Quick question these is just an access point correct? If i have my router with no wireless, i just plug in these Ubiquiti to my router and that all?

Yes, you just hardwire the access point to your wired router and then the access point will provide wifi to all your clients. You would use the config program from ubiquiti to connect to the access point in order to configure it.

Correct but keep in mind, the Ubiquiti AP's come with a ac/ethernet power injector adapter so any switch/router will work.

To do this vCard the easiest way i know. I run a cable to an access point, my experience using routers as an access point is horrible,especially linksys and cisco. Ubiquiti makes some points that are inexpensive and dependable. I also use switches that let me hardwire printers to the network. Some access points have builtin switches. Depending how far your neighbor is you put an access point in the room closest to them and use a range extender for them to pickup your signal. Btw: a heavier duty access point gives a lot more range. I use a ubiquiti commercial grade and do not need any others in my 2 story house. To do this vCard the easiest way i know.

Yes. I have used them to extend my wifi by placing a wireless access point and/or a wireless router at the remote end. Be aware, that these may sometimes have some issues and may need to be rebooted like other devices on the network.

Controller only needs to be running during configuration - after that they're more than happy to be left alone. Just like any other AP, as long as you've got the same SSID and WPA2 PSK (and different channels, ideally) you can bounce back and forth without any problems. Ideally they work best by themselves, as they'll auto-configure channels to optimize coverage and AP load.

This is only a cable modem and not a wireless router or access point.. You will need to purchase another device to accomplish that, or get an all in one cable modem/wifi router instead...

These have both a bridge and router mode. So you can use them without an additional router.

They should work fine, I don't think you need the controller active to have the AP work, you just need it to program them & make any changes. You might want to go with the regulars, not the PRO's if your only going to have a few of these out there. Otherwise you'll want the PRO with a controller running all the time. I had these working without a controller running at one point when I was doing testing and they worked fine. I'd recommend a controller though. Quickstart guide is here http://dl.ubnt.com/guides/UniFi/UniFi_AP_Pro_QSG.pdf I forgot to mention if you're using the Guest Network feature, then you will need to have an active controller running all the time (I believe) They should work fine, I don't think you need the controller active to have the AP work, you just need it to program them & make any changes.

Yes. You can use them with a standalone router. It just needs to be able to see the DHCP server on the same subnet as the access point. You only need to have the controller running if you use the guest services portal. Otherwise it is really a configuration utility not a controller. Hope that answers your questions!!

You can hook up several of these without an issue, as they are simply repeating the carrier signal, and not causing an interference pattern. Please remember though, that wireless signals travel out and DOWN (not so well up) So I would recommend putting your source router as high up in your house as possible, and set up the repeaters on the lower levels as necessary. If you have a smart phone, download the app WiFi Analyzer so you can actually walk through your home and see your signal strength, and identify problem areas. It will also allow you to see your neighbor's networks, and determine if any of them are trying to use the same signal channel as you.

sure, you are setting up a little wireless network. Numerous "How To's" on the web. Remember this is line of sightbeyond that easy peasy

These are not wireless. You need to have these wired directly to the source.

Hi Jason, I am pretty sure it cannot to use it as an access point because I believe they need to be paired to act as one anttenna, per se. You may wish to contact their support team to confirm since I am not absolutely certain.

Personally I would switch the cisco out as well. You lose all the benefit and power of Ubiquiti software capabilities with only 1 access point. Ubiquiti is designed to be true enterprise grade that gives you the ability to add 100 of these and have them appear as 1 wireless network. Ubiquiti's strong point is the included management software used to set these up. Your devices will automatically connect to the WAP with the highest signal. You can do what you wish, and it would certainly work as you describe, but having an enterprise grade management console is pretty darn cool. I have three of these in my home .

Yes..... we have several in different locations that wirelessly connect to our main router. They work excellent! Joe

These are AP's only. I have them configured so that each AP is hard wired to its own Ethernet connection. according to my search and forum posts on community.UBNT.com, it is not possible.

Yes that is exactly what you can do. Actually Access Points are designed just for this purpose vs. Wireless repeaters. Hope it works for you the 2 I bought worked great and have a "guest" account you can enable as well.
