Unifi Complete Network Setup
Welcome to the 1+ hour walkthrough of setting up a Unifi network start to finish. I hope you have some spare time, because this is going to take a while. If you are already familiar with a lot of this setup, use the timestamps below to browse to specific topics.
In this video, I go over how to setup a complete network using a Unifi Security Gateway, (concepts apply to the Dream Machine as well) Unifi 60W switch, Unifi Flex Mini, and Unifi AP Pro. I’ll go over how to get everything setup from scratch as well as how to tune everything for use with a typical home network with VLANs.
We will setup two separate VLANs (IoT and Guest) and create firewall rules to separate them from the rest of the network. We will broadcast one of these using the wireless AP to show how to get multiple SSIDs setup and configure the USG and USW for VLAN tagging.
