By far, the most comprehensive and easiest (All-in-one) setup guide I ever seen. Good job, liked and subbed! 👏

50:28 if you use vlans for example iot, then just set also to 'block all' in tagged vlan. Because when someone clone the mac address of any device of default network it can be accessed by this port as you did not block other traffic -security risk

38:52 the Wifi Schedule is for times you want to PAUSE the WiFi, not enable it. Your example basically stops the guest wifi from working during business hours 7am to 6pm.

Hi Bogdan, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Thanks to you, my network is now working great.

Hi. It is a very useful instruction.
But could you film an instruction further regarding VLAN - Security (surveillance cameras, sensors...) with setting the rules for the firewall, for this network to be secured?

[Nimitz_oceo]

I’m not sure if you mentioned or if i missed it, you didn’t talk about inter-VLAN routing, is it enabled by default or do you have to enable it manually.

[sberga]

Many thanks! You let me understand a lot of things that before was not so clear.

[caliber]

Awesome video. Would love to see a followup on the advanced firewall setup tips.

[Lettere]

The very first thing I always do after creating my VLANs is to block traffic between VLANs: by default, Unifi Network allows traffic to pass between VLANs (except for Guest VLAN) which is imho very dangerous from a security perspective.

[prospermaseko]

Hie, thanks for this informative video.

Keep it up

[jasonmc]

Would you be able to share the network devices and IP schemas?

[adrienpatenotre]

Very useful thank you ! It would be interesting to see how to deploy a hotspot with SSL, as I don't find any complete, up-to-date documentation on the matter (I tried with a Unifi Express)

[illingworth]

Great Video... I never considered 10.1.*.* for the networks. Way easier to manage. Can you change them all after inittially setting them up and if so do you re configure all together in one go or do them one by one ?

[FelixRosario-sk]

I'm very interested in what the VoIP profile was. Didn't see in the video. Great Video!!!

15:31 timestamp, I updated the name from "default" to "Management." First, I navigated to Settings (gear icon) > System > Advanced > Interface and switched to "Legacy." In the Legacy UI, I went to "Networks, " edited the default name to "Management, " and saved the changes. Then, I returned to the new user interface by selecting User Interface > New User Interface.

can you do a video where you use a windows server as the AD, DHCP, DNS and still use the UDMSE as your core network.

[robflate]

Any reason you're not using Private Pre-Shared Keys seeing as though you're not using the 6GHz band?

[JhonRestrepo-tx]

what should I do if I want a vLan for example "The main network" to enter the "Security" Vlan but the "Security" vLan cannot enter "The main network" Vlan

[sundarikomputer]

How do you ensure the sound effects match the visuals so well?

[tombshara]

what network design tool are you using?
