Complete UniFi Setup Guide (Dream machines for beginners)

[@rawj1213]

Awesome tutorial man! Please definitely make a tutorial on how to properly set up an IoT & Guest Network! Would be super helpful! If you can explain how to set them up so that people on the guest network can still let's say Chrome cast to like a TV and things like washer and dryers can still send info to a phone on the main network that would dope!

The ease with which a basic VLAN can be configured is impressive. I'm planning a network for my new house, and I'm giving serious consideration to UniFi - basically because of the ease with which it integrates as well as the quality of say, the cameras. More tutorial videos please!!

Videos on the settings for a Synology to play nice with the firewall settings between the two would be great. Since you can do VPN on NAS and/or UDM, Port forwarding for some items like quickconnect and understanding how to set these up properly for remote connection and interplay would help a lot. Also thanks for putting out good quality content, your videos are easy to follow and help me wrap my head around what's going on in each area vs others I have tried watching.

Would love to see a in depth video guide on setting up wireguard vpn firewall rules. Great turorials!

[@mikemcdonald5147]

I just bought the dream machine se never owned a ubiquiti anything so this is all new to me. Hope this helps. Thanks so much.

Video tips: The ability to record surveillance footage or snap photos and save on the Synology. With the above, have an event for it when the RING alarm triggers. Or When motion is detected at specific times

Make a video with the Dream Machine and a non Unifi switch. Show how it looks in the diagram with endpoints connected to the switch. Additionally walk through setting up a vlan using the non Unifi switch. Thanks!

[@Ex_impius]

Setting up the vlans are the same. Just use the vlan tags on the ports.

[@mircea8342]

@@Ex_impius Is same but not. Only same is terms. In unifi is like next, nect, finish. In mikrotik for exemple is pain in ass. So if configure vlan on unifi it doosent means you are able to cofig vlan on other vendors

[@LeeBoris974]

FYI, your screen screenshot of the switch was of the non-POE version which is cheaper than the one you are using. That might cause some confusion for people.

[@AIInsightsskill]

This video is so good

[@Polkster13]

Would love for you to go over all of the VPN options and when you would use which for different scenarios along with why you would want to use one over the other.

[@sanguineel]

Fantastic video. Question: Is placing the honeypot outside of the DHCP range needed? If the UniFi device creates a DHCP reservation then it is not necessary.

[@willidriver]

Is there also a tutorial for ipv6, since that is more the future as I’ve understood.

[@paulweaver7426]

The device from the Unifi Store for 279 is the standard 16 port. The POE version is 379. I was confused for a minute there.

Mulțumim!

Thanks!

In most cases, 0-255. 10.0.0.0/24 and 10.255.255.0/24 are valid IP subnets, but some manufacturers won't allow it. Of course, if you are using a different subnet mask, the valid digits may change.

[@SpaceRexWill]

I was mostly adding out the 10.0.0.0 subnet, because it’s a common default

[@christianjamesserrano]

Hey, man! Any chance you're working on a review of Asustor's full NVME desktop NAS? Would love to hear your thoughts on it and NVME NASs in general.

[@Peter-ww8pg]

Thanks Will, great tutorial. Hope you don’t mind me asking the brand of your cool keyboard holder? Thanks.

Wireguard is not secure in the sense that the credentials and the config can be copied and taken from windows and mac clients very easily

[@bmorestance]

I have a question, a little off topic... I broke my phone which was used for MFA with my Unifi Owner Admin acct. I did not have a backup or secondary method to login (no email or sms). I had to create a new admin acct, however no longer Owner Admin. Can you think of anyway I can hack this system to allow me to turn off MFA or somehow get around the MFA so I can access my super user acct? Instead of resetting/formatting the entire system... Fyi thats what unifi support says.

[@ASnowyChannel]

You will have to reformat the system like Unifi Support recommends. On the next go around back up your 2FA keys

[@bmorestance]

@@ASnowyChannel Darn. Ok thanks

Thank you Reksio.
