Great Performance, Easy Install, Pleasant Appearance, Supports UASP
930571
Pros:
Works very well
Good aesthetics
Easy to install the drive - No tools!

Cons:
It's all plastic so it doesn't feel as nice in your hand or cool as well as an aluminum chassis unit would. However, for the price it's spot on.

I'm using this with a SanDisk Ultra II 480GB SSD (SDSSDHII-480G-G25) to a USB 3.0 controller that supports UASP. The drive is formatted NTFS with Bitlocker enabled (Xeon E3-1246v3 which supports AES-NI). I run 4-6 VMs off the drive at a time and it works fantastically - no user noticable impact to performance compared to when the drive was connected internally via SATA III.

On Windows Server 2012 R2 via HDTune Pro:
4K reads: 400MB/s 24K IOPS
4K writes: 375MB/s 37K IOPS

TRIM is properly supported. I'm seeing temperatures of around 34C (93F) under load on the drive, which is 14C (25F) above ambient. The SanDisk SSD Dashboard sees the drive just fine and can update the firmware and kick off TRIM, grab performance metrics etc.

Ordered two more of these (already had two) to use in our church as APs. They install very easily and I really like the Power-over-Ethernet option included in the packed. I was able to set them up and then deploy them very quickly.

These were version 3, which didn't seem very different from vs 2. After installing these, I initially had an issue with strange IGMP packets on the network. However, I did the firmware upgrade and everything was resolved. I was able to do the upgrade remotely from my desktop without having to retrieve each unit and then reinstall it (nice since one it about 30 feet in the air on a wall!).  Will buy more if I need to expand.

I bought this SRX5308 to replace an old FVX538 v1 router, and after a couple months I can say that I am pleased with the stability of this device. The SRX5308 can handle loads more simultaneous connections (200K+), and that connection limitation was causing hanging on the FVX538 as the device is used as a firewall & NAT router for a dozen servers in a datacenter. The SRX5308 has not needed a reboot once in 2 months, which says much since I have gone through 2 Linksys (RV042, RV082) and one other Netgear (FVX538) router previously as those were hanging every other day or more often.

The web-based management interface works well and I am mainly using the firewall services and NAT functionality, so I can't comment on the VPN or load balancing functionality.

I would just give 4 stars, but when I contacted Netgear for support (apparently there is 90 days free support) they were very responsive and promised a fix for my needs (more WAN secondary IPs supported) in the next firmware update. The hardware has lifetime warranty, and I have no doubt Netgear will honor this as they have promptly replaced other units that I have sent in.

I bought this to replace an Apple Airport that died an early death.

Setup was easy as soon as I figured how to bypass the "wizard"--more like a junior apprentice, really. It falsely claimed that my ISP gives me a static IP address. Had I followed along, it probably would have worked for a while and then failed mysteriously. The cheat sheet has bypass instructions, and then the setup is very nice. It is completely web-based without forcing you to install any software on your computer.

I run Linux, Mac and Windows, and all connect just fine.

The range improved nicely, as advertised. Having internal antennas is an advantage--one less thing to break.

The only irritation are those blinking blue lights that you cannot turn off. (I read that you can open the box and disconnect the ribbon cable, but that seems a drastic step.) Covering them with cardboard is not a perfect remedy since light still emanates from the air vents.

In summary: (1) DO NOT install the CD (2) DO NOT use the "wizard"; go directly to the advanced setup (3) Wear dark sunglasses when facing the device

This is awesome. Right out of the box, I joined it to my Unifi console and upgraded the firmware. Once that was done, I logged into the console and changed the Lan2 to Wan2 for Dual Wan fail-over with no problem. I changed the subnet of the router and setup a site-to-site VPN to an older Cisco RV042G router with no issues. I did lose connection once and had to reboot the router, but that was not a problem with how easy the setup went.  Tested fail-over with success. The router takes 3 minutes to reboot.

I bought this board to replace an aging VIA CN13000G mini-ITX board I had been using since 2010 as a firewall for my personal Internet connection.  While I cannot vouch for this board's use as a desktop motherboard, for what I intended it for it's got 5 stars if not more.  It easily updated it's BIOS with the latest on Intel's website without much of a fuss.  Has a quality UEFI firmware with really nice unexpected features that make this thing a joy to work with unlike the buggy classic BIOS the old VIA CN13000G had that couldn't even properly boot from USB even though it claimed to be able to.

