Overhyped Performance, Disappointing Connectivity

According to my experience, this wireless access point fails to deliver the promised efficient connectivity for Computers. Though it boasts of 802 11Ac Protection, the signal strength is weak and inconsistent. The set-up process was tedious and the manual provided minimal assistance. The only pro I can think of is that it can support multiple users, but even that is hardly a redeeming feature when compared to its poor performance.

Pros
  • High-speed internet connectivity with 802.11ac technology.
Cons
  • Limited range for Wi-Fi coverage.

Outstanding usability!

I've been setting up networks (including my own home) with Ubiquiti hotspots for years. They are very difficult to set up and I doubt I will ever be able to train anyone else to take my place. When one of my customers needed an upgrade, I chose these Cisco 140AC and 240AC APs (240AC for the client and 140AC for me). At first I was impressed by the ease with which they can be set up - you don't need a special controller or even controller software on your PC or phone. Simply use the web…

Pros
  • NETWORK ACCESS: prioritize network access based on use cases (e.g. POS, surveillance) or guest permissions
Cons
  • color not required

Didn't work - Networking products

per year so decided after reading the reviews. My husband is a cybersecurity expert (that pays the bills) and has always loved Cisco products. At the same time, it took more than 3 days for setup and daily "tweaking". We have fiber optic internet and this has reduced our internet speed and kept dropping the wifi signal. We would have to reset it at least twice a day and wait almost 10 minutes for it to start again. With a pandemic, working from home, a college student and an elementary school…

Pros
  • PERFORMANCE: Enterprise-class MU-MIMO (2x2) performance that provides highly secure and reliable wireless connectivity for small businesses
Cons
  • Good, but not great
