I have a Ubiquiti Networks Unifi 802.11ac Dual-Radio PRO Access Point (UAP-AC-PRO-US) connected in the middle of my house. Last Summer I bought a second one and connected it outside in my backyard under the eves in a protected location. It just connected automatically...nothing to installing it. These two Unifis are plugged in to the LAN and were working fine.I just bought a Third one to mount in my attic over the garage to cover the front of the yard and my garage. My intention is to use it like an wireless extender but first I needed to adopt it .
I started up Unifi Network and saw my existing two UAPs GREEN connected. I was informed there was a new version to install so I did that. When it finished installing I closed Unifi Network. I then plugged the new UAP into LAN and power using the power block. I started up UNIFI again. Unlike my previous experience the new Unifi wasn't automatically adopted. I can see all three of the UAPs. The oldest one is GREEN, the second UAP is now showing as RED Disconnected and the new UAP is showing as needs adoption. I manually performed the adoption. Now I had the first UAP and the new UAP showing GREEN connected. I still showed the RED Disconnected on the second one. The second UAP was showing GREEN prior to starting all this. I checked my connections to power and the LAN on the second UAP which was reporting RED disconnected. The power bar blue LED was illuminated. The LAN was plugged in. Outside the Blue ring was illuminated. So it was connected. Next I unplugged the power bar from the LAN and the POE and pulled the plug. I let it sit for 10 minutes and plugged it back in. The Blue Power LED and Ring LED illuminated. But when I looked at Unifi but it was still RED disconnected. I then did a LAN IP scan. The new UAP and the First UAP IP numbers were there but NOT the second UAP showing RED Disconnected so it really wasn't online. Finally I unplugged all three of them. I turned on the First One and was informed there was a BIOS update so I did that. When it finished I plugged in the the second and third UAPs. But the second one is still RED disconnected. Then I plugged the third UAP back in. Now that one is RED disconnected. Only my orignal UAP is green and connected. All Three UAPs Power LED and Ring LED are bright blue. I did a system drive image backup last night so I could just restore that and hook things back as there were but they may not work either now that there has been a BIOS upgrade. Maybe I am not understanding what "connected" means. So How do I get these connected and sorted. Thanks
