Thanks Cody!! This is such a cool new feature!! This can help with the ssid limit on the APs!!! Thanks again!!

[johnheller]

Hey Cody. Thanks for posting the PPSK information. I've been playing with it this week and it has a heck of a lot of possibilities, both for home use and commercial networking

[hamadico]

Thank you Alta Labs for forcing ubiquiti to push this feature out quickly.

[DIYglenn]

yeah!! I've been waiting for this. Did a reinstall on my Unifi setup yesterday and got this update - but didn't notice that!!

[kevinsanderskk]

Hey, quick questions. Was recently watching your 2023 setup guide. The PPSK seems like a cool feature update, however, when configuring the Guest Wifi, that is the location where speed limit profiles are being applied. When using PPSK, I don't see a way to setup that speed limit on the guest network VLAN. Am I missing something and there is a way to do that?

[dyshuk]

This is pretty awesome but for those who have I guess you'd still need a separate SSID for IoT devices that only support 2.4 Ghz (and turning off 5 radio)

[johntankard]

I have used this recently in early access. I noticed that my u6 pro access points could not get above 300mbps when enabled. When I joined a standard wifi network my speeds were back to 600/680mbps.. I wonder if speed issues have been solved in RC?

[Elandro]

Interesting! There is this new vendor which tries to compete with Unifi. They released their new APs with this PPSK feature a few months ago and people started to get interesting. Unifi now hits back and offers the same feature. Software upgrades are easy to do, no more reason to leave Unifi.

Nice to see new dashboards. Used enough of their router/firewalls previously to put me off them for life.

[LAWRENCESYSTEMS]

Great video and those are some welcome features!

[CRK]

This is very good, especially for apartments. My apartment has used this technology, but it's from different manufacturers.

[RandonBrown]

Awesome. Thanks for demonstrating PPSK. Good stuff.

[JasonsLabVideos]

YES !! NICE! Finally !! Thanks for doing a video on this Cody !

[MCCNN]

Pretty cool, sucks you cant use this with WPA3 though. So basically have to sacrifice security for convenience

[tgreen]

Finally! I've been waiting on either Unifi or Omada to do something like this

[davidwright]

I am trying to digest this. So you make your networks using vlans but when you make wifi networks, you only make one and input the password for whichever vlan network you want to join. Is this correct.? What are the benefits to this setup?

[RobinMoran]

Awesome addition. If there is only 1 SSID, is it possible to control the bandwidth of the individual VLANS? also, does having 1 SSID improve WiFi throughput to a device or is it the same or worse?

[jensjensen]

PPSK is a step in the right direction.

Now, if they would only add the posibility to assign VLAN based on MAC adress – like Meraki does.

The downside to PPSK is the iOS feature to "share passwords". So if I have a private VLAN and a guest VLAN, and a guest connects to the SSID, then your iOS device would share the private VLAN password and not the guest.

[Crombam]

Hey Cody, there is a similar feature under Radius which I use. I will create various users and appoint them to a specific VLAN. This works with one single SSID as well and based on your user credentials you are set for the network indicated. Only one SSID broadcasted.
