Release candidate / early access
UniFi Network Application 10.6.97 is not a stable release: Ubiquiti lists 10.6.97 as a release candidate (RC) on its release page, not a general-availability release. Only devices on the vendor's release-candidate or early-access channels are offered it. Most people should stay on the latest stable release, UniFi Network Application 10.6.106.
Newer release in this line: UniFi Network Application 10.6.106 (2026-09-10). If you're updating now, check that one instead — it may already fix the issues reported here.
