I have watched hundreds of UniFi Setup videos over the years. This was by far the cleanest, most concise and easy to follow (along with excellent suggestions and explanations) I have seen. Well done!
I've been in the networking business for over 40 years, so I chuckled when he referred to the old days of networking. Having been around for a while, I'm in a good position to say that this is one of the best instructional videos I've ever watched -- on any subject. I'm considering covering my consumer-grade home network to UniFi and this will be something I refer to again and again. Thanks!
So I know nothing about networking or switches or routers (I am a MD). I found this guy who would setup a whole Unifi system in my house consisting of 11 APs (all of the cabling is already done) and was going to charge me 5000 euro just for the installation.... which was around the same amount I already paid for my devices. I said I would do it myself. Thanks to you, I was able to install this system, setup different VLANs and help me understand how all of the basics work. Now my wife can spend 5K on something else ;)
I've been watching unifi videos for the past 3 weeks non-stop and this has been the absolute best video i've come across. Thank you for putting this together. Looking forward to getting my network all setup tomorrow when my gear arrives. Perfect timing!.
One of the BEST Unifi videos I've seen! Your security section and VLAN section was very easy to follow and understand. New subscriber! Keep up the GREAT WORK!!!
I work in the computer security field so terms make sense but I was not familiar with Unifi’s environment. I bought a house that had a Unifi network already installed but it was very basic and un-configured for good security hygiene. I looked at a lot of Unifi config videos. This was by far the most comprehensive and easiest to follow. Thanks!! Props to your Apollo passion. My dad was an engineer on Apollo and designed some critical systems on the LEM and CSM
I've watched tens of Unifi complete setup, but this video is the best one by far. Thank you so much for your kind effort on making this video. Please add donation/support or whatever link so that people outside US can support you on making other great videos.
Great video. Clear easy understand. 1 suggestion: put your selfie video in the corner and keep the user interface visible fulltime so learning user has more time seeing the interface
Excellent video! It would be helpful if you edited with a picture in picture of your talking head shot so we could spend more time orienting to the screen you are on. Your instructions are so clear I feel like I can take this VLAN configuration on myself!
Amazing stuff!!! Please keep more content coming as I recently converted my entire network over to Unify and love it so far! Would love to see more advanced features on what the UDM pro and Switches can do!
Great video of setting up unifi. Next how about a video around setting up firewall rules and best practices for securing the vlans. Firewall rules to disable vlans from talking the the Unifi gateway except on Default network as an example.
Perfect timing I just received my cloud gateway ultra today. I like the basic approach to get up and running then customizing as you get more comfortable. I hope you can offer more videos on the unifi ecosystem. Thanks for this.
I learned a lot from this, and i think what helped was the tone of the voice and detailed explanation. I would recommend if the guest speed limit is per device, set the speed to max 5mbit down and 3mbit up if it was for a coffee shop.
your video are very easy to understand. Outstanding!!! It would be great if you could do video on firewall configuration in the future. Thank you for taking the time to make a laymen video.😃
i got fresh into the unifi world and this video was just the GOAT ! watched like 20 videos and this video just answered all my questions. thank you so much.
I was wondering, per your example setup. you mentioned that you dont want certain devices talking to the rest of the network so you would put them on the IoT network. so for a home network, if you have such things as alexas and appliances that can be controlled by your smart phone. how would you set that up? some of the appliances require your phone to be connected to the same network, but i would think you would want your phone to be connected to the "staff" network. sorry i may be over thinking this, but i am still learning.
This video is amazing. Great explanation, not skipping anything and just great advice in general. When I get my Unifi Routing hardware, I’m going to set up the same VLANS except for the VoIP network, since I don’t need it.
Thank you for this video!! I'm getting my Dream machine Pro and U6+ and your video has helped me feel confident in setting it all up once it gets delivered. You've got a new subscriber.
Great video. I would like to see more in depth videos related to how UniFi VPNs work. Also a video about how to get devices to talk across VLANs properly. I have a SONOS system on my IOT network, but my phone can’t talk to the system without getting on the same WiFi as the Sonos system.
@BruceRichwineJr, unfortunately you will find this the case with some devices like Sonos, I have the same problems with Roku streamers. There applications are "hard coded" to look on the same network as your mobile device. You can try setting up mDNS and see if you can over come this and get it to work but I wouldn't get your hopes up. Good luck....
