What's the difference between this and the UniFi Long Range Access Point? I want to make an access point from my modem/router
1878876
I have used this as a bridge (one side to a switch "network B all IP's within network A" the other end to a router and network A) from my small interactions, the units are each assigned an IP (within your network A) and setup to connect to the other antenna, these work well in pairs, but I have not done multi Xmit/recieve but as long as they are within the focus bubble I don't see why not. As for reliability: So far through rain, smoke and snow, I have not lost connection = but I run less than 5Mbit/sec traffic. Hope this helps

Unifi LR AP is mWifi in your garage, this might be the right device.anaged and controlled, and should only be used with, the UniFi Enterprise WiFi system. Unless you are connecting from a long ways away, this would not work well for what you need; this is meant more for point to point wifi installations, or point to multipoint. If you only want an AP, look at the Ubiquiti Pico. If you need multiple APs, then look at Unifi. If you need

It depends. If you are running the lan controller software there is, but not with all models of the AP's. Great hardware minds, terrible software at Ubiquiti. The "cloud" software has been in beta for years. There is a PC like application you run to manage them.

the device setup home page has an admin tab with 3 options for access point, router or repeater. not a lot of documentation or help, but it does have the choices.

This is a modem and wireless router built in. This would be redundant. what is the point?

These are good products however, a lot of the "range" id dependent upon the type equipment that you have i.e., language being utilized and whether its laptop and/or desktop. Especially important will be be type input Modem being utilized at your home for outward dissemination. It all adds into the equation. I have personally used these years ago for equipment in my home (large area home) and with a laptop at the end of the house; it worked satisfactorily. I would highly - very highly - recommend that you contact your local provider and inqjuire with them as to the range requirements for their channel input/output regarding the usage of the Netgear PL AV200. We were fortunate in that our Provider happens to be Bright House, one of the best in the industry if not the best - for full range of connection. Their input modem (located in our home) is the Ubee with wide-area coverage and no additional expander/boosters are necessary. Again, check with you local Provider and they should be able to provide you with the exact parameters you need to follow i.e., distance from their input modem, etc..... Sorry, but equipment these days is relevant to Provider-provided Modem equipment; thats the main goodie in it all........... Good luck...... Skip

I would not recommend this wifi Access Point for home use, it requires a controller to be installed on one pc in order to configure and manage the AP. This is not a router though.

Combo modem/routers do not have the range as a separate modem and router. Unless you live in a small apartment or use your computer close to your modem you will be very disappointed with the range of the combo.

From what Ubiquiti has said, no. Even though this and the Unifi AP Outdoor are basically the same thing internally, Ubiquiti wants to keep the product lines separated.

They are essentially the same thing. This device captures an existing wireless signal from a router and repeats it over an extended range.

Look I'm not a expert. But this is an extender which extends the signal from your access point.You better call Amped Wireless, they are friendly and professional.

These devices are actually some of the easiest I have ever used to setup (compared to enterprise grade products). You will need to install the controller software on a computer to get them comfigured which can take a few min. Once that is installed, you can plug in the device into the network and the controller software will detect it. I have been working with many networking products over the years and I just started using these Ubiquity access points. The throughput and the ease of management (especially if you have multiple access points) is second to none in my opinion.

To do this vCard the easiest way i know. I run a cable to an access point, my experience using routers as an access point is horrible,especially linksys and cisco. Ubiquiti makes some points that are inexpensive and dependable. I also use switches that let me hardwire printers to the network. Some access points have builtin switches. Depending how far your neighbor is you put an access point in the room closest to them and use a range extender for them to pickup your signal. Btw: a heavier duty access point gives a lot more range. I use a ubiquiti commercial grade and do not need any others in my 2 story house.

No, it's not really a router. One piece connects via ethernet cable to your modem, and the smaller piece can plug into any wall socket. The smaller piece is supposed to generate a WiFi signal, allegedly increasing your WiFi range. I didn't have good results with it. A good router works much better for increasing signal range.

It's not going to work as access point but TP link has another small unit which has access point capability , signal enhancer and router all in one and cost wise is heap also and I am using that perfectly

I did not try this connection and cannot answer this question. However, I am wondering why you would want to plug one router to another. It may make more sense to set up the second router as an extender to have a longer range. I plugged my router directly into the cable modem. The range for this router is much better than the previous one. The two bigger antennas really help.

This model is only 2.4 GHz. They do make what you need. It is called the UniFi AP-Pro.

I wouldn't. The router won't be tied back to the same controller as the Unifi's will.
