Another great Unifi device

I am the IT guy for a lumber supply company. Our place of business sits on 7 acres and includes several buildings, material sheds, etc. I am already using a number of Ubiquiti devices including Edgerouter, four Unifi switches, and eight Unifi access points. This is the first AP that I purchased to mount outside. We put it on the side of one of our sheds to cover a chunk of the yard, and provide WiFi coverage to a warehouse that sits at the far edge of the property. It was mounted and turned on just today, and so far it's looking great. Using my Galaxy S 7 Edge as a test client, I am getting coverage several hundred feet away from the AP. Even when my WiFi meter on the phone is down to 2 bars, I can run a speed test and get a steady 10 Mbps down. The warehouse at the edge of the property has never had WiFi coverage, and now I can walk inside, behind shelves, behind interior walls, and still get a reasonable level of service. The guy that works in that building is very happy!

Well designed and executed outdoor AP

The is my forth Unifi AP, although the first outdoor unit. While the unit comes with a 48 VDC Gigabit PoE injector, I am powering the UAP via a separate PoE GbE switch. Hopefully it holds up to the weather. The mounting hardware is cast aluminum and steel, although the AP's housing is plastic. Per the photos, the unit is mounted on a small shed. I used a tappered piece of 2x pressure treated wood to angle the AP toward the desired coverage area. WiFi RSSI levels of greater than -60 dBm (e.g., -57 dBm) are measured at about 100 feet from the AP (near my driveway, where a Ring Floodlight camera is planned)

Very impressed, Ubiquiti is now our 1st choice for deployments these days.

We've been using the OpenMesh line of products for years, but lamented over poor performance, lack of IPv6 support, and other issues. Deploying Ubiquiti products has proven far less complicated, with much better performance and network accessibility/range than we ever expected. IPv6 support was of-course functional right out of the box. In one example, we were still configuring a UAP prior to mounting, but decided on an ad-hoc test anyways. With OpenMesh we basically couldn't get a signal to travel much further past one exterior wall. With the UAP-AC-M-PRO-US, the signal not only traveled strongly through the wall, we were able to maintain mobile device connectivity upwards of 1,000ft away across a wooded field. Pairing the UAP-AC-M-US has also significantly impressed us. Again, with the OpenMesh line of products we couldn't even establish a mesh at 5Ghz (equipment doesn't support it), packet loss was high, and latency would readily spike into the triple digits. While the Ubiquiti equipment not only meshes at 5Ghz, there's effectively zero packet loss, and we're able to push data at full wireless mesh speed. We're profoundly impressed with this product line and its feature-set.

Solid performer, easily managed, solid range

Like much of the Ubiquiti line, this is a solid performer and well worth the investment. There are a few "gotchas" to be aware though. First, the antenna pattern is primarily toroidal; this means that it is designed to be installed at approx 6-8 feet, not necessarily on a high pole. The higher you mount it, the bigger "doughnut" of no coverage you will have under it. I have mine mounted approx. 16 feet above ground, and have probably a 40 foot ring of poor coverage immediately under/surrounding it, which is covered by a different access point. In my installation, I have a solid signal four to five hundred feet away in the real world, as long as there is no substantial vegetation in the way. One issue with wifi is that the signal is blocked by vegetation, so you may lose some range depending on your terrain and vegetation. Managing the access point is simple. Power it up, adopt it into your Unifi network and complete any additional setup you may desire, such as adjusting radio power levels and band steering. If you have never worked with Ubiquiti equipment, it may take you a little longer - it's near-enterprise grade/enterprise grade equipment, and assumes that you know at least a little about networking. Don't let this scare you away - the forums are excellent and help is always only a post/email/phone call away.

I won't buy anything else.

I only give 5 stars if I am blown away. I'm a network admin (20 years) I LOVE UBIQUITY! So far both of my networks have been massively reliable and unbelievably easy to configure and maintain. I have 28 of these in a 14 acre warehouse full of inventory, metal walls and many many different height ceilings and no dead spots.

Very, very nice

Very happy with the range on this, and reasonably happy with the speed. I've been able to get about 300 Mb down on it - sees to not go much faster than that for any individual device, but it can do that on 2-3 devices at a time. I wish there was an option to add an extra directional antenna for wireless uplink, though - my non-pro mesh is far enough away that the 5ghz network is around 35% so people connecting to that one max out around 50-60 down, which isn't that much faster than they'd get on the 2.4 band of the pro at the same distance (35-40) Setup was a bit of a mess, the iPhone app for standalone setup isn't quite there yet (they did quickly fix the very irritating iPhone app bug I encountered and reported, though - editing the 2.4 network would change the network name to the password(!!!). Patch went out less than a week after I reported it). I just installed the controller software and used that instead, its how they're intended to work, and it was pretty effortless.

Mass Coverage Area at 5 Ghz!

This access point is quite large in size but very simple to configure in a Ubiquity network environment. If you are new to Ubiquiti products, you will adapt well to their system. The access point comes with a POE adapter but if you have a POE Switch (802.3af/802.3at ) compatible, you will be fine. I have it configured to a Linksys 8-Port POE Business switch and works great. It comes with a wall bracket and a pole bracket. Provides great coverage area on 5 Ghz alone so you can imagine the lengthy coverage on the 2 Ghz. I have this installed in an attic and get full range outside along the property.

Finally! Dual band high performance for Unifi

So happy Ubiquiti decided to add this product to the Unifi line. I mounted it in a meeting hall and tested it with a full house of about 250 users. It worked flawlessly and with amazing throughput on both bands.Of course i later added the other APs to spread the load. PROS: 2.4 ghz & 5 GHz - total flexibility Perfectly compatible with even legacy Unifi APs Strong TX and RX signals CONS: none

Another great Ubiquiti product

I'm very happy with this latest addition to my Ubiquiti home setup. It rounds out my installation by providing solid and reliable wifi in my backyard. It's powered by Ubiquiti's PoE EdgeSwitch and I'm using a Unifi controller running on Docker on an IntelNUC. My main motivation for purchasing it was to get better outdoor coverage for my https://www.amazon.com/Ring-Spotlight-Battery-Security-Two-Way/dp/B0758L64L9/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1540317615&sr=1-4&keywords=ring+battery.

Great coverage, mesh, use as a wireless bridge too

Lots of coverage for both 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. The box is pretty large, almost 14" high so be warned it is not for tight spaces. These also mesh and have 2 network ports so you can plug another device into the second port and use it like a wireless bridge. I am using one at my house as an AP and bridge for a shed on my property with IP cameras attached to it.
