My son (like 43 year old son and a cybersecurity expert) talked me into upgrading my system to Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway and U6+ Access Points. I couldn't be more pleased. Your video help me understand the setup process before I began. It's now up and running and working GREAT. Thank you!
Great video. I have been using Unifi for a number of years and still learned a few new things. I currently have a Unifi network in my motorhome which is going to be the base of my mobile office when I hit the road. Keep up the great work!
This is fantastic. I'm considering moving onward from a Amplifi HD (and additional HDs as mesh/ap points) to Wifi 6. One path was Firewalla + Omada AP. This looks like a great path in one ecosystem.
Chris, I have to say, I appreciate your meathod of teaching! You speak very clearly, and at a perfect cadence. I get my first Unifi device 3 days from now. A UCG-Max. Your video series is just what I need! I'll be converting from pfSense with 5 VLANs. I know firewall rules are a bit different. So, I'll be looking forward to your take on that. Thanks so much!
Thank you, Chris. Great and timely video for me. I watched your entire previous setup series a while ago, and made it easier to help get my Unifi network set up then. Now, with all the updates to the Unifi OS and the applications, this has been a great refresher for me and learned a bunch about some of the new functionality. Look forward to the next set of videos in the series.... I hope!
Thanks for this video! Perfect timing for me :-) I am getting in to the UniFi world and got my Cloud Gateway Ultra, Ultra Switch 60W and U6 Mesh today.
THANK YOU!! There are moms that my wife tells about how I have timers set on TH-cam and social media for the kids and safe search so we don't see the crazy. I can wait for that video and maybe show how to set times on the rules and all :) I will be sending them that video.
Brilliant video, I'm super exited for the next videos where you'll cover all the other topics. Also for me the timing is perfect since I started my UniFi implementation.
Now UCG ultra is becoming readily availablr it would be great to see a guide on updating a USG-3 and CK1. The CK1 is stuck on an old version so im pretty it needs to be updated before moving to the UCG ultra.
Great video and I'd love to do this, thie interface and control over the devices looks really nice, and I really want their doorbell products as well. but the idea of having to pull floor boards up across the whole house and drill holes into walls and ceilings to run cables for APs feels like over kill in a residential home when most regular WIFI routers would reach most corners of moderately sized houses.
Will you be doing an updated video on firewall/access rules setup for multiple networks using the “newer” ways Ubiquiti prefers? Your previous multi video series on a full setup was invaluable. I haven’t even attempted to translate my firewall rules into the newer traffic rules they’ve implemented.
Could you do a tutorial how to replace a USG + Cloudkey on an existing install to a newer cloud gateway like the Dream Machine Pro or Cloud Gateway Ultra. I'd like to keep the whole network "down the line" (switches and AP's) the same including all configurations of those and the firewall
Great video, seems the more I look for rv network solutions the more I end up back here. So I just subbed to make it easier :) I was looking at going all unifi but every time I get a plan one part or another is never in stock from unifi and the choice comes down to going to a different brand or pay the scalping prices. Sad that unifi is dong nothing but helping scalpers and pushing people away from their products.
Can you do a video on how to use the Unifi fiber products? Sooner or later, ISPs that currently offer fiber Internet service will allow their WAN signal to go directly into the Passive Optical Network devices like the Ubiquiti GPONs. It's nice to know what to do when such an option is offered.
This video is awesome! Can you cover any settings we should consider on our home Internet modems that are feeding the Ubiquiti setup? My AT&T modem comes with its own AP and security settings and I’m always wondering if there’s anything in there that I should change from default in order to optimize my Ubiquiti network (speed, security, port filtering for gaming, etc).
As always very informative, One question when setting up the USG Ultra as per your video I cant connect to my Guest ssid, if i change the guest network back to to default network (Ie Not Vlan 2) then I can Connect.
Thats what I am wanting to do as well but the switch will work fine if you have the controller you can still talk to them. I am using Mikrotik right now and its working great the omada router will not port forward to use with a reverse dns right if adopted into the omada network any inbound connect not defined will fall through to the login for the controller
Great video! I referenced this video for my first Ubiquiti set up. So far, I'm loving it. I do have a few things That i'd like to change. I have a Cloud Gateway Max, Switch Ultra (same from this video) and 2 U6 Pro APs. What is a good POC for some assisstance? I'm sure my two main issues are easily addressed, just not looking to discuss it here. Thanks!!! /Frank
When I saw the Ultra released, I ordered. Working on converting my hodge podge of stuff including Orbi for years, to Ubiquiti. Had used them for work before and knew they were solid but needed at least 1 Gb with full IDS/filtering. It’s here now. Here we go. I bet they made you use the MSRP of the gateway with no storage so for those who don’t know, is misleading. The only model available today is 512MB storage. I removed it to use elsewhere. No plan to use Unifi Protect. No storage option won’t be available until late August.
