Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-M — 802.11ac Indoor/Outdoor Mesh Access Point
Affordable, flexible Wi-Fi coverage that goes wherever you need it. The Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-M (UniFi AC Mesh) is the compact, weatherproof, dual-band access point built for plug-and-play mesh networking — extending reliable 802.11ac Wi-Fi across yards, patios, large rooms, and wide outdoor areas without the cost or hassle of running cable everywhere. With 360° omnidirectional coverage, long range, simple PoE installation, and the famously easy UniFi platform, it’s the proven, budget-friendly way to blanket big spaces in solid wireless.
Dependable 802.11ac Speed, Indoors or Out
The UAP-AC-M brings reliable dual-band performance to flexible deployments. It delivers 802.11ac Wi-Fi with speeds up to 867 Mb/s on the 5 GHz band and up to 300 Mb/s on the 2.4 GHz band — a combined rate of up to 1,167 Mbps. Those speeds are backed by a 2×2 MIMO antenna configuration that supports multiple data paths for a more efficient, more reliable connection for every user.
It’s plenty of bandwidth for streaming, browsing, calls, and everyday connectivity across homes, offices, and busy outdoor spaces.
- 802.11ac dual-band performance
- 2×2 MIMO for efficient, multi-path connectivity
- Up to 867 Mb/s (5 GHz) and 300 Mb/s (2.4 GHz)
- Up to 1,167 Mbps combined throughput
Wide-Area Coverage With 360° Omnidirectional Antennas
This is where the AC Mesh shines. It features two omnidirectional Wi-Fi antennas (2×2 MIMO) that deliver robust, 360° coverage in every direction, with a wide reach of up to 600 feet (183 m). That all-around signal makes it ideal for furnishing large indoor or outdoor areas with complete, even network coverage from a single unit.
Need to push the signal further or shape it for a specific area? It also includes two RP-SMA connectors, so you can swap in optional connectorized antennas for expanded range or custom coverage patterns.
Indoor or Outdoor — Built to Take the Weather
Why limit your Wi-Fi to indoor spaces? The UAP-AC-M is built for both. Its enclosure is designed to withstand the elements, making it ideal for outdoor deployment — from patios and courtyards to parking areas and open campuses — while working just as well mounted indoors.
A handy touch for installers: a unique provisioning LED provides administrator location tracking and alerts for each device, making large mesh deployments easier to manage and troubleshoot.
Mount It Almost Anywhere
Flexibility extends to installation. The UAP-AC-M includes a wall/pole/fast-mount kit, so you can fix it to a wall, clamp it to a pole, or even fast-mount it onto an optional Ubiquiti high-gain antenna for extended-range coverage. All the accessories you need are included in the box.
One Cable, Simple PoE Install
Deployment is refreshingly easy. The UAP-AC-M is 802.3af PoE-compliant and also supports 24V passive PoE, so a single Ethernet cable carries both power and data. Power it from an 802.3af-compatible switch, a UniFi PoE switch, an EdgePoint, or the included Gigabit PoE adapter — no separate power supply needed, and no nearby outlet required.
Mesh and Manage It All From One Platform
This is the UniFi advantage: enterprise-grade control that’s genuinely easy to use. The UAP-AC-M is fully managed through the UniFi Controller software, accessible through any standard web browser or the UniFi mobile app, and an enterprise Wi-Fi network can be configured and administered without any special training. As its name says, it’s built for mesh — wirelessly extending coverage across spaces where cabling is impractical.
Powerful Features Built In
- Real-time status, automatic device detection, and map loading
- Guest and hotspot management with voucher-based authentication and billing integration
- Advanced security options and per-user bandwidth controls
- Multi-site management from a single cloud-based controller, ideal for service providers
