Ubiquiti UAP-AC-HD UniFi MIMO WiFi Access Point with PoE

Product Information

The specification of the access point look great, and the mounting options are really versatile (desktop, wall, pole, and ceiling) Given that nothing is more thrilling to us than the prospect of faster Wi-Fi, today we’ll be reviewing the Ubiquiti UniFi AP AC HD (UAP-AC-HD) to see if it’s worth the upgrade from the UniFi AP AC PRO.

Use the legend printed on the Mounting Plate to select the appropriate mounting holes for your installation. The UniFi AC HD AP is the first UniFi 802.11ac Wave 2 AP. Combining the performance increases from MU-MIMO technology and the use of 4x4 spatial streams, the UniFi AC HD AP delivers up to 125% greater performance* than a typical Wave 1 AP Below are some deployment examples. For optimal performance, useMU-MIMO clients. SU-MIMO clients will also benefit and gain up to 10-20% greater performance when used with the UniFi AC HD AP. The following pictures show a earlier board revisions UAP-AC-HD, has an additional “QCA9889” 1×1 radio for spectrum analysis and “Atheros 3012-BL3D” for Bluetooth connectivity. Bluetooth chipset is different in UAP-AC-SHD.

GHz signals extend this circle out a bit, but with a few walls in the way, getting low SNR links and slow performance is likely. If there is clear line of sight AP range can extend much further, but every wall imposes a dBm penalty. Wall material and quantity are usually more important than distance in a home or small business network. ol_ath_pci_probe num_radios=1, wifi_radios[1].sc = d90c0480 wifi_radio_type = 2 subvendor = 0x0777 subdevice = 0xe5a2 The Main port is a Gigabit Ethernet port used to connect the power and should be connected to the LAN and DHCP server. These results show how the AP performs when it’s 5 GHz signal is hovering around -80 dBm RSSI and around 10 SNR. From the same location 2.4 GHz connections are stronger and more stable. Note for International ReadersSeveral weeks ago, we had the opportunity to review the Ubiquiti UniFi AP AC PRO which we found to be an excellent Wi-Fi access point solution for anyone looking for an easy way to significantly improve their Wi-Fi coverage, performance, and reliability in the home, office, or commercial deployment. That being said, you do need clients that are capable of taking advantage of the level of performance offered by the UniFi AP AC HD. Aside from the latest Apple MacBook Pro, very few other client devices support 3×3 or 4×4 MIMO, so your real benefit is the access point’s ability to support lots of clients rather than being able to get the fastest single client performance. Of course, the UniFi AP AC PRO isn’t the fastest access point Ubiquiti makes and for those who want the absolute maximum performance, Ubiquiti also offers the UniFi AP AC HD, Ubiquiti’s flagship UniFi access point sporting an even faster, newer, beefier wireless chipset paired with an even more powerful antenna array. It has two gigabit Ethernet ports. The 2nd can be used to bridge to another device, or combined into a 802.3ad-based link aggregation. This was one of the most popular access point from Ubiquiti. The nanoHD has a small diameter and great performance. The advantage of the nanoHD was always that you can get custom skins for it, and it supported a lot of concurrent clients.