When i moved from cisco to unifi for my home network it was like having to oearn everything over again. The cisco does stuff in terms of firewall and ACL is really not the same i found out. These videos helps me. I might be a Cisco CCNP person but unifi doesn't work the same in the firewall with how rules are layed out
Brilliant video. Can I use a generia switch or do I need to use a unifi switch for this setup to work? Also, does the unifi ultra completely replace my ISP's router?
Really enjoying this series. I have a multi-floor property and wonder what hardware is best for extending out the network. Wired is not an option, I currently use a mesh which has been successful for a number of years.
Great vid, I knew nothing about Unifi but bought a house with Unifi APs. I now have the Gateway, a Linksys switch and the Unifi APs running very well. Is there any advantage to swapping out the Linksys switch to Unifi? it is a 16 port with 8 POE, just wondering if its worth the extra cost? Thanks...
What I don't like about ubiquiti is they have no customer or sales support. So I need to find someone else that knows their product tell me what to buy, then who do I ask for customer support? Can I daisy chain these switches and create multiple subnets to share the same ISP or do I need one gateway per subnet?
I want to add unifi hardware into my network. Only thing keeping me from doing so, aside from trying to get my spending under control again, is that I have Starlink, and I don't really want to switch it to bypass mode just to connect external hardware that's going to take over all the functions of the Starlink router to begin with minus the modem function. Unless I'm way overthinking things like normal and can leave my Starlink router as is and just use the network controller to manage the unifi hardware.
When connecting multiple WAP, will your devices connect to the strongest signal? Say I'm walking through the house with my phone, will it bounce between WAPs depending on the signal strength?
The way this UniFi network was configured in this video, a double NAT (Network Address Translation) situation exists: The T-Mobile gateway is providing NAT and the UniFi gateway is also providing NAT. Double NAT could potentially cause problems with servers, peer-to-peer networking, and some games. Does the T-Mobile gateway have the ability to be set to bridge mode, so that its router functions are disabled and the UniFi system serves as the only DHCP server on the network?
If I own a dream machine wifi5 capable, what happens when I connect the u6+ Access point? Should I sell the dream machine and use the UCG Ultra Gateway instead?
the switch has 1GB ports right ? the U6 PRO promises 4.8 Gbps on 5GHz, of course it will never reach that speed, but does the 1Gb poe switch limit the access points ?
Informative except based on what I saw I don't need a switch to accomplish the wifi setup for my home.I would ask how exactly i would setup a second or third wireless access point across the house away from the gateway without having to run a Ethernet cable clear across the house.
You're still gunna have to run a cable for internet or POE to the AP. However, you can just use a POE injector instead, if the switch you're using doesn't have POE.
Great video, but I have a problem. Is it possible to have a AP backbone connect through two serial connected switches to the Dream Machine router? I attempted to create a Unifi network but encountered a problem. My home requires me to locate my Unifi Dream Machine in an office with a single cat-5e cable to a Central Lite 8 PoE switch located in a separate room. From that Central switch single cat-5e cables connect to two remote home locations where additional Lite 8 PoE switches are located. A single UK-Ultra Access Point is attached to each of the two remote switches. Unfortunately Adoption of the Access Points always fails.
Just got a Gateway Max and U6 Pro. When adopt and add the U6 Pro then create a wifi network with a name and password it saves but shows me the network twice. It does the same when I create a single guest network I end up with the guest shown and listed twice. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. It's new fresh install and new hardware unboxed today.
Please do a video where you migrate from USG 3 and CK2 to Unify Gateway Ultra. There must be thousands upgrading to Gateway Ultra wanting to know the easiest process to do so. Looking at the internet, there does not seem to be an standard method of dooing this. Thanks in advance.
I just recently purchased a Cloud Gateway Ultra and a U7 Wall AP. I ended up having to SSH into both the CGU and the U7 to force update their firmware to the most recent early access firmware so that the CGU could see the U7 to be able to adopt it. Have you ran into similar issues?
How many networks do you recommend for an average home uses with some laptops, phones, and IOT devices? I see some vides that have all kinds of networks to keep everything segregated, but that just seems like overkill. Would you recommend a Main network for all my laptops, phones etc, an IOT network for all my thermostats, plugs, etc, and maybe a Guest network for people who come over? Is there any real need for more than that? Do I even really need an IOT network?
