Tremendous wifi Coverage, easy Installation.

It is a rock solid WIFI Access Point with great performance and range. The unify software can be used only to setup the device if no other advanced feature is used like the guest portal (no need to have a 24×7 server). I strongly recomend this gem!

The UAP-AC-LR provides stable WiFi with a range comparable or better than most consumer routers, but gives additional control like the ability to create multiple SSID’s, configure tx and rx power, have fine control over channel usage, set bandwidth quotas and access restrictions by user group, etc. I paired mine with an EdgeRouter X to create a complete home networking solution with enterprise-level control. When considering this product you need to be aware of a few things: 1) This is a wireless access point only, not a router with built-in access point. You will need a separate router to route traffic on your network, and 2) You must install the controller software to configure this access point, and that certain features (statistics, reporting, manually applied user groups and the Guest Portal) require the controller software to be always running on your network; I installed it on a Raspberry Pi I already had, which works great. If either of these things sounds daunting to you, you may wish to consider the Ubiquity DreamMachine, an all-in-one controller, router and access point that also incorporates a firewall.

installed 3 of these at my church recently, they needed a reliable network to run sound from a tablet (no more hands on sound board, just one mounted in a rack with the amps, so tablet connection is mission critical), alongside letting the typical 350+ congregation get online if they need to download something, or people using the church for various events throughout the week. I am a network engineer by day, run a 500 access point wireless network with up to 15k concurrent clients, so I understand the ins-and-outs of wireless technologies, but really, ubiquity is simple enough you don’t really need to know much at all. Connect the access point to the controller software (adoption I believe is the term they use), create SSIDs as needed, test, and good to go. Annoyances I found – 1. Making even a super simple change to one ssid and clicking save, drops all wireless clients on all SSIDs. So when I would make a slight tweak to my guest SSID, and save, all the clients on the main SSID would also get dropped for 10 seconds or so while the changes are committed. 2. The disable broadcast option, does not have a passthrough for DHCP broadcasts, so unless the network is statically assigned IP addresses, I didn’t see a way to block broadcast and multicast traffic. I didn’t have time to troubleshoot this, but ubiquity documentation basically says you need a different system of getting clients IP addresses if you enable that option. Disabling broadcasts is a great option of cutting down on garbage traffic traversing the network, so I hope ubiquity adds some kind of dhcp snooping, or adds an option to convert DHCP broadcasts into a unicast to a configured router/DHCP server, or adds some kind of work around for this. 3. The ceiling mounts were a pain. These were being mounted to hard-cap drywall ceiling, I followed the directions to punch a little hole for the cable through where they suggested it, but it never really worked right. I had to keep cutting the hole bigger and bigger, since the mount does a significant twist to lock in place, and there isn’t a place for the cable to reside between the locked and unlocked position, and the AP has to sit flush against the ceiling to lock in the bracket, with no room for the cable. Probably spent at least 5-15 minutes on each one messing with it enough to finally get the mount to lock in place. Hope they re-design these mounts with more room up in the access point for cable to reside (cisco and aruba both have tons more room to fit the patch cable), or redesign the mount to click straight on instead of a 2 inch twist. Ceiling grid clips are also super easy to just tuck the cable along the ceiling grid on a drop ceiling instead of dealing with ubiquities model that makes you cut a hole in the acoustic ceiling tile for the cable, and screw through the tile with a clamp plate design. That means we can’t ever move that access point without replacing the entire tile. Overall- just redesign the mount please, it’s probably my least favorite part of ubiquity. obviously, being used to working with enterprise equipment, there are options, controls, and reporting that I would love to be included in ubiquity that isn’t, but for 1/50th the price (maybe slightly exaggerated), ubiquity is working as a great middle ground. Controls and reliability that are needed without completely being out of the price range of small non-profits or small businesses that need solid performance out of their network equipment.

Easy setup and great range.

Easier to set up and get operational than I expected. I am using in a home application, and disabling the wifi onboard in our cable modem. Much faster connection now, lower ping times, higher throughput, and dramatically increase range. The user interface is very powerful and has a lot of extras that are nice.

