This is one of the reasons I flashed OpenWRT to my U6 Lite.
- Daviey 3y agoDo you manage it by config file or some webui tooling?
- ig0r0 3y agoI set it up once using the built-in WebUI, forgot about it and it just works. That is part of the beauty, no need for anything like Unifi controller running when you need to make some changes.
- angryasian 3y agowhich router / switches are you using it with ?
- ig0r0 3y agoI use an EdgeRouterX. It is also made by Ubiquiti but the Edge series is quite different from Unifi, seems more to be targeted at maybe ISPs, it has a built-in management UI and does not require (or work with) a Unifi controller. I also use a Zyxel switch with PoE to power the U6 Lite. I think the main point is that it should not and does not matter what you use. You can mix and match anything you want if those devices work on their own and do not require any central management. I do not need or want some Unifi controller and being able to look at data about my devices and being locked into their products, I just want devices that want that I configure once and forget about them.
