User questions & answers

Question:	Can this be used with any router, or does ir require a Unifi Controller
Answer:	No you can install them yourself. You'll need a PoE injector so send per through the Ethernet cable, then use the screws it some double sided tape to mount them wherever.
Question:	Is this an AP or a range extender
Answer:	International version uses more channels which I don't think are necessary unless there is a lot of traffic in your area, if you are in the US you must use the US version
Question:	La antena trae adaptador de energía
Answer:	Tratamos de mantener ambas versiones en stock, por padron enviamos la versión de US, Para envíos internacionales, envíenos una comunicación despues de realizar el pedido. ¡Gracias!
Question:	Does this hook to existing router
Answer:	I tried that, didn't have any luck. Doesn't mean it's not impossible but you want to reach out to the UBNT community. Create an account and ask them. You'll get your answer for sure. Good luck.
Question:	Does it come with injectors
Answer:	Well I currently have about 23 clients connected to it. And it's running pretty well so far. You may notice the memory gonna be around 66%.... but then I also have another LBE sector with about 8 clients and the memory is the same percent. So don't worry about that. The cpu is around 50% at pick usage for. On average it's around 18 to 25... these are really light weight antennas comparing to other regular m5 sectors. You have to buy the radio and sectors antenna separate. Not saying they don't work. It's up to u and your solution. The LBE are working fine so far thu. Once you set it up correctly. Configure the best frequency.. and you will get the very best out of them.
Question:	Do these require a controller
Answer:	As others have said it does come with a 24v Poe injector. But don't the mistake I made, I put the injector in the house at the network switch without thinking how long the Cat-6 run was, 200 ft. in my case. The access point was flipping out! It finally occurred to me what I had done. Once I put the injector in the barn where the access point is, using a 20 ft. patch cable between them, everything worked great. Live and learn.
Question:	What does the package contain
Answer:	default is 4, but in the settings of the Unifi Controller, turn off wireless uplink and you can have 8. Uplink is only if you want to wireless transmit the network from one AP to another.
Question:	Does the access point need power? will it work with a d-link 10-port gigabit web smart poe switch including 2 gigabit sfp ports (dgs-1210-10p
Answer:	You can use any device with routing functions, like if you are replacing a small office or home office WiFi router. That Asus rt65 should be fine, though you will want to disable the radio on the Asus WiFi to allow the ubiquity to be the WiFi ap in the house.
Question:	Do I need an electrician to install these or do they just attach to the ceiling? I'm desperate for wifi in my 2300 sq ft home
Answer:	The Lite is 2x2 Mimo in 2.4GHz and 5GHz. The Pro is 3x3 Mimo in 2.4 and 5GHz. In other words, the Pro does about twice the speed as the Lite.

User questions & answers

Question:	I use a couple laptops with Linux Mint 17 64 bit. I wonder if anyone uses this with Linux? Been to the Mint forums and so far, no joy with one user
Answer:	no. the Nintendo switch doesn't support Bluetooth audio devices yet, even though it uses Bluetooth for its controllers. (i had the same question and looked it up)
Question:	i have an asus laptop that doesnt have blue tooth is this what i need to use wireless headphones with my computer
Answer:	Hi. Yes it does work with my Dell linux laptop with either the USB 1.0 or the USB 2.0 ports. It comes with a cd with drivers but it wasnt needed because the drivers in Ubuntu or Kubuntu Linux OS detected it as soon as it was installed.
Question:	Does this do multiple pairing
Answer:	I would think it's not recommended because it's a potential security breach, assuming your company computer even lets you use it. You would be bridging your company's ultra secure network to an insecure external network which can expose your company's network to breaches. It likely would be against security policy and in many companies could be grounds for dismissal.
Question:	Will this work on windows
Answer:	The official Bluetooth specifications state seven is the maximum number of Bluetooth devices that can be connected at once. However, three to four devices is a practical limit, depending on the types of devices and profiles are used. I could be showing my age here but I think 108.8 kilobits per second (in each direction) is the maximum throughput. That should be fine for headphones + controller.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the interface PCIe x1 or x
Answer:	PCIe x1. So it will Work in any PCIe slot
Question:	Where can i find the proper drivers for the pce-ac55bt b1 for windows 10, every time i update or install from the cd it gets uninstalled from my comp
Answer:	I was easily able to find the drivers for windows 10 by entering the adapter info on the Asus web site or link for convenience below. www.asus.com/us/Networking/PCE-AC55BT-B1/HelpDesk_Download/
Question:	can you use this to connect bluetooth devices to your pc
Answer:	Yes. In fact, I'm using it exclusively for this purpose. I've disabled its WiFi features via the Windows Device Manager. It seems to work very well as a Bluetooth adapter, better than a few USB plug-ins I've used. Seems to deal with Windows 10 pairing/connected issues better. Thought the external antenna might contribute to extended range, but it seems to be no better than the typical antenna-less plug-in adapters.
Question:	Possible to just use the M.2 card directly? Thinking of just using the m.2 card directly in the motherboard without the pcie card
Answer:	The answer is yes. Based on product description you should be able to do that if you have the correct M.2 slot. "the mPCIe card can be removed from the PCIe adapter, enabling it to be installed in a variety of barebones mini PCs."
