So I went home and downloaded the Unifi Mobile app.
Tried to connect to my existing controller but none were found.
Because that laptop died and the controller isn't running?
Yeah, Probably.
How do I build a new controller? just on my phone or do I need to build it on the computer and sync to my phone?
I never saw that in the Link wrx gave me -
@WrCombs Do you have a windows laptop? If you want to just start from scratch install the controller and follow the directions.

I wouldn't advice it... Just run it on Vultr if you are going to do that.

Oh FFS .
If you have no other access points, then you will likely need to run the discovery app on a computer.

I wouldn't do that either. For a home with no infrastructure, I would run it only from the app.
Using UniFi without any infrastructure is honestly stupid though.

Gotcha.

@WrCombs - did you reset the AP before using the AP? If no, that's why you couldn't find it.
Also, I'm not sure if the app can find an AP via non associated wifi or not - I'm guessing it must be able to, as home users wouldn't typically have a way for their cell phone to be attached to the physical network since you're just now trying to install wifi in the home.
