🌐 Enhanced Connectivity with Ubiquiti Networks High Efficiency Dual-Band Directional Mesh Antenna (UMA-D) Review

Using standard antennas with two UAP AC mesh models in an uplink/downlink configuration, the wireless link achieved approximately 30-40% signal strength with packet loss and a high repetition rate. I added one of these antennas to the remote access point and now the signal is stable at 99% (-45dBm) and the repetition rate has dropped to zero (although some packets are still lost). The channel bandwidth is 400 Mbps up and down.

There are several WiFi antennas on the market. This antenna has a beam width of 45 degrees for 5 GHz and 90 degrees for 2.4. It's small, about 4" X 8" with a well-designed spherical wall or pole mount. Silicone boots are mounted on two 12" pigtails with RP-SMA connectors for connecting an antenna and an access point. Built-in spirit level when paired with another polarized antenna. It found that an antenna connected to the Ubiquity UAP-AC-M, pointing at the dock 350ft, delivered 80% of the…

I have an outdoor campground about 400 feet from my home. I've connected this to a Ubiquiti hotspot and I can get a full camping signal through the trees and bushes. My upload and download speeds are only slightly slower than at home. This allows us to stream movies to a projector while camping in the backyard or just hanging around the campfire.

These are excellent directions and offer a HUGE signal improvement compared to using omnidirectional antennas. Now let's just place them on the edges of the object, not in the middle.
