I am thinking of the best option for my friend here. Not having much luck with his Win10 laptop, is there a version of Controller for an iPad? I have looked on my iPad's App Store and I can see UniFi Network. Is this the app he needs, or are there others?

I think I will need a click by click approach....

Cheers!

Well that's the name of it on the Google Play Store. I don't use Apple products. It has become a bit less friendly over time for stand alone devices but still very usable and certainly easier than maintaining the UniFi app on your machine. Just updated the firmware on my UniFi AC-LR for example.

It expects you to connect to a controller, but just click on the account at the bottom (at least on Android), there is no need to log on, then select standalone devices and it searches the network for them.

Looking at it if the access point is not attached to the ceiling you can scan the QR code on the back to do the setup from the app.

Thanks for that.

Sounds good and has given me a few more options.
At least there is no panic rush. Currently awaiting electricity to be connected to the external property, so a case of using extension leads.

There is also the other option of doing a back to factory settings and starting again if we have difficulties with access etc.

Cheers!

You can configure a controller with the apple/google apps, but you can't use a phone/ipad as a controller.

I'm pretty much all-in on ubiquti, it's awesome having perfect wifi coverage anywhere in the house and halfway to the shops lol

You need some sort of controller, be it in the house or outside, be it a cloud key or UDM device or a PC or Raspberry Pi.
