  5.0 out of 5 stars Great wifi mesh addon device

  I have a Ubiquiti Edgerouter X, along with a Unifi Ap-AC-Lite, but had zero wifi signal to my backyard (older house with thick walls). Despite tweak the Ap-AC-Lite (increased transmit power, changed channels, etc), nothing seemed to work. Then I came across this add-on mesh AP unit. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to extend the wifi off my Ap-AC-Lite. Setup was straightforward, and you only need to plug in the POE port cable for it's power supply (no need to plug in the LAN for wireless connection). Also ensure that if you are connecting it thru another AP device, to configure that source AP device to allow mesh connections. Use the Unifi Controller software (not their mobile app), under config, Wireless Uplinks and enable "allow meshing to another access point", and then you should be able to see your UAP-AC-M unit wirelessly to adopt it into Unifi Controller for configuration. So far, so good as I'm getting excellent transfer speeds from my backyard, as I would sitting in the kitchen, and wife signals are rock solid steady.
