UniFi Guest Hotspot USG or Dream needed?

Networking & Firewalls

Hi

Does one need a USG or Dream to have a guest hotspot? Or should it work from a Cloud or Local Controller? I can set up the guest Wifi but devices can;t connect to it. I’ve set it up multiple different ways but can;t get it to work!
I’ve got a Guest Wifi Hotspot, A guest network LAN and is seems to use the default RADIUS settings though not sure if they’re relevant.

Thanks

Dave

Actually I’m fairly certain you can run the Guest Captive Portal on just the UniFi Controller, I don’t think it requires their firewall at all.

I have several remote sites linked to my cloud controller that use the guest portal. Just has to be setup correctly. Doesn’t require one of their firewalls!
