Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-PRO Dual-band AC1750 (450+1300Mbps) Indoor - Outdoor Wi-Fi Access Point, 2 x Gigabit LAN, 48V Passive PoE / 802.3af/802.3at - 9W

We needed an expander for our wifi and this was just the ticket. This expander is easy to install and setup and works very well, we use this in our back office and it goes like a demon. We now have three of these in our office, They are awesome. We needed an expander for our wifi and this was just the ticket.

This is a high performance general purpose WiFi AP:
- very good signal quality & range in a complex building (in my case)
- fast 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz throughput
- high capacity for multiple clients at the same time
- active PoE 802.11af
- 2nd Ethernet port to daisy-chain another AP (data only - not PoE)

If you're just after a high performance Access Point but don't know anything about UniFi then take the time to understand their Software Defined Network (SDN) - to get the most from this unit you'll need a controller (Cloud Key) and ideally their Router/Firewall (USG for SOHO and USG-PRO-4 for business). You won't regret it.

This is the 2nd UAP-AC-PRO I've installed, 1 at home 1 at work and they work very well with good coverage in a complex building with metal roller doors etc. All WiFi clients (about 10 concurrently) max out their own WiFi speed long before the capacity of this AP could reached according to the controller reports.

At work I use the 2nd Gig Ethernet port from this one to a UAP-AC-LR 25m away where I need a very strong signal and can't put a wired connection, this works very well - it does need a PoE injector to power the LR out of the 2nd port but this has saved me having to run another 20m of CAT6 (on top of the 25m) out of the switch. I have MESH enabled and clients have no problem moving between the PRO & LR.

Alternatives:
UAP-AC-LR is cheaper with equivalent coverage/strength but lower 5Ghz speed/capacity - more than adequate for home/SOHO use
UAP-AC-Lite is cheaper than LR with lower 2.4Ghz speed/capacity (for older devices) and only passive PoE (must use adaptor not switch's PoE port) - fine for most home & SOHO setups

UAP-NANOHD is the next gen from UniFi (Wave 2), a little more expensive, smaller and higher bandwidth & capacity (multi-user) - probably worth a look if you don't need that 2nd Gig Ethernet port
UAP-AC-HD another Wave 2 product and high-end (twice the price of this AP) with far greater range and capacity, you may need to check your switches compatibility for the higher power-draw of 802.11at

UAP & UAP-LR are entry level price/performance and only 2.4Ghz radio but if you're looking at the AC-PRO price point then these won't be of interest

Cisco Meraki is a similar offering to UniFi and I haven't used it myself because this came out a long while after UniFi

Purchased as many others to solve coverage issues in a large home. Set ip up very easily with the app. Then decided to go in & use the controller software. That was a little challenging to start but once I got my head around what was going on it provides all the in depth features if you're inclined.
Just something to be aware of, once it's running on a stand alone controller the app becomes useless if the pc running controller is shut down. AP still functions perfectly but is no longer viewable via app. Only way around is to purchase a cloud key or leave controller pc running. May be other ways but I'm not savvy enough for that.

Other than that I love it & will probably purchase another one for the back yard area to provide truly seemless wifi.

Awesome WAP.

Easy to set up via the app, installed within minutes Awesome WAP.

Sleek and powerful AP, with an easy to use interface. Might take some setting up if you’re not tech savvy but once it’s set up there’s no need to fiddle with it.

Great product, easy to setup, especially when you use it within UniFi UI. Great product, easy to setup, especially when you use it within UniFi UI.

Two words... absolutely amazing! Since installing, I have had no problems, wifi dropouts or issues. Im never going back to consumer wifi again. Two words... absolutely amazing! Since installing, I have had no problems, wifi dropouts or issues. Im never going back to consumer wifi again.

After sitching all other consumer wireless solutions I finally decided to install a ubiquiti setup. Been ip and running for a couple of weeks with no problems, dropouts or anything else. Best Ive ever tried. After sitching all other consumer wireless solutions I finally decided to install a ubiquiti setup.

Great device, wifi at LAN speed and super easy to install. I suggest using a controller from your PC to set it up. The App is a bit basic. Great device, wifi at LAN speed and super easy to install. I suggest using a controller from your PC to set it up. The App is a bit basic.

It's a cool product. Easy to install. Just make sure you get the Cloud Key if you want to remotely manage it or really manage it without a computer always on. And super easy to manage once it's setup too. Impressed! It's a cool product. Easy to install.
