SteadyNet Works with Ubiquiti

As part of SteadyNet’s goal to deliver reliable, remotely-manageable IT solutions at low cost, SteadyNet has recently rolled out a new feature called Ubiquiti UniFi® Cloud Controller. This is a hosted service which uses the off-the-shelf Ubiquiti Controller software, and lets customers use their own UniFi-brand wireless products without needing to purchase or install their own controller. Its login and security system has also been integrated into the SteadyNet Dashboard so that customers do not need to remember additional passwords or web addresses.

The installation process is very straightforward: simply enable the feature by editing the SteadyNet Site, and then visit the UniFi® Controller link in the site’s management page. From there an Access Point may be added via its MAC ID, and within minutes the Controller will detect and adopt the new Access Point. One UniFi site and user is created for each SteadyNet site. Finally, a Wireless Network should be created inside of the Controller’s Settings link. If alerts are desired, the user account may be edited to include an email address. Ubiquiti alerts are currently separate from SteadyNet alerts.

Overall, behavior of the hosted Controller will be identical to a self-hosted controller. Any questions about the service or device adoption process may be sent to SteadyNet Support, and any questions about the actual controller or UniFi products themselves should be sent to Ubiquiti.

We hope that this new feature will simplify wireless deployments for our customers, and offer a turnkey remotely-manageable solution that practically installs itself while being extremely reliable and affordable.
