And another one died...I'm having terrible luck with these AC units.
I had issues with Apple devices with UniFi Ap's when upgraded to any firmware higher than 3.0Spyder, do you have problems with Apple devices (if you use any) with the AC units ? Its kind of unrelated to the current generation of AC dying, but some of my sites complaints about disconnections with the Unifi Pro and I was wondering if switching to the AC would solve this !
Finally got my AC test unit back from RMA. Everything is fine, but I experienced a similar issue with iOS devices and a few different versions of 3. Backed off to 2.4.4 and it's stable.
3m of cable? Is that a common thing? Haven't heard that yet. So far my test unit has only been on a 6' cable off the lab switch. I'll try a long cable and letcha know.

About two weeks.
Just a heads up- as I discovered today- ALWAYS READ THE MANUAL.
The new AC line requires POE+ @22watts. My older 2520 HP switches did not have enough power to run the AP's. I did have one fail, and it may have been due to under-powering it- I have no idea. My options are spend $3k in 2920-POE+ switches, or just use the injectors. I opted for the second, but then one of my injectors failed. I learned some time ago with these low end devices to always order a spare with the money saved, and it paid off again today.
I've got a 5 unit deployment, had some random reboots in the beginning but we think it was because the AP had 60+ users on it. once we got it to under 30 things seemed to get better.
EDIT:
Take that back, looks like our restarts are still happening... bummer

I've recently moved and the place we are at I cannot run ethernet cable. I originally planned to upgrade my aging WRT350N AP to a Ubiquiti product but now I'm in a situation where I need gigabit speeds, so I was looking at 11ac. There will only be 1 client constantly on the wireless primarily accessing a file server for video streaming, and I was wanting to stick with Ubiquiti but this thread has me slightly worried. Later on issues seem to be resolved - or would you all recommend something else for a 11ac AP?
AC won't give you full gigabit speeds. What is the speed needed for? If it's just streaming, 5.8N would give you at least 20MB/s.
If you get the 802.11ac AP, stay away from all 3.0+ versions of firmwareI've recently moved and the place we are at I cannot run ethernet cable.

Any indication on when 3.x is going public?I'm on 3.1.9.2442 and so far no reboots...
