Might be interesting to test how long a range you can get working wifi with some high gain directional antennas attached, and maybe even a pair of boosters between the AP and external antennas. On a quick search, I found some 18-22db wifi antenna options, and also a 2W 2.4ghz + 5ghz booster

@ShinyTechThings 6 месяцев назад

I was about to send more money to Ubiquiti until you said Wi-Fi 5. I'll stick with my makeshift outdoor enclosures for the regular U6-LR AP's.

@webluke 6 месяцев назад

So, it's an updated UAP AC Mess with the same WiFi specs. I helped build out a downtown WiFi setup, and we used 2 mesh APs with a long-range antenna to cover a city block with great performance. During a parade, the limiting factor was the USG getting overloaded.

Is the RJ45 port rubber sealed to protect it when used outdoors?

@davido1588 6 месяцев назад

It has a decent rubber or silicone seal. It's not a tightly clamping seal. There are small gaps, but this model is supposed to be IPX6, so, it should be fine outdoors.

@lawdawg1942 6 месяцев назад

The old AC Mesh sucked for range on 5g and they came in on that $100 price point. You could add a $100+ antenna to those as well. Never tried it. The U6 mesh is far superior in coverage and it's 4x4 mimo. Unless the exterior antenna is cheap and is very powerful i don't see the point unless you just need cheap coverage in a odd ball space.

@donien3113 6 месяцев назад

So can this be powered with a POE injector like other Unifi AP. Spec says switch....

@davido1588 6 месяцев назад

You could use an injector, but you have to understand there are different types of PoE and injectors. This doesn't use passive PoE (non-standard) like a lot of APs use. This model uses standardized active PoE, which is better in my opinion. Make sure your active PoE injector supports the 802.3af standard. This uses 44 to 57 V. I have PoE switches, so it's nice to be able to just connect this to a switch with one cable and not have a separate injector.

@brianvincent1975 6 месяцев назад

Nothing new to see here - this is the same feature set as the UAP-AC-M that's been out for half a decade. I always wished Ubiquiti would release an AP with two radios - one for an Airmax uplink and one for a wifi broadcast. Then you could stick something like a Rocket or Prism (or LiteAP!) in a central location and feed to an outdoor campus. More efficient than meshing and you could solar power them.
