It supports the 802.11ac Wave 2 Wi-Fi standard with speeds of up to 1733 Mbps in the 5 GHz radio band, and up to 800 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz radio band. The Wi-Fi system offers simultaneous dual-band operation with 4x4 MIMO technology for each band. Install the UAP-AC-HD-US access point inside or outdoors (covered) using the included wall or ceiling mount kits. Once installed, the dual PoE compliant Gigabit Ethernet ports make it easy to connect the AP to the network without the need for a standalone power source.

The Wi-Fi system includes UniFi Controller software that can be installed on a PC, Mac, or Linux machine within the network, and is easily accessible through a standard Web browser. Using the UniFi Controller software, an Enterprise Wi-Fi network can be quickly configured and administered, without any special training. Real-time status, automatic UAP device detection, map loading, and advanced security options are all seamlessly integrated in the system.

Use the RF environment functionality of the UniFi AC HD AP to detect and troubleshoot nearby interference, analyze radio frequencies, choose optimal AP placement, and configure settings.

Advanced RF performance and configuration features include spectral analysis, airtime fairness, and band steering.

Use the configurable reporting and analytics to manage large user populations and expedite troubleshooting.

Wireless Uplink functionality enables wireless connectivity between APs for extended range. One wired UniFi AP uplink supports up to four wireless downlinks on a single operating band, allowing wireless adoption of devices in their default state and real-time changes to network topology.

Easy customization and options for Guest Portals include authentication, Hotspot setup, and the ability to use your own external portal server. Use UniFi's rate limiting for your Guest Portal/Hotspot package offerings. Apply different bandwidth rates (download/upload), limit total data usage, and limit duration of use.

All UniFi APs include Hotspot functionality:
• Built-in support for billing integration using major credit cards
• Built-in support for voucher-based authentication
• Built-in Hotspot Manager for voucher creation, guest management, and payment refund
• Full customization and branding of Hotspot portal pages

A single UniFi Controller running in the cloud can manage multiple sites: multiple, distributed deployments and multi-tenancy for managed service providers. Each site is logically separated and has its own configuration, maps, statistics, guest portal, and administrator read/write and read-only accounts.

The UniFi Controller can manage flexible configurations of large deployments. Create multiple WLAN groups and assign them to an AP's radio. Each WLAN can be VLAN tagged. Dynamic VLAN tagging per Wi-Fi station (or RADIUS VLAN) is also supported.

Q: 5. Is this meant for an office environment or is it also safe for home use? Also, I have an office separate from my house. I'm assuming I'd need to get a long PoE cable into the house to plug into here. How long can that cable be, and what type do I need to get?

A: All of Ubiquiti's Unifi products can be used in either a home or office/business setting. As for getting Wi-Fi in your office, wired or wireless solutions are available.
