You mentioned the APs that included an injector could not be used with a PoE switch. That is incorrect. It depends on when the AP was made. I believe those from around 2016 or later can work with the injector or PoE switch. Also, 10° C is not 11° F. 10° C is 50° F and -10° C is 14° F. I suspect the latter is what you were referring to

Thanks James. Correct, a PoE switch can now be used with the newer models that include an injector. Also, correct where I misspoke the temperature.

Greetings from the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia. I've been browsing videos for days now looking for EXACTLY what you have posted here. I bought two Ubiquiti AC-PRO WAPs (They didn't come with the pretty outer sleeve like yours, but inside they are the same, except mine came with PoE adapters) I plan on using Netgear 8 port switches that come with 4 X 802.3af powered ports anyway. One of my Netgear switches already powers two of my exterior security cameras. I will use one AC-PRO inside our house, ceiling mounted in a central location, and the other will serve my solid brick workshop/shed outside which already has an ethernet cable coming from my router inside the house. Previously I had used a six-year-old Linksys Velop Mesh to link all our devices in both buildings. That was struggling to get wireless link through so many solid brick walls from the house to the shed. Hopefully I will be able to apply similar configuration settings, as you did, to the two access points through the control software. I plan on switching my existing WiFi off on my gateway as you suggested. So thank you so much for this excellent post with so many specific details! I have liked and subscribed to your channel.

@@HomeTechDIY Pleased to say that one AP is installed and configured. Had to download Java 11 before the app would launch. I downloaded from the site recommended by the Ubiquiti app rather than from Oracle where I discovered I need an account and maybe even had to pay. So I have open source. Working fine so far. My first install is outside in my workshop. Signal is detected inside the house but too weak (-78dBm according to WiFi analyser on my phone) Signal in workshop and surroundings is excellent (-27dBm) Have not optimised the settings yet. Firmware is reported as up to date.

Great video; clear and concise. I have a few questions though: I have a similar setup to you with two POE hardwired locations for access points (AP) and I want to have the same SSIDs for my whole system with the same passwords. Do the Ubiquiti APs enable a seamless handoff to the other one? Specifically, if I'm getting a weak signal on my iPhone or tablet with one AP, will the AP switch to the stronger one? My understanding is that this is the benefit of having a "mesh" system vs. APs. Thanks!
@ArtPopMan
@ArtPopMan 3 года назад
It does switch to the best signals, the problem here lies with the device locating that particular signal. For instance, let’s just say you have an AP right beside your home entrance and then you decide to go upstairs (where your other AP is). If your iPhone got connected to the 1st signal, it will take a really weak signal to automatically switch to the other AP, but if the coverage is moderately good, then you’d have to turn off and turn on your wifi settings on your phone in order to connect to the best signal. It’s kinda annoying sometimes but it takes just a couple of seconds.

For me it was very easy. I hardwired the additional AP to my network and the settings/configuration from the existing APs were transferred to the new AP. Here is a video of how I set it up. You could use another AP Pro or the one I feature in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OH2Dvqpy-fQ.html

I am going to be setting up my home network here soon and had a question for you. You said at the end of the video that you are going to disable the wirless signal from the router and just use your WAP's. Did I hear that correctly? Should i somehow stop sending the wifi from the router and only use my two ubiquiti WAP's? Thanks for sharing this video. Helped tremendously.

Yes, that is correct. I disabled the WiFi from my modem and I only use the WAP from the Ubiquiti access points. This is the setup I continue to use today, 4 years later.

I assume you connect the POE switch to the ethernet ports on your router. If you have multiple ethernet ports on your router, can you connect the WAPs directly from your router rather than using a POE switch? What's the purpose of the POE switch?
@HomeTechDIY
@HomeTechDIY 3 года назад
Yes, you connect the PoE switch to any port on the router. In fact you can connect the PoE switch to anywhere on the network. Like any switch, they act as a network splitter so you can connect multiple additional devices directly in to the network, but a PoE switch, or Power over Ethernet switch has the ability to provide electricity to network devices (security cameras, access points, etc). This eliminates the need to power them with a power adapter and run 2 lines to the device and reduces network room clutter. The access point in this video comes as 2 models. One that accepts PoE or as you'll see it referred to as 802.3af-powered which plugs into a PoE switch. The other version is powered with a 48V .5A PoE adapter, which is a power adapter that plugs into your network. They are normally not interchangeable, but Ubiquiti now has a 3rd model that uses either option. Hope this helps.

The UniFi controller is not required, but it makes things much easier. There is a smartphone application and a controller that you can download and run on a PC to configure. Once configured, the APs do not require a controller.

Routing is required, unless you have a closed network. If you mean turning off the WiFi on your original gateway/router, you can leave it on if the channels do not overlap the new access point channels, or you can turn it off to use only the UniFi AP.

Hi. I was wondering what the brand and model was for the switch you used in this video? Only see 2 videos on your blog for PoE switches and neither look like the switch used in this video. Also, what's your opinion of managed vs unmanaged switches? Thanks.
@James_Knott
@James_Knott Год назад
That depends on your needs. If you run multiple SSIDs, you'll need a managed switch to support VLANs. Your router will also have to support VLANs. With a single SSID on a basic network, unmanaged switches are fine.

One Question: Does it make multiple networks if you have multiple ap's with the same SSID all on 5ghz?
@edeaglehouse2221
@edeaglehouse2221 2 года назад
No. The SSID is independent of the logical network you create with the controller. The controller can assign each access point to a specific network (or network group). The SSID for an AP can be pretty much anything you want, but keeping the network name and SSID the same makes it easier to remember. According to documentation, UniFi APs can have up to 4 SSIDs, but having more than one will generate a little more traffic and slow down throughput. TLDR: all access points can be on the same network with a single SSID if they are assigned to the same network.

@HomeTechDIY
@HomeTechDIY 4 года назад
Actually a great question. If you are using a PoE injector (not a PoE switch), and you're connecting the Access Point directly to your modem/router, you can connect it to the LAN/WAN port. It will still work just fine if you use any port however. If you are connecting the Access Point to a switch, use a regular port and keep the LAN/WAN port for connecting the switch back to your modem/router. Hope this helps

The radio pattern from the access point is kind of a donut shape with the AP at the center. There is more signal below than above and extends outward. The best option is usually a ceiling unless you have a really narrow house and don't want to cover a next-door neighbor.

Yes, you can set 3 APs up with one single SSID and bounce from AP to AP seamlessly. I find that once I connect to one AP, I don't bounce to another, I stay on that AP, even if it's 2 floors away. I guess the devices think the signal is strong enough and it doesn't need to use another.
