• Unifi AP - First Time ...
In this video, I go over how to configure a Unifi Access Point for the first time. If you don't quite know how to install one of these access points and configure it, just follow the steps in this video and get it running in no time.
Now, there is also a mobile app version of the controller software you can use instead of the PC-based controller, but I don't go over that in this video.
I know this doesn't technically belong in the Edgerouter playlist, but I don't really have a home for anything Unifi right now.
This video was a response to a request by user R Gb. If you have any comments or suggestions for other videos leave them down below and I will get to them when (and if) I can.
Completely new to this, I completed the setup on my own but somehow managed to miss one important step. Your video helped me identify that step quickly and resolve my issue within seconds. Thank you!
Thank you so much! This really helped me setup my home network. Since the pandemic we have been working from home and I needed a solid network. I got and Edge-router 10X with a UAP-AC-PRO, I was not sure how to get it up and running but after watching to of your videos, I was up and running in a couple of hours. I was using the PoE on my Edge router but it was not powering the AC-PRO then i noticed it needed 48V and not 24V, beginners mistake!
Man.... That was an AWESOME video. Simple but direct.
Great video. I followed your step by step setup and was finally able to get my WAP working. Thank you, thank you.
I'm placing this comment here too possibly save someone a lot of time maybe. If you have an issue with the device "Not Adopting". Turn off your Anti Virus Software or also your Firewall temporarily and check the software notification for device Adopting. Click it and see if you can now adopt and complete that process. I wasted so much time fumbling with what the hell was wrong until a lot of reading lead me to do that and was later able to complete the process and getting the unit working. Hope this helps someone!
I was hoping somebody had my issue, and lo and behold, this comment solved my problem. THANKS.
Thank you, very much. I was looking for a straight to the point how to on Unify software from scratch, for someone like me that never did a deploy from ground zero with this brand. Great help.
Thanks for your video! My AP wasn't showing up in the software and your little comment was enough for me to get it up and running. You're the best!
Just saw this in my recommended queue. Thank you, very concise and useful info.
Thanks for this video. I could set up my 2 new AC-LR in 30 minutes following your instructions.
You are my hero! I ordered these eero devices that our internet service provider recommended, and they were not working well so I returned them and while futzing with those, I noticed these round disks on the ceiling in the great room and in our gym and had no idea what they were. I thought they had something to do with the smoke detectors/fire sprinklers LOL. I googled the name and found you, thank goodness. Our Audio-visual guy had installed these a few years back before we moved in and I am not versed on these whatsoever but thanks to you and my 12 ft ladder, they are working like a charm. Thank you soooo much! Turns out I never needed the eero devices and had these all along. You rock!!!
Just bought a second hand AP and this is just what I needed to get it up and running - thank you very much !
Does your second hand AP already configured ?
Thank you so much for this - completely straight forward and a huge stress relief. Thank you!!
I have a exam tomorrow on how to install and configurate unifi wifi controller... Just what i needed. Youre a legend for this.
Great video tutorials!
I set up my EdgeRouter X and AP a few years back, but a recent internet problem caused me to wipe everything and start over. These videos helped get everything back up and running quickly and it's been more stable than ever since!
I really love this video. So straightforward to the point. Thank you Toasty Answers.
thinking of switching my old Cisco lightweight AP's and controller to Ubiquiti. Thanks for showing us around the UI so I know how configurable it is with my network
Clear. Simple. Concise. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I am getting ready to buy a pair of these access points and this video makes me confident I can set them up.
Thanks, great help to anyone just getting going. Found you very easy to follow and clear
I have a networking/security camera company and make my living installing Unifi and other Ubiquiti equipment. I love it
Equinox George same!
Best video ever to set up Unifi for a newbie!
Well done. I'm looking to add a Unifi to my home and this was very informative.
You are welcome Ron
Very informative, I'm thinking of upgrading from Deco to this system, and was worried it would be a nightmare. This video has settled my mind thank you.
subbed, enjoyed your voice and humor ty.
Thank you for the video, I used it to setup and connect the nano HD AP.
A huge help. Thank you. Key was me resetting the AP.
Very well done, clear and easy to understand.
Thank you. Getting this at home a a dream machine pro set up for work. This helped a lot.
Thanks a lot. Awesome video. I bought one of these and used your video to quickly set up the device.
Thanks a lot for your information provided in this video. This gives a clear basic knowledge "How to start "
Best video out there on this topic thank you!
Thanks for all your videos. They're great without fuss. I use an edge router x on synchronous 1gig to 2 engenius AP's. They are cheaper and offer better hardware at each price point but the software and support is lacking compared to ubiquiti AP's. Keep it up, man!

