Chapter 1: Product Overview
Thank you for purchasing the Ubiquiti UniFi AP-Mini. The
UniFi AP-Mini also works with the UniFi AP, AP-LR, and
AP-Outdoor.
The UniFi AP-Mini includes the UniFi Controller software
that allows you to manage your wireless network using
your Web browser. This User Guide is for use with the UniFi
AP-Mini and version 2.0 or above of the UniFi Controller
software.
The UniFi AP-Mini also includes the necessary hardware
for mounting the unit on a wall or a ceiling. The UniFi
AP-Mini supports Passive PoE, which works with the
included PoE adapter. If you want to power the UniFi
AP-Mini from an 802.3af compliant switch, Ubiquiti
Networks offers the optional Instant 802.3af Adapter to
instantly transform any PoE device into a fully 48V 802.3af
compliant product. Product details are available on our
