Device: Ubiquity UniFi AP AC Pro Generation 2 (with system board that says Generation 2, but doesn't match any other picture on the internet for a Generation 2 device)

Default IP Address: 192.168.1.20 (but watch out, if a DHCP server is available, it will obtain an IP from that pool)

Default IP Address: 192.168.1.20 (but watch out, if a DHCP server is available, it will obtain an IP from that pool, so check the MAC address on the bottom of the Ubiquiti device and find it in the DHCP Server's leases)

Default SSH Password: ubnt /ubnt

Default SSH Password: ubnt /ubnt (press the reset button to reset to factory defaults if this doesn't work)

Install version 3.7.58 firmware (the below assumes the file is renamed to 3.7.58.bin). And this firmware is difficult to find as Ubiquiti does not make available on their website. The links found were not the most reliable, so have not been included here. Do a search and try and find it. The file size is 7.4 MB (Windows size, so 7,766,016 bytes).;
