Connected quickly and seamlessly.
Very wide coverage.
Of course, it belongs to a closed ecosystem where you need homogeneous antennas to have satisfactory management.
It works, without any problems at all, for a few days now. Following the advice of a friend, who has been using it flawlessly for over 3 years, I bought it to replace the wifi of the provider's modem/router. After installation, I disabled the router's wifi, as I have placed it half a meter away from the router, without this being a requirement for the AP to function.
The range is very good. It comfortably covers a 130 sqm apartment. Excellent reception even on the balcony.
It doesn't get blocked by walls and closed doors. Additionally, it can be connected to additional APs in a Mesh network. Personally, I don't need a second one, as it fully covers the entire apartment.
It operates on both 2.4 and 5 GHz bands, or whichever one you choose to set it to.
As for the setup, I don't agree with other users that it is difficult. It can be set up either with a mobile/tablet application (with fewer options) or with the Unify Controller, which you can download from the Ubiquiti website. The only thing you need to do is create an account on Ubiquiti and have Java 8 installed on your PC.
I set it up with the Controller, which I installed on a VM. What you need to pay attention to in a similar case is that the VM should run with an external switch and not the default Microsoft switch, which runs behind NAT and doesn't allow the Controller to see the AP.
Highly customizable, for every use and knowledge level! But you don't need to configure everything. It works very well with the defaults.
So far, I am completely satisfied and I highly recommend it to permanently solve the wifi problem.
I bought it to replace 2 APs that I had. One 2.4 and one dual band. On the 2.4, I had about 60 wifi clients for Home Assistant and on the other about 25 other devices. TVs, computers, mobiles, ps4, etc. I had installed the second AP because with just one, it couldn't handle everything. I had terrible lag. To the point where I press the switch and the light turns on in 3-4 seconds.
I read great things about the unifi AP and went for it.
I set up the controller on a pi3 and now everything works as it should.
Lightning-fast speeds without any delay.
Statistics for each client and overall everything is manageable.
I highly recommend it.
In terms of range, I'm the same as before in a 100sqm house.
24/7/365 operation for 2 years now. You set it up and forget about it, just like any Ubiquiti device. Satisfied with the range and mesh capabilities. Installation is a breeze if you know the Unifi management software. Easy and quick firmware updates, even through the Unifi smartphone app. I highly recommend it.
Difficult to install. I have had it for two years. Daily signal interruptions. It needs to be restarted on a daily basis. The worst purchase I have made.
The machine is awesome, it has very difficult software but I don't think there is anything more powerful for this price on the market. I have worked with several APs, none of them did this job better
I have had it for 3 years and it has never disconnected. It is for open spaces without obstacles. If you want to increase its range (from 3 dbi to 15dbi), you can remove its antennas and connect a Ubiquiti Uma-D antenna (directional and not 360°), which penetrates through walls much easier. I would buy it again. I am very satisfied!
After 5 years, it continues to work flawlessly! As for its configuration, it can be easily done through the UniFi application on the playstore. It can also be connected with a second or more antennas via Mesh. For example, you will have two antennas for better coverage but it will appear as one network. The network switching will happen automatically without you noticing, depending on where you move (closer antenna).
Golgothas! I'm trying to connect it and I've been at it for about a day. It disconnects randomly and gives out some error messages. I will write a final response when I have a complete picture after a few days.
Very nice software... it requires installation of the controller to play... and not just plugging in the IP and adjusting...
Satisfactory range (better than picostation) but not as powerful as outdoor +-. Overall, it does its job very well for 3 months without any problems or restarts. 4 stars for the value for money
