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.

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.

This video walks through the basics of assigning IPs to devices on an Unifi network. It should be exactly the same whether using a UDM/UDM-Pro or USG for the gateway device.

I was looking forward to the release of Unifi Protect 1.14.19 because rumor had it that by moving the configuration for the NVR to external storage recording events would now survive a hard reset of the UDM-Pro host. Given how things have been going with the UDM-Pro, the result was not surprising.

It’s easy, maybe too easy :), to block a client in Unifi. This is a guide for how to undo that if you’ve gotten block happy.

The Ubiquiti Unifi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro) and Unifi Dream Machine (UDM) build off of the Internet Security features available with Unifi and a USG/USG-PRO-4. This video walks through the features and at where they have been enhanced.

It’s too early to say exactly, but given the length of the “Known Issues” I’m going to speculate that “stable” is only relative to version 1.6.4. Here’s hoping that they can knock a few more of these out, as well as the one that affects me (selfish, IKR).

The ability to run Ubiquiti’s Unifi Protect network video recorder (NVR) on the Unifi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro), is one of the key differences between it and the standard UDM. The process should be relatively straight forward per Ubiquiti’s documentation, but as with most things UDM-Pro, things didn’t quite go to plan… Tech note: https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005898593-UniFi-Protect-How-to-Migrate-from-UniFi-Video-3-to-UniFi-Protect
