> it wanted me to create a "local administrator account" after i opted out of an online account What alternative would you prefer? Anyone on the network can configure it? Just a password with no username? > I still have an old version of their admin app on an old computer and that one just finds the AP and lets me configure it. So if they could do it 10 years ago they could do it now too, should they wish to. The answer to security issues is... worse security? > and then it didn't find my old unifi ap that is working just fine thank you. You need to release the device from your old Unifi deployment, or factory reset the device. You don't want anyone on your network to be able to adopt your devices and seize control of your network.

> What alternative would you prefer? Anyone on the network can configure it? Just a password with no username? How about having access control tied to the actual AP instead of a particular installation of the controller app, so I can admin it remotely from any machine that is available instead of just one? Also, you conveniently ignored the spurious threats telling me i'm incompetent and i will get hacked without a unifi cloud account. I had to check 4 checkboxes agreeing to 4 different predictions of doom if i admin locally. Pray tell, how do you configure a cloud linked device if there is no internet?
