What customers say about "Key Specs"

Ubiquiti UAP(US)-4 Enterprise AP Unifi Access Point (4 Items)

Signal strength was very good. I turned off Wifi from my DLink router, and removed 3 range extenders. It was still able to cover the same area with better signal.
If you want a simple, solid, capable wireless access point this is a great buy.
Can quickly add additional APs to cover a larger area and have them integrate with each other.
Coming up to about 2 year mark, it stopped working altogether. I was religious on firmware updates, and always checked the status on connections.
After installing and configuring it, my wireless devices got slightly slower network throughput than they did with my previous ASUS router.

What customers say about "Network Specifications"

Ubiquiti UAP(US)-4 Enterprise AP Unifi Access Point (4 Items)

The controller software is very easy to use, and you can flash compatible firmware as well.
You can combine these UniFi APs with Powerline Network transceivers in order to create seamless wi-fi in a large home without hiring an electrician to pull Ethernet through the walls.
WPA personal this is what most people want, a network with a reliable password.
After about a year of running smoothly, I started to get occasional loss of connectivity. A quick reboot of UniFi AP normally fixed it. The problem became more frequent.
This AP has a 10/100 ethernet connection and only runs at 2.4GHz.

What customers say about "Features"

Ubiquiti UAP(US)-4 Enterprise AP Unifi Access Point (4 Items)

Configuration is relatively simple, and the unit has a variety of useful higher end capabilities, including multiple SSIDs and guest networks.
Being powered by an included PoE injector means you're not tied to the presence of an electrical outlet when placing it.
To setup these AP's, you install an app (java based) that will find and configure the AP's on your network. The install wizard is incredibly simple and just works.
Will not work with most POE switches out of the box.
Always-on PC required to run management software if multiple APs are in use and tied together.
