UbiquitiUAP-AC-PRO-E UniFi AP AC PRO-e - (Enterprise Computing > Wireless Networking)

Brilliant AP, with super features. You will need the controller software to setup but not a necessity to run on a day to day basis, although I do recommend as there are some really cool features available:- Excellent range. I have one of these in a central location in my house and it's able to reach WiFi cameras out in the both the rear of the garden and in my driveway.- Needs a PoE Injector or PoE Switch to operate- If you couple this with the Unifi Edge Router, or Unifi Secure Gateway it works out cheaper and with better results than purchasing a high end wifi router (I'm using these to replace my Netgear Nighthawk R8500)Highly recommend if you've never considered this approach.Point of note:This Is exactly the same as the item listed on Amazon below (even though the Amazon description is marginally different) UBIQUITI NETWORKS UBI-UAP-AC-PRO 24/5Ghz 450/1300Mbps 122m - (Enterprise Computing > Routers) I've ordered both items recently, with this one in the last few days. The item above showing at £123 (current), and this one at £109 (current). I received the exact same item, in the exact same box, with the exact same contents from two different resellers (new black box rather than the legacy white box)The fact is, which I've explained to Amazon customer service is that the manufacturer no longer produces/makes the AC Pro AP with a PoE Injector and the other item listed doesn't come with one (despite sellers and previous customer feedback), so resellers are shipping the same item with two different costs.This is the right option if you want the AC Pro AP (but please remember you still need to purchase the Injector separately in both cases)

I'm no network tech but setting these up was fairly easy - we did need to consult ubiquiti forums and do a bit of youtubing but when we got it going it all became clear. Make sure you factory reset any ubiquiti kit when setting up for the first time - if any of the kit has been on a different network before this will cause issues for controller adoption. We changed ISP but had these APs on our old network first; they can still transmit old SSIDs if not completely reset at the AP locally.A bit ggeky, but going through all the metrics and stats in the controller is really interesting! I have a much better understanding of how a network actually works now and needless to say wifi is now excellent everywhere in the house, garden and studio. Sonos also now works properly and paired with our new 350Mbps Virgin Fibre we have an optimal home office network system now :)

I was recommended this by a friend whose brother worked in IT.Excellent product it has solved my long term internet frustrations.I had changed provider multiple times to try and solve but each different hub I still had the same issue. Whenever on portable devices I found they would lag a lot. Videos and comments would buffer for 20secs a go when on Facebook. Became so frustrating. When I clicked on website on my iPad and then on another link, quite often it would freeze and 10-20secs later the page would say no connection. I click refresh and it would load fine then.I plugged in this access point and it was really easy to setup after downloading the software. I put it next to my existing hub. I left my iPad on the hub and connected my phone to the Unifi AP and ran Speedtest in various places on my house. This product was about 20-30% faster than my hub. The range was also a bit better too.I have no switched off the WiFi on my hub and everything is connected to this instead and it’s been flawless ever since.I was considering a new router at 3-4x the price of this and glad I didn’t.Need to buy the POE adapter separately. Make sure you get the UK sold one as they give u a separate Uk plug for it as it comes with the EU plug in the box.

Ok so the product is good. Strong signal and solid speeds under multiple loads. But it was a bit tricky to set up because the machine I was using for that set up was running foxy proxy. I run several dhcp servers on the network and so getting the device an ip wasn't an issue but from there it got a bit fiddly. Entirely my fault but they could have made it a lot easier by giving these things a default ip, uname and pwd like all home wifi points. Also the failure to include a PoE adapter is annoying if you don't have one laying around (which I didn't).

amazing product, really helped my struggling virgin media router. i was originally getting 10 to 20 MB on speed tests once i plugged in the uap i was getting around 90 to 100 MB, even with over 35 devices accessing it the connection kept strong and wouldn't drop with multiple devices connecting to it. i might after two weeks get there USG router and see if that speeds up anything,for setup i just plugged all the cables from POE injector to the UAP to the virginmedia box. i used the android app from unity to setup the UAP and i used the same details of my virginmedia wireless SSID and password then turned off the virginmedia wireless off from the box and all devices just moved over to new AP, if your feeling the need to speed things up i would suggest typing into google how to properly setup a UAP and follow the numerous guides to set it up.

I used this to extend a 3 way Unifi AP setup. This one is meshed to the other wired Access points in the system. SImple enough to install, but if any problems then factory reset is your friend (on this unit)! There's a set of wirlesss extension instructions on the Unifi site. Remember the unit has to be Provisioned via the Unifi Controller software before it can be used.

Two of them in our 2400 square foot floor and a half and everything gets the fastest connection it supports with smooth handover as you move around the house - WiFi as it should be. Now I'm ready for the FTTH that's going in round here.Set up using the Android app was a breeze just set SSID and WPA key on each to the same thing and job done no need to install any controller software and from what I can see if I ever need to get fancy I can do it all by ssh and the CLI.
