This controller is capable of displaying who’s currently connected as well as how much traffic is being consumed by each device. It is needed for first time provisioning of our UniFi access point, but is not required to be running constantly as all of the configuration is stored within the device itself.
Ubiquiti UniFi products uses something called an “UniFi Network Controller” which is a piece of software that runs on your computer/server for managing multiple access points and configuration/provisioning. Anything higher such as 1 gigabit fiber or cable internet you will want to look into an Unifi UAP-AC-Pro or UAP-HD if performance is a factor. The UniFi AP supports up to 300 Mbps wifi speed at 2.4 GHz and 867 Mbps at 5GHz frequency making this sufficient for the average home user’s internet connection. In this guide I will be going with the Ubiquiti UniFi AP-AC Lite as this one fits our budget perfectly and is at the lowest price available. Finding the perfect UniFi access point can go in any direction, but for now we will focus on one that fits the budget. Their products range from consumer WiFi to cost-efficient enterprise networking gear that just works and rarely(if ever in my experience) goes kaput. Ubiquiti has been known throughout the world as one of the top dogs in the wireless and networking sector, having achieved the unthinkable with unparalleled quality and simplicity at a friendly price. For this we are going to look into setting up a standalone WiFi access point with Ubiquiti UniFi. Another is just simply a standalone WiFi access point that works on its own and is dependant of a separate router for DHCP/routing to the internet. WiFi access points come in 2 flavours: hybrid SOHO routers where both router and access points are combined into one in order to simplify the average house internet experience. It is time to implement a WiFi solution such as Ubiquiti UniFi Now that we have gotten ourselves a PfSense machine set up, there’s only one thing missing from the equation: WiFi! WiFi nowadays is as crucial as it gets, and the fact that a router such as PfSense is short of such functionality is something that can easily be addressed.