Even without VLANs and VPNs, your device has to be on the same network as the Sonos. I have specific settings to put on my network devices to ensure the Sonos will work correctly, and I only use Ubiquiti products. I had this setup in 4 different office buildings we had.
I had the same problem with my customer’s Sonos systems, we find it best to be on the same network as the WIFI network. When I had WIFI on one VLAN and the Sonos on another VLAN with no traffic rules, Sonos system gave us trouble.😊
@@gregcandido2218 yeah, I’ve found the same issues you did. But originally I did have things working properly, but after and update to my UDM SE traffic stopped being passed between the two networks. It’s fine. I just created a new VLAN called media devices and separated it from my work and personal data devices. Only personal device that touches the media network is my phone.
Hands down best networking guide video I have seen. Thanks so much for creating this content. I would love to see a series of videos that provide high level details on different configuration recommendations based on the types of business you are setting the network up for. For example I am building out a network right now for a Coworking space that has high variability in devices and has a need for a in between VLAN config for clients in addition to staff but are connecting to same WiFi network. Any advice appreciated!
Very nice video! Just a small improvement is to let the dns on the vlans auto and set the DNS records in the WAN settings. In case you want to change it for any reason you don’t need to do that for every network again
If you keep up this great work, your channel is about to blow up. This was the most needed thing for me to see concerning proper setup for my UDM. Thank you!
Great help! I just happened to have the exact same setup as you have here, but ran into one major issue. 21:40 or so you change the network to all the ports to the staff network…. Well after looking at it you only change the unused ports. When I selected all (which is what the video sounds like you intended) it cut off the 24 port switch, and it was then basically DOA. ( I know I could SSH in, but I can’t yet for other reasons)… so I have just reset all my devices for the third time, and think I finally understand what I am doing (changing the network of the switch, so it can’t connect, and as I cut it off I can’t change it back. Judy want to let others know if they have the same issue as their switch suddenly is just offline, but working! Thanks for really great help in setting up my network!
This is exactly what happened to me as well. Everything was going well until that step, then boom...DOA. Had to reset everything and start over and now I've afraid to do this all over again. I'm not IT savvy, but your comment is helpful to avoid this happening again, so thanks.
Great video and I appreciate your time and effort to make this. You might consider making second video on firewall rules. My question is ..does the core network has the rules that allow access to other vlans ? What are default rules for the vlans you created ? Also note pfsense can be as an IDS and IPS. Snort and Suricata works pretty well on pfsense.
Thats actually the only thing I am missing in this Tutorial - as per default all networks are allowed to talk to each other. With the latest update to "Network 8.1.127" the Tab "Traffic Rules" has been deleted, so one has to configure this with the "Firewall Rules", but I couldnt find any video lately that covers this issue.
Thank you for a great video! I am about to put in my first Unifi system in my home and this was a great setup tutorial! I learned some things from the information you shared. Keep the videos coming!
Great video, I have I full unifi network and have deployed one for my local Shrine. the one questions I have is how to block networks from getting to the web interface of the gateway.
Awesome video. Learned lots. I wish you would keep your computer screen live so we can digest the data while you are talking. You can be live as well but just in a small portion of the screen.
Super concise video and really REALLY good for Unifi newbies like me. Makes me feel a lot more confident setting up my new home network now. Thank you so much.
Two minor corrections: Your timestamp about for VPN's is incorrect. It shows 28:53 and it should be 38:53. Also, it is Virtual Private Network, not Virturial Private Network as shown in the video. Otherwise, a great video.
Wow, amazing video. Just ordered from Ubiquiti: modem, UDM Pro, 48 port Pro max and u6 Pro APs - and I've watched this video twice ahead of delivery. Very well presented, easy to follow, great coverage of the main features, and excellent editing - my confidence is high! Thank you.
Best Introduction Video I has seen so far for Unifi. Great Job! What would be interesting to see how to setup for me would be how to setup two separate VPNs, one for P2P activity and one to connect to internal resources from outside, as well as how to apply those VPNs application or device based. Additionally would be interesting how to set routes for app with several requirements. Like how to route traffic via a Pi-Hole in the System, route individual wifi over VPN or also even only certain applications with defined ports. Thank you!
