Once again, a great video, Chris. Very comprehensive and no waffle. Keep them coming!

Damn, love those throwing those box thing, nice video. I like those coverage demonstration measurement.

I would love to see a comparison of this UAP-IW-HD to the nanoHD, especially in terms of range and signal distribution. I remember you said that a full test and comparison of the nanoHD was coming, after it's initial unboxing last year, but I don't see that in your videos. It seems that the UAP-IW-HD is in short supply. Since I need a solution this week, I will get a nanoHD, and if necessary, get the IW later. Keep up the good work! I am anxious to watch your Tesla videos, hopefully can do that soon!

I has that one right now in my house i love it i have the wood grain cover for mine the only issue i had with mine was it wouldnt take a update i had to command line in to manually update other than that is great....

Another great video Chris 👍

a top tip is to cut around the plate before you remove it. stops the paint and finish coming off.

Another usage is say in a finished part of your house where you have only one Ethernet cable and a number of devices that can be wired via Ethernet rather than wifi. This is my usage case. So with one device I get wifi, and wired connection for Apple TV, PlayStation and smart tv connection. Awesome content, as usual!!

I have a couple of them and had them since the middle of february. They work very well.

Thanks for the netspot link....been trying to find a decent analyser :-)

These would be awesome behind a wall mounted tv. Switch ports for tv/devices with ethernet and Wifi for Amazon sticks etc. Your AP would be hidden behind a tv as well.

Want that MCRN shirt.

I just think it gives you extra options which is great!

Chris- Thanks for all the work you do. You've been tremendous in helping all of us. What are your thoughts on MikroTik's hEX router and their switches? I'm considering MikroTik as well as the EdgeRouter and UniFi line and wanted to hear your thoughts.

Great video.and nice music...tks

Just bought this for my first floor wifi pretty excited to install. I needed wifi and ethernet ports.

I bought one of these at the suggestion on my IT guy at work to solve some issues I have in my house. I do not have a Unifi home network, I use the Google mesh network... I cannot seem to make this work... I am sure it is user error on my behalf but it seems impossible to find a video to help make this product work with a non-unifi network that aside, this video got me further than any other. thank you

Terrific video but especially the NetSpot portion.

Curious about the 5GHz only spot; whether the reading was bad or if there is not a bluetooth or other 2.4GHz spectrum device in the bedroom above the office (wireless speakers/headphones or something?).

Cool outro music

Hello Chris, Thank you for your videos as they have been superb and I have greatly appreciated them. Just a quick question on UAP-IW-HD. Do you think there would be a p[roble to install the UAP-IW-HD horizontally and not vertical? Personally, I don’t think there would be any problem but thought to see what you opinion would be. Out wall plates here in Australia are typically horizontal and want to simply remove the single data outlet and replace it with the UAP-IW-HD, sideways (horizontal). If I mount it vertical, part of the existing cutout in the wall will be visible. Mounting sideways (horizontal) would fit perfectly. Many thanks, Philip

Another great video. Any chance you can do a video on doing that site survey? Or maybe you already did and I don't see it.

Hello Cris. Will this product be an overkill for home use ? Thanks for everything you share with us

what software are you using for wireless site survey? edit: nvm, it's in the description, duh!

What is the wall construction please Chris? Generally timber and drywall, or are some walls solid?

Thanks for the review, quick question, will the UAP-IW-HD mesh with the UAP-AC-PRO that would already be present in a deployment?

Will there be an outdoor version of this?

Ironically the security feature of the screw, the raised nipple, makes it easier to use a straight screwdriver to screw it in/out.

I have a 3 gang wall box (Ethernet, UK power, UK power) - will an in-wall AP fitted to the Ethernet socket overhang and interfere with the power sockets?

Hi Chris, quick question on the UPA-AC-IW model as it's not immediately clear to me. If powering the AP via 802.3af from a USW-8-60W, I understand that I can't use PoE passthrough (and that's ok because it's not needed), but can I use both ports for data only? Or am I then limited to just using one of the ports? Thanks, Cosmin

What are your thoughts on installing these in a home versus APs on the ceiling?