Very good step-by-step installation guide. Many thanks
Thank you so much. I’ve watched a few videos and some make is sound so complicated. One thing I wasn’t sure of was whether I have to have the controller running 24 / 7, apparently not unless I want the data
Thanks again
thanks for this video ,i have try to configure my device with the help of this video i did it.i follow the set only.
Broadcasting kind of voice, excellent.
Perfect, straight to the point.
awesome video. This guy speaks my language - technical but to the point!
Dude that was awesome. thanks for this!
Excellent video. I just did mine with your help. Thank you.
Great video I really appreciated it and it helped keep up the good work! 👍🏽
Thank you for this tutorial and your commentary is hilarious 😂
Love the detail. Thanks!
This helps. I've been using an EdgeRouter 6P forever, but I just got a Ubiquiti access point and was wondering about how to get them to play nice. Thanks!
Great video! You saved me hours of learning!
thank you for the tutorial!
It is worth mentioning that some ports should be open on the PC where "controller" is installed.
for example 8080 is used for device (e.g. access point) and controller communication. I think it is not possible to adopt the device if the port is closed on the PC where "controller" is installed.
Gr8 video I actually setup my home WiFi watching this, now I’m a pro.🤗
Also, THANK YOU for all your vids. Just subbed as I'm learning all of this crap after this system was kinda dumped in my lap at work.
Great work insightful
Legend, great video thank you 👍👍
Awesome, thank u. U made the setup a walk in the park.
Thank you for the video. Helped me set up without any issues.
Thx for the effort! This is going to help alot!
Very helpful! Thank you!
Good work. Thank you.
TY Sir. I was a little worried- I bought a UB AP, and the quickstart guide sorta showed all UB gear- switch, router, etc. I thought OH NO , my nighthawk wont work. Following your steps though, things are coming to life.. TY TY
thanks for the view, it was helpful
Thumbs up! Thanks for the video!
Great tutorial thankyou
Amazing video thank you
Thank you man!
thank you for your toasty answer
Great help. Unfortunately I could not get connected with a local log in. I had the same problem as in the video. Disabled Remote Access and "next" button is inop. It's going back. Overkill for what we needed. Its more of an Enterprise solution. Thank you.
thanks !
Nice tutorial,
God bless you...
Excellent ... Well done ...
Excellent tutorial Thx
Great video thanks
thank you very much... your video helped
Super useful! I would have liked to see doing a setup of more than one access point in the same environment but this was great anyways thank you
Thanks! went well.
Well done, thanks
well appreciated
thanks worked for me!
Amazing video man, I was completely lost but now everything working just great! Thank you!
Excellent!
Thanks for the video, helped me setup my AP. I have an additional request. I want to add to my existing wireless network where I use a another router to create the wireless newtorks so I want this unit either to use a wireless uplink and enhance the networks or a wired uplink but still use the same wireless networks as my other two existing ones
I'm not 100% sure if I understand, but the best option would be to use a wired uplink.
Are you talking about using two Unifi APs or a Unifi AP with a third-party router/AP? Wired uplinks will always be best, and you can use the same SSID on more than one. With Unifi APs, roaming works very well between same-SSID APs. With third-party devices it still works, but there may be some hiccups. As long as the SSID, password, and network are the same, you shouldn't have much issue.
Wireless uplinks are generally reserved for when there are no other options. Also, they only function between Unifi devices that support it (you can't wirelessly uplink a Unifi device to a third-party device with the exception of extenders)
Thanks, it was very helpful, a bit problem with Java on iMac.
Sir, starting 1min. of your video is well done already by demonstrating those network devices , pluggings and etc. thank you for sharing this. I will recommend all of my IT buddies.
Great tutorial

Educating video, I think you should do a video on how to manage more than one device on a single controller. Thanks

Thanks a lot for this tutorial. It helped me to get in to the Unifi Program as I didn't notice you could bypass registration with Unify, so thought it was a dead end until your video popped up in my search. Got finished in 5 mins after that :)

you realy help me
learned a lot thks
Great thanks
Appreciate it. This was really helpful!
very helpful Thx
Hi, You mention that the Secondary port on the Wifi AC Pro carries the PoE across to any other device that might want it, is that definitely correct that it carries the PoE to the second port as well as needing it itself?
Thanks for the video - so I can already set up one :) let's see if I can get the 2nd one that way^^.
Great video. Makes it so easy. Thanks 👍🏻
Thanks
