Ubiquiti Networks UAP-AC-LITE WLAN

Product Information

Note: A new feature added in version 7 is a warning, letting you know applying these changes is going to disrupt users that are currently connected. That’s why you might see a little triangle with an exclamation mark on the “Add New Wi-Fi Network” button in the bottom right. Effect: Enabling allows devices that support UAPSD to save battery power by keeping their Wi-Fi radio in sleep mode for more time. Like a lot of features that are off by default, this can cause issues for some clients, especially older or IoT devices. Ubiquiti offers a wide range of Access Points, but in this article, I will focus on the most used access points for home networks and small and medium-sized businesses. You can find a complete overview of all the models in this UniFi access point comparison. We have reset one of our Unifi switches (minus the “forget” step) but find that it is still within and controlled by the ISP’s network. We have not done the same with any APs yet. This is also still the case after we had taken this switch off the microwave connection and physically connected it to the outside world through the Fibre connection. Is there a way to set up a UAP(stand-alone) without a controller, on a PC. I could only find a way to do it with a smartphone.

Virtual Ubiquiti Controller software interface (no expensive WiFi hardware controller/switch needed) Transmit Power allows you to set TX power for your radios to low, medium, high, auto, or a custom value. The actual dBm values for low, medium, and high are based on the AP model and what they are capable of.The great thing about the Unifi range is that you get enterprise-class wifi for an affordable price. What you also will discover is that they are super easy to set up and manage. And if you like statics, you will get some great insights into your network as well. Which Unifi Access Point Should You Choose? These settings used to be part of the global AP rules, but have migrated to Settings -> System -> Advanced .

Connectivity Monitor Type controls what mesh APs attempt to reach, to determine if they are online. This is only available when wireless meshing is enabled. For in-house placements, the UniFi 6 Lite and the Long Range models are most of the time the best fit. To determine where to place the Access Point you need to keep in mind that the Unifi Access Point has a doughnut shape coverage with the Access Point in the middle. IGMP Snooping allows a layer 3 UniFi device to query for multicast clients, and only send multicast traffic to the clients that should receive it. The last step is to disable the wifi on your old router because the UAP is strong enough to cover your entire house. You can’t just unplug your router, you need it for your internet connection. To disable the wifi on your router, you need to log in to the admin interface of your router (most of the time you will find it on http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.1.254), find the Wireless settings, and turn it off.

Setting up a Unifi Controller is really simple and can be done in a couple of minutes with this beginner’s guide. We are going to walk through the initial setup of the controller, connecting the access points and getting the most performance out of it. This does not limit the range of your AP, and the details are complicated. Rob Krumm has a great analysis of what changing your rate does and does not change if you want more details. IPv6 Support globally enables IPv6 support on your networks, and allows for a toggle on networks to set IPv4 and IPv6 separately. Multicast Enhancement (IGMPv3) is on under Wi-Fi settings → multicast management. This allows multicast traffic to be converted to normal unicast traffic when possible.
