A few reviews here mention how HOT the UniFi AP AC operates. Is this still the case in 2014 or has firmware updates helped resolve this issue?

Ours, ceiling mounted, runs quite warm. I second the recommendation to use standoffs to increase airflow around the unit. I suspect that will help it last longer.

I was aware of these comments before purchasing the product. So I'm pleased to report that we've not observed any heat (or other) issues with this product to date.

Ours was purchased a couple of month ago and runs so hot that I'm afraid for its life, but it performs great.

I have added AC clients to mine, and there does not seem to be a heat issue, at first it did run a bit warmer than my abgn-Pro APs, but not to a level that concerned me. It has worked flawlessly before and after the firmware updates. In my situation the units are even covered for aesthetic reasons and still no issues whatsoever.

Yes, still runs hot, so plan ahead where you will be mounting it. Also consider heading to the local hardware store to get longer screws and stand offs to both increase your airflow under the unit and move it a bit further from your mounting surface (which reflects the heat right back to the unit).

It has shown great performance so far. It replaced a near 20yr old cisco switch which had reached the end of its service life. No heat problems have been noted. Throughput for large cad files and their revisions are near instantaneous.

I noticed it does run a little hot but it has never had a thermal event. The BIOS in this particular model is incredible. There is a lot you can do to configure and customize. I install these all over for many of my clients and they love them. The only thing I did not like it that it did not come with internet. Had to use a wifi card because the wifi msata mini that came on the unit did not work

the product description state that it has AC version wifi. which is Rev2 according to the Gigabyte site

No. It is a stand alone AP that can be added to any network LAN. You will need to download the free software from Ubiquiti to commission and setup.

This unit will not power the UAP AC. This AP requires 48v PoE. You will need to buy the Ubiquiti TS-8-PRO ToughSwitch 8 Port.

So far yes , this is the way to go , I tried the round unifi , did ok but with this unit I rarely loose connection .Make sure you get more than one for failover , easy to manage with the unifi interface .

Yes. It will power their UniFi access points. I use it for that very purpose.

I like it very much. If you have any questions about it, just let me know. The do post firmware upgrades frequently. I had upgraded to the latest, but had to roll back as there was a bug in that update where it quit playing my protected wma files. I put an issue in their bug tracker and they said they'd resolve the issue soon. But I really haven't found the need to upgrade the firmware anyway.

We only have the AC. Though we have both the indoor and outdoor. They are automatically are on separate channels. The hand offs have been great for iPhones, iPads and laptops. On the laptops, I tested with a continuous ping and never noticed when it handed off. We did not try the PRO.

I don't know about the 28-port models, but both the data and PoE 10/12-port models are completely fanless. The machines handle heat dissipation very well.I found out about the fanless operation checking tech specs on Cisco's website. They probably have the same info on the 28-port model.

I own the 1 TB model and also noticed the heat buildup. I keep my unit off unless I'm backing up data. Had it a year and so far, so good.

They just came out with 1.0.0.3 Build 9 firmware... try it and see if there's any improvement

I'm using Maraki MR12 AP's which operate only in the 2.4 spectrum. It worked fine for the most part, but definitely consumed a good portion of the available bandwith on the when running at 4CIF @ 15fps. Pay attention to proximity to the AP and other apps running on the WLAN

I just bought one for the house a few months ago and I believe it came with IOS 7.4.X, which of course will run your 3602's just fine. I actually ran 3602's at work on 7.3.X just fine. I just put 7.6.X on it and am running 1262 AP's with no issue. Next stop will be 3702's to take advantage of AC, can't wait for that! It's a great little controller but keep in mind it only has 2 PoE ports so you will need power injectors or a PoE switch.

The Ubiquiti UniFi AP Enterprise WiFi System Long Range has a 3db higher receive gain than does the standard Ubiquiti UniFi AP Enterprise WiFi System. While this is not as good as your device having extra output, it does help pull in the signal from your device so that it is usable at long range.

It depends on what you want to do. These AP's are made for farming with a 2mile range. They are $375 vs. Ubiquiti's sub Sub $100 range. I bet Ubiqiuti makes this Aymesh hub. Looks the same, however possibly different firmware. I know for a fact Ubiquiti's AP's are not compatible with several different manufacture's AP or client hardware. The only thing you can do is give it a try with a seller that offers a return policy. I also want to add that some Ubiquiti products are not compatible with other Ubiquiti products. Which might force you to buy a a certain compatible model in regards to your system.
