Since UniFi Protect is not as readily available without a hardware investment, I surmised that it may not get as much attention from researchers and could likely use some extra scrutiny. I also found it interesting that the UniFi Protect software was only available on a few Ubiquiti hardware devices - the Cloud Key Gen2 Plus, the UniFi Protect Network Video Recorder, and the UniFi Dream Machine Pro - and not as a standalone software installation as some other Ubiquiti UniFi applications are. To disable the wifi on your router, you need to login the admin interface of your router (most of the time you will find it on or ), find the Wireless settings, and turn it off.I decided to target the Gen2 Plus because devices and software related to surveillance are critical assets to keep secure. You can’t just unplug your router, you need it for you internet connection. The last step is to disable the wifi on your old router because the UAP is strong enough to cover your entire house. This will make the Access Points work better when the controller is not available.
So we are now logged-in the controller and our Access Point is running you first should upgrade the firmware. You will see the dashboard with the connected devices.
Next is the admin credentials for the controller and the device credentials.Configure your Wifi network, enter a name for your Wifi network and a strong password.Reset the Access Point, hold the reset button for 5 sec to set it back to factory settings.Check if there are on the same network as you are. With this tool, you can scan your network for Ubiquiti devices. Download the Ubiquiti Device Discovery Tool from the Chrome App store.If you have any internet protection software running like Norton, Avast or any other firewall software on your computer, open it and disable your firewall to see if you can find the devices. If there are no discovered devices, but your Access Point is running and the light is glowing white then there is something wrong (obvious). Select the devices that you want to configure. On the next page, Configure devices, you will the see the connected Access Points.Select your location and timezone and continue.When you get a warning just click “Advanced” and “Continue to.” After you installed the software, start the controller and hit “Launch a Browser to Manage a Network” or goto in your browser.Go to the download page at and download the latest controller from Windows, Mac or Linux: To install and manage the Unifi Access Point we need to download the controller.So if you have just one access points and no specials needs (like multiple SSIDs) then you can use the Mobile App to set it up. Mobile App can be used to configure a standalone device.When connected you can manage your network remotely. Cloud key is a small device that is bought separately for $ 90,- and that you connect to your network.The Controller doesn’t need to be running all the time, so you can install it on your notebook, configure your Access Points and they will keep working, the only disadvantage is that you don’t have all the insights that you get when the controller is running 24/7.There are multiple options to configure your Access Point, you can use a Controller (a small piece of software), cloud controller (requires Cloud Key) and a mobile app.
This way you can install it, reset it and see what happens more easily than walking upstairs to check the light all time 😉 Step 2 – Manage your Unifi AC I won’t go into detail too much about the actual placement of the Access Point, the Unifi Access Points come with a perfectly clear installation instruction on how to to mount the Access Point.īut before you actually place it, first just connect it to your switch or router with the supplied PoE adapter. So we now know what to buy, where to place it, but how do we install and manage it? Step 1 – Unpack and connect Take a look at Ubiquiti Unifi Access Points, they are pretty cheap, decent and centrally managed with a controller (a small piece of software). Poor wifi coverage at home? Want enterprise-class wifi for an affordable price and easy to install? Sound too good to be true, but it’s possible.