Please can you talk about manage rstp "backup links" on multiple unifi switches?? Thanks

23:00: "please feed me human I haven't eaten in two days"

hi, great videos you have, do you know about the coverage of this models is the same than one uap ac pro or uap ac hd ???

What is your advise for home? Having streaming devices, such as AppleTV, FireStick 4K, iPads, iphones, google home, nest cameras? Do you think the UAP-AC-IW good enough?

Do I have more range with the ubiquiti nano HD or with this IW HD? I would like to buy one of this two but I don't know which one gives me better Wifi speeds and better coverage

Love the video! Can u do a video on roaming and how to set up multiple APs for best results. I have 2 AP Pros, 1 on each floor, but usually devices get stuck on one AP even if there is another one closer. Thanks!

What was the Tx power set to for each band?

Always enjoy your videos, very insightful! I have a question. I have a UAP AC-HD that was damaged by a leak from the room so it is showing on the network as disconnected. I have ordered a new one and installed it with no problem. However, the old one is still showing on the network as disconnected and I don't see an option to remove it. Can you help give me direction? Thanks

using this ap with wireless uplink, what is on the backside lan port in this scenario? would it be a complete trunk port again? so no way to lock down all the lan ports on the ap to a guest vlan only when using the wireless uplink i guess? thx!

With UAP-AC-IW-PRO & UAP-IW-HD you get the same conundrum as UAP-AC-PRO vs UAP-nanoHD. 2.4Ghz 3x3 MIMO & 5 Ghz 3x3 MIMO vs 2.4Ghz 2x2 MIMO & 5 Ghz 4x4 MU-MIMO.

What is the software you use for checking the strength and frequency in different areas?

Great video! Can you tell me if it's possible to power this device with an injector and connect it via mesh to an existing network?

My issue with the Ubiquiti Inwall APs is that Unifi does not have the ability to apply bandwidth limits to wired clients - at least not for clients plugged into the switches directly, I have not tested myself to see whether the in-AP switch can do this.

Sorry to bring up an old video. A couple of these feel in my lap. I don't have any existing unifi equipment. Could I plug this into my network to use as a wifi extender? Hoping it will mesh with router/modem and extender my ISP provided me with. Thanks

Nice, this is how to do an informative product review. As for the skins, I personally would not be interested in the ones where Ubiquiti chose a high contrast for their logo. The white one it comes with looks nicest to my eyes.

I'd love to see that same WiFi coverage map with the various UniFi APs in a single video. There are always so many "which AP should I choose" questions.

Is it possible to use this as a basic wifi bridge?I have a single UAP-AC-PRO and I want to get wired internet into my garage. Of course, I need to use a PoE to power it from the back of the unit, but it will not have data going into the back. So can it be made to join my current wifi and then give out internet from the ethernet ports? I might get the two-port model as I only need one ethernet giving out internet really. Thank you very much.

Do you know if this can be mounted behind a Television? I have CATV conduit to the back of my TV, would be nice to just mount it there behind my TV and then CAT6 into my TV from this and strengthen my network upstairs.

´can i use the uap ac in Wall like an wifi repeater? then make a conection between another unifi AP and de POE data out port of the AP In wall?

can you use this is a wireless bride with a poe injector to power it? say you have a sec camera that you cant hardwire, can you wirelessly connect this to an AP then use the poe out to power the camera?

Can I connect this to an ethernet port connected directly to the wan port on a UDM Pro, Power off a power injector and connect my modem into one of the spare ports and still receive internet?

Is it possible to get the following to work: Power a "Ubiquiti Networks UniFi AC IW" using a "Ubiquiti UniFi US-8-60W" and then power a "Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-PRO" from the PoE out on the "Ubiquiti Networks UniFi AC IW"?

Are integrated Switch managed for VLANs?

Hello, Chris, How do you feel about using the UAP-IW-X in a residential deployment? We’re building a house and will be using all Ubiquiti. Thank you.

What about putting the broadband through the mains wiring using something like TP-Link AV1300 broadband over power-line adapters located in places that will be inaccessible to customers.