I went from a single core 32bit only 1.3GHz VIA C7 with a 100Mbps LAN port for the Internet WAN connection to a dual core 64bit 1.86GHz fanless CPU with dual onboard PCI-Ex Intel branded GbE NICs (my preferred).  I run OpenBSD on it happily and it gives me no issues and runs considerably faster than the old VIA C7 setup.  I had no idea my Internet was being bottle knecked by the old C7's slower under-performing CPU and the 100Mbps WAN port.  After getting this board installed I speed test easily over 120Mbps+  and am barely causing it to break a sweat.  Very much satisfied with this unit and can see it will easily last me another 5 years if the VIA unit could last that long.  Highly recommended for the price if you're use case scenario is similar to mine.

The EAP110 is a good wireless AP, especially for the price. Great coverage and relatively stable operation. Though there are some issues you need to be aware and consider before deciding on this product.

The EAP110 is pretty easy to install. It comes with a passive PoE injector to supply power into the LAN cable so that you have a single cable to the AP for simple and unobtrusive installation. However, it is not a true PoE device (that is, not 802.3af compliant). You have to use the passive PoE injector. The injector appears to be well made and has a LAN input port, a PoE output port and a detachable power cord. Only the upgraded models such as the EAP120 and EAP220 are 802.3af compliant, which can be powered by either PoE or the separate power jack from an external power adapter.

The EAP Controller Software is for Windows only. It is a software tool that allows easy setup and management of EAP devices in an enterprise network. Configuring your EAP device using the tool will disable the web UI of the EAP. The software is most useful if you have multiple EAP devices in your network that you want to manage centrally. If you have only one or two EAP's in a home or small business environment, or mostly a Mac or Linux user, it may be easier to leave it in standalone mode (that is, web UI enabled). You can use the tool to set it up and then revert it back to standalone mode, or just set it up directly if you know its IP address. In my case, since I could find out the IP address from my router, I went to its web UI and set it up directly.

The EAP110 isn't the most impressive in terms of throughput for a N300 AP. The network latency is pretty high for what is advertised as an enterprise AP. Pinging through the EAP is consistently slower than the rest of the network that it is connected to. Not sure why. If you're not looking for the fastest throughput (for online gaming, etc), it is decent enough. I have been using it for emails, surfing the web, listening to streamed music and watching full HD movies without any problems.

Coverage is pretty good for a 2.4GHz wireless-N AP. I have it installed close to the center of the house and it covers most of the previous dead spots adequately. Also, I haven't noticed any connection drops so far. It runs pretty smoothly and seems stable enough.

There are some good enterprise-level features offered here. For instances, the EAP supports up to 8 separate SSIDs with optional isolation for different users. SSID to VLAN Mapping. Wireless/reboot schedule. Captive portal (for WiFi guests to log in before network access is allowed). Quite a handful of bells and whistles. They are there if you ever need them.

All in all, the EAP110 is a pretty good wireless AP. It isn't the most featured or the fastest in the market but it is inexpensive. For the price, it's a good wireless AP to consider.

Solid performer, easy connection with other Ubiquiti gear

I have this mounted on a 2nd floor ceiling in a typical wood-framed home sitting on an acre lot. I configured the unit as an access point using WPA2-PSK AES security (there are options for various mixed modes and encryption to support older devices - if you must). I have two SSIDs on each band (named identically) with the "band steer" setting enabled. I find the range (which extends beyond the edges of my property, and safely into my full basement) to more than meet my needs. The speed is decent, too. I use the PoE injector since my switch is a simple unmanaged GbE switch.
Configuration through the webserver GUI is pretty straightforward. It warns you if you choose less than optimal security settings. As you make changes, the Save/Reload item on the top left indicates the number of changes you've made. When you want to save them, click on that item and the EAP600 saves the settings and reloads. No need to re-open your browser, afterwards, either! I have mine syslog to my NAS. There is also SNMP (and SNMPv3) functionality.
There is also a command-line option. One can easily save off the configuration to your computer as a compressed .tar file. Updating firmware was simple (I'm currently using 1.6.8), but one needs to get the firmware from the EnGenius website, you cannot download it directly. I did not set up VLANs and spanning tree, so I cannot comment on those features.
I'd give this a 5-star rating except for a couple of "minor" things. First, one cannot use https to access the device, it must be insecure http. And, one can telnet to the device. Considering the security settings for wireless, I find the lack of SSH and HTTPS and the inability to block telnet and http to be somewhat odd considering the SNMPv3 support (which I haven't tried yet).
For the money, I'm really quite happy. Other than the minor admin access security robustness, I really like this.
===============
Update 27 MAR 2016:
I'm running firmware version 1.6.37 now. Overall, still quite happy with my purchase. Still rather stunned that there is no SSH access (over using telnet), and no HTTPS access. Even the website says:
  Configuration
  Web-based configuration (http)/Telnet

