Today, Ubiquiti released a new update to the UniFi Network Controller, bringing it up to version 5.13.29. The update has a long list of improvements and bug fixes and only adds one new feature.
In terms of that feature, Ubiquiti has now added L3 switching features to the new UniFi Switch Pro line. When the Pro switches were launched a few months ago, L3 capability was promised but was marked as “coming soon.”
Other issues fixed are mainly to do with the UDM and improving WAN failover and and guest portal issues.
