Unifi 802.11ac Dual-Radio PRO Access Point (UAP-AC-PRO-US), Single,White

I've been running an Apple AirPort Extreme + 2 Airport Express's to cover our 3600 sq. ft. 2-story home, but coverage was still spotty and my connection would often drop back to 2.4Ghz in my office, partly due to interference from my neighbors' Wi-Fi networks. It meant frequent buffering of WebEx and Zoom meetings, and a general frustrating experience. Enter Ubiquti. Where have you been all of my life? I learned about this system from a colleague at work who'd been using it for a while. I set up the controller software on an 8-year-old Dell laptop running Windows 10 I was already using for my security cameras, and plugged the Unifi access point into my network. The software recognized it and provisioned it right away. I set it up with the same SSID and password as my Airport network, and once the Unifi was up and running, I turned off the wireless radios in my extreme base station with the Apple Airport app, and then went around the house to unplug the 2 Airport Express's - all of this while my wife was on a Webex call for work. Voila! Seamless transition to the Unifi with zero disruption. Now for the best part: The Unifi AP is sitting on a shelf in a downstairs coat closet that's centrally located in the house, and the same location where I had the AirPort Extreme previously. I'm getting 95% or better Wi-Fi experience scores (according to the controller software) for every device in the house - all 24 of them. And that claim seems legit because FaceTime, video streaming and WebEx calls are crystal clear, even in locations farthest away from the AP. My wife often takes video calls from an upstairs guest bedroom, which is the farthest point in the house from the AP, and the quality is perfect, with never any buffering for her now, when previously it was spotty with my Airport network. There's also an Amazon FireStick in that room that used to buffer a lot, but now streams 4K video with no buffering. I'm also getting great coverage on our screen porch outside, which used to be in a Wi-Fi shadow from the Extreme, but too far from an Express to get a reliable signal. The garage, front porch and driveway also have a signal strong enough for reliable FaceTime calls now. In short, I'm completely blown away by this thing. I can't believe that a single Wi-Fi AP sitting on a shelf in a closet, amidst a sea of other strong Wi-Fi signals from neighboring houses, can deliver such stellar performance to every single device and location in our home. But it does. I should also note that I bought two of these things assuming I would need to install a second one upstairs to get acceptable coverage, but I don't, so I'll take it to our second home and set it up there, replacing the Airport network there, too. So here's my final setup: 1 Unifi Pro AP 1 Apple AirPort Extreme being used as the router with the radios turned off 1 Motorola cable modem 1 old Dell PC running the controller software And one final thing: the Unifi mobile app is a thing of beauty and gives me quick access to performance stats, etc. I'm so happy to finally have a commercial-grade Wi-Fi system that's as solid and reliable as I want it to be. Update 1/29/23: Still thrilled with these access point. They’ve been rock solid, hassle free and trouble free for almost 3 years now.

I recently bought this and have only had it for a few days (time of writing obviously) but so far it has been a real eye opener. This is from someone that normally would buy your typical mid-high end wireless home routers from ASUS, ASROCK, TP-LINK etc.. Now, I am no Network Engineer and/or IT Specialist but I am what can be considered a "prosumer" or "power-user". I know plenty of advanced topics and concepts in networking but in no way to the deep level understanding that a professional Network or IT engineer would. That said, I've only had it a few days and being a relatively simple product (in terms of what its main purpose is) I will go over the main differences "I" noticed when moving to an AP + Gateway/Router + Modem HOME solution instead of the typically Wireless Router + Modem only solution. The first thing you will immediately notice is that this is NOT going to be plug n play like a wireless router would. Now, that is not to say that this is a pain to setup but just FYI this will require at least a bit of effort besides hooking up Ethernet cable(s) and applying power. Now, as a prosumer I like tinkering and what not so this is fine by me. Honestly, the most time-consuming part of this process is mounting it. Actually setting it up software wise is extremely easy. The inevitable question will come up...do I have to mount it on the ceiling/wall? NO you do not. It can be just sitting somewhere on a flat surface if you wish but obviously its not recommended not because it won't work but because wireless coverage/throughput won't be at its best and if your spending this much to upgrade your home wireless network you might as well go the extra mile and get everything you can out of it. The software you literally just follow the instructions, download the controller software to a PC/Laptop/HomeServer ect... and execute. The software is intuitive and you will pick up on the GUI quickly with simple exploration/discovery. It handles the initialization, configuration & monitoring of the AP. Now for the impressions. MASSIVE difference compared to having a singular Wireless Router powering your whole house/apartment. In my case, I have about an ~1200 sqft apartment. I mounted it on the ceiling near the center of the apartment in the most open area (Living Room + Dining Room + Kitchen) and used a 50ft CAT5e shielded UTP Ethernet cable to neatly route it back to my now WIRED only router (If you are staying with a wireless router, disable ALL radios) + POE Switch Combo. My whole apartment is literally covered with "Full Bars" of coverage. The lowest point I could find was way back in the Master Bedroom where it was a good -62 dBm (Anything above -65 dBm is good IMO). Before, I could not go to my Bedroom without experiencing intermittent drops and/or LAG. Not to mention that when I did have a connection there it was sometimes slow, as in Youtube constantly buffering slow. This is no longer the case and I am really impressed. The Controller software also has some pretty advanced features which I like and the interface and how it shows you stats and data is really neat and slick. The LED Blue light CAN be turned off if you wish. Overall, really satisfied and will no longer rely on wireless routers or all-in-one solutions again. Honestly, although it is more work, it is far worth it to avoid hassling with the router and the frustration of dealing with slow internet when you KNOW you are paying for high speed internet (In my case its 200 Down, 20 Up) and are not getting those results. Now granted, this is wireless we are talking about so you will RARELY get your full internet speed if your roaming around or not in line of sight of the AP. In my case, If I am in the living room or anywhere within line of sight and maybe 20-40 ft away It will get pretty close sometimes even full speed (Average I'd say 170-180 mbps out of 200 Max). Anywhere not line of sight and an appreciable distance away will drop it to an average of 90-120 mbps which is STILL EXCELLENT compared to my previous numbers of 5-10!! This is on both the 2.4 GHZ and 5 GHZ bands as well as using an AC device (Galaxy S Phone). If your case is similar to mine and don't mind tinkering, DITCH the wireless router and get a good Wired Router/Gateway because those have much better hardware for handling plenty of traffic since they don't worry about radios. BUY this AP because of its easy and slick GUI AND the fact that the company Ubiquiti has other products that have similar design style and will integrate nicely together with ONE software package (Big deal for me maybe not for others). Highly Recommended!

Excelente producto. Ya llevo varios meses y no he tenido problemas con el producto. Muy bueno.

Ottimo prodotto 👍👍👍👍

It's perfect if you wish to add an AP to dead zones, I've set one up on the second floor right in the epicentre of all rooms and its fantastic, great strong coverage through a feet of concrete and mortar, I will add a second one to my outdoor enclosed patio for maximum coverage in the garden too, great product, I'm amazed by it My cons are the Unifi install console, requiring Java to run the application seems like a big risk nowadays.

Uso o AP Pro da Ubiquity em casa juntos com switches PoE sem problemas e consigo métricas e dados a respeito do funcionamento. Ainda que este modelo suporte geração 5 do Wi-Fi, fornece bom desempenho quando na faixa 5GHz quando alocado corretamente, considerando que paredes e móveis interferem a absorvem mais o sinal nesta banda. Recomendo.

Very good signal and I am happy with this device.
