\"How<\/div>\n


Installing UniFi Access Points (APs) without a controller involves adopting a standalone UniFi AP and configuring it through the UniFi app or web interface. Here’s a step-by-step guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> This guide assumes you have a basic understanding of networking concepts and have already physically installed the UniFi AP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Connect to UniFi AP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Connect the UniFi AP to your network using an Ethernet cable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Power on the UniFi AP using the provided power source or Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Step 2: Find UniFi AP IP Address<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Check your router’s DHCP lease table or use a network scanning tool to find the IP address assigned to the UniFi AP.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Step 3: Access UniFi AP Web Interface<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Open a web browser and enter the UniFi AP’s IP address in the address bar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. The default username is ubnt<\/code>, and the default password is ubnt<\/code>. Enter these credentials to log in.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Step 4: Configure UniFi AP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Once logged in, go to the “Settings” tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Under the “Wireless Networks” section, configure your wireless network settings, including SSID and security options.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Step 5: Save Changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. After configuring the wireless network, click on the “Apply Changes” button to save your settings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Step 6: Test Wireless Connectivity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            1. Disconnect the UniFi AP from the network temporarily to test its standalone functionality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Reconnect to the UniFi AP’s wireless network using a Wi-Fi-enabled device to ensure it’s broadcasting the configured SSID and providing internet access.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Step 7: Optional – Static IP Assignment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              1. For a more stable setup, consider assigning a static IP address to the UniFi AP. This is typically done in your router’s DHCP settings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                Step 8: Document Settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. Record the IP address and configuration settings for future reference.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  Notes:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • Without a UniFi controller, some advanced features such as centralized management and statistical analysis will be unavailable. However, basic wireless functionality will still work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • If you plan to expand your UniFi network in the future, consider setting up a UniFi controller to manage multiple APs from a centralized interface.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
