Ubiquiti AC Pro with guest wifi
-
Thinking about upgrading my current Wifi router as I need more coverage. I also want to set up a guest Wifi with captive portal and was thinking of using the Ubiquiti software to configure this over pfsense. Does anyone here have any experience with these and can provide some guidance as to if this is a god solution? Also any gotcha's I should know about?
Thanks,
Andy

It's dead easy :-

Don't tick the Guest Policy if you want to use pfsense as the captive portal :-

I did this as well.
As NogBadTheBad said, don't use the Ubiquiti CP if you plan to use PfSense CP, they will conflict and you'll get no answer from the CP.

Awesome! Thanks to you both!

Just wanted to add I have similar setup for my guest network , the only difference is pfsense is my wan edge device… I have 2 networks on lan , one hosting my home network wifi and lives in meraki world the other is for guest and is in ubiquity world.. I also have usg since I want to test out the low to no functioning usg for a beautiful all in web Interface... do let me know if u have further questions as I have spend enough time on topology and setup and will try and answer ur questions if any
