How to set up Unifi Controller For Unrouted Private Network?

So think about defining your neighbourhood in the simple terms of "how far down your street does it go?"
Networks are a one dimensional world, so this is a very simplistic example to mimic them.
So to define your neighbourhood you give me a street address like (1275 Crescent St.)
But that's not a neighbourhood, that's one house. That's just the first house of the neighbourhood, not he neighbourhood. But since we know the neighbourhood is all in a strait row one after another, you just need one additional piece of information which is "how many addresses" to add to the "starting address."
So if we defined the neighbourhood as the next 100 houses, and we know the lowest numerical address in the pool, then it is trivial to know that the neighbourhood is every house from 1275 Crescent St. to 1375 Crescent St.!
Very easy. Know where you start, and how far you go.

Basic networking, and the ISO model, are the two things that I feel just require memorization first. Then you learn to use them. And both are "needed for every conceivable task" you will do in IT.

Then check your DHCP logs and see if your AP has an IP assigned to it.

can you ping it?

did you read the error and do what it said? Update the firmware on the AP before adopting a second time?

Says that it has to adopt first then upgrade.

Then you'll have to likely SSH to it and force an upgrade that way.

I can try running a Custom upgrade.
