Description
The cAP ac is a very capable and powerful wireless access point that looks beautiful on both walls and ceilings. The concurrent dual band wireless radio supports dual chain 2 GHz 802.11b/g/n and 5 GHz in a/n/ас standards, and will provide coverage in 360 degrees around it.
Even though the radio supports repeater mode, the two Ethernet ports give you the ability to extend your network with cables, even if PoE power is required, since the cAP ac supports 802.3af/at PoE input on the first port, and passive PoE output on the second port. Device supports IPsec hardware acceleration too.
cAP ac-US (USA) is factory locked for 2412-2462MHz, 5170-5250MHz and 5725-5835MHz frequencies. This lock can not be removed.

Good performance for the price
I use this as a CAP connected to a RB4011 wireless router on the other side of our house. I set CapsMan server up on the RB4011 router. Plug this Cap AC in and CapsMan server finds it and configures it. This access point has decent range and speed. We now have stronger bars on the other side of our house than we did, before. This unit COULD be connected directly to a cable modem and a switch to run a small LAN. I ran a few speed tests through it and it held up to my 200/20 cable modem connection through Ethernet very well. I get wireless speeds of around 160 Mbps. Quickset will get you up and running quickly. You have the Web interface and CLI to fine-tune settings, if needed. For the price, this unit is a decent performer. In the future, I would like to see a larger unit with larger antenna gain and more Wifi chains. This unit compliments Mikrotik's routers running CapsMan server.
