If it is unable to, the device will enter Isolated Mode - where its radios will stop broadcasting, and it will attempt to mesh to a linked access point. UniFi’s Uplink Connectivity Monitor feature detects if the device is able to reach the internet (or a defined address) through its available network interfaces. The AP will enter Isolated Mode if it does not detect a working uplink/gateway Any changes that are made over SSH will be reset if you perform a Save from the UniFi controller app. The lack of the latter setting is quite undesirable, as you have to change it over SSH since the option is not available in-app. You miss out on band steering, airtime fairness, and uplink connectivity monitor functionality. The only settings you can change from the UniFi Controller app on your phone are basic WiFi, radio settings (SSID, Password, Channel, TX/RX Strength) and smaller insignificant options. UniFi Controller is limited when configuring standalone devices Devices that connect to the AP therefore also do not need an IP address leased by a DHCP server they can statically assign their own. The access point doesn’t need to be assigned an IP address from a DHCP server on the network, as it is just a network bridge. This is sort of obvious, given that access points belong to Layer 2 of the OSI stack - but I thought it would be good to reiterate it here. In these cases, the AP can function in Standalone Mode - however it has some quirks Luckily, UniFi APs do not strictly require a controller in order to operate. Or perhaps you want to use the AP in a network environment where you are unable to use a controller.
However sometimes you may only have one AP in your network and you do not need all of the fancy features that the controller provides.
#ADD AP TO UNIFI CONTROLLER SOFTWARE#
This controller is either software based (free), or hardware based (UniFi Cloud Key / UniFi Security Gateway / UniFi Dream Machine). This allows us to perform a single change that will be propagated to all of the APs automatically. Generally, UniFi APs will be installed in a configuration where there is a central server (What we would call a “controller”) that manages all of the UniFi APs on the network.
