Ubiquiti LiteAP ac 5GHz airMAX 120 Degree Sector AP 16dBi 2x2 MIMO (LAP-120-US) Review

We have been using these units for several years with minor service interruptions due to hardware failure. In general, the devices are more powerful than the competing devices, which we use to cover about 3,000 square miles in the mountains and valleys of southeastern Arizona. The only problem encountered was the device's tendency to significantly reduce throughput when interference was present in the area and not increase throughput once the interference was removed. Maybe the firmware…

I have 7 of these units, plus 20 LiteBeam AC units that look like cymbals and 23 UniFi AC Mesh units. There may be better bang for the buck, but 23 APs covers the dynamic range I need it to work with. Lots of trees and also to triangulate.

Be sure to read the installation instructions included in the package. I made the mistake of downloading the manual for this directly from Ubiquiti, which unfortunately was for a much newer firmware than the one it came with. One day I read the manual that came with it and was able to get in, set it up and update the firmware. I used it to set up an external point-to-multipoint bridge for Internet access to several remote rental houses. . At our site, it acts as a bridge to four LBE-5AC-GEN2-US
