Ah, ok. The Unifi stuff is a bit weird like that. I recommend installing the controller on a computer if you continue to have issues. You don’t have to run it all the time, just use it for config and then turning it off is fine. It’ll give you way more information and control over exactly how the AP is set up.
IDK, it’s been a long time since I watched the episode but isn’t that literally the point? That any amount of critical thinking makes their views make no sense?
