Can you do a video on configuring Unifi so guests don't get SSL/Certificate errors when first trying to connect to the guest wifi please?
Could be interesting (or maybe silly) to have a video where you have say a 100 ft piece of cat6 and test it at 10Gbit and then see what happens if you introduce various bad practices. For example, a 90+ degree sharp bend, a giant magnet next to it, a 120 line running parallel, crimping staples, etc. Maybe even see if it will work with 8 straight wires at short distance ;)
Would love to see a video of the landing page for guest networks. I've tried for over a year to get that to work and even their support can't make it work correctly. Our guest network is free so all they have to agree to the terms and it is supposed to redirect them to another page once they do that but it has never worked and support can't figure out why.
Hi I’d like to see how you setup the landing page for guests to put in a password. I have been playing with this at home but all methods seem to show the portal is “not secure” along with the redirection url
Great video (as usual), informative and succinct. The part about the Hotspot Portal checkbox in the WiFi section was not clear to me. If you create an Isolation network in the Networks section but do not enable the Hotspot Portal checkbox in the WiFi section, is this still an isolated network (i.e., Guest network) with all of the Guest Network rules? And what is the relationship of the "Hotspot Portal" setting and the landing page? Can you check (enable) the Hotspot Portal without a mandatory landing page?
Thank you for the great video.Full support from middle of the Atlantic Ocean. As I have limited access to internet - can you tell me did you show on some video how to limit the data bundle for each guest/or stuff member ? Im in process of setting up network for my crew on board the vessel- but due to limited resources we have to share satelite "data bundles " equaly/honestly. Wrgds and mthks in advance.
I'd really like to see what the default firewall rules for Guest (isolation) are doing. I tried to manually isolate a Vlan and things were not working, which worked when using the baked in isolation. I just want to see what their rules are actually doing. Curious about what is being allowed/disallowed.
The video was extremely useful, thank you very much.
Useful video Willie. You got my 'Like' 🙂
Thank you, I like this video!
Thanks Willi great video!
pls do a video on how to create voucher on the landing page guest network and how to view and print out the batch voucher for guest plssss
I have a separate VLAN for my Printers, Copiers, and Scanners. How would I create a Firewall rule to allow the Guest VLAN to access this Printer VLAN? Would I do it as a LAN (Lan IN) rule or as a Guest (Guest Local/IN) rule?
would love to use a qr code for my guest network that kicks them off after 24 hours ...people come over ...use guest wifi and the next day I dont have to worry about anyone using my wifi for free ...if they come back over just rescan the code
Willie, Can you make yourself smaller on the videos, you cover up most of the bottom right corner and we cant see the screen.
Ah some differences, my version is still 7.2.97. I press the pause button on the wifi tab for the guest network when there are no guests around.
Could I add a 3rd party device that needs internet access using guest? eg. security controller.
Would love the extend guest Hotspots portal
Seems like these videos need updated every couple months, as Ubiquiti s constantly changing things. I have yet to find a guide that is getting an open guest network up and running under 8.1.113
Willie, why my guest landing wont show up when i connected to my guest wifi? Please your advise. Thanks