  Telnet Server
  CLI
Yet, there is SNMPv3 access. Go figure.
===============
25 Oct 2016:
After that huge DDoS attack on Dyn, I do hope that the folks at Engenius get their act together and block http and telnet in favor of https and ssh (and require default access be changed when first logging in to install).
I still like the performance of my set-up.

I wish I bought the one with the external antenna, which is why I give this only 4 stars. Still, this WiFi is VERY stable, and I was able to easily upgrade the software onboard. It can run off normal OpenWRT (it comes with a modified version from the OEM), and it's easy to upgrade it to vanilla. Everything works fine out of the box though - I just figured I'd install the OS clean to make sure I wasn't introducing any security hazards. It's completely usable with the OEM software, still has the package manager and the OpenWRT OS.

This easy to set-up USB3 card provides high throughput, works without a problem with self-powered USB devices, and is fully compatible with FreeBSD.

Sustained throughput is impressive.  Using the same hardware that topped out at 30MiB/sec on USB2 (various drives inserted into a&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/USB3-Plugable-SATA-dock/dp/B003UI62AG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">USB3 Plugable SATA dock</a>), I was able to get sustained write speeds that were constrained by the HDD hardware rather than by the USB connection, ranging from twice as fast (60MiB/sec on a years-old Seagate 7200.11) to as much as 120MiB/sec on a new&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Seagate-3TB-ST3000DM001/dp/B005T3GRLY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Seagate 3TB ST3000DM001</a>.  Actual write speeds fluctuated depending on the source, and where on the drive I was writing (platter-based drives are "faster" on the outside of the platter than the inner part, as one would expect for a spinning disc). On the slower drive, speeds averaged 70-80Mib/sec versus 95-110Mib/sec on the faster drive.  It's refreshing to be limited by the disk rather than the bus.

The USB3 ports light up when the system is powered up.  Make sure to use USB3 cables.

Under FreeBSD, this card uses the XHCI driver which I had to load manually but required no configuration (under 8.3-RELEASE).  Presumably Linux compatibility would be just as easy.

The card doesn't require an additional power connector like other models I considered.  That makes for simpler installation (and presumably lower power draw), but also means this card can not power USB-powered devices like portable HDD-- I tried with the<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Seagate-Expansion-500GB-STBX500100/dp/B00834SJSK/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Seagate Expansion 500GB STBX500100</a>&nbsp;and it did nothing-- the USB port lights on the back of the card winked out, and the driver did not see the device.

Other thoughts: All PCIe x1 cards (like this one) will fit in any size PCIe slot (x1, x4, x8, x16).  Just two onboard USB ports means it would be difficult (but not theoretically impossible) for attached loads to saturate the card's single PCIe x1 "lane" (as far as PCIe 2.x goes).

Recommended.

The UBIQUITI Networkes UniFi AP Ac Pro Access Point is an excellent product.  This was probably the easiest computer-related product I ever installed.  I received the Cloud Key, Switch 8, and AP Ac Pro at the same time.  They were all simple to connect and compatible.  I like that the AP Ac Pro works both indoors and outdoors.  I also like that it features both a 5 GHz Band with speeds of up to 1300 Mbps and 2.4 GHz Band with speeds of up to 450 Mbps.

The packaging was well designed, containing a lot of product information that could be referenced.  The manuals are easy to follow and well-illustrated.  It gives very detailed information that is comprehendible.

