Use the Unifi phone app to manage them. You can manage the APs themselves without logging into anything. I’d recommend updating the firmware after 8 years, you can always do a hard reset to get the original back.
- SparkyMcUnicorn 3y agoHard reset will not automatically downgrade the firmware. And I don't think it's a good idea to manage multiple APs using the app instead of from the controller. Managing a single AP from the app is ok, but I think you'll run into problems when you have multiple in a network.
- aaronax 3y agoIt is unlikely that a home user has network functions in use that rely on the controller.
- SparkyMcUnicorn 3y agoMy point still stands for multiple APs. For example, you can't set up meshing from the mobile app. Best you can do is give them all the same SSID/password, and they also have to be wired in that scenario.
- TheNewsIsHere 3y agoHard agree. Especially if you have something like the UDM/UDM-P and are managing VLAN-specific SSIDs and so forth.
- wil421 3y agoOP didn’t ask about managing from the controller. I prefer the controller and use it myself. Some of my family members do not want a controller and use the Unifi APs I suggest.
