Unifi Connection Problem - No Internet Access [SOLVED]

If your modem and wireless router function properly and only the WAN light turn to amber/orange, your setting might run. So you need to reset your router.

Step 1# Reset your wireless router to factory defaults
With power ON, use a pin to press & hold the reset button for 5 seconds which is located nest to power cord written, RESET.

Step 2# Log in to router
Click start > Run > and type Ping 192.168.0.1. Or type 192.168.0.1 in Internet Explorer. You will direct to below webpage. Username : admin  Password: leave it blank (no need to fill)




Step 3# Reboot the system
If you encounter similiar issue, your WAN connection status was not connected by checking the Status. To do the setting, click Wizard, type you username and password. 
 Here is a BIG TRAP
The REP guide me through didn't ask me to add @unifi at the username column, simply mention my username without @unifi.  (The main reason the setup failed at the first place)

You can't get the password in your registration form, the REP give me the password after doing some verification, the password is the combination of numbers, small capital and capital, a bit long. If you don't have, call them, 1-300-88-1222.



Click next. Fill up below
Tick Enable wireless box
SSID: your name share for wireless connection. 
Key Type: AES. 
Preshare Key: Password for wireless connection

Lastly, click submit,  it will reboot the system. Wait for a while and the network will connect soon. Mine reconnected in one minute.

P/S: If still can't, you can turn off the Windows Firewall as it might affect the network connection.

If the REP listen patiently to user, understand their problem, the issue can be solved ON-THE-SPOT. Unifi technician no need to come, user save troubles, save petrol, save time, save your reputation. WHY THEY NEVER LISTEN...are they chasing KPI or not enough training?

  3. agree, TM Call Center is the worst Call Center. They will only ask you questions, pass you around, but never give answers.

  4. Please don't follow this guide, its a scam.

    Once you've reset the router, you will lose all connection to the wifi, you won't be able to connect to the router anymore.

    This guy knows nothing and trying to trick us.

    Please shut him down.

    1. Actually he did state the effects of this method in which you will lose your router profile (username, password, etc) as the router is in factory reset state. Not his fault though as he was doing this with the TM Call centre help.

      Ive did this method and works perfectly fine for me. I think you dont read his guide till the end (you need to set up a new router profile)

    2. Use a cabled LAN connection to your PC, then connect to the router's BIOS via the ping mentioned. It's not hard