The hardware is beautifully constructed.  I like the clean streamline design.  It is a product you don't mind being on display.  The materials seem to be top quality.  It is nice that they include both ceiling, and wall mounted options.  I powered my UniFi AP Ac Pro through a UBIQUITI Networkes UniFi Switch 8.

The software downloaded quickly and is extremely user friendly.  I use Microsoft Windows 10 and Google Chrome.  There is a UBNT Discovery app for Chrome, which works great to help with the installation.  I used the UniFi Installation Wizard to quickly manage my network. I like that they offer on-line support, but it was so simple to install. I did not need to use it.

I installed this product for my home office.  My Wi-Fi speed and range noticeably improved, especially when multiple users are online.  It has given me consistent performance with great range. I would highly recommend this product and UBIQUITI Networks.

I bought this card mainly because of the low price. I must say I am pleased with the performance so far and never had any problems. The install was a breeze and the bandwidth is very good.
I am using it to connect my Dell Inspiron laptop, running Windows 2000, to a SMC Barricade 7004VWBR Access Point/Router.
The Network utility program is neat. It displays signal strength grapically and allows for channel and SSID selection, WEP encryption (with pass phrase-based encryption key generator), and a search feature for the best channel/bandwidth. I am using 128 bit WEP encryption which has been perfect so far.
One important note about installing the driver from the CD that came in the box - the driver is located in the CD under D:\SMC2632W_SMC2602 folder. The Windows "New Hardware Found" wizard will *not* automatically find the driver, because the driver is in a ZIP file. You have to UNZIP this file onto a folder in your hard drive and then specify the path to the driver. Once you do this the install completes perfectly and the card should begin working immediately after reboot.
The Linux drivers are found in SMC's website.

I've been running this for a couple of months now so I figure it's time to write a review.  I'm upgraded my whole home network from a Netgear R6300v2 to a NUC running Sophos XG as the router/firewall, an HP POE switch and this AP for Wifi access.  I love the whole setup and this AP performs stellar.

I recommend using a Unifi Controller (mine is RPi based) to manage the AP.  Going the Controller route makes the features of this thing really shine.  After working with the network guys at work, I was able to fine tune some of the more advanced settings and I have some pretty awesome performance.  I have a two story home with the AP mounted at the top of the ceiling above the stairs.  Every room in the house gets great coverage, and I even have awesome coverage outside as well!

The captive portal and guest network work great (I use Unfi for this, not the Sophos XG), I have a separate SSID for my smart home components and TV's, and my primary SSID that assigns VLANs based on Radius auth (FreeRadius, also running on the same RPi as the controller) so I can control the kids wifi separately from the adults when it comes to content/access.  The whole setup is definitely advanced, but with the level of control I now have over the network, and the ease at which I could expand to more AP's if I ever needed to makes the Unfi line awesome.

The Ubiquiti EdgeRouter POE5 is a robust and well-made device with very impressive specifications.  A dual-core 600MHz MIPS64 processor optimized for network traffic switching allows it to route gigabit traffic at wire speed and filter a million packets per second, and Ubiquiti has the third-party benchmarks to back up the claims.  Power consumption is only eight watts, lower than your laptop.  The EdgeOS GUI interface, a fork of Vyatta after Vyatta was bought out by Brocade, is intuitive and easy to use, even though it sometimes feels a little sluggish because every change you make is committed to the boot configuration in real time.  It can provide you with a local caching DNS server, DHCP, even a transparent-proxying web filter.

The one downside to it is that if you are not familiar with the Linux kernel-firewall configuration tool iptables, you will find it frustratingly difficult to get the firewall working and routing traffic.  There is a simple solution to this which I highly recommend, which is to simply not use iptables or the firewall configuration portion of the GUI at all; rather, install Shorewall and use that instead.  There are instructions on the Ubiquiti/EdgeOS forums for how to install additional software on the router, and how to configure Shorewall to start at boot, and Shorewall is both more powerful than iptables and much easier to configure.

I'm not a tech expert, but I found installation to be simple and the functional improvement on my old machine to exceptional.  In fact, even though my computer was just a little over a year old, the jump in performance from a standard hard drive to a solid state drive was remarkable.  Start up and shut down are much faster and performance in every application has increased.  For the price, I think this is an excellent upgrade.
