Revision as of 13:07, 4 October 2018
Ubiquiti Unifi is scalable and has a linux controller software, meaning you only need to buy APs and a PC with linux on it (ubuntu recommended) to run the network.
The UAP-Pro can handle 200 concurrent clients and the UAP-LR / LR / UAP-Outdoor can handle 100 simultaneous clients.
The UAP's are very cheap.
There are still some problems apparently though.
Installing the controller on Debian
This needs to run under a desktop environment, so make sure you have one.
echo 'deb http://www.ubnt.com/downloads/unifi/debian stable ubiquiti' | /etc/apt/sources.list.d/100-ubnt-unifi.list wget -O /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/unifi-repo.gpg https://dl.ubnt.com/unifi/unifi-repo.gpg apt update sudo apt install unifi
Then
systemctl enable unifi systemctl start unifi
visit the controller software at http://localhost:8080
You may need to change the ports
Migrating from another controller on another PC
- Make sure both controllers are the same version (ie update them both)
- if necessary upgrade the firmware on the controllers
- make a note of the IP addresses of the APs
- make a backup to an .unf file of the old controller
- If the IP is the same, you can visit the new controller (using the applet or the website) and restore from a previous backup
- if the IP isn't the same, you still restore from a previous backup and then
When I move the controller, I just go into the GUI on existing controller, under SETTINGS, CONTROLLER, and change the Controller Hostname / IP to the NEW IP ADDRESS, (removing unifi.yourdomain.com) and then check the box "Override inform host with controller hostname/IP" Since I have the migrated controller up and running already on the NEW IP ADDRESS, after I shut down the OLD CONTROLER, the new one immediately starts provisioning the WAPS.
