Very cool. Thank you for posting this. I am about to install some Unifi equipment pretty soon and video's like yours are very helpful in understanding what I am about to get into.
Thanks so much!!! I have been banging my head for 3 days trying to figure why I couldn't get my captive portal guest network working as it should by giving Internet access and denying access to my local network your video is the first video that I have watched that actually explained what the allowed and restricted IP addresses were for. On my system it was worded pre and post auth and somehow the defaults had been deleted...so internet access worked but they also had access to my local network. Thanks again for helping me put end to a three-day headache!
hi our problem is that on Android phones the promotional url opens for a second and then dissapears.. the redirection page is needed as our company post information on this url. on windows and iphone the promotional url stays open. have any idea ?
So i tried to setup one up for Wireless - selected wireless then select middle to guest link takes me to the guest portal to configure - then i gave it a title to save but when i select a different wireless it shows the same template, unable to make more is this valid?
So you mentioned that if you set up a password under the guest network, and already require one for the SSID, that you'd need to enter both. Is there something simpler other than a password under guest options that my business could use without removing the SSID password? We want it to remain as secure as possible and only have one network right now.
Do you know how to configure the guest WiFi to be password protected(not open) as well as utilize the captive portal with vouchers? We were able to get the vouchers working with the captive portal but we were unsuccessful with password protecting that same network(SSID) before they enter the voucher code.
Is it possible to create a external captive portal where the student to connect has to enter his student ID number? Using a database to validate the info the student entered?
at 2:30 (is possibly) visible answer to your question (and answer is RADEUS) radius is back end server which is usually capable to communicate w/ some kind of database to autentificare users additionally (in your case student ID number) -- companies will use it for there employs i.e. student.
Can you please make video using cambium access point with unifi what will work and what you gonna miss also same with on tp-link omada as i want to use cambium access point but i don't like there cnmaestro... .. i guess it's an idea for video... Thanks in advance...
The concepts are is still the same, but the location to setup the portal is no longer in profiles, and the page layout has changed. Enabling the portal on the Wifi page has also changed.
Hi there, Thanks for the step by step guide, my question: Do you have to have an active internet connection for the Portal page to appear. I have a local server no internet connection, and I want to redirect users to to the server ip upon connection.
I'm trying to setup a captive portal for my vacation rental business. What hardware do I need to set this up? Can I ask / collect email addresses for the authentication type?
Thanks so much for this video.. When I have like 20 access points in the same building and all of them in the same network, how the portal can be centralized so that the access as well as the time limit will run despite of where the guest has moved throughout the building... is that handle by on the of the access points? or do I need a server to manage the access portal?
Is it possible to just have the user redirect to a specific website once connected to wifi, without them having to go through the captive portal? Thanks!
Depends on your network. We created the VLANs to the switch that the AP's were connected to for that job. I don't believe you can actually tag the VLANs without the USG.
can udm offer a user name and password on the captive portal? This way you can restrict the user on different policies and monitor the traffic based on users
One moment, captive portal password doesn't secure packet transmission - no wpa, when You use it's more secure. Correct me if I'm wrong

Great video, very well explained. But, I have a question, can I create multiple hotspots? For example, a restaurant with a terrace, which wants to give restaurant customers a voucher. That the portal on the terrace is one and in the restaurant another. I am thinking of changing equipment that I have working with the Omada platform from TP-Link and this is allowed there, here, I only get a single "Guest Portal"
Hi, just watch this tutorial. Great. I would need to activate the portal but I would 500 simultaneous connexions. I guess I would need to create multiple vlans to get 500 IP's but will the portal handle multiple vlans ?
Just started watching; "wifi type" is not even in the interface (latest version) also switching to legacy interface it does not exist. I have a captive portal setup that does not redirect. Apply guest policies (captive portal, guest authentication, access) is checked.
I did the guest hotspot setup using an open network however, the AP does not broadcast using the wifi6 standard. The encrypted networks still do. It there any explanation for this? Great video BTW!
@@simple_networks Thanks ,I managed it. How make unifi network application Back to default, I made some settings Now I again going back to default. Thx
1. Make open guest network 2. Redirect them to youtube to rickroll 3. throttle that network to something unusable, say 100kilobits up and down 4. Profit.

