UNIFI TRANSMIT POWER AUTO PRO
Please note that only Pro models come with two Gigabit Ethernet ports. If you want two SSID’s running on the same VLAN, it should be on the native VLAN only.įor a setup with VLAN’s, Radius and multiple SSID’s, it can be tricky, so check this:Īfter going through all those troubles I switched the “UAP LR” for an “UAP AC Pro”. Interestingly you can’t define the same VLAN for two SSID’s. SSID’s that are not tagged on the antenna will run on the native VLAN, otherwise you specify the VLAN for the SSID and off you go. You should define the native VLAN on the trunk. With Ubiquiti you can’t specify a native VLAN on the antenna. On my older Linksys AP I had the native VLAN set to 1 and I was tagging each SSID. The network configuration is a bit different to Linksys regarding VLAN’s. This defeats the purpose of long range, and you actually get a “non Long Range” AP by doing so. In order to get a reliable connection with my devices I had to lower the transmit power to low. Such a way of communicating does not even work in real life, right? The AP constantly “yells” while your devices “whisper”.
It is likely that none of your devices will be able to keep a stable connection with that. When you get an LR AP, it is set by default to auto transmit power, which is basically very high transmit power. LR models are dedicated to very specific use (think industrial applications). You can use your mobile phone to first setup the antenna but it comes with fewer options than a fully fledged controller.Īlso, with a 24/7 controller you get interesting features like roaming when you own multiple antennas and statistics.įirst word of caution: disable automatic upgrade! It appears the last two firmwares for the non-AC model was making the connection pretty unreliable.Īnother word of caution: you SHOULD NOT buy the LR (long range) model for residential or even enterprise use. There’s no embedded HTTP server or whatever on those AP’s.
UNIFI TRANSMIT POWER AUTO INSTALL
The one I really needed was the “UAP AC” model (dual band 2.4GHz and 5GHz) that is almost twice the price.įirst of all with Ubiquiti AP’s, you need a “controller” to install the AP. In reality, Ubiquiti don’t advertise UAP access-points so much anymore. I went (by mistake) with an Ubiquiti “UAP LR”.
My old Linksys access-point was showing signs of weaknesses and I decided to change for something a bit more professionnal. Ubiquiti Unifi WiFi access point UAP LR vs UAP AC Pro January 15, 2017 Ubiquiti Unifi WiFi access point UAP LR vs UAP AC Pro Sebastien Wains
