Can you explain briefly how this is setup to be used just as an access point?

Plug your computer into it via ethernet, open a browser to http://192.168.2.1 and it will send you directly into the router setup wizard where you select the mode you want to use, and just follow the wizard from there to finish setting up the basics. When the wizard completes and it reboots, you can open your browser up to the same IP, or the new IP if you changed the default, and you will be sent into the full router interface to further customize settings if you need to.

when you log into the device there is a menu option to make it an access point ... really easy but you have to log into the device

I just picked this up august 2015. It CAN be used as a wired WAC (wireless access point). When u do the setup wizard it gives you the option set up as a wifi-extender or a wireless access point.

I think you are asking if it can be an access point, the answer is yes. You may want to flash the firmware to a more recent version of Tomato, but it does support AP mode. You can also turn just about any wireless router into an AP by unplugging the WAN and disabling DHCP. The main router will hand out the DHCP for everything just fine.

The controller software that is provided made it pretty simple. Plug it in, load the app, connect to the AP, type in your settings. There are more advanced configurations that would require a bit more knowledge to set up well, but otherwise, as long as you can get the software loaded (which admittedly took a few minutes to figure out on my iMac), little domain knowledge should be required.

For that purpose I have to use a repeater. Since I share my 4G Internet with this device through my LAN that´s the best use for this Device in my case.

This switch is dual band, so it is like a switch and access point combined. So no, you do not need a separate access point.

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.

You can use it as a wifi repeater or broadcast WiFi using an ethernet connection or a mobile usb dongle. You can also use it as a wifi nas server. Hope this answers your question.

It has the ability to be setup as a repeater, but that isn't the best use. In the best case scenario, it is a radio only. They sell a nanostation that can receive a wifi network and create an Ethernet port

You have two options to do this, set it up as an access point by wiring it to your existing router, or just set it as a repeater and give it a different password

This is an access point only, not a router (a typical home router acts as an access point, router, firewall, and dhcp server, among other things). So not only will it work with other routers, it needs a router, or else your wireless clients won't be able to get anywhere. If there is overlap in the coverage areas between this and any other wireless access points you have, you will want to have them on separate channels so they do not interfere with each other. Also, you need to install the UniFi controller software on a PC to configure this AP - you can't just log into it directly via IP address.

Both previous answers are true. As Joseph mentioned, there is a very basic wizard for the initial setup. It will get you online, and get an access point running, and that's it. Beyond that, Javier's comment is very much true. Everything is adjustable, and pretty much none of it is explained by Router OS itself.If you're willing to learn, though, you can do quite a lot with it. I run an SNMP trap on a Linux server which records all my traffic data. It's quite handy to see how much data I've gone through for the month, and I can break it down by any time period I like.

I have the latest firmware installed and it can work like an access point now

I cinfigured it as an access point to plug in my ethernet wired phones and it worked. I did read that it can be configured as a repeater, but did not try it that way.

yes, it will work as an access point, meaning you connect to its own SSID (WiFi Broadcast Name) and use Airplay.

Know, these are actually acess points themselves. You could set them up as AP-Repeaters for wireless devices, or connect it to a switch. If you have a router at location 1, then you can use that router for dhcp, and put a switch on the other side. Many different ways to connect and configure it. I have 10 stations with one 1 router. But these can be used as a router.

It will work as an access point. Depending on the landscape though, you may not get signal. If suggest visiting the forums at ubnt.com.
