iOS - Unifi connectivity issues

Firmware can update on it's own outside of the controller version being updated.
If the Controller is set to auto upgrade UAPs, that could explain why this happened considering you haven't updated the firmware on your own.
Thanks, I'll have to check that out.

Discovered the APs aren't running the most up to date software, if it had updated. 'Upgrade' button is missing on the controller, for each AP. Guessing I'll have to get the controller software updated first.

Always the best thing to do.
Upgraded mine tonight. UniFi 5.6.29 is current and the firmware on my UAPs is 3.9.19.8123 now.

I'm curious, had you noticed the same thing prior to the upgrade? Where an upgrade button for the APs was missing, but upgrading the controller made the AP upgrade button available?

Upgrading the controller will force it to get new firmware as part of that process.
Outside of upgrading the controller, it should periodically download new firmware.
Or you cac manually tell it to in the settings.

I woudl assume that if your controller is too far out of date that it may not get new firmware due to changes, but I have no idea on that. Never tried.

It's not insanely far out. I thought 5.5.x was older than it actually was. Looks like our version was released late October. Definitely needs to be upgraded though. Scheduled maintenance windows is set for tomorrow night, so hopefully that solves a couple mysteries.

what firmware version do your UAPs have now?

Not sure off the top of my head. I looked earlier though; they are 1 or 2 minor releases behind.

Assuming you haven't updated the controller software yet, look it up and post if you remember.

Guess this is first in the list of morning jobs

So far no issues on my iOS devices so I would check the upgrade. I am on 5.6.29 now.

My UAPs were on 3.9.19.8011 last week with no issues. I just upgraded them to 3.9.19.8123 this morning.

Ouch.. that is kinda old. might be worth a search to see if iDevices have a known issue with that firmware or curiosity sake.

I had been searching online for a couple days. Nothing glaring on any forums that I had looked through.

https://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Wireless/iOS-11-and-connection-troubles/td-p/2079248I hadn't saw the first one since it's on a different version (I had only looked for the version they are on), but definitely still relevant. The second article is right on.
I'm surprised they hadn't had issues sooner. The version is from October, and that article is during that time. Looks like the version immediately started showing signs of issue. They went about 3 months without any signs. Who actually knows when the APs upgraded though. Maintenance window is tonight and weekly scheduled visit is tomorrow. Everything will be up to date soon enough.

Got the controller up to date now. EOL notice for UAP-AC-V2 popped up for both APs, as expected. Upgrade button still absent. Digging further shows there is no firmware update available for this old of a device. That's what I love to see. Time for an upgrade.

Of course it was inevitable, but first time I've seen their stuff go EOL.
