Overview
Overview
The Ubiquiti UniFi AP AC Pro is a dual-band 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5) access point designed for both indoor and outdoor enterprise deployments. With simultaneous 3×3 MIMO on 5 GHz (1,300 Mbps) and 3×3 MIMO on 2.4 GHz (450 Mbps), it delivers 1,750 Mbps aggregate throughput and supports 200+ concurrent clients. A weatherproof design, dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, and 802.3af/802.3at PoE compatibility make it one of the most versatile access points in the UniFi range.
Managed through the UniFi Network application, the UAP-AC-Pro features Zero Handoff Roaming, guest portal management, RF mapping, and remote firmware updates — all without per-device licensing fees. It shares the same mounting hardware as the standard UniFi AP, making it a straightforward upgrade path for existing installations.

In the box
UniFi AP AC Pro access point with wall/ceiling mounting kit. Multi-packs do not include PoE adapters — recommend powering via a UniFi PoE switch.
Software
Managed by UniFi Network
The UAP-AC-Pro is managed through the UniFi Network application — the same centralised platform used across all UniFi access points, switches, and gateways. Configure, monitor, and update access points from a single interface on-site or via UniFi Cloud, with no per-device licensing fees.
Core capabilities
- Zero Handoff Roaming — multiple APs act as a cluster appearing as a single AP, enabling seamless client roaming with no renegotiation required.
- RF map & spectral analysis — monitor and analyse radio frequencies for optimal AP placement and troubleshooting.
- Guest portal & hotspot — captive portals with voucher, payment, and password authentication, with full custom branding.
- Multi-site management — one controller manages multiple distributed deployments, each logically separated with its own config, maps, and admin accounts.
- WLAN groups — create multiple WLAN groups and assign them to AP radios for flexible large-deployment configuration.
- Remote firmware updates — push updates to all access points remotely without on-site access.
Requirements
| UniFi Network | Latest stable release recommended |
| Hosting | Self-hosted or UniFi Cloud |
| Licensing | None — free with no per-device fees |
