UniFi router support

Network Weather works with UniFi routers. Integration level: Deep.

What you'll see

Network Weather automatically identifies your UniFi router and shows you the model name. That's about all you get before logging in, since UniFi routers are relatively locked down by default.

Note: Most home routers share some basic network data automatically through a feature called UPnP, but UniFi has this turned off out of the box. If you'd like Network Weather to show your internet connection status and traffic data without logging in, you can enable UPnP in the UniFi controller: go to Settings > Network > Internet and turn on the UPnP toggle.

What you'll see with login

Once you provide your credentials, Network Weather can show you much more:

  • Software and firmware versions
  • Internet connection status and your external IP address
  • Access point names (so you see "Living Room AP" instead of a random address)
  • Every WiFi device on your network with signal strength
  • How much data each device is using

How to log in

Use your local admin credentials — the username and password you'd normally type into your UniFi controller (the page at https://unifi.local or your router's IP address). If you only sign in with your Ubiquiti cloud account, you may need to create a local admin account in the UniFi controller settings.

If you have two-factor authentication turned on, Network Weather will ask you for the code from your authenticator app.

What problems can be detected

  • Devices with weak WiFi signal
  • Whether your internet connection has dropped
  • Firmware that needs updating
  • Which access points your devices are connected to (helpful for spotting coverage gaps)

Tested on

  • UDM-Pro

Good to know

  • EdgeOS routers are not yet supported. Ubiquiti's EdgeRouter and EdgeSwitch products run different software from UniFi. Support for these is planned for Q2 2026.
  • Firmware version requires login. You won't see the actual firmware version until you provide credentials.
  • Guest networks can't reach the controller. If your computer is on a guest WiFi network, Network Weather won't be able to talk to the router. Make sure you're on your main network.
