Hi there, can this Ap make a wireless bridge connection? I mean, can it receive a Wifi signal and repeat it?

[@TitoLukason]

Hi, is the ceiling mount the same as for UAC-AP-LITE? I mean can i use the old mount or do I need to install the one included?

[@ApexOneTech]

Yes, same ceiling mount design as UAC-AP-LITE. Identical for the U6 Lite as well. So you should be able to use your existing mount.

I've set up my APs but they are all separate SSIDs to my modem. In my available WiFi connections list I've got a separate option for each AP. Do I need to buy additional devices to mesh everything?

[@ApexOneTech]

I assume you mean router (or modem)? Are you using a Unifi router? You'll need that.

[@macsuibhne02]

@@ApexOneTech The modem/router provided by my ISP. I've had one AP connected to it for a couple of years and it worked fine. I could access the UniFi dashboard to get stats, make changes, etc. but a few months ago the AP stopped providing an internet connection, even though it appears connected and discoverable on the network. It looks like it's set up perfectly, just no internet and the dashboard I was getting has now changed to a page trying to sell me devices.
I recently bought a second AP, removed the first completely and set up both again as new devices. I'm now seeing my router's SSID as normal but it's duplicated in the available connections list when I've got the APs turned on. This duplicate SSID seems to be coming form the APs. It asks me for the WiFi password but won't connect.
The APs are discoverable on the network, have the proper light showing, appear correctly set up in the app but they are doing absolutely nothing and UniFi dashboard is still just trying to sell me Ubiqui products.

[@teawithb]

Can the AP be plugged directly into the USG router? Or does it have to have the additional devices mentioned around the 8 min mark

[@ApexOneTech]

This does need the additional devices because the USG ports are not PoE. So either a PoE switch or PoE Adapter.

[@mrprfct7069]

I bought the LR version and I find the setup ok but the internet speeds throttled way down. When connected to my router. Using the router wifi the speeds are close to 1gig down but when using unifys the speed slows to about 100mb down. All cat6. There is something wrong with these units. Likely will return and just keep using the old routers wifi.

[@ApexOneTech]

It sounds like you're adding this to a non-UniFi router. You might be throttled on your router LAN port going to the AP. What's your Internet Service Provider's speed promised?

[@zhipenghzp3068]

Hi are you able to access the CLI for this AP? thank you

[@ApexOneTech]

Yes, you should be able to SSH into any device but just need to be sure you're on the same network.
