Very interesting teardown thanks Clive. Looks like a very well constructed unit. I've been running a Ubiquiti mesh WiFi at my home the last few years to provide outdoor coverage. By far the worst WiFi performance I've ever experienced. Not the same model of AP though, mine are the cheaper "UAP-AC-M" model which are in an all plastic housing. I even bought a single £30 outdoor AP from Aldi as a bit of a joke just to see how it performed in comparison. The coverage and performance was better than the 4 Ubiquiti units. I don't trust the firmware security in the Aldi unit though, so it didn't stay. Got a feeling that the particular Ubiquiti model I use is a lemon. Good excuse to upgrade to the better model in your video...!

I love UbiquitI, but their pricing has gone off the wall in the last few years as they have been repositioning themselves. Still do suggest them for people who can afford their kit to get amazing hardware and beautiful interfaces. The last device I have running of theirs is a bullet camera that has worked well for 4 years, but the IR filter mechanism has failed, as well as their SPDs.

These are fully managed wifi switches. So they have to have the processing power to deal with vlans and such. Plus it is designed for more than 300 clients.
