Question 1

Is this an Autonomous access point?

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure what you mean by Autonomous, however, I can tell you that you will need to configure this device using a PC or Mac and the UniFi Controller software which is a free download from the manufacturer's website. Once configured, it doesn't need the computer or Mac to maintain the device until you need to make changes to the device. In other words, you could configure this from your laptop and the laptop doesn't need to be online or at the location for the AP to continue working properly. I hope this helps.

Question 2

What is the second Ethernet port used for?

Accepted Answer

It is used to daisy-chain additional units.

Question 3

Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the PoE adapter?  I'm wondering if it will fit in a 1-gang ceiling or wall electrical box.

Accepted Answer

The UAP-AC PoE adapter is model POE48-24W-G. Dimensions are 3.61 x 2.36 x 1.30 in. Datasheet for all Ubiquiti PoE adapters can be found on the Ubiquiti website under Products > Accessories > PoE Adapters > Downloads > PoE Adapters Datasheet.

Question 4

Has anybody found a resolution to the "Unifi wifi Controller shows APs are disconnected but they are UP and communicating with the controller" problem as per the thread in Ubiquiti's forum?

Accepted Answer

I had this problem when I upgraded Java version, i.e, 7 to 8.  I could see the access points as disconnected but they were still functional. I removed java then reinstalled the older version. Everything was fine then.

It looks like you have to do a full blown controller install with this scenario. I'm not sure if you end up having to reconfigure the APs when doing a reinstall.  First you upgrade the java, then reinstall the controller software.

The most recent controller software adjusted to my setup just fine. Usually, the Ubiquiti software looks for java in an old obscure location so you have to modify the startup instructions. The last upgrade did not wipe my previous config.

To reiterate, your first step should be to drop back to your prior java if your current situation appeared after a java update

Question 5

Can these bridge 2 wired networks?

Accepted Answer

Don't know.  I have never used them that way.  If you are going PtP over any distance, look at their PtP products.

Question 6

Are these units the old version 1 or the newer version 2?

Accepted Answer

It's difficult to tell as the box does not indicate V1 or V2.  The basic change (from what I understand) was to reduce heat output in the V2 unit.  I don't believe there are any functional differences.

Question 7

What does it come with in the package?

Accepted Answer

It comes with the access point and poe power injector to power the access point if purchased as a single unit. If you buy the ubiquiti unifi 3 or 5 pack ap bundles no injector is included.
