Boundless WiFi: Your Ubiquiti UniFi AC Mesh for Indoors & Outdoors
No more WiFi dead zones! The Ubiquiti UniFi AC Mesh, or UAP-AC-M, was developed for maximum deployment flexibility. Its sleek, unobtrusive design fits perfectly into modern interiors, while the robust and weather-resistant casing (IPX4) makes it the ideal choice for gardens, patios, company premises, or event locations. Thanks to the included kits for wall and pole mounting, your installation imagination knows no bounds. Reliably supply even the most remote corners with high-speed WiFi.
Seamless Coverage with UniFi Mesh Technology
The true strength of the UAP-AC-M lies in its ability to build complex Mesh systems. With the Wireless Uplink (Mesh) feature, the WiFi Access Point connects wirelessly to other UniFi Access Points. This means you can extend your WiFi Network to areas where laying an Ethernet Cable would be too complex or impossible. This technology drastically reduces installation effort and enables the setup of vast, interconnected wireless networks – perfect for seamless coverage over large areas.
Professional Management, Made Easy
Like all devices in the UniFi family, the Ubiquiti UniFi AC Mesh is managed via the central UniFi Network Controller. This powerful software (available for free for PC, Mac, Linux, or as a Cloud Key) provides you with a tool to configure, monitor, and optimize your entire Network – from WiFi Access Points to UniFi Switch devices and gateways – through a single, intuitive interface. Benefit from enterprise features like guest portal, VLAN support, and detailed analytics without breaking the bank. This WiFi Access Point is the perfect entry into a professional Network.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the Ubiquiti UAP-AC-M be used as a standalone Router?
No, the UAP-AC-M is purely an Access Point. It must be connected to an existing Network with a Router to provide internet access for WiFi clients.
Do I need special software to operate the UAP-AC-M?
Yes, the UniFi Network Controller Software is required for configuration and management. This can be installed for free on a computer, purchased as a dedicated device (UniFi Cloud Key), or hosted in the cloud. The mobile app can also be used for basic setup.
Is the Access Point completely waterproof?
No, it is classified as 'weather-resistant' according to IPX4, which protects it against splashes. However, it should not be submerged or exposed to direct jets of water. Mounting under an overhang is recommended.
What does 'Wireless Uplink' or 'Mesh' mean?
This feature allows the UAP-AC-M to connect wirelessly to another wired UniFi Access Point. This enables it to provide the WiFi signal in locations where Ethernet Cabling is not available.
Which PoE standards are supported?
The UAP-AC-M is flexible and supports both passive 24V PoE and the standardized 802.3af PoE Mode A, allowing operation with the included PoE Injector / Power Supplies or compatible UniFi Switch.
How many devices can connect to the UAP-AC-M simultaneously?
Ubiquiti states that the Access Point is designed for over 200 simultaneous client connections. However, actual performance depends heavily on the type of usage and environmental conditions.
