Отзывы о Wi-Fi точка доступа Ubiquiti UAP-AC-IW 5-pack

i have 2 HD units, 1 lite unit and 1Pro unit. This is overkill. The HD units are well worth the money over the PRO units as I have the Unifi router and switch and can see what is connected to each unit. These are used in airports and hotels, but work really well in a home. I have one on every level of the house and one in the garage. A bit expensive of a set up, but you will have them for a few years and better than hearing everyone complaining about the wifi.

I used to have 2 CISCO Access Points at home, but always caused issues. I believe it was related with channel conflicts. A coworker recommended Ubiquiti, and I gave it a try. It works like charm. The WiFi reaches a longer range and the signal is strong everywhere. Also the User Interface to configure the Access Points is the best that I've seen, and the reports are very well designed and helpful. It puts CISCO to shame!

You need an ethernet connection to make it work that took a bit of time to run the cable in the attic but once that was done I mounted it to an old satellite dish post and plugged it in. it quickly connected to my existing Ubiquity network and like magic, I had wifi on the other side of my building at the same speed as my direct ethernet connected devices in the house. Verry happy and it is small and esthetically pleasing.

Wow, best AP I have ever owned!!! Easy to set up with APP, once plugged in, app found it, changed the SSID/PW and it worked right away. First connection showed 550MBPS on my tablet, noticed a huge difference on how quick web pages loaded, even Netflix.
Broke my bank purchasing it, but who needs food when you have super crazy fast WIFI! worth every penny.

Unifi is not the easiest to set up but once you get it right, it works flawlessly. This AP is incredible. One in a central location in the two storey house plus basement, easily provides coverage to the entire house as well as the front porch and backyard. Never drops signal with band steering engaged and the speed is incredible. Worth the money.

First Review June 19th, 2020:

I was debating whether or not to get the Lite or Pro version due to costs but I decided to shell out a little more on the HD version and let me tell you, this did not disappoint. I live in a 3-story home and what I was using previously was a D-Link Wi-Fi Extender that could barely reach all corners of my home besides the main floor where it was placed. My internet plan is 940mb/s download and 940mb/a upload and I was only able to get barely 10mb/s through my cellphone from the basement with the D-Link Wi-Fi Extender. Especially if you use other wireless devices and gaming electronics in which this case, with my VR headset Oculus Quest, it requires a 5GHz connection and I barely got anything.

With the Ubiquiti’s UniFi AP HD, connected to a gigabit switch, holy crap, I kid you not, I was getting 200-300mb/s through my phone and a stable 5GHz connection on my Oculus Quest. Even from the furthest points of my 3-story home, I was getting at least 100mb/s both download and upload. This beats the modem/router my internet plan came with.

If you live in a 1 or 2-floor home, the Lite and Pro versions are enough, but if you live in a much larger home where you have multiple floors, the HD version is suffice. I recommend spending a little more if you want better Wi-Fi connections throughout your home because consumer-based routers and repeaters/extenders will not do anything for you no matter how cheap and tempting the costs may be for you.

Works so well, now our staff wants to get them for homes.
Disclaimer - we have 50+ employees on wifi all the time in 7500 sqr ft space. We did have multiple wifi routers set up as just access points, all using the same password and SSID. That is a terrible idea compared to proper access points like these. So it is kind of an unfair comparison.
The set up for these was easy and the functionality so far has been fantastic. I had used Meraki in the past and they worked great. So we looked at Meraki but it was considerably more money.

Love the range. Product is huge, much larger than I was expecting but that was clearly labeled I just didn't notice it. You need to download an app to get it up and running. And I had to do it on an older computer that I have (but rarely use) because there was an error with the app on my android phone and my newer mac book air. So that was annoying. But once it was up and running it works really well. Considering buying more unifi gear now to complement this.

This unit was easy to install. You need to hard wire it with an Ethernet cable. It gives a good signal out to my shop which is +/- 150 feet from my house. I bought it because my son has one and it works well for him as well.