I have one question.. Due to interference in the private address 192.168.1.1, my ISP router has the same address.. I had big problems connecting to Ubiquiti at all, so I switched to TP-Link.. Do you have any suggestions on how to solve this problem or maybe you have a video? BtW.. It's my first time on the channel, but the video is phenomenal! With such video details, Network is a piece of cake.. The video is direct, clean, detailed explanation with reasons, examples and practical comparisons, without using a lot of technical words. Well done! I subscribed immediately😃👍🏻
This Tutorial is awesome! Very thorough explanation, absolutely love it! Could you do a follow up on specific Wifi Optimisation & Setup (Channel Settings, Band Steering, etc.)
3:52 - Great video! I just bought 1 access point (U6 mesh) to add to my home network with no other Unifi devices. What is the name of the Windows software I will need to set it up?
Wonderful job on this video. Simple and to the point. Thank you so much, so excited to use this at work. Note - Teleport icon reminds me of "Tie Fighter". Cool :)
Great video. I followed along to setup my home Unifi network. FYI I believe "ultimate" is misspelled in your thumbnail. You should be able to replace that.
Curious as to why you set the DNS server at the individual network level rather than at the WAN level? Also, what's the advantage of going changing classes of IP addresses?
I didn't see it mentioned, but the individual AP settings are also important. Output power, channel selection, and RSSI all play a part in allowing your devices to achieve high throughput and seamlessly roam between APs
Can I use .lan instead of .local? I get a multicast warning, and I also cant seem to visit it from my browser. Thanks for the great video though this has really helped :)
Hi sir I'm fan of your video can I ask question? if I don't have controller and I have unifi A6plus AP.. how I can open it ? it is okay to buy a poe adaptor with 24volts? I hope you Will reply thank you..
Great video, you explain things very well. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I am not new to networking but I am new to Unifi. I just ordered my first 2 pieces of equipment from them, The Cloud Gateway Ultra and there Access Point U6. very excited to get the equipment and with the help of your video get it setup. My current setup I am using a Synology RT6600 AX router with built in wifi and I have setup VLANs for my home network with it.
That was a very informative video. I setup my home network based off of that video. I have a few questions that hopefully you can help me with. I have a bunch of wired ioT devices and want to know if I need to or should do anything with Tagged Vlan Management for those ports? Also which Vlan would you recommend putting the kids gaming devices on. Thank You
Just sub'd for this video! I have similar setup and it seems I configed it quite good comparing it with your guide! Learned a few things as well! What I would love you see in a Future video is this: I have a server subnet with an ASUSTOR NAS in it. I want to backup my NAS over the internet (r-sync protocol) to another ASUSTOR NAS at my sister her house. So what unifi hardware is needed with my sister her house and how to configure the vpn between those 2 devices so that the backup of my NAS is encrypted while going over the internet to the other NAS at my sister. I'm Dutch speaking so excuse me trying to explain it ... 😅 Greetz from Belgium
Hey, thank you!! And that should be made relatively simple with Unifi’s site magic. It will automatically create the VPN connection and do most of the heavy work. But Ubiquiti cloud gateways also support a range of other VPN protocols so you don’t need to have Unifi gear on the other end. For a small deployment a UniFi express gateway is perfect as well as a Dream Router!
I had this rpi with pihole and wireguard setup once and use the wireguard app to get back home. But i've set it up years ago via a lot of YT vids so can't remember how i did it hehehehe 😅 Let alone installing an rpi at my sister her house and setting up that with their stock ISP modem/router... So be free to upload a vid on how to setup 2 unifi devices creating backups over internet 😊
First. Brilliant tutorial. Thank you. Second. If i connect to my stuff vlan 10.xx.2. It totally buggy and not working at all to connect to my 10.xx.1 or 10.xx.5 devices. Any ideas?
Great tutorial. Will love to see a part-2 for Firewall settings specially blocking Security and IoT network from landing into the UDM login gateway portal.
I plan on buying UniFi gear real soon so this video was super helpful! I was wondering if you can make a video for making a VLAN local only and doesn't connect to the internet. i'm planning to put PoE cameras at my house but I want to restrict them from using internet connection. I was wondering if this is possible. Well Done on the video!
I believe the newer ones now have a 1click setting just below isolate network called ”Allow Internet Access”. You could also create rules that block internet access and apply it to the network. If using a third party camera system and not rollout your own, turning off internet access can create some setup issues, but should otherwise work.
