> 24 hourJust installed this today, it took a million times longer to run the cable than to get this hooked up and set up. We have UniFi devices already, it took less than a minute to get into the console and adopt this AP once it was connected. Signal strength is fantastic, we mounted this inside a walk-in fridge (never gets below ~36 degrees F) and it covers the entirety of the walk-in and has enough strength to emanate outside the cooler enough to make the transition seamless. Very happy with this purchase! Dont forget to feed the ethernet through the jacket before crimping it!

> 24 hourIf you need omnidirectional and speed, this is it. I mounted mine indoor in a central location. It penetrates better than the UAP-AC-PRO, but still does not penetrate thick exterior walls in a busy signal noise area. It has a really clean look on a white wall. The LED light is not adjustable. It is on/off only and it is bright.

> 24 hourI installed this at our church to replace a 5-year-old single-band outdoor unit (the style with two goal posts on top). It was a fairly quick installation because all the wiring was in place already; I just had to mount the bracket to the side of the building with four screws in plastic anchors, and change out the POE injector inside from the old-style 24-volt unit to the newer (and more standards-compliant) 48-volt unit included with this access point. Once I plugged everything in, the light on the front of this unit came on, and when I fired up the UniFi management software it immediately detected and adopted this unit. Aside from being dual-band (which helps tremendously with capacity for users), this unit also seems to emit a very powerful signal. It is mounted on the side of a building facing a courtyard enclosed by three other buildings, and all of these buildings get an excellent signal from this unit. We have three other UniFi access points on the campus, including two of the original single-band style, and all seem to work well and play nice together. We have also recently installed a CloudKey to allow me to administer the units remotely. I was surprised by how big this unit is, especially by comparison to the unit it replaced, but I suspect the main reason is to accommodate a more robust antenna system inside the housing. It certainly looks impressive, and the church staff members who were complaining about the need for better wifi coverage no doubt were gratified by the size. More importantly, their wifi experience in the various church buildings has improved, so they are happy.

> 24 hourI’m using this unit alongside a dream machine to provide Wi-Fi at a fairly large cabin in northern Michigan. It took quite a bit of work with technical support in order to get the system operational, this unit kept dropping off of the mesh net work. Using nothing but default settings it seem to work OK with a few tweaks. Significantly less than 600 feet of service from on top of a hill, I’m probably more like 200 to 250

> 24 hourI have a lot of Ubiquiti in my home and have always been very happy with the products and their performance. however this UAP-AC-M-PRO failed to deliver. Testing the unit on my shed some 60 feet or less to my deck the signal on the deck with a signal between -72db to -70db. This is only marginally better than what I get from my UAP-AC-PRO inside the house through several walls! I played with both channel settings and also forcing the power output to default to maximum rather than automatic but only got marginal improvements. There is no way this unit would ever give 600ft range Walking around my yard in direct line of sight no buildings I never got better that a -68 dB signal strength. For reference the maximum distance I could be form the AP would be 120ft. The SFT Store charges a 20% restocking fee on returns which I will argue as this unit I consider to be faulty or not performing as advertised. For a $180 AP this is the worst performing AP I have purchased.

> 24 hourPurchased elsewhere from a highly reputable ‘photo’ store, you know the one, as Amazon never seems to have this in stock. Installed this outside in order to support my backyard cameras which were connected to a cheapo Joowin unit which was only marginally better than my Asus AX11000 router. After spendings hours on channel selection, using a channel meter, and different settings, this unit is far less powerful than my Joowin unit and even less powerful than my router - which is located behind my exterior wall and a total of 30’ further away! This is with the latest 5.43.43 firmware installed. To say I am highly disappointed would be an understatement. Im addition, while setup was fairly easy, total speed output was limited at 164 Mbps compared to my router’s 498 Mbps, even though I am closer to the UniFi unit. Again, I tried multiple channels and power levels to no avail. At this time I have no other recourse than to simply return this. Hours spent in my life I cannot get back.

> 24 hourThis is the first time I had added a device to my existing UBNT network since all of the software upgrades. I simply plugged in to the switch using PoE, opened the app on my iPhone and the system immediately asked me if I wanted to adopt the new access point. Very well done and an amazing improvement from the old days of the hit0and-miss adoption routines. Well done Ubiquiti Networks! The outdoor coverage is amazing! Every bit of the coverage advertised.

> 24 hourIve been using Unifi for a long time but so far these mesh products are garbage. The old outdoor AP+ units worked great and I have been using them for years without problems but they stopped making them. I bought one of these new APs to fill in a hole I have in my wifi coverage, but getting it to adopt was a challenge, and now, no devices are connecting to it. That makes no sense since the other access points are farther away and were giving weak signal, which was why I added this new AP.