Pas facile a installer. J'ai réussi finalement avec l'application Android. Une foi installer ce produit est bluffant au niveau de la puissance . En wifi je ne me sert que de cette antenne pour toute la propriété.

Great device. Installing the software and tweaking the performance takes a little time, google and trial and error. Once you get it right though, it really works great.

There was a small issue with Password setup, had to take it down to reset after pass word update that initially went ok then wouldn’t work after Second time seems to be ok

Hard to complain when you can get a wireless mesh up so fast, for so cheap, and so easily.

On top of all of this, the resulting mesh network (I have two of these) has been rock-solid.

Solo tener en cuenta que es una version US, y si la configuran en mexico, les va mandar un mensaje que esta fuera de region, sin embargo, si funciona bien.

Easy to install no issues except that transmit power is 8db lower than the AP outdoor + which is discontinued. I used these AP's out doors at our yacht club and will have a better idea on it's performance in a couple of months..

I set up several of these for a campground and they are rock solid. They are not the easiest to set up, but they are packed with features. Signal strength is very good. I wouldn't use any other brand.

I am always having problems with the software saying it is off line. I also can not setup passwords for each signal. Nor can I change them once you run the wizard. Not easy to maintain and customer service is difficult to understand if your not a professional installer.

Used this unit to create wifi hotspot at campsite. A bit tricky to configure as it is web base access. Would not recommend to anyone who are not too techy.....but works great once configured

Added this to my existing Ubiquiti network. Not much issue and really boost my backyard WiFi. Another quality product from Ubiquiti.

Coverage is awesome and signal strength is good. Very happy with purchase

À la hauteur de mes attendre.

I purchased this device for new home after having used an Unifi AP-AC Lite in a previous home for more than 4-years.

Obviously, I desired a different physical installation this time around is the only reason for model change. This device is all I hoped it would be. It was easy to get up and running and provides solid service to area I was looking to extend wifi to. I was somewhat surprised at how small it is, takes up very little space and with the PoE, only have to run one cable.

Good product, took some time to configure, but ordinary in performance:
A Bell router 2000 stronger that this in signal ? In the same room?

Gave up on my router that needs constant reboot. Although these cost about the same as the high end wifi router, this is amazing as I install one outdoor and the other indoor. I also upgraded to ubiquity POE5 and use that to power these access point. I ran speed test and I'm happy. There was a lag when I first install but then after I upgraded the firmware it's superfast now! It's not cheap but I'm glad I did the upgrade. I had to run CAT6 cable and that's a pain, but now indoor and outdoor I have great speed! Yes, there are quirks on installing their software on Linux, but after did some googling, I got it to work. Yes, this is overkill for my house but I hope I don't have to upgrade for a while.

Tel qu’affiché, bon produit

I bought this to extend my wifi in to garage, I have two hardwired AP in the house, but garage and just outside of garage seems to be a dead spot so my wife outdoor camera will work intermittently. I got this one hooked it up to my switch and adopted and provisioned, the other two APs, under radios I have turned on Allow meshing from other access point on 2g & 5g. Once it was provisioned and adopted, I just unplugged the ethernet from with to this unit, and in few minutes, it provisioned and status shows connected|wireless, at this I unplugged power source and moved it garage and plugged it back to power source. Now my wifi camera in garage stays connected.

Worked like a charm for extending my wifi with meshing, I might just buy another one for my backyard!

Utilisation personnelle. Satisfait

Bought with a Unifi 24 port switch to use with a PFsense machine. Adopted right away. Unfortunately, Vlans on the switch are a little hokey. Not a lot of documentation. So the hiccup was my my fault. Had to reset it and it adopted again without a problem.

Will need to buy second for the other end of the house as my devices switch to the 2.4ghz band on the opposite side of the house. The previous Unifi AP Pro covered the entire house. Also, need to purchase one for outside as wall penetration isn't great on the 5ghz Band.

Otherwise no complaints. Been running 24/7 since day three without needing a restart or anything.