Amazing video, thank you! What's the reasoning for setting the switch's DNS to Cloudflare rather than 10.69.1.1 and centrally control/monitor things there (with its upstream being Cloudflare)?
I have watched hundreds of UniFi Setup videos over the years. This was by far the cleanest, most concise and easy to follow (along with excellent suggestions and explanations) I have seen. Well done!
nothing to add here, well done!
Totally agree with you. This is just great content.
Agreed!
its as if he's a real professional consultant lol
Man, this guy is GREAT at presenting and explaining things. Please, more videos like this!
Definitely want an ADVANCED and EXPERT config guide.
I’m joining this request as well. BTW great video guys.

That is what they call a good WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor)
@@RealLordy hahaha!
You have 11 APs in your house? o.o Do you have a Ap per room or do you live in a mansion ? xd
In EU most walls are concrete so need more APs
@@ufomism In EU, most walls are brick, Ytong or other kind of brick with good isolation. Concrete walls are not that common.

your video are very easy to understand. Outstanding!!! It would be great if you could do video on firewall configuration in the future. Thank you for taking the time to make a laymen video.😃

sorry i may be over thinking this, but i am still learning.
It is very upsetting that the poster of this video never answered this.
Thank you for this tutorial. Fantastic introduction to this system. Setting up for home use. Made my transition from "regular" routers very simple.
This video is amazing. Great explanation, not skipping anything and just great advice in general. When I get my Unifi Routing hardware, I’m going to set up the same VLANS except for the VoIP network, since I don’t need it.

Best Unifi configuration Guide I've seen thus far!
Bro, great job. This is one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen.
Would have loved this when I was setting up mine a few years ago. Great refresher too. Hope to see you go into more advanced stuff.
Very nice video! Just a small improvement is to let the dns on the vlans auto and set the DNS records in the WAN settings. In case you want to change it for any reason you don’t need to do that for every network again

Thank you for your video : very educational and clear! you have won a subscriber!
Much love from kenya. you earned a sub. very smooth content, loved your lessons.
Thank you; just got into this ubiquiti thing and this is quality content
Best Introduction Video I has seen so far for Unifi. Great Job! What would be interesting to see how to setup for me would be how to setup two separate VPNs, one for P2P activity and one to connect to internal resources from outside, as well as how to apply those VPNs application or device based.

Like how to route traffic via a Pi-Hole in the System, route individual wifi over VPN or also even only certain applications with defined ports. Thank you!

What a super comprehensive Video. Thank you 1000x Filiep from Belgium
WOW!! well done great video. So much great information and useful tips! Keep up the great work
This is an excellent video. Exactly what I was looking for to learn about UniFi.
That was the bets tutorial I've ever watched. I learned more in that 45 minute than I did in 6 months of my IT cert.
Thanks for this great video. Helped me a lot to understand my network controller better.
This was the best video i've seen about this gear! Good Job guys!
cleanest unifi video... direct and very informative
Great helpful video. Why did you go with 10.69.2.6 for the Voip Network?
Great video. Well done !! Congratulations
This video is super cool! I've learned a lot, many thanks for making it!
This is simply outstanding. Will definitely use the affiliate link.
3:52 - Great video! I just bought 1 access point (U6 mesh) to add to my home network with no other Unifi devices. What is the name of the Windows software I will need to set it up?
Wonderful job on this video. Simple and to the point. Thank you so much, so excited to use this at work. Note - Teleport icon reminds me of "Tie Fighter". Cool :)
Can i use Pi-Hole and DNS Shield in the same network? I want as much comprehensive coverage as I can get
Great video. I followed along to setup my home Unifi network.
FYI I believe "ultimate" is misspelled in your thumbnail. You should be able to replace that.
Great tutorial.
The only part that had missing details was the selection of port on the switch.
Curious as to why you set the DNS server at the individual network level rather than at the WAN level?
Also, what's the advantage of going changing classes of IP addresses?
Great video! Thank you for making it - it certainly helps with setting up these devices!
This video is very informative and easy to follow.
I wonder if you can make a video about configuring a RADIUS server on Unifi Gateway.
I didn't see it mentioned, but the individual AP settings are also important. Output power, channel selection, and RSSI all play a part in allowing your devices to achieve high throughput and seamlessly roam between APs
Great content and extremely easy to digest, even for an IT expert, looking to check out UniFi offer. Keep up good work.
