Learn how to change between the different UniFi interface versions, as some settings in the UniFi Application aren't located in the Legacy User Interface and some are located in the New User Interface.

⚠️ Note: On the UniFi Dream Router (UDR) it is not possible to change between different interface versions.

Changing from the New User Interface to the Legacy User Interface

On the Legacy UniFi interface, log into your HostiFi or any other cloud hosted UniFi Controller.

Then, go to Settings

Next, click on 'System' in the menu bar on the side

Next, scroll down and click on 'Advanced'

Under 'Interface' you can choose between New and Legacy, select Legacy

A warning message will appear warning you about using the Legacy interface, due to reduced features. Click on 'Deactivate'

Next, click on 'User Interface' in the menu bar on the side

Under the 'Display' section, there will be a toggle for 'New User Interface'

Then, turn that toggle on

Scroll down and click the green button 'Apply Changes' to save your settings

The screen will then refresh and you'll be presented with the New User Interface.