A1

Let me first say, that I did not personally do the setup of these devices (I have 2 of them). (I also have a Ubiquity indoor wifi antenna, that I've had for several years.) I installed them one the outside wall of my home and ran the cat 5 wire to the first unit, I installed the second unit 200+ feet away on a dock. The setup was done by my son who is a computer wiz. That being said, I now have a very strong wifi signal hundreds of feet around my home and dock. The first antenna, as I said, is Cat 5 wired to the router, the second antenna sees the first unit signal and then amplifies that signal and rebroacasts. The wifi password is seamless to both units and the user never can tell which antenna is supporting the wifi device being used. They work great!

Very reliable wifi especially for my 10+ SONOS speaker in need of stanle one local lan in a few rooms. I bought two.

There are no directions to install. You have to find help on Youtube which is actually great and easy to follow. So after all that i got it to work. However, the range is about 50-100 feet. When trying to use live chat and email all they do is send links to other customers who started a forum and you can try and decipher what to do. Customer support also said that there is no guarantee that the wifi signal can penetrate a window to provide the signal and that being 50' from another Ubiquiti device, AP-AC-LR which is long range and supposed to have a signal to 600', they say 50' away in direct line of site but through a window has not guarantee of working. So this device does not have a signal past 100' in 5g or 2.4g. Don't buy unless you can figure it all out, how to use the controller, set up the device and get it to work!

Only 2 units linked together; good, constant signal. The software offers precise control.

I've installed two of these at two different sites so far: one hard-wired, one relying on a wireless uplink, both outdoors in the elements. With the exception of a power outage at one site, both units have had 100% uptime since installation. Like my other Ubiquiti hardware experience, these have been easy to setup and easy to manage.
Please remember that these do require the Unifi Controller at least for initial setup. These are by no means difficult to setup, but it's a very different system than your typical consumer wireless access point. Also, keep in mind that this is just that, a wireless access point, NOT A ROUTER.
Ubiquiti gear is definitely the best stuff out there for the dollar today. Their regular software updates and on-the-spot security updates make using these for any setup a no-brainer.
The mesh access points are perfect for extending your network wired or wirelessly.

Altamente funcional

I have an entire ubiquity system along with an embedded controller so unlike most people, setting this product up is a super snap however this access point while very small and easy to mount outside does not appear to have the same bandwidth or speeds that the indoor access points have. It serves it’s purpose for a very short deck and a small patio in my backyard but I’m very disappointed that it does not have as much range or even at close range the same speeds that the indoor access points have. I tried every kind of configuration an adjustment but it just doesn’t seem like these devices are capable of producing that much bandwidth. I am disappointed but at least it’s better than no Wi-Fi at all.

Dejo de funciona a los dos meses no prende y ya no lo puedo regresar

Overall, this is a very nice access point. Physical installation took much longer than device configuration.
It is larger than suggested by Ubiquiti's marketing info, but still small. Body of the unit is close to a tube of toothpaste in size, plus the antennas.
PoE with the included injector is very nice. Having to run a separate 110v line to my install point would have been a major pain.
I already have a OpenWRT AP, and just needed range extension. Needing to use the software to set this AP up was a bit obnoxious. I understand that it has a ton of features, but I would have loved the ability to use a simple web interface for basic configuration. Minus one star here. As my main AP is not a Ubiquiti unit, the software complains that it is a rouge AP, but so far everything plays nice.
The range and speed seem great. I'm not a demanding user in terms of speed, I just needed extra range and this fits that need perfectly.

I will likely use Ubiquiti products for any future wifi install for friends/family. I'm impressed.

Love it, and cannot wait to continue building out the network.

I have a master's degree in computer science and I couldn't figure out how to get this to work with Ubuntu (Linux). There was a version mismatch with MongoDB in the software required to install and use it. Why do we need software at all? Why not allow it to be configured for stand-alone use via a webpage like most other WiFi access points do? I even tried hacking in via commnand-line SSH to configure it. It kept wiping out my settings each time I rebooted it. I finally got to where I'd have to re-write the script that clears the settings when I stopped fiddling with it. I was disappointed, frustrated, wasted about 6 hours on it, and eventually just returned it.

