The installation was quite an experience. First I bought a bad PoE power supply. Prestoze was from the same company and met the same specification, it was only 24V and not 48V. Installation via android app was a complete horror. The AP required a software update as a first step. Well, the one that dropped a few percent. Over and over again. On about 20 attempts it all caught up 30 minutes later. Just to learn that the android app is a complete piece of sh***. You buy an AP for 5k and the app lets you change the SSD, password, encryption type and channel width. That's about it. The mobile app is simply a scam. So if you don't have anything from Ubiquity, get ready to install their server. Their latest Ubiquity OS requires at least 10GB of free disk space, so if you have your Raspberry Pi with a 32GB card a bit full, forget it. For God's sake, why do I need 10GB of space for software that I just want to let me set up VLANs on the APck. Fortunately, you can still install the older Ubiquity Network Server, which does not have such absurd requirements. But not now from the official website. Their Debian repository is underwritten by clients whose encryption type is already deprecated. Once you get around this, you run into another blocker problem. I don't know exactly what it was. Anyway, their official site will eventually link you to a community install script maintained by someone. He's already paid the panbuh. Once you get their server up and running, then it's one and done. So somehow I couldn't get over the fact that in order to log into the self-hosted administration I have to create an online Ubiquity account. Well, I guess it's just the way it is. Of course, remote access to administration is enabled by default, for them, right? That's what you want. The installation was a horror for me and I am used to a lot of things from Mikrotik. Well, I'm not just gonna be slanderous. Administration, control, settings - everything is easy to understand for IT shovels. Setting different VLANs to different SSIDs. All parade. Transmission speed? Spike. Both in my notebook with Wifi 7 and in the other with Wifi 6E, the transfer speed in my 1+KK is limited by 1Gb/s - more than that is not possible with Ethernet. I am completely satisfied. That's what I wanted. In comparison with Mikrotik hAP ax³ the speed is stable, about double and on Windows disappeared such cheerful problems that the laptop connected to Wifi 5 and not to Wifi 6 no matter what. I would have returned the AP after the initial troubles with installation and setup, but in short Ubiquity probably has no competition in terms of radio quality in this price range. Doing a new installation on a house with a garden, so I'll build everything on AP from them. And as soon as I close their self-hosted server in the docker, I'll probably be really happy. PS: If after reading you don't know which one beats or you don't already own their gateway from Ubiquity, definitely don't buy this AP. It's not difficult to get it up and running, but it's not self-executing and you need a server.
