In modern networks, wired and wireless infrastructure must work together seamlessly. While MikroTik routers provide powerful routing, security, and automation, many organizations rely on UniFi for centralized Wi-Fi management.
By combining UniFi, MikroTik, and the MikroTik SD-WAN platform, IT teams can achieve full visibility, advanced automation, and simplified management across both wired and wireless networks.
What is UniFi?
UniFi by Ubiquiti is one of the most popular wireless management ecosystems in the world. With the UniFi Controller (on-premises or cloud-hosted), network administrators can:
Manage Wi-Fi access points, switches, and gateways from a single dashboard
Configure guest Wi-Fi portals, VLANs, and SSIDs with ease
Monitor device performance and user activity in real time
Deploy scalable Wi-Fi across homes, offices, and enterprises
Ensure consistent wireless experience across multiple sites
UniFi excels at wireless visibility and control, but when paired with MikroTik, the solution becomes even stronger.
Why MikroTik?
MikroTik routers, powered by RouterOS, are the backbone of countless networks worldwide. They deliver:
Advanced routing (BGP, OSPF, MPLS)
Enterprise-grade firewall and traffic shaping
Automatic WAN failover and load balancing
VPN solutions for secure remote connectivity
Integration with SD-WAN platforms for centralized orchestration
MikroTik provides the core infrastructure, while UniFi handles Wi-Fi. Together, they form a complete solution.
The Role of MikroTik SD-WAN
The MikroTik SD-WAN platform bridges wired and wireless environments by providing centralized cloud management:
Manage multiple MikroTik routers from a single dashboard
Extend monitoring to UniFi environments for unified visibility
Automate WAN failover and optimize connectivity for UniFi APs
Secure remote access with site-to-site VPNs
Get real-time alerts, SLA reports, and performance analytics
