There is no option to check for upgrades to the Network Controller on the Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro. There are buttons that allow you to check for and apply updates for the Protect, Access and Talk controllers. Why not? Who knows……
To manually upgrade the controller you will need to login to the UDMP using SSH. To do this, you will use root and the password for your SSO account. Once connected, execute the following commands:
- unifi-os shell
- This will launch the Unifi OS shell so that you can install the controller
- cd /tmp
- Change the directory to the tmp directory
- curl -o “unifi_sysvinit_all.deb” https://dl.ui.com/unifi/6.0.45/unifi_sysvinit_all.deb
- Download the file from Ubuiquiti – It will download into the directory you are currently in
- dpkg -i unifi_sysvinit_all.deb
- This command will install the package you downloaded
- rm /tmp/unifi_sysvinit_all.deb
- If the install was successful in the step 4, you should delete the file
That is it. The hardware will not need to be rebooted and if you login to the website for your Dream Machine, you will see that the Network Controller will now be updated to the latest version.
