Use Router To Create Network Without Internet

The UAP-AC-LR provides stable WiFi with a range comparable or better than most consumer routers, but gives additional control like the ability to create multiple SSID’s, configure tx and rx power, have fine control over channel usage, set bandwidth quotas and access restrictions by user group, etc. I paired mine with an EdgeRouter X to create a complete home networking solution with enterprise-level control. When considering this product you need to be aware of a few things: 1) This is a wireless access point only, not a router with built-in access point. You will need a separate router to route traffic on your network, and 2) You must install the controller software to configure this access point, and that certain features (statistics, reporting, manually applied user groups and the Guest Portal) require the controller software to be always running on your network; I installed it on a Raspberry Pi I already had, which works great. If either of these things sounds daunting to you, you may wish to consider the Ubiquity DreamMachine, an all-in-one controller, router and access point that also incorporates a firewall.

Great router. Granular setup when logged into rather than using an app. Internet speed on home network tripled. The old wifi 5 router could not absorb the bandwidth being provided by the cable company. Buy it. You won't be disappointed!

I have Synology NAS devices and thus expected the management software on this router to be good but it is even better than I expected. For example I can control (block) internet access to individual connected devices such as smart-plugs that I don't want phoning home to China and sending my Wi-Fi password. Can also prioritize some devices to get more bandwidth when the network is busy. So TVs don't buffer streaming video just because somebody else is downloading a big file. Configuration options are good for home or office use and includes security features I've never seen on other routers other than the Firewalla network firewall hardware. Can't comment on Wi-Fi range except that it works great everywhere in my apartment. I really appreciate that it has a tiny physical footprint -- unlike so many newer routers it takes up very little space on my office shelf. I don't have a backup internet provider so I can't use the feature that will switch to another internet source when the primary one fails. Even lets you configure an in-router VPN with free licenses for remote connections to your network. Bottom line it provides more than I need right now but has features I may want in the future, so I'm happy.

A simple switch to extend or create your network, it works!

Probably the best router to future proof your network.

This Nighthawk Modem Router is perfect for my internet needs!

It's a modem. You plug it into the wall and then into a router and you get internet.

Is the best router with wifi 6. Internet is fast and the coverage is awesome!

I enjoy using this product because the internet rarely goes out with Modem/Router.

This works beautifully in my redone network with all UniFi switching and a UDM-Pro for routing, network, and camera management. I already had the older version of this switch, a few Flex mini switches, and several UniFi access points, when I decided to go all in on UniFi switching (and a router). I was running a UCKG2+ for Network and Protect so I setup up the three new switches with it first before exporting the configuration and importing into a new UniFi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-P), which also replaced my Netgear R6250 router. This and the two new UniFi Lite 16-Port PoE+ switches adopted easily to the UCKG2+ and then transferred to the UDM-P - once I remembered to remove them from the UCKG2+ - which was in the network at the same time briefly. UniFi Network is able to draw an accurate diagram now - attached.