Gateway connects you to other networks, not necessarily the internet, right?
Can I use .lan instead of .local? I get a multicast warning, and I also cant seem to visit it from my browser. Thanks for the great video though this has really helped :)
Great video! I've learned a lot from this. I would like to see a video clarifying the set inform process and how/why to use it.
Hi sir I'm fan of your video can I ask question?
if I don't have controller and I have unifi A6plus AP.. how I can open it ? it is okay to buy a poe adaptor with 24volts?
I hope you Will reply thank you..
Great video, you explain things very well. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I am not new to networking but I am new to Unifi. I just ordered my first 2 pieces of equipment from them, The Cloud Gateway Ultra and there Access Point U6. very excited to get the equipment and with the help of your video get it setup. My current setup I am using a Synology RT6600 AX router with built in wifi and I have setup VLANs for my home network with it.
That was a very informative video. I setup my home network based off of that video. I have a few questions that hopefully you can help me with. I have a bunch of wired ioT devices and want to know if I need to or should do anything with Tagged Vlan Management for those ports? Also which Vlan would you recommend putting the kids gaming devices on. Thank You
Thankyou so much, this video is simply incredible and well done! I appreciate you guys a lot!
This video is so good. I wish I could like over 100 times. Thanks a lot for this.
thanks a lot for this video! This has clarified to me a things allowing to fill the dots and cover some black spots, thanks again
Just sub'd for this video! I have similar setup and it seems I configed it quite good comparing it with your guide! Learned a few things as well! What I would love you see in a Future video is this:
I have a server subnet with an ASUSTOR NAS in it. I want to backup my NAS over the internet (r-sync protocol) to another ASUSTOR NAS at my sister her house. So what unifi hardware is needed with my sister her house and how to configure the vpn between those 2 devices so that the backup of my NAS is encrypted while going over the internet to the other NAS at my sister.
I'm Dutch speaking so excuse me trying to explain it ... 😅

Hey, thank you!! And that should be made relatively simple with Unifi’s site magic. It will automatically create the VPN connection and do most of the heavy work. But Ubiquiti cloud gateways also support a range of other VPN protocols so you don’t need to have Unifi gear on the other end. For a small deployment a UniFi express gateway is perfect as well as a Dream Router!
I had this rpi with pihole and wireguard setup once and use the wireguard app to get back home. But i've set it up years ago via a lot of YT vids so can't remember how i did it hehehehe 😅
Let alone installing an rpi at my sister her house and setting up that with their stock ISP modem/router...
So be free to upload a vid on how to setup 2 unifi devices creating backups over internet 😊
First. Brilliant tutorial. Thank you. Second. If i connect to my stuff vlan 10.xx.2. It totally buggy and not working at all to connect to my 10.xx.1 or 10.xx.5 devices. Any ideas?
Hi, thanks for this amazing video. Please next time make a video of how to remotely access my console from a different network.
Great tutorial. Will love to see a part-2 for Firewall settings specially blocking Security and IoT network from landing into the UDM login gateway portal.
Great video, I feel like I really screwed up on security. What do you think about PIA as a VPN provider?
I plan on buying UniFi gear real soon so this video was super helpful! I was wondering if you can make a video for making a VLAN local only and doesn't connect to the internet. i'm planning to put PoE cameras at my house but I want to restrict them from using internet connection. I was wondering if this is possible. Well Done on the video!
I believe the newer ones now have a 1click setting just below isolate network called ”Allow Internet Access”. You could also create rules that block internet access and apply it to the network.
If using a third party camera system and not rollout your own, turning off internet access can create some setup issues, but should otherwise work.
What a brilliant video, fantastic explanations throughout
Amazing video, thank you! What's the reasoning for setting the switch's DNS to Cloudflare rather than 10.69.1.1 and centrally control/monitor things there (with its upstream being Cloudflare)?
great video. Do you guys work with networks that have Control4 in them for Home automation?
Great video especially for those who are just getting into using the UniFi Ecosystem.
This helped me so much Thank you
Forgive me as I may have missed it, but under VLANs you created a "security network". What do you plan on using that for? Is that for your cameras?
The answer is at this point 10:13 . Cameras and other security related items.
Cody, awesome video and amazing channel! What are your thoughts on TP-Link Omada?
