" ... UAP-AC-LITE 2 pack I'm using these to cover a 1300 sq ft house and two car garage space. ... This is all on one level and coverage is very good. ... This seems like overkill but is doing a good job covering the interior of my house and a good portion of my one acre yard. ... "
" ... I have one on my 2nd floor and it covers the entire 2,200 sqft house + half the yard on all sides. ... "
" ... Signal is as good as, or better than my expensive netgear nighthawk router, plus it is just about as fast as that router as well. ... It has worked well with all my devices, including my wireless network extender. ... "
" ... The signal is pretty good and it has dual band and 5ghz. ... "

" ... I bought this for my 3300 sq. ... ft. house to replace a Buffalo N300 router that I was using as just an AP, and it's a perfect solution! ... I have mine sitting on the floor in a corner on my first floor, and I get a great 2.4Ghz signal in the opposite side of the house on the second floor and basement. ... I may deploy additional APs in the future so I can get 5Ghz coverage in more areas of the house. ... For now I get a great 5Ghz signal when I'm in the same room as the AP. ... The tough part is playing around with positioning and tweaking settings for maximum performance (signal strength vs. throughput). ... It's definitely one of the most inexpensive ways to deploy a mesh network at home. ... "

" ... Super easy to install and setup. ... "
" ... The device has to be set up while physically connected to the same network segment but setup is mostly straight forward. ... "
" ... I would classify the setup as somewhat technical. ... "
" ... As many others have pointed out, you do need to know some basic networking and you do need Ubiquiti's UniFi Controller to setup the AP for the first time. ... Getting the UniFi Controller setup is easy (on PC or on a Raspberry Pi) and getting the AP setup is also super easy. ... "
" ... Easy to install and configure, and they just work. ... "
" ... Does require a Unifi controller running to get setup, but that's a small inconvenience for how much functionality it has. ... "

" ... Best of luck with this one on your network. ... "
" ... It has worked well with all my devices, including my wireless network extender. ... "
" ... With inexpensive consumer grade APs you typically have to create 2 different SSID's for 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz support, but this this AP a single SSID can run both and as your device enters/exits the 5Ghz range, the switch to 2.4 is seamless. ... If you want complete control over your wireless network and you don't mind putting the time into it, then this is definitely a good product to buy. ... It's definitely one of the most inexpensive ways to deploy a mesh network at home. ... "

" ... The management interface is much better in my opinion of other router management UI's i've used in the past, they have some good options around scanning the wireless channels and showing which are the best channel choices for wireless reception, ways to adjust the radio signal strength and other things that I have only seen on open source router firmware like DD-WRT and you just don't see on the consumer router hardware. ... "
" ... Comes with free controller software. ... "
" ... But then I learned about the Mobile App thats available now. ... "
" ... It should have the option to serve a web page locally for administration (like every other appliance), rather than requiring a third party or other software on a computer be involved. ... "
" ... I was able to configure it with just the android app on my phone. ... "
" ... This is the first Access Point install I have done, and with some technical background and a bunch of Google research, I have set up a pretty good wireless network using the Ubiquiti products. ... "
