Review: Finally, rock-solid Wi-Fi. - I am delighted with this piece of kit. After getting a 4K TV, we needed a 5Ghz Wi-Fi signal in order to deal with the higher bandwidth required for 4K streaming with Plex, etc. Initially I purchased a Netgear router with all the bells and whistles for £149, which turned out to be junk as it would refuse to allow any wireless device to connect to the network due to an unfixed firmware bug, so back it went. Then I purchased an Asus router for £89, and this failed too! 5Ghz network dropping... yet another firmware bug, still unfixed. After doing some research I heard about Ubiquiti's APs. Since all I needed was a 5Ghz network, I went against getting against a router. Instead of getting a device that's trying to do a hundred things at once, I went for this little device which was designed to be an AP and nothing else. What a great buy it's been. It has performed flawlessly, with great network speeds to boot. Wi-Fi range with 2.4GHz is much farther than before, and 5Ghz is more than fast enough to do what I needed to do. The only hiccup I had was trying to configure the device, as it doesn't have a Web-UI like most consumer-grade routers have, but you have to bear in mind that this device is designed for enterprise environments so it doesn't spoon feed you in terms of setting it up. I couldn't seem to get connected to it on my PC with their management software (which uses Java) so I ended up getting the Unifi app from the app store on my iPhone, which discovered the device instantly and allowed me to set it up with no hassle. It comes with a little power brick to provide Power over Ethernet, so all you can see is one cable running to it which looks rather lovely. I have it connected to a router running DD-WRT with the Wi-Fi radio turned off - couldn't be happier. No drop outs, no fuss. TL;DR - If you want a Wi-Fi signal that just works, get this little device! Steer clear of consumer-grade stuff.
Review: Easy installation steps - August 2021 Well my joy with the UAP-AC-LITE lasted around 3 years. No issues with it and still working fine. Lockdown and more people working from home meant we needed to update which we did to a Deco X20 mesh kit. Nothing wrong with Ubiquiti. A little more technical to set up. Solid performance but was showing its age. The upgrade was to a TPLink Deco X20 which is wifi 6 this means more devices and faster speed. The Deco X20 has three units which allows more flexibility in terms of placement and coverage. It is also far easier to set up and maintain with filters and easy equipment grouping if you are OCD or a concerned parent. This gives more consistent coverage and faster overall speeds in this lump of a house. October 2018 Virgin Media user in a large Victorian House. Thick walls, floorboards and so poor wifi range. Bought to solve as fed up with plug in extenders as they work poorly in our situation. Its not posted anywhere but here is the 5 minute set up. Best to know how to configure your Virgin Media Router though as you will need to turn off its wifi signal. Download the Ubiquiti app to your phone Plug in the power socket Plug in the ethernet cable from your router into the power pack socket marked LAN (you will need to buy 2) Plug in the other ethernet cable into the POE socket on the power pack Plug the other end of that cable into the device Power on - device lights up Wait a minute or two Launch app Click on "configure without controller" Click on the screen away from the login popup, go to status screen Select the device (top line) - it will find it Configure the device select security rather than open and give the device the same name (ssid) and password as you were using before select save settings Log into your Virgin Media router You may have to turn off the Ubiquiti device to access the Virgin Media router Go to advanced WIFI settings Turn off wifi on the Virgin Media router (else some devices just constantly switch between the two wifis) Job done Once set up you can site the device anywhere that suits so long as it is plugged into the router and power 40Mbits per second on wifi throughout the house Fantastic bit of kit If you want more advanced features download the controller software onto your pc, set up an account at Ubiquiti Cloud before setting up the device. Launch the software and set things up. This is far more complicated than the app method which is probably all us home users would want. Hope this helps someone

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the difference between this and the pro version. Just speed?**
A: On the Pro, max speed is c.50% higher on both 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz frequencies. However, speeds on the lite should be more than adequate in a simple domestic deployment. In addition on the Pro both of the frequencies have 3 antennae for each frequency, meaning you have greater bandwidth i.e. more users at the higher speed. I have one Unifi AC lite and two Pros in use. In practice I find the range of the Pros is greater, despite the official spec being the same. The Pro is also physically bigger. Page 4 of this data sheet has a handy comparison table. https://dl.ubnt.com/datasheets/unifi/UniFi_AC_APs_DS.pdf

