I have a uap-pro and need controller software to access it. Were can I find this software or find out how to be able to keep using this outdated device. Thanks Ron
https://www.ui.com/download/unifi/unifi-ap/uappro view past software. You should see past revisions of the controller software. Since the item is EOL it will no longer be updated with newer firmware and you should consider a newer product.
Thanks! After a Google search I came to your site and this article was exactly what I was looking for 🙂
