#Unifi controller failed to start password#

In this section, you will see a list of Unifi access points configured and deployed on the controller. You can also add a new floorplan and configure it by either adding an image or by using Google Maps which is ideal for accuracy and placement of your network setup. Search for Unifi AP-AC-Lite, click and drag the icon to a place on our floorplan. It looks just like a blueprint for a house, this lets you design and plan where to place your WiFi device(s).Д«y clicking in вЂњPlace DevicesвЂќ, you are given a list of various Ubiquiti UniFi products to plan and place. ThereвЂ™s also a вЂњFloorplanвЂќ function when you click on вЂњTopologyвЂќ. This allows us to see all of our Ubiquiti UniFi access points connected as well as our wireless clients. On the top left corner we currently have вЂњTopologyвЂќ selected. Right below statistics on the navigation pane is map. The UGS is a router that provides DPI and is also dependant on the controller for configuration and functionality. For this kind of functionality you will need to get a Unifi Security Gateway. Here, you will find a section dedicated to displaying all traffic going in and out of your Ubiquiti devices as well as what kind of traffic is passing through what we refer to as DPI(Deep Packet Inspection). On the left navigation pane, click on statistics. DHCP Timeout/Failure вЂ“ How long it takes before being kicked out for trying to obtain and IP address from the router or server within the LAN network.Block by access control вЂ“ How many times blocked devices on the block list have attempted to connect to the access point.WPA Authentication Timeout/Failure вЂ“ Same as association timeout, but for taking too long trying to authenticate the password.Association Timeout вЂ“ The amount of time it takes for a device to try and connect before being kicked off after a certain amount of time spent trying.These sort of statistics tell you how many times a device has tried to connect to our access point and failed for the following reasons: Just below anomalies we have вЂњAssociation FailuresвЂќ. When an error like this occurs, it is best to change your WiFi passwords to something else for security. This is because some of those devices were previous blocked and are trying to access the access point again. As you can see, I have 3 anomalies in my controller telling me that some of the devices in the network have been rejected. It is also calculated based on WiFi density and whether thereвЂ™s interference nearby from other access points.ДЄnomalies are errors and warning information displayed on the Dashboard. A WiFi score depends on many factors such as whether enough people connected to the WiFi are experiencing a stable connection as well as through the WAN network that the access point has been connected to. At the top where it says вЂњEverything is GoodвЂќ is referred to as an вЂњWiFi experience scoreвЂќ. Here, you can see a list of devices connected, their traffic, and any particular error the system or access point(s) that may have occurred. This is the front page of your Ubiquiti Unifi Controller.

The UniFi series of access points does not support this function due to a major security flaw that allows anyone to gain access to a router with relative ease, therefore bypassing any form of password protection employed on the device. WPS allows for a wireless router to easily connect multiple devices without having to enter an WiFi password.

Ubiquiti UniFi products and WPS(Wi-Fi Protected Setup) compatibility Before we go on ahead, there are a few things that you need to know about the UniFi Controller. The abundance of configuration options available will help give us more flexibility and security to our WiFi network than ever before. Of course thatвЂ™s just barely scratching the surface. In my previous guide, we have gone and bought a Ubiquiti Unifi AP-AC Lite and installed it to our network via the UniFi Controller.
