Very satisfactory product and easy to use thanks to the smartphone application. I'm very pleased with the product and I'm very happy with the way it works. It's very easy to set up thanks to the smartphone app.
Received a few weeks ago, I was able to put this terminal into operation quickly.
The pluses :
- Good range, even if not as wide as I imagined.
- Possibility to configure several wifi networks thanks to VLANs (Guest, LAN, and in the near future IoT for home automation)
- Power supply via PoE
The -s:
- Too many parameters/menus accessible in Unify Controller when you only have the terminal and not the switches/routers in the suite.
Overall very satisfactory product.
I am very pleased with this product, as always, LDLC packs the products well and delivers them quickly.
This access point has been in use for a few weeks now, and I am very satisfied with it. Excellent speed, stable and covering the house correctly in 5 GHz. The wifi saturates my 100 Mbps cable connection without any problem.
Very easy to set up for home use.
- The paper instructions guide you through the hardware installation, and end by inviting you to install a controller software on a computer.
- This controller sets everything up automatically after a few basic questions (choosing a password and a network name...)
The curious can play with the sophisticated tools of the controller, but this is not necessary for the implementation.
Beware, two network cables are needed (or one if you have a PoE capable router).
Beautiful design and easy to install on the wall or elsewhere.
However, admittedly, the advanced configuration is not for everyone, especially in a home environment. I guess this kind of equipment is more used in small and medium sized businesses and by network managers who can understand and have the imagination to customize this installation.
From my current experience, some features (e.g. guest) are only possible in an environment where other Ubiquiti devices are installed or require a pc/server in constant action.
From a usage point of view, it is really impeccable, I have a wifi speed close (95%) to the wired speed (125 Mbs). The signal range is impressive.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea to give it 4 stars because LDLC doesn't specifically mention the "complexity" of this device or its use in small businesses / families / ... otherwise, it deserves its 5 stars for the quality of the wifi signal.
Hello,
I think the 5 star review was written by the LDLC or Ubiquiti salesman.
In my experience, this UFO is a pain to set up and to get the PC to recognize. An instruction manual including a step-by-step description of the very first connection would be very useful, taking into account the potential that it may not work the first time depending on how the PC's network settings are configured at the time of first use. So, it would be nice to have some indication of how these settings should be configured. Not everyone has a degree in computer science with a network option.
Uses :
The first one is professional: to be able to remotely manage a digital mixing preamp whose wifi module is not powerful enough. So, RJ45 connection between the digital preamp and the UFO, then wifi link with a PC.
As for the power of emission, in free field, I could go to 30 m. Beyond that, it cuts, especially if the UAP is in a technical room, behind a door.
Second use :
Outside of professional use, I intended to use the UAP to replace the broadcasting of my Freebox, hoping, according to the technical characteristics of the material and the opinion of the technician of LDLC, a signal of better power.
Comparison made with the Wifi analyser app = the signal is not stronger, or even a little less :-(
Conclusion: Not good.
I can't give more stars to the LDLC technical advisor who invited me to choose this equipment based on the precise description of my needs.
So I gave it two stars, plus half a star for the design ;-)
This product is perfect for all sharing wifi connections. Really easy to install and manage with its intuitive web interface.
It's a very reliable product that once installed is set to last.
I highly recommend it.
It's a great product.
Thank you LDLC
