To create a wireless bridge you simply need to follow the steps described above to create a wireless uplink connection. This way you can create a wireless connection to your garage in your garden and connect an Unifi Switch and camera on the downlink access point. The Wireless Uplink function on the Unifi access points can be used to create a wireless bridge. When it’s online you should see that it’s connected to your Uplink access point: Wireless Uplink Creating an Unifi Wireless Bridge You might also see briefly the status Isolated. It can take a couple of minutes until the access point reappears Online in the network console.
Place the access point within range of the uplink access point and powered it on with only a PoE Adapter. With the Unifi Wireless Uplink configured you can now disconnect your access point from the switch. Unifi Downlink Access Point Step 4 – Place your Downlink Access Point

It’s better to use the manual mode, so we can control how the access points are connected. Meshing is most of the time enabled by default and set to Auto. Step 2 – Enable Meshing on the Uplink Access Point However, it’s also possible to wirelessly adopt the access point (more about that later). The fastest way to do this is to connect the access point with a wire to the switch. The first step is to adopt the new access point in the Unifi network. Use channels 1,6 or 11 for 2.4GHz and 36 or 44 for 5Ghz. The downlink access point can be set to auto, but the uplink access point should have a fixed channel. Make sure that you have configured static channels on your wired access points.
Downlink is the access point that is wirelessly connected to the uplink (wired) access point. During the set up we will talk about the downlink and the uplink access point. We are going to start with a simple setup, connecting a single Unifi access point wireless to another. To create a wireless uplink you will need to have at least one connected and configured Unifi access point within range of the new access point. The UAP-AC and UAP-AC-Outdoor do not support wireless uplink at all. The only difference with the older models is that they don’t support multi-hop (mesh network): You can create a wireless uplink with pretty much all the latest Unifi Access Point and also some of the older models. Also, make sure that the firmware on your access points is up to date and that all access points are running on the same firmware version. Wireless Uplink Requirementsīefore we start it’s important that you are running one of the latest Unifi Network versions.

In this article, I will explain how to set up an Unifi wireless uplink connection, take a look at multi-hob uplinks and explain the difference between mesh and uplink. However, when that is not possible, we can create a wireless uplink with pretty much any Unifi access point. Because it will give the best performance for your wireless devices and it’s easier to maintain. Keep in mind that a wired connection is always preferred. This way you only need to have power for the access point. With a wireless uplink, you connect the access point wireless to another access point. In these cases, you can create an Unifi Wireless Uplink connection. When you want to extend your wireless network you don’t always have to option to connect every access point wired to your switch.
