Scenario:
Make: Ubiquiti
Version: 5.8.24, 6.0.15, 6.55, 7.44 etc
Description: In this article, we will discuss the stepwise method of how to switch between the “Legacy Interface” and “New User Interface” in Ubiquiti Unifi. Both interfaces have their own advances and hence sometimes we need to switch between these two interfaces.

With the new versions of the UniFi Network Controller, you will find that the user interface has changed in its layout. Finding the required settings in the New User Interface could be difficult for users who have grown familiar with the Legacy or Classic user interface. In some cases, we have also noticed options disappearing completely when viewing the new interface. However, Ubiquiti does give you the option to toggle between the new and old user interfaces.

Switching Legacy to New Interface

Step1: Login
Log in to the Unifi Controller using username and password.
