A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

At the moment (December 2022) there is no stable firmware release where you could choose the AP mode, so register on the website of the official manufacturer and activate in your profile that you agree to take beta versions . by putting 5.6.3-rc2 the antenna started up in mode AP and you can build a bridge. Who is interested in blowing out of it at maximum speed - establish that you are in the USA.
for those who want to build a wifi track, there is a section on the site for this - airlink. Ubnt. Com

Pros

Good replacement for AirGrig 27dbi narrower radiation pattern (5~8 degrees) than AirGrid promised distance increased to 30km Low consumption less than 5W Perforated mesh for wind resistance. compact package, prefabricated reflector. miniature power supply - two times less than from previous models.

Cons

It seems that the firmware is raw, but it says on the box that this is a CPE solution. Urgently ate the firmware to the latest to activate the AP mode still promise DFS only three indicators (power, Lan network, wifi network)
