I upgraded from a USG & a Cloudkey Gen 2 to a Dream Machine Pro. After the migration I ran in to a problem that my APs were not being adopted. I ended up resetting my access points. I also had a problem removing the existing APs. I had to use the Ubiquit App on my phone to remove them. Still the UDM Pro was not adopting my APs after I reset them. Once I restarted the UDM Pro, the APs were adopted. I wonder if my original issue of the UDM-Pro not adopting the APs might have been resolved by restarting the UDM-Pro after the migration. So, if you run into a problem that your APs are not being adopted after the migration, restart the UDM-Pro a few times.
These were the steps I went through
- First, update the new Ubiquiti router to the newest OS, Console, firmware, etc. Do this by connecting the new router’s WAN port to your network, connect a compute to the new router. Open a browser and go to 192.168.1.1, and set it up WITHOUT a cloud account.
- After it is setup, now go to this address 192.168.1.1/network/default/settings/control-panel and install and upgrade everything you need. I had a problem updating the OS so I used the LDC panel on the UDM-Pro to update.
- Once everything is updated reset the router to factory. I did this by inserting a paper clip in the reset hole in front of the UDM-Pro for 10 seconds. The LCD will show it is restarting.
- Setting up new router.
Disconnect your old router and the Cloud Key if you are using one. - connect your new router to your modem.
- Don’t connect all your equipment yet to the new router. Connect one computer to the new router
- Open the browser again and go to 192.168.1.1.
- On the 1st screen at the bottom click “Restore From Backup”
- Log in to your online account.
- It will show available backup to choose from, choose one
- Click next and restore will start
- After your new router has restored from backup, you connect your LAN to it.
- Your site manager will show the new and old Sites. You can delete the old one when you are ready.
