Releasing UniFi Network 9.4

min

When we launched our Zone Management in Network 9, we took a modern industry paradigm, and delivered it with UniFi's clarity and simplicity. Now with version 9.4, we are building on that foundation with a new breakthrough we call Object Networking. Alongside it, you will also see a series of performance upgrades that redefine what is possible in live network environments.

Object Networking: Turning Complexity into Control

Traditional policy-based routing interfaces can be cumbersome, rigid, and frustrating to use. Object Networking changes that by allowing you to create micro-segments and apply complete policy sets from a single screen in seconds.

  • Create device groups instantly, even across VLANs
  • Apply internet access rules and isolate devices with a click
  • Route traffic through VPNs to access remote resources or avoid geo restrictions
  • Prioritize apps with QoS in real time
Complex networking, now intuitively simple.

And the best part — it is genuinely easy. There is no steep learning curve, no endless menu digging, and no complicated scripts. Just click and configure. The interface turns what used to be a multi-step, error-prone process into a smooth, visual experience that even busy IT teams can master in minutes.

This is complex networking made intuitive. Unlike traditional systems that depend solely on the gateway, Object Networking coordinates across your entire UniFi hardware stack via firewall rules and ACLs, making traffic management more secure and more efficient. All policies feed directly into the Master Policy Table, your single source of truth.

Smarter WiFi and Deeper Insights

Finally, we have added rapid channel quality scanning, along with an expanded Dashboard that includes new ISP metrics, detailed flow visibility, and continued rollout of enhanced IPv6 support. These upgrades make it easier to monitor performance, troubleshoot issues, and fine-tune your network in real time.

  • Rapid channel quality scanning for live optimization without disrupting connected users and clients
  • New ISP metrics for monitoring upstream service quality, including packet loss
  • Enhanced Flow visibility for granular traffic analysis
  • Continued IPv6 enhancements for future-ready networking
Real-time insights and rapid scanning put precise network monitoring at your fingertips, with zero downtime.

With 9.4, every feature is designed to make advanced network management faster, more intuitive, and more powerful.
