Just about every router and modem/router combo contains a wireless access point these days. This component is often of questionable quality, especially for modem/router combos that are handed out by providers. Access points can also offer a solution if you wish to extend your Wi-Fi network to a room in your house that is not covered by your "main router". Ubiquiti's Unifi series offers interesting, centrally manageable access points. Although primarily intended for the enterprise market, we hear that they are frequently considered for home use as well. We took a closer look at the UAP, the UAP-Pro, and the UAP-AC.

The boxes of all three access points mention that these devices are targeted at the so-called enterprise market, or in other words, at large companies. A number of things reflect this. First of all, they have the shape of a smoke detector, meaning that you're essentially forced to put them on a wall or on the ceiling. Furthermore, given that they're white, they blend in relatively well with your average enterprise environment, where the ceiling and walls are likely white as well.
