Can this be used without having the Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Lite Access Points ? Is it compatible with fiber internet and cable internet?

@HomeTechDIY Ай бұрын

Yes, it can be used as a stand alone device. Yes, the type of Internet service provider is irrelevant.

Can I use this Ubiquiti Access Point with a non Ubiquiti router?

@HomeTechDIY 7 ай бұрын

Yes. I am not using a Ubiquiti router for my 3 APs.

Hi, I watched your video because I had the same issues as you, except I'm not tech-savvy. I have Starlink and need connection outside my property about 300ft from the router. I purchased the UAP-AC-M and an ethernet adaptor (I didn't purchase the uap-ac-pro-e ap). I got it hooked up to my Starlink router. Now I'm having issues, the mesh itself won't shoot out Starlink network. On the mobile app, it says "No wireless clients found", "no clients" and "self-hosted network server" I'm at a total loss. Not sure what I need to do. Any pointers?

Is the starlink app giving these errors or the Ubiquiti app? Are you able to log into the access point using the UniFi app? Did you check out my old video on setting up access points? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmeaopanrdOXhtU

Thanks. This was very interesting. Just getting a bunch of these outdoor projects going now since it is -21C with the windchill here in Atlantic Canada.

Glad you enjoyed it! Brrrrrr - those temperatures don't sound fun.

I guess, I am confused about the use, I thought this was used when you didn't have an ethernet cable going to where it is to be installed. Couldn't you have gotten the antenna and it would receive the signal from the house? then sent to the AP?

This device has multiple modes and I think that would be possible. A hardwired connection is definitely stronger and more reliable. It's also more convenient because I can power the AC over the same ethernet cable.

Just so I am clear, you hard wired this device at your shed? You had an underground cable that ran to your shed, which you hooked this device. It then extends the Wi-Fi signal throughout your yard. I need to get Wi-Fi down to our dock from our house. The dock is about 170’ line of site from the house so this should work right?

Good video, I'm looking for share my starlink to my neighbors they're about to 200 meters I think it will be no problem, but there's one like on 500 meters, what do you think about what to buy to carry the wifi there? But I will like to be just one thing, omnidirectional.

@infinityxpeed Ай бұрын

ptp nanobeam maybe, omnidirectional will not work for that 500 m distance

Does this only work with mesh UniFi networks or could it work with the standard unifi access points? I just noticed this was like six months ago. Has there ever been any changes or updates or improvements or something you would do different now?

@HomeTechDIY 2 ай бұрын

Great questions! I believe it would work with the standard access points. The only change I would consider in Ubiquiti's new outdoor access point that supports WiFi 6. I bought one for a security camera that supports WiFi 6. My only concern with that access point is that it doesn't seem water tight. I still need to figure out how to install it and seal it outside. In any case, here is where I feature it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoTSln5roNJom68

Thank you! Quick question, I am trying to figure out if the following setup will work. We support an Orphanage in South Africa. Recently they have had a rash of break-ins and were asking about setting up security cameras. It is a large area and hard-wiring them would be almost impossible. They currently get their WiFi from a Rain , "The 101" 5G router . I was going to buy a couple of these AC mesh . One of them I would connect to the Network port of the 101, mount it on a pole and point it toward the main buildings. Then I would mount several Eufy WiFi S340 cameras (2.4 GHz0 in strategic locations. I would install the other Unifi AC mesh at the main building, run a cable down into a router for them to get WiFi. Question: Would the S340's (2.4 GHz) be able to use the signal being pumped out by the AP or does it have to go through the receiving AP?

@HomeTechDIY Ай бұрын

Yes, as far as I know. Make sure to set the AP up with dual band to ensure the 2.4GHz is active. I usually start small and then scale up, so maybe purchase just one S340 first to ensure it works as expected (range, lag, remove access, etc) before purchasing several.

@@HomeTechDIY Cool, and agree. Thanks!

Thanks for the video, do you know if to make a mesh network with several of these APs I need any additional hardware or any extra software? Greetings from Venezuela

@HomeTechDIY 5 ай бұрын

Yes, these work as a mesh network. You would need the Unifi Network Server software for PC to configure the devices: ui.com/download/releases/network-server Make sure to also check out my video on creating a mesh network: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bmeaopanrdOXhtU These devices are pretty complex with lots of configurations. Luckily there is a lot of help available online.
