Yah. Seems a bit involved for something you think would be part of the
basic package. Especially when the APs will all be installed at the
customer's premises; we don't want to have to do a truck roll to move
each one into our cloud controller, but with many of them it would be
required because there's no way (currently) to VPN into their network.

It seems to me that if you are logged into the active controller, it should
be a simple push-button to "move" the controller to another running
controller. Maybe you need to have some sort of session going between
controllers, but that should be relatively easy too. Or maybe (at the most)
a push-button receive mode on one controller, and a push mode from another
controller.
It does not seem "right" that you need to reset an AP (or APs) to move the
controller. Very uncomfortable with this when I have to remote into a site
in the first place, and reset an AP (or APs) in order to get them to link to
an L3 controller in the cloud. Of course, once you've moved the controller,
then you have to re-load the previous AP configuration.

Yes, run the UniFi Controller at the colo. From there you can control every
UniFi you place everywhere.
It pulls statistics, handles upgrades, well, everything a controller is
supposed to do.
It doesn't have to be in a VPN, but that's what I do.

Run it where? The colo? That seems counter productive. We want a
more-or-less continuous VPN connection between our colo and the WiFi AP in
our office? How is this good?

AP was not re-provisioned. She had to re-connect to continue to use
it. She said the connection just "went away". It was simple to
re-connect, just unexpected, and not what I would consider nice behavior.
I will do a couple of controlled tests to see what is happening.
BTW - We don't have any VMs running in our office; those are all down in
the colo.

Sounds like the AP was re-provisioning? Did wifi come back up after a

Is this a known issue?
Not nice.

But it's a pretty snappy machine; 3.7 GHz quad-core A10 with plenty of

I have two at the office. They don't do much more than basic office
