I recently bought a CloudKey+ from Ubiquiti and for several days, it wasn't loading or appearing to work. So, I finally SSH'ed into it with the default username/password: root/ubnt. I got the IP from the display port and once there, I issued ifconfig eth0.
root@UniFi-CloudKey-Gen2-Plus:~# ifconfig eth0 eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.119 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 inet6 2600:1700:1102:27d0:7a45:58ff:fef5:6e47 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x0<global> inet6 fe80::7a45:58ff:fef5:6e47 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link> inet6 2600:1700:1102:27d0::3e9 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x0<global> ether 78:45:58:f5:6e:47 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 14809 bytes 10448243 (9.9 MiB) RX errors 0 dropped 428 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 4785 bytes 1652104 (1.5 MiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 That is a lot of IPv6 networking which I don't use at home. So I issued 3 more commands to disable IPv6 and verify: root@UniFi-CloudKey-Gen2-Plus:~# sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 root@UniFi-CloudKey-Gen2-Plus:~# sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1 net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1 root@UniFi-CloudKey-Gen2-Plus:~# ifconfig eth0 eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.1.119 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 78:45:58:f5:6e:47 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) RX packets 21280 bytes 11006272 (10.4 MiB) RX errors 0 dropped 787 overruns 0 frame 0 TX packets 10731 bytes 8916935 (8.5 MiB) TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 Once I did that, everything worked immediately. Just a quick tip for you if you are having issues. Good luck! My frustration began when I am paying for gigabit fiber and only getting a few hundred MB/s downloads. So here is a guide I used to help speed up my wifi with my new Ubiquiti nanoHD Access Point. First, remember, your Mbps connection is, in reality, is 8x less than that once you convert it to the more familiar, MB/s . 1000 Mbps = 125 MB/s 500 Mbps = 62.5 MB/s 100 Mbps = 12.5 MB/s 50 Mbps = 6.25 MB/s 10 Mbps = 1.25 MB/s Don't be too disheartened though about speeds, Netflix recommends 5 Mbps for HD, 25 Mbps for UHD, so you'll be okay.