Usage domestique. Utilisation facile et efficace

One Eero Pro was MUCH better than this in covering my 2,900 Sqft / 2 floor / square / wood construction home.
Spent 10+ hours changing various settings but the best i could get was ~200 mbps in the same room as the AP, and 10 mbps in the nooks and crannies of my house and would often disconnect when walking through various parts of my house. Very disappointing being 1 pair of drywall away and just constantly disconnect multiple times a day.
On the plus side I liked seeing the detailed WiFi statistics of each device but that's about it. If you're a Ubiquiti fan, just go with the Pro or Long Range instead and save some money.

Amazing device.

These work great once configured but you will need to read the online help to understand how they really work and how to set them up. The leaflet they come with is useless. Depending on what you are trying to do they may not auto configure and then it's a bit of a nightmare until you realize what you have to do. SSH'ing into them to do a factory reset is your best friend particularly when they refuse to adopt. I have seveeral of them in a mesh configured for a client with a USG and the cloud key. One master wired unit. Covers a very large warehouse.

Very, very nice

Great product once you get it set up... I utilized unifi’s online chat to setup the device. It took several hours of work online. I went thru three different tech support reps over a three day period. Definitely NOT a plug and play item!! I think I am moderately tech savvy, but this was a little over the top. You actually have to utilize putty to directly code to the router. None of the YouTube videos were very accurate. When they talk about a “controller” they are talking about a program you download on your laptop. You have to set up a virtual cloud controller to utilize your phone to make adjustments to the equipment. I have not even tried to conquer this as of yet. The radios seem like they have a great reception and very low latency and packet loss.

This is an impressive little unit for less than $100. It is an enterprise class outdoor access point, for the price of a mid-end consumer router and it has the form factor of a long and large pen (or the box of it). For the price, it is hard to beat the value. I use these for testing out a hotspot service at a marina and use several of them mounted on the halyards and masts of sail boats to extend coverage. All units are heavily exposed to harsh weather conditions, including rain, moisture and wind. They have not been up and running for too long yet but they haven't encountered any problems under almost constant rain for 48 hours.

Before I go further, let me tell what this is and is not. First of all, this is not a router. It is only an access point, meaning you will still need a router that does routing, NAT, DHCP, DNS, filtering and access-lists (if you need them) etc. Most consumer grade routers combine access point functionality with a router that does many other things, this will not have those (at least without specific add-ons). Also, based on the reviews and questions I have seen there seems to be some confusion about the mesh capabilities and how and where it can be used. Some of the answers I have seen were not correct, at least not for the current firmware as of this review. I will clarify them here:

1) This unit will work perfectly standalone, inside or outside as an AP (without router functionality as I explained above)
2) If you have more than one of these units, they can form a wireless mesh network. One of the units needs to be connected to a wired uplink, others can be connected wirelessly to that wired unit. You DO NOT need an existing AC AP Pro or other non-mesh Ubiquiti AP to form a mesh (some comments, even some of the older documentation from Ubiquiti implies the opposite, which initially confused me. I run a mesh with multiple UAP-AC-Ms and they work without issues).
3) If you have more than one of these units and can provide wired uplinks to all, they will also work greatly without a mesh. Having mesh in the name doesn't mean that these are built for mesh networks only. Mesh concept is interesting but make sure that is your only viable option before deciding to go down that path. Among possible wireless topologies, mesh is the least interesting from a performance perspective. If you have the possibility, wired uplinks will provide vastly superior performance to mesh as each mesh hop will halve the available bandwidth. Mesh is ideal if you have power but no connectivity at a given location.

