Chapter 12: UniFi Access Point Details
Access Point - Isolated/Disconnected
When an AP is in an Isolated or Disconnected state, you can
re-establish a connection to the UniFi Controller software
using one of three methods:
• Reconnect the AP to the gateway/router.
• Connect an Ethernet cable from the Secondary Ethernet
Port (if available) of the isolated AP to the Secondary
Ethernet Port (if available) of another UniFi AP that is
connected to the gateway/router.
• Establish a wireless uplink to a wired AP. See “Wireless
Uplinks” on page 73 to find, select, and connect to a
wired AP.
In an Isolated or Disconnected state, the Map tab displays
the AP icon with a red/orange LED and disconnected
icon.
The LED on the actual device will be steady green or blue
with occasional flashing. This AP doesn’t provide any
wireless service.
Note: Do not use the Forget this AP option when the
AP is in an Isolated or Disconnected state. If you do,
then the only way to make the AP accessible from
the UniFi Controller is to take it down and connect it
by wire.
Access Point - Managed by Other
The Managed by Other state indicates that the AP is not
in the default state but it is not controlled by the UniFi
Controller.
