Ubiquiti UniFi AP AC PRO 802.11ac Scalable Enterprise Wi-Fi Access Point (UAP-AC-PRO-E-US) PoE Adapter Sold Separately

I like it so far. Easy setup with iOS. Definitely included a POE adapter, so the description is incorrect or I was lucky.

The best WiFi access point you can purchase for the price. Do not purchase this for your house unless you are really, really good with networking equipment and can follow instructions and read manuals and use Google to help you (for your first time). Besides this device you will need a POE injector or POE switch. They sell another model without the E at the end that does include a POE injector. You will also need a Unifi Cloud key or install the software onto a computer, preferrably one that is on 24x7 in order to manage the device. Requirements aside some things that you get with this device1. Rock solid stability. I've setup these units in very large warehouses and the great thing is I don't have to go back and ever reset any because they crash. They just work and work and work. I do try to make sure they get restarted if I see they have been on for over a year but they don't seem to crash.2. Ease of use of DFS 5 Ghz channels. If you are in a crowded apartment you may not have any open channels on the standard 5 Ghz bands. With these units you can use the other channels that you may see some people using if you run a WiFi scanner. There are some strict requirements that need to be met and these units will scan for radar signals if you do use those channels. But now that most consumer routers are coming with 5 Ghz channels the ability to use channels that no one else is on helps a lot with speeds when you are on the lower end of the signal strength range. Of course out in the middle of a large warehouse you may not see any other signals so this won't be necessary but I see crowded airspace for those that live in apartments all the time.3. Pretty slick looking if you can run the wires yourself. This looks like a cool smoke detector in my house as I ran the cables so it's in the ceiling. If you just have this by your router sitting on a shelf it probably won't look as nice.Downsides1. As mentioned - harder to setup and more time necessary to do the install. I'd recommend getting the cloud key for ease of installation but then you'll probably also just want to get a POE switch as well. Also - if your router sucks and crashes these units don't crash but of course if your consumer grade home router crashes your wireless won't work for Internet use. So you may also want to invest in a Unifi Security Gateway as well as those don't seem to crash. So a large expenditure of cash to get what you need to set this guy up properly and to have a stable environment for it.2. Kind of not meant to be sitting on a shelf. No problems with doing that but it would be like putting your smoke detector on a shelf. It's designed to be ceiling mounted so sticking it on a shelf it will still work but doesn't look right in my opinion. Some people may not want to run cables to their ceiling though, or I assume most people wouldn't want to.

These work great. Low-profile, easy adoption, and PoE power make these a breeze to install ans set up. The most difficult part is where you’re going to route the CAT 6 if you’re not doing mesh and a plug-in injector. We’re running three, one up- and the other down-stairs, the third in a detached shop space. Good coverage everywhere.

I had a failing WAP and decided to replace it with one of these. No cloud key, as I have a lightly used server VM I could load the free software on. You can just as easily load the software on a desktop as it is only needed to configure the device. While I waited for the WAP to arrive, I configured my wireless network on the controller software and got familiar with the interface. The server was on a vlan and not on the network the WAP would be on, so I even setup the DHCP option for the software to be visible to the WAP, not needed if the computer with the software and the WAP are on the same network. When it arrived, the hardest part was mounting it. Plugged it in, 'adopted' it in the software, and it configured with the settings I already had set up. Cake. Makes my remaining old N WAP (had two, kept the working one UP servicing the back of the house) feel really old and tired. I was worried about that, I know that I will relent and get another one of these. If you are looking for plug 'n play look elsewhere, but if you are willing to install software and run an easy setup (this really isn't hard to do folks, name your SSID and set a security key) you can have a nice solid wireless network. No it doesn't look like the batmobile (some companies appear more interested in making their stuff look cool it seems) but it works well, I am getting a good signal much further out than the old WAP. Almost all the way to the far end of the house, where it starts to trail off from going through so many walls. My old WAP didn't even come close. I'll probably buy another... Disclaimer: I do work in IT so I am not put off by the technical, but this really was easy.

Bought this AP AC Pro along with a Unifi Mesh AP. Got it set up inside the house, and placed the Mesh AP about 30' away from the AP AC Pro, outside the house. Getting them to work together took a bit of effort with help from an AI bot. To be honest the Unifi support documents, and tech support, were less helpful. Their focus, based on what I saw, was "Buy more hardware" such as a console. Thank goodness the reviews here and an AI bot advised against this. I was able to get them working together rather than standalone by using the Unifi web server. As far as range, I am getting 80%-90% of original speed about 100' from the house, outside my garage. Inside the garage, this drops to about 50%-70%. Overall not bad. And once I got past getting things set up, I was impressed with the improvement in wifi signal and the depth of the Unifi web server. It can be a bit overwhelming for the layman, but there is lots of detail and information there if you choose to use it. I plan to get one more mesh unit and mount it outside the garage to boost the signal in that area. This unit will be connected to a wired system in the garage.