Hello, is it possible to store videos from cameras on other storage besides the intergrated NVMe SSD storage limited to only 2TB? 2TB is very limiting. Thank you for your reply
Stupid question. I currently have a Base UDM, and I am going to upgrade to the UCG Ultra when we move. Can I set up the UCG Ultra on my home network alongside of the UDM, then take it to the new place and connect it to a different ISP and have it work instantly? Where we are at currently is comcast but moving to a location that has FIOS.
I have a Cloudkey Gen 2 Plus, running my Network and four Protect cameras. If I install a Cloud Gateway Ultra into the mix, will it conflict with the network controller on the cloudkey? Would I need to turn off Network on my CKG2+?
Is this a good setup for hotel and resort? UAP-AC-In Wall, CLOUDKEY +, GATEWAY LITE, STANDARD 24 POE SWITCH. I'm having hard time, hoping you can help me.
I currently have the original UDM, would there be an increase of over throughput/speed if I upgraded to a UCG-Ultra knowing that I would lose the built wifi access point? I have 1g fibre service connected through a TP-Link Gigabit SFP to RJ45 Fiber Media Converter.
I wish they UBNT made a USG Ultra with POE. My use case is on a mobile cart, and i'd love to choose my AP and then mount the USGUltra-withPOE in a hidden away spot. Having all 3 devices plus power bricks is pretty messy. and the dream router im using now is an awkward shape.
@@mvp_kryptonite yeah i have 3 of them. my issue with them is they're relatively slow. 8 minutes for a reboot is crazy. faster if it's AP only, but they APs in them are less than ideal for my use case. Im competing with video crews with high gain/ high broadcast power antennas, and they use like 10 of them at once.
Be warned that the Flex Mini is not a managed switch, I mean for been so cheap, Ubiquiti remove the most advance features like Tag, Untag vlan networks, and only admit 'block all' or 'accept all' not custom vlan setting by ports.
This is true, but that’s fine for most use cases. If you need it in a particular VLAN, just make sure the network switch port powering up the flex mini is set to Untagged for whichever VLAN you need. I use it with my IoT VLAN.
I find the unifi lineup frustrating. Atm ive got a UDR and 1 wifi6 AP for coverage, powered by a POE socket. but my internet is beyond 1gbps. Id really like a gen2 UDR, with wifi7, and a full bank of 2.5G ethernet. Quite frankly, today in 2024, i think all higher end prosumer network gear should be 2.5g minimum. 1gbps ethernet has been available dirt cheap for over a decade, and while i understand 5 and 10g is a big jump, 2.5 really shouldn't be. Sure, ISP provided cheap crap routers can be 1g, but £100-£300 kit should be 2.5 baseline on the wires. I was considering a UXGmax, and 2 U7s but the UXG has no POE ports. I rent, and dont have the space for the rack mount gear, or really the justification of price for such high end kit. Here is hoping for an upgraded UDR, with 4x4 wifi7, and 2.5G ports across the board, and at least 2 being POE like the current one. If they could bring that to market for less than $300, maybe 200 ish, they'd be out of stock forever with demand id think.
Is there something different I need to do in NZ? I've plugged my UCG Ultra into my ONT fibre box and have had zero luck. I keep getting an error message "Primary Internet connection is down"
As much as I like this tutorial, I would highly recommend NOT setting any system to auto update. Always review updates before applying them as some may break things. If a system is working and secure, you may not need to update. UI is pretty good with updates, but I would always review before updating. Autobackups I agree with though.

Id really like a gen2 UDR, with wifi7, and a full bank of 2.5G ethernet. Quite frankly, today in 2024, i think all higher end prosumer network gear should be 2.5g minimum. 1gbps ethernet has been available dirt cheap for over a decade, and while i understand 5 and 10g is a big jump, 2.5 really shouldn't be. Sure, ISP provided cheap crap routers can be 1g, but £100-£300 kit should be 2.5 baseline on the wires.
I was considering a UXGmax, and 2 U7s but the UXG has no POE ports. I rent, and dont have the space for the rack mount gear, or really the justification of price for such high end kit.
Here is hoping for an upgraded UDR, with 4x4 wifi7, and 2.5G ports across the board, and at least 2 being POE like the current one. If they could bring that to market for less than $300, maybe 200 ish, they'd be out of stock forever with demand id think.
Is there something different I need to do in NZ? I've plugged my UCG Ultra into my ONT fibre box and have had zero luck. I keep getting an error message "Primary Internet connection is down"
As much as I like this tutorial, I would highly recommend NOT setting any system to auto update. Always review updates before applying them as some may break things. If a system is working and secure, you may not need to update. UI is pretty good with updates, but I would always review before updating. Autobackups I agree with though.