You will also need a controller software to control these units. Ubiquiti provides the software for free and it is available for Windows, Mac and Linux (Debian/Ubuntu). These are not configured from a web interface. There is also a mobile app which I believe can be used to configure them but I haven't tested it, so I cannot confirm. The software itself is also pretty impressive and is an enterprise class wireless network management system. I manage all the access points in the marina from a controller I installed in the cloud on a Linux/Ubuntu machine. Certain functions for the controller requires additional products to be purchased (like Unifi Security Gateway) but those are optional. I am actually impressed that this software is free to download and use when you simply buy a $100 device. To obtain any real practical value from the software you will need to have several of these units though. If you have only one, the software is probably not going to provide much value and may even be a hindrance. The downside of this model for non-tech savvy users or simpler use-cases is added complexity. Mobile app version of the software may address this issue but you need to check the reviews of it separately as I haven't used it.

In terms of performance, as I mentioned, I use these in a marina, mounted on halyards and masts at about 30 ft height. And marina is close to several industrial complexes (to give you a reference, 641 neighboring access point seen over the last 72 hours as measured by the controller software). As such, there is a high degree of interference at especially 2.4Ghz, also some at 5 Ghz. Still the performance is pretty decent. Longest wireless uplink is made at 460ft line-of-sight with default rubber duck omni antennas at speeds 117 (Tx) / 234 (Rx) Mbps, which is more than adequate for this scenario.

Default antennas are ok but nothing outstanding. If I had one complaint, it would be to have slightly better antennas but I won't cut a star for it, keeping the price point in mind. Also another relatively negative issue is the lack of antenna options. These are dual band antennas and there are not that many options for dual-band antennas to extend the range. Ubiquiti itself doesn't have a dual band antenna for these units as of this writing, but based on forum discussions I understand they are about to announce one. I didn't play with the Pro version of these units as their form factor is not suitable for mounting on boats directly but if you need a more powerful unit, that's what I would look at. They have more powerful 3x8 dbi internal antennas, their max transmit power is higher and they are 3x3 MIMO as opposed to 2x2 MIMO for this.

All in all, I really think this is an amazing value for an access point that costs less than $100. Prior to this, I tested a Open Mesh OM2P for a similar Hotspot use case. Total price for one OM2P with the unit itself, weather proof case and PoE adapter is more than the cost of this and it doesn't come anywhere close in terms of specs or features. This could even be a replacement for consumer grade access points as long as the user needs multiple units, is a bit tech savvy and/or is willing to play with things and learn. This will certainly be more complicated to set up and requires some technical knowledge or experience.

First, after receiving the package from UPS, I waited up to two months before I opened the box and tried to install the unit. I did the exact same thing when the first unit was delivered. This made a return hard in the case of the first unit, and impossible for the second unit. So not being able to return or exchange the access point is my fault and not Amazon's fault. That said, here is my the review...

I ordered one of these access points to extend a wifi signal to cover one row of my rv park. I plugged it into the power over ethernet cable and used my smartphone to get the unit connected to my network and controller software ,and that is where the problems began. The unit powered up as expected and the in-field set up using my phone was pretty easy and went without problems. The unit did show up in the controller software on my desktop pc, but was quickly lost never to be found again. I retrieved the unit and used a short ethernet cord to try to diagnose the problem at my desktop pc, but it was apparent right away that the unit would not power up. Multiple known-good ethernet cords did not fix the issue, so I called amazon and was given permission to return it for an exchange, which was nice of them considering it was well past the 14 day return window.

The new unit was delivered and I went through the same setup process as before, and that is as far as I got. The replacement unit was never visible to the controller software. I made sure the latest firmware was installed on the access point, and all updates had been installed on my desktop pc including microsoft updates to the OS and the updates from Ubiquiti. (Yes, I am aware that Ubiquiti recommends a linux OS), but no amount of testing and fiddling with settings helped, and the new unit stopped powering up a few days later.

The install location that I chose is rarely rained on, the insides of the unit were never wet, it was installed properly according to the Ubiquiti directions, and the software was functioning properly. I have years of experience with Ubiquiti products and I have rarely had a problem with them, so this is probably an aberration, but it put me out $100 and I'm way outside the 14 days return window again, so I can not order the access point again with any confidence that it will work.
