I am building a wi fi network for my client who has a super large house. how many UAP-AC can we install and interconnect them togehter?

I do not recall how many units you can use, but it is definitely many. (with auto-transfer/zero-passing) Unless this place is made of steel and concrete however, you will likely need very few. The building I have them in is brick and steel. 1 unit covers nearly the whole first floor and some of the second. They are very strong.

I am an IT pro and wireless network engineer. I use an AP per 25 devices. You will have the bottleneck of the data port and the wireless bandwidth available. Meaning that if these do 150 mbps then 60-80 people will be sharing it. You would be better buying the 3 pack of access points.

yes, you can. i do not think there is a limitation for how many extension devises you can add to it. it is just like an ethernet line.

I don't know the answer to multiple units. I have only one unit and it reaches my hammock in the back yard with a strong signal. Maybe NetGear has the answer.

If you have a multi level or large home I suggest you use the Netgear Nighthawk or just add a 750 duel band extender to save money. NETGEAR AC1200 High Power 700mW Dual Band Wi-Fi Range Extender - Desktop with 5 Ports (EX6200)

If you connect them by wired you can use two or more. If you want to expand a Wirelles network you have to use one as a router or acces points and the other as a repeater.

I don't see why not I know you can put more than one in a circuit but not sure the max that would probably strengthen the entire connection but you'd have to get all the clone buttons within 20 seconds or you'll find yourself with 6 different networks in your house

That should be no problem. I have 15 to 20 devices connected with no problems. This assumes wireless and not wired. It has 4 ports for wired connections although you should be able to expand that with a switch (which I also have).

Yes, as long as you have one connected to the router, you can use several throughout the house. I do not know if there is a practical limit. All of them are the same, including the one attached to the router. I am using 5 and they work very well.

Too many unknowns (distance/topography/power/etc). I'd recommend contacting a local IT company to do a site survey. BTW, these specific APs are not designed for outdoor use. See Ubiquiti UniFI AP Outdoor 2x2 MIMO Access Point 802.11bgn

Hi there! Yes you can use multiple extenders for increased range - their main source of wireless connection would need to be the same.

There's a hard limit of 15 wireless devices connected at a time (http://www.amazon.com/gp/forum/cd/discussion.html/ref=cm_cd_al_tlc_cl?ie=UTF8&asi;n=B001FWYGJS&cdAnchor;=Mx1FVDUR7N0PCYX)

The short answer is, the UAP-PRO can support more concurrent connections at once, and at much higher speeds. They are much better suited to an office environment then to your typical residence. However, if your house is like mine, the number of wireless devices has been increasing dramatically as my kids are getting older, and I found that I was saturating the bandwidth on a single AP. I replaced it with 2 UAP-PRO's and everyone is much happier now! I have deployed over 90 of the UAP-PRO's in several companies, and have been extremely impressed. We haven't had one single failure thus far. Here are the key differences: 1. The AP-PRO is dual band (2.4ghz and 5ghz), while the standard AP is only 2.4ghz . There is much less traffic on the 5ghz band. 2. The AP-PRO is a true 48-volt PoE device, where the standard AP is 12 volts. This means you can't power the standard AP with a PoE switch (which many businesses have) but rather you have to use the included PoE injector (or Ubiquiti's "step-down" voltage adapter(. 3. The AP-PRO has 2x gigabit ports, vs the standard AP that only has a single 100mbps port. This is actually a big deal, if you start doing the math of the number of wireless devices you have all squeezing through a single 100mbps connection. But if you only have a 10 - 15mbps internet connection, it won't really matter, unless you are streaming lots of data internally, say from a media server. The second gigabit port can be used for redundancy, or more likely, daisy-chaining the AP's together. The UAP-PRO's have come down in price a bit, so I recommend them over the standard AP, just to give yourself some growing room. Hope this helps!

Hi We are in the process of validating a wifi card with the new 2.1 release of pfSense. We will also be releasing another model shortly that will have 5 LAN ports.

It depends what type of setup you want?.. one AP needs qty1 nano device.. 1 AP and 1 station need 2 nano device.. and 1 AP and repearer need 2 or more device depending qty of repeater..

I don't know how many can connect at the same time. I seen about 4 connecting. I have 12 set up.

these are 5 GHZ - you would only need one of you are using it as a receiver in a short distance- If you are doing it far away you would need two- It all depends on the application- a assume we are talking about a bridge- if is an access point you would only need one
