Re: [AFMUG] Unifi Controller questions
Side note to all this, the controller can now schedule config and data backups. The cloud access feature is very nice for remote access too... No holes in firewall to punch, and works behind NAT.

Re: [AFMUG] Unifi Controller questions
As Josh said, the controller going out does not affect the APs. In fact, the controller can be offline for quite some time and won't affect the AP, even if the AP reboots. Upgrading the controller will not cause an outage to the AP's unless automatic upgrades is enabled. I typically disable automatic upgrades and kick them off in maintenance window.

Re: [AFMUG] Unifi Controller questions
The controller going offline shouldn't affect the AP's unless the controller is being used for any authentication/captive portal functionality as far as I know.

[AFMUG] Unifi Controller questions
For those that have used Unifi extensively, I have a couple questions that I can't quite find on the forums. 1. If the controller goes offline, does that have an effect on the AP's is serving? Or do they continue to operate normally? 2a. Will upgrading the controller cause an outage to the AP's? 2b. Will it help if I disable "automatic upgrade" and upgrade the AP's during a maint. window after the controller has been upgrade? Thanks!