Chris, Thank you for your content. Hopefully with your busy schedule you may be able to answer a question. I want to operate a G4 pro through the PoE port on the HD due to inability to run a new Ethernet cable from my switch to that current location. From the specs of the G4 pro and the pass through of the HD, I don’t see an issue as I also have an 150w 16 PoE switch. After activating the pass through through the controller, any issues you see?

What is the point of having to activate the VLAN function first instead of being able to select it directly? Regarding the first PoE port...why can't Ubiquiti still allow devices via MAC and prevent unknown devices from being connected?

Hi Chris Thank you for the very god and educational videos you always makes. You mention in this video that this UAP-IW-HD can be used in for example hotels. I help a hotel with Guest Wi-Fi where we used voucher and limited up-/download. All works fine on Wi-Fi. But We also the use Guest Network Vlan (55) on wired cable connections to the rooms. The wired connections works fine (also voucher) , to fine because there is no limitations on up-/download. We use USG + Cloudkey gen2 and all devices is Ubiquiti (Switches/AP). Is there a way to make this cable connection limited the same way as Wi-Fi so every guest have the limitations? Best regards Lars Petter Kristensen Denmark

If you're only wanting to use the 5ghz band, how much is it going to cut down on the signal coverage if you mount this behind a 65" TV, as opposed to placing it directly below the TV on the wall? Would obviously be a much cleaner install if it was mounted behind the TV, but don't want to sacrifice broadcasting a strong signal out.

Would you install one in your house in lieu of a traditional UAP-AC-Pro/HD? seems like a good alternative and cleaner look...with good antenna strength etc

I would love to see your shelves full of unused Ubiquiti gear.

Any issue running this with Cat5e stranded? What the house was wired with.

Time for a new camera? video quality seems a bit off. Great video though!

What software is used to get coverage map

They can connect without data cable, only via wireless mesh?

Maybe I missed it, but can you turn OFF the LED indicator?

would love to see a comparison of nano-HD vs IW-HD. here is my situation. designing a new home. It is going to cost m e $166 to run an ethernet cable to the ceiling. two floor home and if i put two nano's then it will be $166 each. i could avoid this and plug and IW-HD to the many ethernet cables coming into my walls. Or i could do a combo. have one nano and then another IW-HD to my wall ethernet. I need to know what is the best solution that is cost effective. worst case if i have to run two ethernet cables to my ceilings for nano-HD i am fine but do i need that. it is a 3200 sqft open. Open plan downstairs and 5 rooms upstairs.

Hi Chris I like your dog... 😁 It looks like already very old. 😁 I love your videos and in fact, because of you I bought two Ubiquiti M5 for receiving the signal of operators in one mountain, and send it down to the camp site where I have the router for share on the rooms. How can I send you a picture of my installation?

Wait why is the pro more expensive than the HD

Hasn't UBNT already EOL'ed these? I thought I saw somewhere they weren't releasing FW for them already.

Chris, do you think having one per bedroom is overkill? Would the UAP-AC-IW be overkill as well? I would like to eliminate buying the mini flex switch and use these instead. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone, get the WiFi coverage in all bedrooms and still have additional LAN ports.

Locking down the open ports is a bit of a moot point. I get it, but if a user is not getting the access they need, they'll just jack into one of the ports they see in use. You should never have trusted assets that are not physically controlled, period.

How am from philippines do i have discount im a reseller

Small flat head defeats torx security all day long.

Those new aps are too expensive! They should try to find a way to cut the prices ...

I bet your dog hates you ;-) Thanks for the video !

you can rip the whole thing from the wall.. just saying

Cool Ass dawg!

These packaging boxes are pretty wasteful and pretty annoying for the low voltage company. Don’t fold flat, plastic wrap, lots of wasted glossy retail ink and electricity in finishing. When you get 49 of these you end up with just as big of a box as it came in, which is like 3 full boxes. Lots of construction supers get annoyed that you are not breaking down boxes in cities like NYC. They foot the bill for those little dumpsters.

I may or may not like this video.

If you have the money to spend on this upmarket brand just get a pro company to install it.

I love you videos but throwing the packaging and instructional materials across the room is getting old now.
