How do I update?
So migrating from previous firmware to UniFi OS won’t happen automatically, it’ll need a manual update – either from the web UI or via SSH. We recommend SSH as sometimes the web UI can hang and fail the update.
Web UI
Login to the UCK UI, go to settings and choose the option to update manually and enter the firmware URL found here on the Ubiquiti forums, be sure to choose the correct one for your device.
SSH
SSH into your Cloud Key and execute the following. <url> can be found here on the Ubiquiti forums.
