how difficult is the setup process for this device?

It's very easy, it's basically like setting up any wifi router just point it to the internet and it works. The best part of these antennas is when you add another antenna you just press the adopt button in the software and it's configured.

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.

Our IT guy set it up, but he said it was much easier to configure than others. It works better than the one we had before too.

I found setup to be remarkably easy. The unifi software walks you through setup quickly and easily. The only drawback (addressed in a beta version) is that you can only set up a single location with the software. If you have multiple locations with Ubiquiti units you have to back up configurations , delete and create a new location. Beta software allows multiple locales.

Amy, it takes once or twice to figure out easiest way to set-up and take down. After that, my wife and I do it by ourselves. Send me your Email info and I

It needs to be hooked up to a computer to get set up. It doesn't need the computer to function. It is complicated to set up. I had my IT friend do it and it took him a few hours.

Yes, but you would have to use the manual setup mode instead of the automatic setup. Not particularly a problem, but it does require more effort and thinking.

Not sure. I called customer service to help me set up. They were very helpful!

What do you mean?You should setup this device, and save configuration, then let it run forever.

Did you follow the instructions on setting it up? There are some helpful videos on Youtube about it.

The set up is too easy, just download the app and link it as simple as that.There is a video in YouTube explaining the set up.

I think you can do it either way. Initial set up would be easiest through your computer.

It's not hard at all. It took about ten minutes on the phone to get set up.

Good question, I never got that far being so frustrated with just trying to get it working first. I do notsew and you probably do which will make a difference. No one could get it going, good luck.

It is super easy, but if you are asking this you may want to have someone else install it. Here is a link to an installation; http://www.2addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=998321

It can be a bit of a pain, but all in all its a simple process.I didn't have any major issues with it, so to answer your question "Yes" It was easy.PS: they provide instructional videos on how to install it, so they really help you out with the process

Not at all! So very easy. Just follow instructions! Took less than five minutes to set up.

The setup is not that difficult, however the instructions can be a bit confusing. One person can do it without a doubt

The term "easy" is relative. I would recommend downloading the manual to obtain a good understanding of the install and setup procedures. But, the average person shouldn't have that much of a problem if instructions are read and followed carefully. Rule of thumb: just don't connect and reconnect while any of the components are on! Turn them off and check connections before turning anything on. If in doubt, hire a professional.

All the connecting points are easy to access, connecting it should not be a problem. I'm not very savy at setting up stuff like that, but I was able to connect & use mine within minutes. I hope this helps.
