Ubiquiti UAP-AC-IW Unifi AP-AC-IW IN WALL Access Point - (Enterprise Computing > Wireless Networking)

Product Information

Ethernet port supports data and PoE passthrough (requires 802.3at PoE+ input). The maximum PoE passthrough output is 12W. The Ubiquiti UAP-AC-IW isa dual-band 802.11AC WiFi Access Point powered from an Ethernet wall connection. It features two Gigabit Ethernet ports, one of which delivers PoE to power and connect an 802.3af device to the network. These three 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports support data only. Used to connect client devices to the LAN. An electrical wall box should be pre-installed with an Ethernet cable running from the box to a UniFi Switch with PoE. All UniFi Gateways, Cloud Gateways, and UniFi OS Consoles, as of November 2023. See my UniFi Router Comparison for more details. For clarity I've separated them into categories based on their role.

This access point isn't just about speed; it's also about capacity. With the ability to handle over 300 clients simultaneously, it's perfect for high-traffic environments. Whether it's a bustling office or a public venue, you won't have to worry about network congestion or slowdowns. Effortless Setup via BluetoothThe Cloud Keys are different. They are not gateways or routers, they only run UniFi OS applications. I’m including them to make comparing which models run which UniFi OS applications easier. Cloud Keys require the use of the USG, USG-Pro, UXG-Lite, UXG-Pro, or some 3rd party router or firewall. All UniFi Cloud Gateways, as of November 2023. These models are newer, and they all run UniFi OS. They have been called UniFi OS Consoles, Gateway Consoles, and now Cloud Gateways. They act as routers or firewalls, and also run the UniFi software applications like Network and Protect. These can’t be used with Cloud Keys, cloud services, or a self-hosted UniFi Network application. Turn existing wiring into per-room Wi-Fi with the UniFi PoE Switch series. (Requires Cat5e or higher)

The Ubiquiti U6-IW UniFi In-Wall WiFi 6 PoE Access Point is a dual-band, wall-mounted access point, with four (4) GbE RJ45 ports, that brings plug-and-play WiFi 6 to your home or office. One of the U6-IW's ports also supports PoE output so you can connect and power a device via Ethernet. With its 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi 6 bands, the U6-IW offers an aggregate, over-the-air throughput rate of 5.3 Gbps, which can support over 300 clients. The U6-IW is also Bluetooth-compatible so it can be set up in minutes and managed from anywhere via the UniFi Network web application or mobile app. Key Features PoE+ input is required to use PoE passthrough. Connect this port to a UniFi Switch with PoE that is connected to your LAN and DHCP server.

We'll start by looking at all of the current options for UniFi gateways, including some older ones that Ubiquiti no longer lists on their official store. Current Gateways Please Note:PoE Injectors are not included with this device. Ubiquiti UniFi AC In-Wall Access Point (UAP-AC-IW)

Enjoy lightning-fast wireless connections with the 5 GHz band featuring 4x4 MU-MIMO and OFDMA, and the 2.4 GHz band with 2x2 MU-MIMO. This provides you with the best of both worlds, ensuring smooth 5.3Gbps AX speeds for uninterrupted 4K streaming, lag-free gaming, and efficient browsing. Versatile Connectivity with Four GbE RJ45 Ports IMPORTANT: The UAP-IW-HD requires a UniFi Switch with PoE for power. Passive PoE adapters are not recommended. The Ubiquiti U6-IW doesn't just stop at wireless connectivity; it also offers four (4) 1GbE RJ45 ports. One of these ports even supports PoE output, providing you with versatile connection options. Whether you need to connect wired devices, power other PoE-enabled equipment, or expand your network, this access point has you covered. Support for Over 300 Clients
