Managing WiFi systems has always been a challenge for IT networks. UniFi Network 9.1 version is the latest updated version of the popular user interface (UI) UniFi Network series. This new version has many advanced features, making network system management more efficient and user-friendly.
UniFi is one of the leading IT network providers whose user interface (UI) UniFi Network series strengthen network systems.
UniFi Network 9.1 Features
1. Visibility of Traffic Flow
When users complain of slow wi-fi, the first thing problem solvers check is traffic flow. To find out whether some individuals, and/or departments in a company are consuming excess bandwidth.
With a simple, attractive UI(user interface), you can quickly examine every flow going across the network, and detect risks, restricted traffic, or local flows.
Thus you can segregate traffic, give low priority to non-essential activities. Even restrict activities like large file downloads if necessary.
2. Critical Apps’ QoS
Many times you face situations where people complain about poor voice quality during online meetings or calls.
Critical Apps’ QoS (Quality of Service) feature enhanced with sophisticated traffic shaping features and streamlined setup for well known voice-calling apps solves the problem.
3. Last Device Connected
Often while troubleshooting, you might wonder what was the device last connected to the network, and whether that’s what caused the network outage.
UniFi network 9.1 version displays the device last inserted into the port. This feature makes the process quick and easy. Earlier, one had to take out all connected devices, and test each one; which was a tedious process.
4. New SFP Analyzer
New SFP analyzer is included for a uniform, clear picture of all linked optics. This consolidates optical modules and DAC metrics into a single view. This helps in troubleshooting SFP modules ensuring optimum uplink.
5. Zero Touch Replacement of Devices
Suppose an office needs a tech-refresh. Zero-touch replacement facility enables completely remote UniFi device swaps via Site Manager tool.
6. Panel for Air view Diagnostics
Another important aspect to consider while understanding network problems is diagnostics.
New Airview diagnostics panel in UniFi network 9.1 provides device event logs, neighbor AP tables, and real-time WiFi data for a quick examination. This helps in making informed decisions.
Channel scans and packet captures enable rapid access to packet capture and RF channel scans for comprehensive wireless investigation.
Scalable management of PPSK (Private Pre-Shared Keys) with automated VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) assignment and CSV (Comma-Separated Values)-based key import, Private Pre-Shared Key support has been improved for large scale installations.
You can preset WiFi radios using UniFi network 9.1. It also has easy to use tools for increased stability and speed optimization, resisting interference from nearby WiFi access points.
