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

Product Information

Ubiquiti offers a couple of UniFi access points that can be used outdoor. I have written a more detailed guide about the outdoor access points that you can find here. To keep all the UniFi ap comparisons in one overview I will also briefly mention them here. AC-LR: LR stands for long range. Features a better antenna that can reach further distances than the AC-Lite. It’s a good option if you are trying to cover the far corners of a house. The LR is only a small step up in price from the lite, and is another good default option. 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. Specifications Manufacturer If you are really looking for an UniFi outdoor ap then the UniFi Mesh and Mesh Pro are really the best options. Also, the FlexHD can be installed safely outdoors.

I made an updated version of this guide for 2022 and the Wi-Fi 6 UniFi AP models. The new version also has updated descriptions and advice. I will leave this old version up for now, but I’d recommend referring to the updated version going forward. Which UniFi Wireless Access Points You Should Buy For Your Network UniFi 6 LR: The long range version of the UniFi 6 Lite. Steps up to 4x4 5 GHz radio, allowing for longer range and higher speeds than the 6 Lite. This model also requires 802.3at PoE+, so make sure you have a POE switch or power injector that is capable of that.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Wave 2 brings a few majors changes which allow for higher performance. Wave 1 AP’s can only use SU-MIMO (Single-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output) to communicate with only one client at a time. Wave 2 APs can use MU-MIMO (Multi-User, Multiple Input, Multiple Output) to communicate with multiple clients at the same time — significantly increasing multi-user throughput. MU-MIMO also increases wireless performance and/or serves more clients at the same performance level. At any single time, a 4x4 Wave 2 AP can communicate with the following:

All UniFi Cloud Gateways, as of November 2023. These models are newer, and they all run UniFi OS. They have been called UniFi OS Consoles, Gateway Consoles, and now Cloud Gateways. They act as routers or firewalls, and also run the UniFi software applications like Network and Protect. These can’t be used with Cloud Keys, cloud services, or a self-hosted UniFi Network application. Several 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. UAP-AC-HD นั้น ผู้ใช้งานสามารถใช้งานผ่านแอปพลิเคชัน UniFi Controller ที่สามารถดาวน์โหลดได้ฟรีผ่านทางเว็บไซต์ของ Ubiquiti Networks ซึ่งช่วยให้ผู้ใช้งานสามารถจัดการและควบคุมอุปกรณ์ UniFi AP HD ได้ง่ายและสะดวกมากขึ้น รวมถึงมีฟีเจอร์การตั้งค่าและการจัดการเครือข่ายที่ใช้งานง่าย รวมถึงสามารถรายงานผลการใช้งานได้อย่างละเอียดและมีความสมบูรณ์ AC-nanoHD: Newer than the Pro, this is the cheapest 802.11ac Wave 2 access point they make. If you have modern devices that support multiple radio chains on 5 GHz, you can get some fast throughput. 2.4 GHz performance isn’t as strong as the Pro, however.These models are normally not needed in a normal home network or small/medium office. The access points are designed for a specific purpose, for example, to handle a high amount of concurrent users or to cover a large area. The antenna difference is important here. The HD will not cover as widely as an AC-Pro, or most other UniFi APs. It is meant for very dense situations, like an auditorium full of people. If you need to cover a lot of devices in a small area, these are good APs to get. They are great for homes too, just keep the antenna in mind when considering placement and quantity. The AC-HD is the top of the line for home networks, exceeded only by the UAP-SHD and UAP-XG. It offers the best speeds UniFi offers on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. It also features an antenna specifically designed for close cell spacing and vertical coverage, and dedicated hardware offload for QoS, Guest Control, and Client Management. 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.
