# Manually Adopt Ubiquity Access Point

- SSH to the Access point and login with the default credentials of **ubnt**/**ubnt**.
- Type the following command where 192.168.xxx.xxx is the IP of your Unifi controller:

```

- Login to the Unifi controller and navigate to Unifi Devices.
- Locate the access point and click Adopt.

## Unifi SSH Commands

We are going to start with the most commonly used Unifi SSH Commands, later on, I will organize them by device or function.
