This is enough usually to stymie footage being uploaded, but leaves plenty of headspace for basic comms. Set the Max upload speed in IOT Low Upload to like 400-500kbps. The next thing I did in UniFi is I created two User Groups -> ‘IOT High Upload’ and ‘IOT Low Upload’. See for yourself: leave one on a full speed WiFi network for a few days and check the device stats in UniFi: mine UPLOADED hundreds of megs of data. I HATE the idea that my Amazon Fire Stick remote is recording/uploading audio to the cloud all the time. The weirdo mouth breather who actually drives around wardriving with a Pineapple as a hobby won’t see it either.ħ. Yes it’s an extra step but you have the added benefit that the 12 year old script kiddy kid who lives next door won’t see this network and try cracking it to serve torrents. When you want to add a new IoT device to WiFi, during setup you’ll have to type in the name of your hidden WiFi network (AKA SSID). You now have a WiFi network that isn’t being broadcast (more secure), is in its own VLAN, you can also connect wired IOT devices to it (just set the switch port you’re plugging the device into to VLAN 80), and Unifi’s excellent control system by default will create a total Chinese wall to the rest of your network.Ħ. Plus, in the event someone actually did hack the SSID and password, you would see the new client in the UniFi dashboard client list.ĥ. You don’t need a 128-char hash password for a non-broadcast WiFi network that is totally firewalled. Set a password on it that’s relatively short but characters/numbers. Use VLAN 80 from above, set it as a Guest type of network and where it says Hide SSID, turn that ON. Make sure this new Network is set as a Guest network.Ĥ. Set an address range 10.1.80.1/24, turn on DHCP server.ģ. In UniFi, create a Network called ‘IoT’ or ‘Cloud Devices’ (or similar). If you buy items from Ubiquiti’s other product lines (like an EdgeRouter instead of the UniFi USG) they don’t work together automatically with one seamless app. Buy ALL UniFi -> USG firewall, Unifi switches, AP’s and cloud key. I just installed a full stack of UniFi at my house and my day job involves network engineering.ġ.
