Review on Ubiquiti Network airCube ACB-AC: Dual-Band Home Wi-Fi Access Point with 802.11ac, PoE 24V In/Out - OPEN BOX by Tyrone Narvaez

I started with only 1 now I have 3

Not bad apparatchik. It can glitch from time to time and I've had to reboot once or twice. However, they are flexible. I have UNMS just for fun because I also have ER-4 and ES-8-150W. I've moved from a wired home to a WiFi-only home. I originally got the Aircube as a single access point (instead of the old Zyxel) just because it integrates with UNMS. After a few months my wife started complaining about the wifi in the bedroom because of some devices. Okay, take another Aircube and plug it in there as a repeater. I wish the uplink didn't require 1 radio wavelength and only left a 2nd wavelength for clients, but that's fine. In other words, I use 2.4GHz for AP-to-AP communication and 5GHz for clients since most of the clients connect at 5GHz. However, since 2.4 is used for the uplink, it cannot broadcast a 2.4 SSID. Fast forward a few months, my wife and I have been playing other games over SteamLink in the living room, but network outages sometimes cause some frustration. Solution? Another Aircube in bridge mode just to connect to the 5GHz network and then connect Steamlink and other entertainment systems via ethernet ports. 200+ U/D is now stable on all devices. While I can complain about the inability to schedule a reboot or SSH access, they do a good job. Although yes, they could be better.

Pros
  • Normal price
Cons
  • Not bad
