Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update: Almost 2 years later and 20 helpful votes (thanks by the way).. All are STILL rock solid. Do be sure to boot up your AP config software every blue moon to check for firmware updates for overall security purposes. Nice touch is you can implement a rolling upgrade automatically so coverage impact is minimized. I always seem to forget where the dang wireless settings are. Bottom left is your answer. I stand by my original review and will most likely never use another consumer grade wireless router again... Period. **************************************** Rock steady reliability and performance. I will let other reviewers state technical facts. If you are here, you most likely already know anyways. Rock steady Wifi AP w/802.11AC/N/G with POE+ 48v gigabit connectivity that looks nice... I'm not sure humanity can ask for more at this point. This WILL rescure you from the plague that is consumer grade WiFi. Configuration: Only goofy part is the Java based Ubiquiti configuration software and a laptop/PC/MAC that you need to have in your hands to access/configure them once out of box. This software is NOT required for them to function, only for initial configuration and administration access. Currently "UniFi 5.6.29 Controller for Windows" is the name of the configuration/administrative software at the time of this writing. I have now installed 4 of these at several locations. AP has 2 ports, MAIN (in) and Secondary (for daisy-chain) to another AP. Wifi Coverage is fantastic, aesthetically most think it's a smoke detector, and the blue light serves as a classy night light (can be turned off if so desired) FYI I have used BV-Tech POE switches as well as WiFi Texas POE 12-48v rack mount injector. Both work great. I feel it important to note that perhaps the average Joe consumer would have issues getting this up and functional. I am an IT professional with 20 years experience from wiring to servers so I had no issues. This is perhaps more professional grade and physical installation and POE requirements may push this beyond most common consumers tools/technical abilities. This is not meant to be sitting on a desk in a home. It's meant for ceiling installations. It does come with a POE injector which can reside patch panel side if you don't have a POE switch, which I thought was nice. I would like to request Ubiquiti offer this model WITHOUT the POE injector for less $$$ for those that don't need it due to other POE solutions that are likely already in use. If installing multiple AP's, you may want to draw a floor plan showing which MAC is located where BEFORE installation. The configuration software is also able to grab GPS location for each AP and overlay onto a blueprint drawing as a map within the software but I have not had the opportunity to test this feature (great idea though).
