The UniFi Network application isn't just for configuration — its monitoring views are usually the fastest way to confirm whether a reported problem is actually a network issue.

Where to Look

• Dashboard — a top-level view of overall network health, active clients, and any devices currently flagged with an issue.
• Clients — a live list of every connected device, its network/VLAN, signal strength (for Wi-Fi), and current bandwidth use — the fastest way to spot one device hogging bandwidth.
• Devices — status for every switch, access point, and gateway, including uptime, CPU/memory load, and port-by-port traffic on switches.
• Insights — historical views of past client connections, Wi-Fi events, and rogue access point detection.
• Alerts/notifications — configurable under Settings > System > Notifications to flag device offline events, high CPU, or firmware update availability by email.

Common Questions

How do I find what's using all the bandwidth right now?

Open Clients and sort by current throughput — this shows exactly which device is active and how much bandwidth it's using at that moment, without needing to check each device individually.

Can I get notified automatically instead of checking manually?

Yes — configure notifications under Settings > System > Notifications for events like a device going offline, so you find out immediately rather than during your next manual check.
