We have 33 of these access points in our building. I rarely have to mess with any of them. Very good load balancing and very reliable. I now have 95% of our network on Ubiquiti.

Based on the reviews, I felt optimistic about my purchase. I don’t feel quite so optimistic anymore. As others have noted, the setup is not straight forward. You also need TWO HDMI cables, which are not included. And, you must manage the install from a mobile device. The Video provided by UniFi does not make this seamless. I had to watch several YouTubes before I could cobble it all together and now that it’s setup and working, I don’t think I got more than about five feet more of coverage for a total of 40 feet – admittedly going through a few walls. I suspect it is perfect for people in business setting that need to manage multiple users, that was not my goal.

I’m an advanced tech user and I did enjoy all the advanced features available on the UAP-AC-PRO but the range was terrible and I will be returning mine. I tried a couple other consumer wifi routers and this was one of the worst performers in terms of range. I didn’t try this in an open field, maybe it would do better there but in a real world house with walls, etc it just didn’t do well.

This product is excellent! The access points that we purchased greatly extended the range of our wifi on all three floors of our fairly large church building.

Bought this to replace Netgear AP/Repeater in my boys’ room. Provides a much better signal. Initial setup was easy with phone app. Connected to UniFi controller now.

I have a standard Verizon router/WAP that could not provide a solid signal to more than half my house. Bought this because I have seen them used at my church. I connected it to a switch off my router, passing through the included PoE injector (power supply), to a central point in my house (56′ long). Because it uses PoE, it is easy to install almost anywhere…where ever one can run a CAT5 or CAT 6 cable. I had thought about installing a120VAC outlet in a closet to move my Verizon router/WAP closer to the center of the house, but this was a lot easier. Installed and ran the control software. I have some familiarity with such things, and found it to be straight forward to set up. Took maybe 10 minutes. Left my Verizon WAP running and have had no interference issues. More than adequate signal throughout the house. Now I’m a hero 🙂

Unifi gear is great. I use it at home, and also have installed it for a family member. Right now I have 5 of these between two locations, as well as Unifi POE switches. The performance is amazing, and it is very reliable. The only minor issue may that it requires some IT experience to setup (not an issue for me as it is my career), but worth noting…it’s not hard, but it’s not plug and play either.

First, I have no idea why I did not switch this way before. Quite a few years I was looking for this and instead I was spending on Linksys and Netgear routers. Jeez what a waste of time and money. Buying multiple routers and setting them up as access points. Wow, so many benchmarks and interweb users talking about the latest and the greatest. The results were so mediocre. Too many specs in paper that makes them paper weights. This is different. It’s not about how fast the link speed of ONE device can be, it’s about how MANY devices can connect, sustain that link speed and data rate. If you want a decent home network with a decent wireless access, please do yourself a favor and trash those AC-Trash Fisher Price SOHO routers and get a simple (USG) UniFi Enterprise Gateway Router and get at least one (UAP-AC-PRO) UniFi Access Point. You will see the difference between those off-the-shelf all-in-one (BAD) routers and a REAL network. For advanced routing you can either get the (ERLite-3) EdgeMax EdgeRouter Lite 3. Also if the area to cover is big or have too many concrete walls a second (UAP-AC-PRO) UniFi Access Point between floors will do the job. I’m an IT administrator, Cisco fan boy and finicky about buying junk, but you can’t beat the cost, quality and results of Ubiquiti ecosystem. Note: Some entry level of networking knowledge is needed to setup all Ubiquiti line. Medium to advanced users for the CLI configuration (Linux / Debian).

This AP has consistently been a workhorse for any indoor install.

I use these almost exclusively in offices. Good range and coverage. They are very directional. So position them accordingly. Pretty simple to setup. Lots of options including VLAN configuration. BEWARE. There are options in the configuration that DON’T work. E.g. VLAN2. Luckily, if you read the forums, it’s pretty easy to find what to avoid. Documentation is sketchy. It needs work. However, it auto-configures well for simple installations. So not much knowledge is needed. But for those of us with multiple SSID’s/VLAN’s it’s a bit tougher. However, many people have posted videos and blogs with a lot of helpful info.
