Login to your controller and you should see your new UniFi device being adopted and provisioned. Ill be migrating this to a laptop running Kubuntu 18.04, which already has the software installed and ready.
This is a fairly simple matter using these steps at a high-level: Upgrade your current controller to at least something relatively current (to avoid configuration import issues). Once you’re in there, you are going to type in the following command into the shell: set-inform This will tell your access point to provision with the new UniFi controller. Hi All, I am currently in the process of offloading stuff Im running on an old Windows box, one of which is the Unifi Controller. If you already have a UniFi controller running, you’re going to want to migrate your data from that controller. In most cases the default user/pass combination is either ubnt/ubnt or root/ubnt. Make note of your device’s MAC address and locate it in your router’s DHCP host list.įrom here, you can use an SSH client such as Putty or if on Linux the ssh command to access your UniFi access point. If your access point is using DHCP, you will need to find the new IP address assigned to the UniFi device, unless it is the same or assigned through DHCP reservation. Typically located right next to the ethernet port is a hole that you can press and hold with a thin needle or paperclip to reset the device. The controller assigns a random SSH password to make it impossible for anybody to login.įor this, you will need to factory reset your UniFi access point. The most common being when you have a device at one site that is no longer needed and you can make use of it at another site. There are of course many reasons why you may want to do this.
The problem is once you’ve adopted and provisioned an UniFi access point to a controller, you won’t be able to SSH into it. In this short guide I will cover how to move a Ubiquiti Unifi device from one site to another site on your controller. Here’s how you can do just that whether you have one at home or 10 in the workplace. Sometimes we are unable to do that and need to go into our UniFi access points directly to reprovision them ourselves. It comes with one downside, you will have 2 sites in the new controller, the default site (which will be empty) and your migrated site. At some point, we need to move our UniFi devices to a new location or server. This is the easiest method to migrate your Unifi network to a new controller.
