UAP-AC and UAP-AC-Outdoor do not support wireless uplink or multi-hop. The following older generation UAPs do support wireless uplink on the band they operate on and do not support multi-hop: UAP, UAP-LR, UAP-PRO, UAP-Outdoor, UAP-Outdoor+, UAP-Outdoor5, UAP-IW. Some older UAPs only broadcast on a single band (2.4GHz) and will not work the same as newer models. Yes, you just need to make sure to configure them correctly. Keep in mind that each wireless uplink will suffer service degradation, so this should only be done when necessary. This is known as a multi-hop wireless uplink and is supported by UniFi, as long as there is one wired access point to provide the first “hop”. Use the Priority dropdown menus to select from the available uplinks.Ĭan a wireless UAP be the uplink to another wireless UAP? Select which UAP your wireless UAP will connect to (uplink).Īdditionally, you can stipulate the uplink priority to define to which uplink your UAP will connect to if there is service degradation or if its current uplink goes offline.If the Enable Meshing option is not turned on, do so now to expose the wireless uplink settings.
Go to the RF tab and select Manual under the Enable Meshing toggle.Select the UAP from the UniFi Devices section to open its properties panel.You can design the topology to your liking by configuring how the wirelessly connected UAPs are linked. Modifying existing wireless uplink connections Note: The wireless adoption process takes longer than the wired one expect to wait a little longer for access point detection and for the adoption process to complete. (Recommended) Newest firmware and Network application versions.A power source (i.e PoE injector) for the wireless UAP (downlink UAP).
Update to the current firmware version if an upgrade is available.Ĥ. If it still won’t appear while connected, please see our general adoption troubleshooting steps.ģ. Connect it via Ethernet cable to your network and wait for it to appear for adoption. Verify that the UAP is powering properly and is ready for adoption (steady white LED).Ģ. Wireless UAP does not appear for adoptionġ. Modifying existing wireless uplink connections.When within range of your already-adopted access points, simply connect a new access point to power and it will appear as ready for adoption in the Network application. This allows you to extend your coverage without adding cabling in hard-to-reach areas. You can wirelessly adopt access points to your UniFi Network.
