The UAP-AC-M-US AC Mesh Wide-Area Indoor/Outdoor Dual-Band Access Point is a versatile solution for extending your network coverage both indoors and outdoors. Its compact design allows it to blend seamlessly into various environments, making it an excellent choice for discreet installations.
One of the standout features is its weather-resistant enclosure, which ensures durability in outdoor settings. The LED indicator is a handy addition, providing administrators with location tracking and device alerts. Mounting options are flexible, with the ability to install on walls, poles, or even high-gain antennas using the included fast-mount adapter.
Power options are another strong point, with compatibility for 802.3af PoE Alternative A and 24V passive PoE. However, some users have reported issues with powering the device via PoE+ switches due to its limited support for 802.3af/A only. This has led to mixed reviews regarding its power compatibility.
Performance-wise, users have praised its strong signal and ease of deployment in mesh configurations. It has been particularly effective in challenging environments like metal-sided barns where other devices fail to deliver.
Despite these positives, there are some concerns about product defects and return policies that potential buyers should be aware of before purchasing.
Overall, while there are some technical limitations related to power compatibility that could be improved upon by Ubiquiti; if you're looking for an affordable way to extend your Wi-Fi coverage across large areas—indoors or outdoors—the UAP-AC-M-US offers solid performance backed by a one-year warranty from Epsilont.