This video has been so helpful. What Ubiquit equipment do I need to set up WiFi accessible using vouchers. I want the basic stuff.
Set it up exactly as described, but I’m having an certificate error
TYVM for this informative video. I made sure to like it so you get your recognition.

Do we have an idea of dimension to upload unable to find that info.

Yes, it's listed as 'redirect to URL' under 'Success Landing Page' within the hotspot manager. (As of Unifi os 3.2.7)
Is there a way to require guest to put in more information to login like email address and phone number?
Amazing Video! I was wondering if an USG gateway would be required to create the VLANS, or just the AP and the controller would do the job?
Depends on your network. We created the VLANs to the switch that the AP's were connected to for that job. I don't believe you can actually tag the VLANs without the USG.
I like the video, can I capture email addresses like in older versions of UniFi controller?
can udm offer a user name and password on the captive portal? This way you can restrict the user on different policies and monitor the traffic based on users

You would just create a new site so that you can have different guest portal configurations for.
Hi, just watch this tutorial. Great. I would need to activate the portal but I would 500 simultaneous connexions. I guess I would need to create multiple vlans to get 500 IP's but will the portal handle multiple vlans ?
I would stick with one VLAN and just give that VLAN a class B IP range (172.16.0.0)
Great job, how export traffic user log with session and mac adress ?
How to setup Guest voucher from unifi cloud key, one voucher for one device. how i wish to attach my cloudkey interfece
is it a monthly cost to use their software and hardware?
not so keen on that for a home network.
Nope, the only cost is the initial purchase of the hardware. You can also self host a controller yourself on a PC.
Just started watching; "wifi type" is not even in the interface (latest version) also switching to legacy interface it does not exist.
I have a captive portal setup that does not redirect.
Apply guest policies (captive portal, guest authentication, access) is checked.
Big changes in the interface totally different only a year after this video was produced.
Figured it out.
can't users use a vpn to bypass this portal
How to do this for wired clients?
my set up says connecting and cant connect to the network sir,my version is NETWORK 7.5.176 i hope u can help me sir,thank you
hello sir
how to block mobile tethering or in desktop Wi-Fi or USB tethering using pfsense captive portal
Will nanostation Ac5 work
We can ask a email? Intead of facebook accaunt? Or Instagram?
Hi, hope you are ok. Is this available to all unifi devices(access point)? Thanks
As long as you have a unifi controller that is always online, it should work across their range of access points.
I did the guest hotspot setup using an open network however, the AP does not broadcast using the wifi6 standard. The encrypted networks still do. It there any explanation for this? Great video BTW!
From what I understand, the WiFi 6 standard does not support open networks for security reasons.
Great video! How to remove the "powered by unifi" branding logo on the latest update?
Currently not possible.
Where are the logs for activity users?
any way to use a QR code so guest can just scan and have access to the internet for a certain period of time?
Not that I am aware of in terms of out of the box solutions. You could check the UniFi forums as people often come up with some pretty creative stuff.
@@simple_networks yea I'm on there too
You can create QR code voucher unifil,thanks
How much this system cost and does this. Required monthly subscription
There are no subscriptions. The software is free but requires you to either purchase a unifi cloud key or run it on a machine you already have.
Hello, I have a question? How do vouchers work with these Captive Portals for Guest WiFi in UniFi (New UI)?
Are you looking for a general description of what the vouchers do or are you asking how you would setup that feature?
@@simple_networks
Thanks ,I managed it.
How make unifi network application
Back to default, I made some settings
Now I again going back to default.
Thx
I would like to see it work with Facebook
Great video - I'm looking for OTP authentication, please advise
Thanks! For OTP verification (such as through SMS), you will want to look into external captive portal solutions (like ArtOfWifi or MyPlace Connect
No SSL no captiv portal naming. bad
1. Make open guest network
2. Redirect them to youtube to rickroll
3. throttle that network to something unusable, say 100kilobits up and down
4. Profit.
I'm 100% onboard.
