Pfsense with Unifi APs Problem
-
@beaujofire
hi
there are a lot of issues with actual unifi firmwares, regarding vlan tagged ssids and multicast and streaming protocols.what kind of unifi ap are you using? if these are not AP6 onces, try unifi firmware 4.0.80 or 4.2.28 instead 5.x
-
@tohil Thank you for the reply. I am currently using UAP-AC-Pro for all four locations. They currently are on FW 5.43.46. So your thinking that rolling back the FW to 4.xx might help?
-
@beaujofire try it
I am using ap ac pro as well and stucked on 4.0.80. Latest release without pita all around.....
-
@tohil hmmmm, I'll try rolling them back and shutting off auto updates.
-
@beaujofire yes disable Auto optimize and pmf on upper menu right in all ssid overview
-
@Beaujofire Problem solved?
-
Thank you all for the assistance with this! Yes, turning off the PMF and the Optimize did the trick. Plus I removed the Ip addressing from the unifi switches and just had the PFsense DHCP do all the addressing. Now it works like I expected.
Thank you again
-
@beaujofire nice!!! had you also to downgrade the AP Firmware or not?
-
There should be no need to downgrade the firmware - I am running 5.71.1.13253 and not having any such issues.
Their optimize is stupid nonsense to run that - but PMF works fine - just have it set to optional on wpa2/wpa3 ssids where iot devices connect. I have multiple sticks, logs of iot devices, phones, tablets laptops and have not seen any issues at all.. On my normally wifi where phones and tablets, etc. connected I have PMF set to required and not seeing any issues.

Yep I got it up and running and did not downgrade the FW. It turned out to be the unifi switches had the Vlans and the IP addressing still entered. So I removed the IP addressing out of the unifi switches and let the pfsense box do the address through its Vlan DHCP servers and all is good..
Thank you for the response.
