Ubiquiti UAP-AC-LITE UniFi AP AC LITE 802.11ac Gigabit Dual-Radio PoE

These have been performing flawlessly for about 3 months now without any issue in our office. Couple of points: - You need the latest version of Ubiquity management software - They are smaller then the standard APs - No interoperability issues with a large range of laptops and personal devices.

Im not sure why Ubiquiti keeps receiving good marks. I have the Unifi 8 port switch and two LITE APs. I work in the networking industry for a living and I have never experienced more difficulty using a product advertised as seamless integration. The switch and the APs have no on board intelligence at ALL.They rely completely on the Unifi controller software to be configured. You may only assign an IP address and conduct a local OS upgrade which is more often then should be because the controller software has a lot of difficulty doing it. I havent made any progress getting the switch, APs and the controller software to function in a layer 3 environment. They all have to be used in a layer 2 network despite what you would find on the internet. There are a couple of pieces that are missing from this device cocktail. Unifi also has a router to integrate with it too. I already have a professional router/firewall so I dont require another. Vlan or tagging is a very old technology but Ubiquiti has managed to make it frustrating and difficult to implement. There is NOTHING intuitive about this product and online reference material is horrible. Its only because of the online community that I have made any progress. I dont recommend this product. I will look for other solutions.

Dont bother with this piece of trash.

This is my first Ubiquiti product and I believe its safe to say that it wont be my last. If you have dead spots in your house then this is the product for you. Great AP with great WLAN speeds. Pros: Its small light weight easy to install. Great AP with awesome speeds. Cons: The controller software can be a pain to use. However once its installed and set up its great with lots of features.

Works well and has lots of features, though all I bought it for was to have a reliable PoE AP. Range through walls is the same as my other tp-link APs. The only thing I wish it had (which it probably does but I cant find it) is the ability to name networks differently by to which radio they use (2.4/5ghz). I cant take away a star since it probably does have that ability and its really no loss compared to the massive feature set and stellar performance.

My reset button is not aligned with the reset button access hole. The only way I could reset it is to hold a pin at a very steep angle. Not being able to reset the device meant nothing was user-friendly until I figured out the problem

In short, this is not a plug-n-pray wifi device. This device is a wireless AP (Access Point) only. It does not route and does is not a cable modem. To use this, you will need an existing Router and Modem if you are hooking into an internet service. Setting this up requires less in-depth knowledge if you use the Ubiquiti app, which I did not. I did look at the app but it still requires a little more than plug and play know how to setup. I used the Controller software from Ubiquitis site. It is pro grade and requires a working knowledge of wireless/networking to set up correctly. Dont let all this scare you, get your nerd-neighbor to help you out, this is way worth getting away from the garbage all-in-one solutions like Netgear offers that are garbage. Use this and get ready for reliability.

I have 3 of them in my 3 level town home and the signal is pegged

I bought this to replace my old Ubiquity unit and wanted the POE. I gave up after 4 hours with tech support, not sure if it was defective or it was just too hard. About the time they had me install Putty on my computer, I figured maybe in 5 years I will try again. Tech support was great.

Great access point, simple and easy to setup.
