Review on πŸ’¨ High-Speed Ubiquiti Networks Unifi AC Mesh 1167Mbit/s PoE White: Boost Your Network with Power over Ethernet by Chris Anderson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

NOT for beginners but works better than retail models

Firstly, don't buy this without watching Toasty Answers' U-Tube videos for the initial UniFi hotspot setup. Even as an engineer I couldn't get it to work with his video. The installation instructions are terrible. And forget to contact her. Second, it is NOT plug-n-play unless you already have a UniFi system and other hardware set up. Third, it is a business-class device. So be prepared to spend a lot more time setting up the controller. Software. If you've read online about the need to run a dedicated server, this only applies if you want to monitor or change things. Note. Unlike a retail router you can get anywhere, the hardware is "dumb" and requires a controller for firmware updates, settings, and SSID/pwd changes, and therefore iOS doesn't work without a dedicated virtual server.

Pros
  • Useful for more than intended purpose
Cons
  • Expensive
