Introducing the UniFi mobile application. Use the UniFi app to:
- Access the UniFi Controller to manage entire networks of devices while on the go.
- Provision a UniFi Access Point (AP) for basic functionality without configuring a UniFi Controller.
Requirement:
The UniFi AP must be physically connected via an Ethernet cable to a network that provides IP addresses using DHCP.
How To:
1. Ensure that the UniFi AP is in its factory default state, displaying a solidly white LED.
2. Log into your Ubiquiti community or SSO (Single Sign-On) account for backup/restore functionality. (If you wish, you can skip this login.)
3. The UniFi AP should appear on the device list if your device Wi-Fi is enabled and both your device and UniFi AP are on the same layer-2 network. (This is similar to the device discovery feature for other Ubiquiti products.)
4. If your device Wi-Fi is not enabled (or your device is on another subnet), then select scan QR code from the menu. Note: This is available only for models with the QR code sticker.

How to play safe?
Make sure you always make a backup before any updates, especially if you plan to upgrade your existing installation.
Using a release other than the one mentioned?
If you prefer to upgrade the firmware but still wish to continue using the controller version you were previously on, make sure to create a backup of your controller prior to upgrading. Then upgrade the firmware, purge unifi, install the previous version using the .deb file, then restore your controller backup during the setup wizard. This method will avoid the need to downgrade your controller, which isn't supported.
Notes:
All system customizations are removed on firmware upgrade. This would include the UniFi VoIP controller, if you have it installed. Please make sure to backup your VoIP controller configuration, and any other customizations prior to firmware upgrade.

This would be below RM100, which is more than 40% below the existing 30Mbps package.Acting group CEO Datuk Bazlan Osman said on Tuesday that TM would also have unifi “turbo” plans offering more than double the speed.He said there would be a special package upgrade for pre-unifi (formerly known as Streamyx) customers in unifi areas nationwide.There would also be a re-launch of “unlimited” unifi mobile postpaid plan.Bazlan said the introduction of its new broadband and mobile plans to boost its market leadership position and deliver on the national broadband aspiration with respect to price, speed and coverage.1. A new affordable entry level unifi package at 30Mbps for targeted B40 segment. Lower income groups can access high-speed broadband through this package at a price point below RM100 (more than 40% lower price from the existing 30Mbps package). Registration for pre-booking starts 15 July 2018 via unifi.com.my.2. unifi ‘turbo’ plans offering more than double the current broadband speed. TM will gradually upgrade the speed for all its existing unifi customers at more than double the speed at no extra cost starting 15 August 2018, while new customers subscribing to existing unifi plans before 31 December 2018 will also be upgraded accordingly in 2019.3. Special package upgrade for pre-unifi (formerly known as Streamyx) customers in unifi areas nationwide. Eligibility status check will be available via unifi.com.my from 15 July 2018.Note: All above are subject to technical availability in customers’ areas and terms & conditions.4. A re-launch of its ‘unlimited’ unifi Mobile postpaid plan, which gives customers unlimited data, calls and messaging. This serves as a convergence offering exclusive to existing broadband customers and will be available at all unifi outlets and unifi.com.my from 15 July 2018.Bazlan said as Malaysia’s convergence champion, “we believe that internet access is a critical enabler to grow our digital and creative economy towards making life and business easier for all”.Curently, TM serves nearly two million broadband homes, more than 8 million individuals and connect more than 10 million devices nationwide.He said the plans were to meet Malaysians' demand for faster internet connection at affordable prices, which has been its aspiration since the launch of unifi in 2010.In October 2016, it announced its Broadband Improvement Plan (BIP), with speed increase upgrades of up to 100Mbps at the same price and completed the exercise in 2017 to benefit close to one million broadband customers nationwide, including 323,000 pre-unifi customers.“Currently, we have started contacting our pre-unifi customers in unifi areas for an upgrade to unifi plans.“For others not in unifi areas, we will continuously invest in our network to provide at least our 30Mbps entry level unifi package through the latest fixed and wireless broadband technologies.“Collectively, these new Broadband plans will catapult Malaysia beyond a majority of our regional peers into a competitive set of countries globally with high-speed broadband,” he added.
I can walk up and down the steps and into every room in the house and even out to the front or back porch and my ipad never has any glitches or slowdowns or pauses. That was absolutely not true with the WiFi router that came from my DSL provider. I exercise by walking around the house with my ipad. I include the staircase on our old house and other, lesser routers won't keep up with you the way the Ubiquiti does. I have usable signal on the front porch and back porch and nearly to the barn. I even have signal in the basement, two floors down from the device.
Setup is easy and tons of people on the internet have helpful web pages on how to do it.
It only seemed expensive when I debated buying it. Now that I have it in service and it does exactly what I bought it to do, it seems like money very well spent. Definitely worth the money. When I put WiFi in the barn, it will be Ubiquiti gear that goes in.
Some WiFi devices have weaker radios than others. They will be able to "hear" the Ubiquiti, but lack the guts to talk back loud enough for it to hear them. My ipad lets me roam freely. My iphone, with less battery and perhaps less radio output on WiFi, cannot go quite as far. I can go up and down the stairs with the iphone - a very noticeable improvement - but not out on the porches. The laptops love the Ubiquiti, gaming is now enabled in every room of the house.
