The full release notes for UniFi 7.5.187 can be found here on the Ubiquiti Community.

PPSK

UniFi 7.5.187 adds support for something called WiFi Private Pre-Shared Keys (PPSK) which allows on SSID to be used with different passwords, each password allowing connectivity to different VLANs i.e for staff, guests and IoT devices. At the moment, this won't work on setups which use WPA3.

New Dashboard for WiFi-only Setups

A new dashboard has been added for setups which only have WiFi Access points and switches, i.e without a UniFi gateway. The new design makes better use of the screen real estate and offers more accessible data for managing WiFi setups.
