Access Point UBIQUITI UAP-AC-M Wi‑Fi 802.11ac dual‑band 2.4/5 GHz, 867 Mbps, 2 detachable antennas, PoE, wall‑mount

The Ubiquiti Unifi AC Mesh 2.4 GHz 5 GHz Wi-Fi 802.11ac (UAP-AC-M-5) is a dual-band access point designed for flexible deployment in indoor and outdoor environments. It delivers wireless connectivity on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands with a maximum data transfer rate of 867 Mbit/s on compatible devices. The unit features a compact white enclosure, two integrated antennas, a single Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) port and supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) for simplified installation. The access point is compatible with common IEEE 802.11 standards and supports security algorithms such as WEP, WPA and WPA2 to maintain secure client connections.

Advantages

The Ubiquiti Unifi AC Mesh offers flexible dual-band operation and broad standards compatibility (802.11a/b/g/n/ac) for mixed-device networks. Its PoE capability reduces cabling complexity by supplying power and data over a single Ethernet cable. The device’s compact, weather-resistant design and two antennas provide versatile placement options for small business, branch or residential deployments. Built-in support for standard security protocols helps maintain network integrity and user authentication.

How to use

Install the UAP-AC-M-5 by mounting it in the desired indoor or outdoor location according to site planning for optimal coverage. Connect the access point to a PoE-capable switch or a compatible PoE injector using a Cat5e or higher Ethernet cable to provide both power and network connectivity. Use the UniFi Controller software or UniFi Network application to adopt the device, configure SSIDs, security settings (WEP/WPA/WPA2), radio settings and any guest or VLAN profiles required. Position the unit to minimize physical obstructions and interference from other radio sources to achieve best performance.

Recommendations

For reliable throughput and coverage, place the access point at elevated, unobstructed locations and use PoE infrastructure rated to the device’s power requirements. Regularly update UniFi Controller firmware and maintain WPA2 or stronger encryption for client connections. For high-density deployments, plan channel allocation on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands to reduce co-channel interference.
