Ubiquiti UAP-XG UniFi XG WiFi 5 Access Point
Overview
The Ubiquiti UAP-XG is a UniFi XG access point built around WiFi 5 (802.11ac Wave 2) technology. It uses 4x4 MIMO on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, providing eight spatial streams in total.
The UAP-XG provides a maximum data rate of 450 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 1.733 Gbps on 5 GHz. It also includes a dedicated security radio and a 1/10 GbE ICM Ethernet interface for high-speed wired connectivity.
Wireless Performance
The access point supports 4x4 MIMO on both operating bands. Ubiquiti specifies up to 1.733 Gbps on the 5 GHz radio and up to 450 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz radio, with maximum transmit power of 25 dBm on each band.
The integrated antennas provide 6 dBi gain on 2.4 GHz and 8 dBi gain on 5 GHz. The UAP-XG supports up to eight BSSIDs per radio.
Networking Interfaces
The UAP-XG has one Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet port and one 1/10 GbE ICM Ethernet port. The 10 GbE interface can be used for high-speed network connectivity, while the Gigabit port provides an additional Ethernet connection.
For 10 GbE operation, Ubiquiti specifies connecting the device to an 802.3bt PoE switch and enabling flow control on the upstream switch port for maximum performance.
Security and Management
The UAP-XG includes a dedicated security radio and supports wireless security features including WPA-PSK and WPA-Enterprise with WPA/WPA2 and TKIP/AES. UniFi Network is used for device management.
Installation
The UAP-XG supports ceiling, wall, and junction-box mounting. The device measures 228 × 228 × 50 mm and is designed for indoor installation or protected outdoor placement under an eave or other covered location. Ubiquiti states that it should not be installed in an open outdoor environment.
Power
The UAP-XG supports 802.3bt PoE and accepts a supported voltage range of 44–57V DC. Ubiquiti specifies maximum power consumption of 31W. A 50V DC, 1.2A Gigabit PoE adapter is listed for powering the device.