**Q: Does this support wireless extension of an existing unifi network without an ethernet cable?**
A: Yes. A single wired/primary Unifi AP can 'host' up to 4 secondary APs. A secondary AP cannot host tertiary APs, only wired APs can host.Unifi doesn't use the WDS repeating 'standard', it uses it's own proprietary 'Uplink' feature. This basically turns the primary AP into a wireless bridge, and the secondary APs into Wi-Fi repeaters. It's a bit cleverer than that though, the secondary APs can broadcast SSID's that the primary doesn't broadcast (although quite why anyone would want to do that is beyond me, it would be poor network design and only desirable as a very last resort).Bear in mind when repeating Wi-Fi networks that you're using some of the available bandwidth in the Wi-Fi band you use to bridge them with. This not only reduces the number of clients you can support in the band, but also reduces the total amount of clients to that of a single AP.Basically, Lets say AP1 is wired and can support 20 clients at 2.4ghz, and is on channel 11. AP2 is wired and can support 20 clients at 2.4ghz, and is on channel 1, total clients comfortably on the network = 40. If AP2 is bridged/secondary, it is a Wi-Fi client itself, and will be on the same channel. This reduces the clients available across both APs to 19 (but you get extended range). Now if we get mildly technical, my explanation isn't strictly true because the APs can support almost any number of clients. However, there is only so much bandwidth within each wireless band per channel. If all the clients connected to AP2 then have to hop through AP1 (because of the wireless bridge), it reduces the number of clients that you can serve a usable amount of bandwidth to. Not a problem for low bandwidth IOT devices, but it's best to assume that at least some of the clients will want to browse/or perform higher bandwidth activities. Anything high bandwidth like wireless CCTV or wireless music streaming/airplay, forget it.Whenever possible, it's best to run any AP as primary/wired. This is regardless of Wi-Fi brand. Hope this helps!

**Q: Is this the new version, i.e. with 802.3af**
A: I received mine from Amazon warehouse in August 2017, and it was 24V PoE only (which was supplied).

**Q: Not powerful enough to reach outdoor garden, can you recommend a more powerful unit without drilling outside?**
A: You could use the Ubiquiti Networks UAP-AC-LR as a long range option..... but let's be fair, why not go to the bother of using an outdoor model to get optimal external coverage. WIFI planning is important as opposed to trying to get full access from one or two ap's......if you can't get a cat5/6 to outside, do you have power outside. You could then power the device externally & mesh it over WiFi to get the coverage you need.... Hope this helps

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ WiFi woes a thing of the past.
*by C***T on 4 May 2018*

In one sentence: This is a superb product. Longer review: My Virgin Superhub is installed in a room with a double brick wall, effectively killing the wifi signal. After a few years of persevering with powerline extenders, and an el-cheapo access point I decided to tidy up my home networking and fix the issues of drop outs and poor connectivity once and for all. I watched a few videos on Youtube and did some reading and decided this would do for me as it was the right price and theoretically powerful enough for three individuals WiFi needs. I have a four bedroom house that is roughly split in two by the hallway and stairs so I decided to install this AP on the ceiling at the top of the stairs, running an external grade Cat6 cable from the router, through the outside wall an up into the loft. The signal is epic, and the performance doesn't seem to suffer, watching netflix on the TV, and two Echo dots streaming music. With my AC WiFi laptop I am maxing out my 100 meg Virgin connection when I use speedtest.net I did install the Unifi software to manage and install the AP - this is not consumer grade hardware and there are many features of which I am not getting close to using all of them. I believe you can configure from a mobile or tablet device, but as I say I didn't do this. Two or more of these can be meshed together, as long as the connecting AP is wired (you can't go wired - WiFi - WiFi), I think this makes them a good alternative to other meshing APs. I am very happy with this device, and so it the wife as it means no more buffering of iPlayer.
