With the Dream Machine 4x4 MU-MIMO AC1733 Wave-2 Dual-Band Gigabit Access Point from Ubiquiti Networks, you can expand the reach of your existing wireless network. Multiple users can connect to the network via wireless or wired connections. The Dream Machine supports 4x4 MU-MIMO dual-band Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) Wave 2 wireless access, as well as four wired Gigabit connections.

The Dream Machine also doubles as a security gateway for your network. It has a built-in firewall and can act as an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and Intrusion Detection System (IDS). Additionally, the Dream Machine can function as a VPN server and as an a UniFi Network Controller. As a VPN, it can provide remote users with secure tunnels into the network, helping to safeguard sensitive data. As a Network Controller, it has the ability to provide network management, analytics, and more.

Utilizing the UniFi Network app for iOS and Android devices, you can manage and analyze your network through the Dream Machine. As a network controller, you can use it to view network topology, manage system traffic, engage a Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) to see what's using the most bandwidth, and much more.

View network topology and configuration, real-time statistics, and debugging metrics. Monitor the network's vitals and make on-the-fly adjustments.

The proprietary Deep packet Inspection (DPI) engine includes the latest application identification signatures to track which applications (and IP addresses) are using the most bandwidth.

As a Network Controller, the Dream Machine can provide configurable reporting and analytics to manage large user populations and expedite troubleshooting. Advanced search and sorting capabilities help to make network management more efficient.

Create multiple LAN and WLAN groups and assign them to respective UniFi devices and VLAN tags.

Detect and troubleshoot nearby interference, analyze radio frequencies, and choose optimal access point placement. The auto-optimize feature configures the Dream Machine with best practice settings, and the included radio AI capability optimizes channel selection using a genetic algorithm.

RF performance and configuration features include spectral analysis, airtime fairness, band steering, and cell-size tuning.

Upload a map or use Google maps to represent the areas where any (optional) UniFi devices are located. Use the predictive map feature to get a preview of coverage, and to help avoid dead spots.

This functionality enables wireless connectivity between access points for extended range, wireless adoption of access points in their default state, and real-time changes to network topology.

Configure custom settings, including authentication, Hotspot setup, and the option to use your own external portal server.

Q: 1. Does the Deco 5 work well between floors?

A: Yes, the TP-Link Deco M5 AC1300 MU-MIMO Dual-Band Whole Home Wi-Fi System (3-Pack) BH #TPDECOM53PK works well between floors. How well it will work will come down to construction materials and distance.

Q: 2. What small form-factor antenna(s) are recommended for use with these for a PtP link of under 1000m?

A: Unfortunately, there are currently no rated small form factor antennas, from Ubiquity, at this time.

Q: 3. I want to install a ubiquity mesh ap system that will be attached to a local IP that is radio frequency transmitted internet service. Can I use a Unifi M AP and attach via cat5 to \a switch inside a steel wall building to supply internet service to the inside of the building from the unifi mesh ap?

A: Yes but you should use a separate antenna/receiver to supply the network feed to the switch which would then be routed to feed to your mesh APs.

Q: 4. Can ypu use this with any wifi router anf POE injector?

A: This unit is capable of passing through a POE signal as long as you already have an injector in the line. It does not inject power on its own. It is compatible with any POE injector or router.

Q: 5. I live with access to a guest wifi from business below the signal is pretty good but localized. Is this a help or something else from Ubiqiti....?

A: Yes the UAP-AC-M-US will extend a Wi-Fi area. It must be wired to the router. Preferably a Ubiquiti router or switch.

Q: 6. Since this has POE+DATA out, can you connect a CloudKey2 to this device? It appears so by the specification.

A: It's recommended to use the Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus with a network switch rather than directly with an access point like this Ubiquiti Networks UAP-AC-IW-US UniFi Access Point Enterprise Wi-Fi System.

Q: 7. Will these work with a UAP AC? Also do i need one UAP AC on each end one to receive the signal and one to send?

A: This would be a mesh access point. The number of units would be heavily dependent on the use case scenario.

Q: 8. will they work in a freezer -15F ?

A: Yes, the Ubiquiti Networks UAP-AC-M-US UniFi AC Mesh Wide-Area Indoor/Outdoor Dual-Band Access Point BH #UBUAPACMUS has an operating temperature rating of -22 to 158°F / -30 to 70°C/ Operating Humidity 5 to 95%.

Q: 9. How many users can use this device simultaneously?

A: In theory, the Ubiquiti Networks UniFi nanoHD 4x4 MU-MIMO 802.11ac Wave-2 Access Point BH #UBUAPNANOHD can support up to 200+ clients.

Q: 10. Which POE injector is needed for this AP? Is it Ubiquiti Networks 48V PoE Adapter with Gigabit LAN?

A: Yes, a 48V PoE Adapter would be compatible with this unit.
