Would a UAP-AC-Pro work with a UAP-AC-LR to create a seamless mesh?

 

 

 

Edit: to clarify. My folks place has a UAP-AC-LR connected to router using the PoE doo-dah. But both are located at the west end of the house, and there is next to no signal at the east end of the house despite the LR part of the name. There is no easy way to extend any cabling beyond the room the router is in.

Could one of these Pro units just be placed halfway through the house (no ethernet connection to router) to shuffle the wifi signal into the east end?

Yup that should work fine.

I have a Pro and a LR and they work absolutely fine in combination.

Thanks, that is excellent reassurance.

 

@michaelmurphy is it easy to add another AP to the one I already have in the GZUnifi console?

 

Sorry, I typed your name by mistake Mauricio.

@kiwifidget yes. You can do this yourself too. Just adopt another access point using the instructions.

Super! I recall a tremendous amount of hand-holding was required first time around, so hopefully I'll do better this time.

Pretty sure the AC Pro will require an ethernet cable connected to the router to work.

me = confused.

 

I gather the issue will be powering the Pro without PoE?

The UAP needs PoE power. Best is to provide this with the same single cable that runs back to near your router. If you can’t run a cable back to the router, I think the unifi UAPs can do some kind of mesh connection (Google wireless uplink mode)but even with that you still need an Ethernet cable to the unit to power it.

There’s a couple of things you need to do for the Unifi APs to use wireless uplink.

1. Make sure the Wireless Meshing option is enabled in the controller config.
2. Make sure meshing is enabled on the main UAP that’s wired to the router and also on any that you want to connect wirelessly.
3. Not sure if this is required but I would start with the new UAP connected to the router with a cable first and get it adopted into the controller. Once that’s working then unplug it from the router and it should automatically fail over to connect wirelessly. It will take longer to boot up and connect as it will try looking for a cabled connection first.
