Ubiquiti UAP-AC-M UniFi AC Outdoor Mesh, Black

Product Information

Note: This can only be done by the account owner and requires them to have previously signed into the mobile app while the device was managed. With supports for multi-hop meshing the UniFi AC Mesh can be deployed just about anywhere without each access point requiring existing data infrastructure. Just connect an 24v Passive or 802.3af power supply and ensure the device is with range of another access point and the UAP-AC-M can start extending existing Wi-Fi coverage.

With the UniFi controller software you can create a highly scalable, end-to-end system of devices spanning multiple locations across the world — all controlled by a single interface accessed via the Internet or local network. For the best setup experience, we recommend updating to the latest version and ensuring that automatic updates are enabled. Open All Required Ports Although you can uplink one wireless AP to another wireless AP, this is not recommended. Each wireless 'hop' from its internet source will reduce stability, and will also result in nearly 50% performance decrease. Due to this, we recommend a maximum of only two hops for a wireless AP. Minimize the number of APs connected to the same uplink 'parent.' This is the most common problem for users self hosting the UniFi Network Server, especially those using Windows.All UniFi devices can be restored to their factory defaults via their respective web or mobile applications. This is located in the Manage section of a device’s settings. Depending on the application, this may be referred to as Forget (UniFi Network) or Unmanage (UniFi Protect). Standalone Mode should only be used when configuring a small quantity of APs because they do not support seamless roaming. Instead, you will need to manually connect to each AP as you move out of range. Also, APs must have a wired connection to your network; wireless meshing is not possible. Finally, remote management is not possible because it is done entirely through the UniFi Mobile app while locally connected to your WiFi.

Factory reset the device by holding the power button for 10 seconds, or until the light begins flashing. A factory reset is useful for a creating fresh setup of a UniFi Console, or device that was already configured in a managed state. Restoring with the Reset Button Two adjustable external omni antennas are included with the UniFi AC Mesh Access Point. There is also the option to expand the coverage range and customise pattern shaping by using the included fast-mount adapter to install the AP on an optional connectorised antenna.

What is a Mesh Network? 

Note: Both APs must use the same channel or else you risk breaking your meshed connection . Make sure you have a suitable RF environment before using wireless meshing. The Ubiquiti UniFi AC Mesh Wi-Fi Access Point is a simultaneous dual-band, 2x2 MIMO meshing access point designed specifically for large indoor and outdoor deployments. Capable of speeds up to 1200Mbps and supporting up to 100 clients per AP, the UAP-AC-M is perfect for demanding environments such as public parks, shopping centres or for providing whole campus Wi-Fi. Selecting this option will unmanage the device from your UniFi Console and restore the device to a factory default state. UniFi Consoles The quoted wireless specification is given as the maximum radio performance. Achievable range and throughput will vary depending on the regional regulations where the radio is deployed.
