Review on Ubiquiti Networks Unifi UAP-AC-PRO-US 802.11ac Dual-Radio PRO Access Point - Single, White by Ron Long

This is no ordinary home access point; This is how an access point should be! The form factor, features, installation, and Power Over Ethernet support are amazing. I especially like that a "power injector" (like an "AC adapter" with ethernet ports) is included in the box in case you don't have a POE switch. This access point is designed to be flush mounted to a ceiling (or wall) and includes all necessary mounting hardware. You can rotate and remove the access point from the base by inserting a straightened paper clip (or a very flat/thin/small screwdriver) into the small hole on the side of the device, which will lift a small tab that you lift can the device. rotates and is removed from the base. If you need to use the power injector, it also has a mounting plate that can be attached to the wall so you can easily remove the power injector if needed. The main difference between this access point and a regular/cheap home access point is the following. that Ubiquiti products are controlled remotely using the "Controller" software. In short, the controller software provides a local web interface with all the GUI functions needed to identify, "accept" and configure an access point. The software is available for all major operating systems and even includes a Java-based version of the application for cross-platform compatibility. I found the web interface to be intuitive and fairly easy, but I'm a programmer/developer used to setting up networks/subnets. Regardless, the web interface is user friendly and I think even n00b can handle it. and use device information (such as hardware model, firmware version, device identifiers, device performance information, and device operating parameters) collected in a form that does not personally identify you.” There is no way to opt out of these communications, although you configure outbound blocking rules in your firewall to drop all packets from your access point destined for the Ubiquiti IP address range (52.8.33.107 > 52.8.0.0/16, 52.9.75.216 > 52.9.0.0/16), but many home routers may not be up to the task . If you're running a Linux-based firewall/gateway with IP tables (which I do and highly recommend), you can add the appropriate rules on the fly. Otherwise I love, love, love this hotspot and would buy it again in my heart. hit!
