I tried to update for my home ubiquiti AP last nite
and I found out my controller software does not show new firmware available
I have to update the controller software as well
I contacted ubiquiti support via chat ,
the process is backup config, uninstall old one without saving config, and install new one by importing config

Please find below the steps to upgrade the controller to the latest version:
- On the current controller, navigate to "Settings">>"Maintenance">>"Backup", Click "Download Backup" to save the .unf file
- Close controller
- Uninstall the current controller. Click "No" if and when the uninstaller asks about keeping configurations
- Install the latest controller: https://www.ubnt.com/download/unifi
- Controller starts. In the first browser page, restore the config from the previously saved .unf file
- After some time, all APs will be adopted by the newly upgrade controller and put into the "Connected (needs upgrade)" state
- To upgrade these APs manually click "Upgrade" button for an AP, check if it upgrades/works fine, then upgrade the other. Repeat this until all APs are upgraded. Do not do "Rolling Upgrade".
