Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling should be used for all outdoor wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded through the AC ground of the PoE. With the advantages of MU-MIMO technology and 4x4 spatial streams, the UniFi AP Flex HD can support more than triple the number of users than a typical Wave 1 AP. In practice, the maximum number of users the UniFi AP Flex HD can support is limited by radio link airtime. This depends on the amount of traffic each device creates, types of devices, network configuration, and the presence of other APs on the same channel. Versatile Mounting Options Desktop The UAP FlexHD stands freely on a horizontal surface such as a desktop or table/shelf. Good for temporary installations. When it comes to a small and sleek form factor, the UniFi FlexHD Access Point is one of the smallest and sleekest Access Points on the market. Less than 160mm tall, and with a diameter of only 48.5mm, the UniFi FlexHD can be deployed almost anywhere and deliver exceptional wireless performance, even outdoors. Enterprise-Ready Performance

Indicates the device is in an isolated state (all WLANs are brought down until an uplink is found).Both Wave 1 and Wave 2 APs offer 28 independent (non-overlapping) channels: three for the 2.4 GHz band and twenty-five for the 5 GHz band, including DFS channels. When you use the 2.4 GHz band in a high-density location, you encounter self-interference and channel saturation. When you use the 5 GHz band, you can deploy smaller cells (coverage areas), so you can support more clients in any cell that deploys more than one AP. As for performance, we have to say that the FlexHD did astonishingly well in our tests. Close-range file copies from a Windows 10 desktop equipped with a Linksys WUSB6400 802.11ac adapter completed at a terrific average of 71MB/sec, and dropped only to 64MB/sec from a distance of ten metres. Unlimited scalability: build wireless networks as big or small as needed while maintaining a single unified management system All UniFi Gateways, Cloud Gateways, and UniFi OS Consoles, as of November 2023. See my UniFi Router Comparison for more details. For clarity I've separated them into categories based on their role. Configure custom settings, including authentication, Hotspot setup, and the option to use your own external portal server. 802.11ac MU-MIMO technology

Note: When installing Ethernet cabling on a pole or up the outer surface of a wall, use RJ45 connectors without strain-relief boots on them. This will prevent unnecessary tension on the cable ends. Spatial Streams At any single time, a Wave 2 AP can communicate with the following MU-MIMO clients: We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons:

Network overview

All UniFi Cloud Gateways, as of November 2023. These models are newer, and they all run UniFi OS. They have been called UniFi OS Consoles, Gateway Consoles, and now Cloud Gateways. They act as routers or firewalls, and also run the UniFi software applications like Network and Protect. These can’t be used with Cloud Keys, cloud services, or a self-hosted UniFi Network application. You may choose to restrict the collection or use of your personal information in the following ways: Please note: If you are mounting the UAP-FlexHD outdoors, it must be installed in the upright position, with the Ubiquiti logo facing up, to prevent water from getting into the base of the device. We'll start by looking at all of the current options for UniFi gateways, including some older ones that Ubiquiti no longer lists on their official store. Current Gateways The Ubiquiti UAP-FlexHD UniFi Indoor/Outdoor WiFi 5 PoE Access Point combines enterprise performance, unlimited scalability, and a central management controller. The UAP-FlexHD access point has a small, sleek design and compact form factor that can easily be deployed. With flexible mounting options (see accessories tab), the Flex HD can be deployed on tabletops, walls, ceilings and poles. Key Features
