Worse, I'm too far from anything for cable / dsl / whatever, so I receive my internet connection through my company's service, which is repeated by microwave on its way to a remote building we support. I have a yagi antenna hooked to a Linksys WRT54G router to receive signal from the repeater. That may not be much, using a G router, but the max I can receive is 25 Mbps, so this is plenty and that router is a tank. It's also already in place, and wired to my Tivo Bolt and Yamaha AVR through a switch, and also to my home network via some TP-Link home powerline adapters (which I highly recommend).
Anyway, the house is big and has a hallway bisecting it that is about 35 feet long. So I put this Unifi in the hall ceiling, ran an RG6 drop to the Linksys, and configured it. It took longer to run the cable than to configure, once I downloaded the firmware upgrade and the installation software.
The product didn't ship with software but Ubiquiti updates a LOT (a good thing if you ask me), so I'm sure I'd have had to update anyway. The Unifi-installer is about 160 megs, and the firmware was small enough to not matter. A word here: it will require Java to run the installer, so you may want to be sure you have it on your PC before you start. At least, that's the case with Windows 7 64 bit OS.
So this is running in my house as of this morning and it's blasting 15 Mbps around the entire house. Yes, yes, I know. Blasting? That's not even LTE speeds but for me, having survived a meager existence, eking out about 1/3 that most days and in the back of the house, nothing, this is a major improvement. It is the difference between streaming Netflix and Prime and NOT streaming in my bedroom.
Setting aside speed for a moment and considering signal strength, it is nothing short of amazing. This product is sending a signal the same strength throughout this house - regardless of how many walls it has to penetrate. This means that in a 3,000 square foot, 5 bedroom house, I only need this one device in my hall, where before I was juggling a couple of "legacy" routers and dealing with all kinds of downtime and latency issues.
So to the hardware and so on. This is a small device, about 7 inches in diameter and very discreet in a matte finish. It is mounted on either ceiling or wall, and there is the hardware to allow for either. Mounting is a snap. Four screws and drill a hole for your cable. Once it's mounted and cable inserted, it's hooked on the other end to your POE adapter and in my case, router. When it is seeing the network, there is a blue ring about 3" in diameter in center of the device. It's a status indicator and a nifty night light for my hall too.
Sorry to gush but this is a really good product. It's not for a person who wants plug and play. You have to poke around under the hood a bit but if you are willing to do that, you'll find this to be an excellent product.
The combination cost about the same as a mid-range wifi router (about $150). Configuration is more involved, but much finer grained control of wifi (and routing, but not part of this review) is possible.
REPLACING TOMATO
The Tomato open source community has been a great resource for a decade, and it's been a stable platform for routers starting with the Linksys WRT54GL on through to ASUS 802.11AC devices. Unforutnately, some newer consumer wifi products have closed firmware that makes Tomato more difficult for developers to maintain. Other devices now lock down the bootloader or use non-Broadcom hardware, which make open source less feasible.
Ubiquiti devices require OEM software (as far as I know), which is no different from a closed router. Unlike consumer routers, the administration interface gives full control of the device through the command line. The slightly higher level of IT skill required for Ubiquiti gear has yielded a large and large and active user community online where answers to most configuration and operational issues can be found from other users or Ubiquiti staff. My experience with consumer devices is that vendor support dries up fairly quickly once the device is discontinued. It appears that Ubiquiti continues to support its older devices. Updates are discussed openly by the manufacturer on the forums and arrive in timely fashion. When a PHP vulnerability from very old code was identified, the manufacturer responded quickly to patch it and push out an update.
The basic set up wizard gets you off the ground easily, as long as you're kind of person who knows the difference between 192.168.1.0 and 12.140.132.0. (hint: one's private and one's public). Actually, you probably don't need to know that, just basic familiarly with screen wizards, accessing IP addresses from browser.
Keep in mind this device is an access point only. It does not handle routing tasks that are native to the consumer wifi units with separate WAN and LAN ports. As such, the UniFi has just one port, for Ethernet. Power comes through the Ethernet connection, sourced either from a Power Over Ethernet capable switch or router at the other end, or from the power injector included with single-unit packages. Note that not all POE supplies are created equal; what an older or different branded switch provides in voltage and power may differ from the UniFi's requirements. I did not research this deeply as I simply used the included power injector.