I got two of these APs for my home network. I’ve got a Universal Security Gateway, these 2 AP AC LRs, and a Cloud Key and everything works together nicely! They support multiple access points and guest networking for separating guest devices from your normal network devices. These access points are a lot more stable than my previous router/AP all-in-one and require a lot less overall maintenance and allow for a lot more customization and advanced routing features.

I use this AP at my home – I get solid range throughout my 2 story home and basement. I would recommend in a heartbeat. A couple quirks: 1) if you do the setup through your android phone, you cannot use the PC based controller software. Not a big deal – but just something to know. I resolved by factory resetting the AP and then using the PC software to ‘adopt’ my AP. I can then connect to the PC controller with my android. 2) If your PC is low on memory, the PC controller will not run and will produce an error at startup. Deleted some things and made 10gigs free space, and then ran without any problems.

I have a few of these new UAP AC LR APs on our Network now. I probably have a few dozen UniFi APs in production. They are amazing. These new APs actually Provision much faster than the previous model too. Gigabit connectivity is a huge plus. I don’t think the range is quite as good as the old LR model, but the other features definitely make up for that.

Good ap, easy ui. Will probably get a pro for the garage as well.

Had some trouble setting it all up for all my devices, but now that it’s all done everything works perfectly.

I have had comcast connection for internet. Comcast always claimed that I on my high speed plan but my existing wifi router would never give me that much speed. I switched to ubnt router and voila comcast’s claim turned out to be true.

This is the 2nd one purchased to add to an existing WiFi network. These access points were really designed for commercial use but for large homes or mansions, they provide the perfect solution for a great WiFi experience. Mounted on a ceiling, this unit looks like a smoke detector, and require no separate power wiring since they are powered by Power Over Ethernet (POE) with the included POE Injector. WiFi coverage is excellent even on the AC band. All optioning is done via the Ubiquiti app downloaded to a PC. An outstanding product.

I purchased the access point to extend the network in my home, with the intent to cover the front yard which I was having difficulty with coverage. Being long range I thought I could just place it next to my other router and enjoy a longer range without any significant effort, however I was wrong. I found the range is not any different than the router I currently have. I decided to take the hard route. I pulled a cable from the router (in the kitchen pantry) to the garage and I placed the access point on the garage ceiling. Now I can see much better reception in the front yard ! I don’t think it’s anywhere near the 600 ft the specifications say though.

If you have a small BIZ or a large home and you care about the speed and signal of your WiFi then this is for you. Some say that you have to be techie to configure, this might be true if you want to utilize all the features but user the smartphone app pretty much covers the basics for the average users, SSID (WiFi Name, Password etc) For more advanced users you have similar features offered by sonicwall and cisco, like using multiple AP (these devices) across your home or office and only having one SSID or WiFi name and password so users can connect to and move about and their laptop.. smartphone .. tablets would connect to the one with the strongest signal, you also have the option to create a guest SSID, So if you have people coming over or people visiting your office, you can set that up so they can connect and you can limit their bandwidth and separate them from your network…

I have used countless of these for several years. The Windows control software seems to be getting more cumbersome to initially configure because of their new emphasis on cloud connections. If not for that, I would have given it five stars. I’m ordering several more as soon as I finish this review.

Always very happy with all the Unifi network devices I have purchased. B & H website is clear, details are correct, shipping is quick. Fantastic all around.

Our house has shiplap walls and even potentially lead paint under the paneling, both of which destroys wifi pass-through even on the 2.4 band. I was looking into the Pro but didn’t want to spend the money. The LR on the other hand has the same number of antennas as the pro, but is not as feature-rich, more like the regular AC. So far I have been extremely happy as I’ve installed these for business purposes in the past, and as hard-wired extenders/access points go, this could not be easier. Simply run your cable, plug one end into the router and the other into the access point and 4 screws later you’re up and running. Got my wife’s computer from 4Mb all the way to the 200+Mb we’re paying for. NOTE: For home use, the hanging bracket doesn’t work well with popcorn ceilings. To fix this, I cut some extra 1 lengths of cable and stuffed them under the bracket before tightening. This lifts the bracket away from the popcorn for a more even hang and the popcorn doesn’t get in the way of the twisty clip.
