So I installed several Ubiquiti Unifi sites with different access points (lite, pro and mesh m). I was very curious about these APs when they were delivered to me and I was able to get one for testing very cheaply. I ran some speed and range tests and my Unifi AP AC Lite that I compared performed it across the board. Please note that I tested on the same channels, same configurations in width and on the same client. All. I have gigabit internet. apac lite pulls 360Mbps down and 400Mbps up. This will be 250 Mbps down and 360 Mbps up. I understand they aren't built for speed, but they have a hard client limit of 50 which Unifi doesn't have. The cloud controller is cumbersome to use and I personally prefer to host my own controller on the Raspberry Pi. I was also able to get stronger signals and longer range from my generic AP in the same location. In general, a decent product from a well-known brand. However, I prefer Unifi. tp-link omada might be a better choice for easier and more convenient deployment as they are $20 cheaper than this one.