I will continue to use Tomato on devices where it's stable and supported. The ASUS RT-N12, for example, works well as an access point and router if 100Mhz LAN and 2.4 Ghz wifi is sufficient (and when the N16 failed, I found that both Netflix and Chromecast were perfectly happy with this $30 router). But for getting the most out of a high speed connection, particularly with respect to latency, more horsepower is needed. Ubiquiti's gear is giving me that, even at its least expensive level.
PERFORMANCE
Range is greatly improved over all the Netgear and Asus devices I've had in its place. Latency is also improved. DHCP connections, particularly to Android devices, happen more quickly.
Physically, this particular unit sits inconspicuously atop a row of books high up on built in shelf, connected by one flat Cat 6 Ethernet ribbon cable. Another Cat 6 connection runs between the PoE injector and the router. The PoE can be located anywhere between the switch port and the UniFi. This means the UniFi can be set up without a nearby power outlet.
The UniFi allows multiple SSIDs and VLANs. There is a radio scanner that provides an intuitive and useful graphical display of deployed channels and interference (and a visualization of why 40 Mhz 2.4 Ghz channels are a bad idea in a crowded environment). The user interface is sophisticated and stable. The control interface requires a locally installed program (the "UniFi Controller" that then will use a native browser session for display.
WIth the Edgerouter (or any other router), some of the reporting features such as historical latency and throughput charts are not available unless a "UniFi Security Gateway" is connected. I chose to forgo that device in favor of the Edgerouter X, which was less expensive, had more available wired ports, and all the capability I need for my setup.
Top reviews from other countries
I have been running a complicated mess of 5 access points in my home, mainly so that my exterior webcams could get decent signal. In fact, each of my three exterior cams had a dedicated access point to ensure that they could send video inside consistently. Even then, it was spotty. I stumbled on an article about how Ubiquiti Unify was so much better than consumer grade wifi and decided to give it a shot. I ordered two AC lite models - one for the front of my house and one for the back. All of my exterior cameras are now working well off those two APs. I am so happy with the performance of the network that I'm probably going to replace my Cisco small business router/firewall with the Ubiquiti Security Gateway so that I can manage everything centrally.
If you know a bit about wifi and networking, I think this is a way better solution than the consumer stuff from Linksys, Dlink, TpLink, etc.
The Good Parts
* Performs very well in terms of signal strength and speeds
* Small and nicely designed
* Runs off passive POE and comes with an injector if you don't have POE in place in your network
* Comes with mounting hardware
* The Unifi Controller software is heads and shoulders above any web admin I've ever used. The amount of configuration and statistics you can get is mind boggling.
* Prices are competitive with high end consumer grade wifi devices
* It's hard to know which Unifi AP model to buy - I recommend you check out the Ubiquiti subreddits and support forums for more information
* Easy to find help online via reddit or Ubiquiti's own support forums
* Integrates very well with other products in the Ubiquti Unifi product line
* Guest networking works better than any consumer AP I've used. On all the other devices I've used, I could not block out access to my local network devices if the device was acting as an AP. You had to use it as a router for it to work properly. Guest networking worked as I expected and wanted it to with the Unifi.
* Cheaper than a mesh setup if you already have a router
Could Be Better
* If I'm not mistaken, the passive POE on the Unifi Lite is not standard
* The APs themselves don't have any built in web admin. You need to install the controller software on a computer/server or the Unifi Cloud Key (separate purchase).
* The APs don't do routing (not really a complaint but a head's up) - you still need a router
* While not difficult to setup, this product line may not be for people who are not technically inclined
Notes, Gotchas and Tips
* For most situations, you don't need the controller software running 24/7, only for configuration. I like the stats so I have it running on a spare stick PC that I had lying around.
* AP placement matters. You may need to experiment with the physical postioning of the AP to get optimal performance
* While you can configure the settings to your heart's content, the "Auto" settings on the Wifi radios worked fine for me
Les dernières versions intègrent la compatibilité avec la norme PoE standard ce qui fait que nous ne sommes plus contraint à utiliser l'adaptateur passif fourni initialement par Ubiquiti pour faire fonctionner la borne. Les deux sont permis !
Entre la qualité de conception (matériel et logiciel), les fonctionnalités, le prix …
les solutions unifi sont de très loin les plus adaptées pour étendre des réseaux wifi à moindre cout sans, concession sur la qualité …
Ce n'est pas le best du best mais le rapport qualité / prix / fonctions reste imbattable ! Du super matos !
