Your Compact WiFi Cube with Pro Features
No more bulky Network devices you'd rather hide. The Ubiquiti airCube AC proves that high performance and elegant design go hand in hand. With its compact dimensions and minimalist black casing, it fits perfectly on any desk or shelf. But under the hood is the proven Ubiquiti technology, known for its stability. It is the ideal WiFi Access Point for WISP customers who need a reliable indoor solution that works seamlessly with their outdoor reception unit. Once set up, it often runs trouble-free for years – a true “set-it-and-forget-it” solution for your Network.
Ingenious PoE Passthrough: One Cable for Everything
The absolute killer feature of the airCube AC is its ingenious PoE Passthrough. What does that mean for you? Simply put: You can power an external Ubiquiti airMAX Antenna (CPE) directly via the WAN port of the airCube. The Ethernet Cable that delivers internet data simultaneously carries power to the Antenna. The result: Fewer cables, no additional PoE Power Supply, and a clean, professional installation. This function makes the airCube the first choice for anyone looking to bridge from an external wireless Network to their home WiFi.
Easy Setup via App, Full Control for Professionals
Ubiquiti makes configuration as easy as possible for you. With the UISP Mobile App for iOS and Android, the airCube AC is ready to go in minutes. Simply connect to the WiFi, scan the QR code, and follow the instructions. This way, you can configure the airCube AC via the UISP app without having to delve deep into network settings. For advanced users, the web interface offers detailed configuration options. And if you manage multiple Ubiquiti devices, you can integrate the airCube into the central Ubiquiti Network Management System (UISP) and monitor and maintain it remotely.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Outstanding 24V PoE Passthrough for powering airMAX devices, eliminating cable clutter and additional PoE Injectors / Power Supplies.
- Pro: Very flexible management options, from the incredibly easy smartphone app to professional remote maintenance via UISP.
- Pro: Extremely compact, inconspicuous, and modern design that blends perfectly into living spaces.
- Pro: Known for its high stability and reliability in continuous operation – a true “set-it-and-forget-it” solution.
- Note: The airCube AC is part of the airMAX/UISP product family and cannot be managed via the UniFi Controller. This is crucial for network planning.
- Note: The hardware resources (64MB RAM) are optimized for their intended purpose but too limited for demanding alternative firmwares like OpenWrt.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the Ubiquiti airCube AC be used as a regular WiFi Router?
Yes, the airCube AC can operate in router mode, functioning like a traditional WiFi Router for home use. It can receive an internet connection via the WAN port and provide its own Network for your devices.
Is the airCube AC compatible with the UniFi Controller?
No, the airCube AC belongs to the Ubiquiti Networks airMAX and UISP / UniFi Cable product family. It cannot be integrated into the UniFi ecosystem or managed via the UniFi Controller. Management is done through the UISP / UniFi Cable App, a web interface, or the UISP / UniFi Cable software.
What does '24V PoE Passthrough' mean?
This means that the airCube AC can not only be powered itself via PoE Injectors / Power Supplies (Power over Ethernet) but can also pass this power on to another device. Typically, an external Ubiquiti Networks airMAX ac Components antenna is powered this way via the same Ethernet Cables that connect the airCube to the internet.
What is the easiest way to set up the airCube AC?
The simplest method is to use the UISP / UniFi Cable Mobile App on a smartphone. After powering on the device, connect your phone to the airCube's default Network, scan the QR code on the bottom of the device with the app, and follow the configuration instructions.
Does the airCube AC support Mesh WiFi?
Yes, with current firmware, multiple airCube devices can be connected to form a Mesh Network, either via a wired or wireless connection, to improve WiFi Access Points coverage in larger homes.
What speed can I expect from the WiFi?
Theoretically, the airCube AC achieves speeds of up to 866.7 Mbps in the 5 GHz Components band and up to 300 Mbps in the 2.4 GHz Components band. Actual speed depends on many factors, such as distance, obstacles, and the performance of connected end devices.
