About UniFiGuide
UniFiGuide covers UniFi setup and operation end to end: choosing an access point from U6 Lite to the tri-band 6 GHz models, placement and channel planning, the advanced wireless settings behind roaming and power save, VLAN segmentation for IoT and guest traffic, switch PoE budgets and uplinks, gateway selection and what IDS/IPS costs in throughput, device adoption troubleshooting, firmware update strategy, multi-site and remote management, UniFi Protect cameras and storage, and backup and migration of the Network Application.
It is for homes and small offices where the network has to keep working, and for the people who end up maintaining one without a budget for a consultant. Every figure follows Ubiquiti documentation, datasheets, help-centre articles and release notes, with the source linked so you can check it.
Alongside the guides, the site publishes a UniFi network planner that sizes access-point count, PoE budget and gateway tier from a floor plan. It runs entirely in the browser: nothing you type into it is transmitted or stored. Open the planner.

22 articles are published so far. New articles are announced on the RSS feed; there is no fixed publishing schedule and this site does not promise one.
How these articles are produced
Articles are researched from primary sources: vendor and project documentation, published standards and specifications, release notes, advisories, and measurements published by the people who took them. Drafts are produced with AI assistance and then edited against those same sources before anything is published. Where a figure comes from a datasheet or a third-party measurement, the article names the source and links to it so you can check the original rather than take this site's summary of it.
Everything here is published under the UniFiGuide Editorial byline. That is an editorial desk, not a person, and no article on this site claims hands-on lab testing, benchmarking, or first-hand measurement. Nothing here should be read as a report of something this site physically tested.
Corrections
Getting it right matters more than getting it first. If something on this site is wrong, out of date, or missing the source it should cite, email hello@unifiguide.com with the page and the specific claim. Substantive corrections are made on the page itself rather than quietly dropped.
How this site is funded
This site currently runs no affiliate links, no sponsored content, no paid placement, and no display advertising. Nothing on it earns a commission. If that changes, this page and the disclosure page will say so before any such link appears.
The full position is on the disclosure page. Read it before acting on anything here that reads like a buying recommendation.
