Article Summary

If you enable the One-Click WiFi service during UID Agent installation, it will be automatically deployed once the UniFi Identity Agent is installed. If the One-Click WiFi service is disabled, you must add and set it up manually.


Requirements


Add One-Click WiFi Service

  1. Sign in to your UniFi Identity Manager (https://[your workspace domain].ui.com/cloud).
  2. Click SETTINGS > UniFi Hosts.
  3. Select a host and click Settings.
  4. Find One-Click WiFi and click Add Service.
  5. When the service is added, click Set Up, and you will see the Set Up a One-Click WiFi page.
  6. Click Continue.

Set Up One-Click WiFi

  1. Configure the WiFi settings. You can click Continue and modify the settings anytime in UniFi Identity Manager > SETTINGS > WiFi.
    1. UniFi Identity WiFi SSID: Enter the name of your One-Click WiFi.
    2. Network: Set up a VLAN network using the following methods:
      • Select an existing network from the drop-down menu.
      • Click New Network and specify the IP/Subnet and DHCP Range to create a new one.
    3. UniFi Identity WiFi Band: UniFi AP currently supports two frequency bands: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. In the near future, we will launch the U6-Enterprise, which will support the upcoming 6 GHz standard and provide the fastest possible WiFi speed. Here's an explanation of the two frequency bands:
      • 2.4 GHz: Delivers slower speeds and is more prone to interference, but can broadcast signals over longer distances due to better penetration through solid objects.
      • 5 GHz: Delivers faster speeds and has less network congestion because there are more available channels. However, some older devices may not be compatible with this band.
    4. Security Protocol: UniFi Identity currently supports WPA-2 Enterprise and WPA-3 Enterprise.
  2. Enable the IoT WiFi and Guest WiFi and configure their settings as needed.
  3. Click Continue > OK.

Set Up UID WiFi on a New Host
