Ubiquiti UniFi Protect G4 Doorbell now available, kinda
Don’t tell anyone, but it’s been all over Reddit that the UniFi Protect G4 Doorbell was in EA. Apparently today is the day when it GA’d, because I received an “in-stock” notice, but unfortunately by the time I clicked on it (2 minutes later) it was sold out. Damn! Spec’s are pretty much in-line with a Ring Pro doorbell: dual-band […]

Configuring an IPSec site-to-site VPN between Ubiquiti Unifi gateways (USG/USG-Pro/UDM/UDM-Pro) is relatively straight forward process, but there are couple sticking points that can cause a hang up. This video walks through the setup for a manual VPN, when you can’t use the automatic config.
Read moreUbiquiti UniFi Protect Network Video Recorder (UNVR)
The Ubiquiti UniFi Protect Network Video Recorder (UNVR) fills a massive gap in the Unifi Protect ecosystem because it finally adds storage redundancy to the mix. Unfortunately there are still quite a few limitations with the Protect ecosystem, but if you can live with them, and some flakey initial software quality issues, the UNVR is a solid addition to the […]

Ubiquiti released the 1.7.2 stable firmware for the Unifi Dream Machine (UDM) and Unifi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro) gateway devices over the weekend. There isn’t a massive amount of detail in the release notes around what was improved, but they definitely stealth fixed an pretty major issue for those using SFP+ WAN connections.
Read moreUDM-Pro 1.7.0 DPI Is Crazy Slow
This issue with incredible slowness when deep packet inspection (DPI) is enabled isn’t new to the UDM/UDM-Pro firmware version 1.7.0, I just haven’t had a chance to make this video public until now. Hopefully it’s something that UI will fix, because DPI is a great feature, and it sucks that I can’t enable it.
Read moreUDM/UDM-Pro Firmware 1.7.0 Released: Stable Is Just A Word
Ubiquiti released a new “stable” firmware update for the UDM & UDM-Pro. This is huge news because the UDM hasn’t really gotten the love it deserves, despite being first to market. Undisclosed in the release notes is the ability to restore from a non-default backup, which unfortunately doesn’t go well for me…

This video is a follow on to a previous guide around using RADIUS to enable dynamic VLAN assignment to a Unifi wireless network. Here I demonstrate how to change the RADIUS configuration to assign undefined users to a specific VLAN, so they do not end up on the default/untagged network.

If you have a USG, or USG-Pro, it is possible to use the built-in RADIUS server to dynamically assign a VLAN to wireless (or wired) clients based on the MAC id. While this works, it doesn’t have much flexibility and is difficult to maintain when the number of connecting devices goes up. This guide resolves that issue using freeRADIUS.
