Er, whut?

Did you install a Ubiquiti Controller? If so... yes... it is the master and a security principle is that if the master is gone, the slaves don't act independently.

But you can run a UniFi AP without the Controller software and just configure it using an iOS or Android app. Which is how I do it, and does not require keeping any computer turned on to run the Controller software.

I stand corrected then. will hunt for more details on how to run it but everything I found seemed to suggest it had to be running on a computer for you to be able to access the AP.

was planning on buying a cloud key controller to avoid doing so, so this is good news.

edit: I think this was what I read... https://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Wireless/UniFi-AP-without-Controller-software/td-p/301678

I've had the Unifi AP running for a few months without the controller running other than when I wanted to do something. I did need it for updating the firmware though (I started to get some connection issues with a chromebook until I updated to the latest firmware).
