Reviewing only performance, not mounting experience because I haven't mounted it yet!
The 4 lan ports off the bottom are a bonus for temporary hookups. Hosted a 5 person lan party, kicked off a guest wifi network for everyone's phones and plugged 3 of my 5 total computers into the lan ports. We used 400gb of data in 3 days, lots of Twitch streaming and latency intensive gaming (CSGO at a semi-pro level, it was my team that was laning) and this access point killed it. We had zero Internet related issues. The management is annoying that you have to basically run an application instead of it having it's own ip address but that's the ubiquity way for now. I do love the extra features that that process provides though, like if you had multiple devices, it's all 1 web portal. Obviously this is for the ultimate tech savvy person and I think it's perfect.
Range: this is anecdotal but seems to me the engenious eap1300 we deploy at work have more range but this product was going in my condo and I didn't want a big saucer on my ceiling. This is quite a bit smaller in size and sleeker. I only have a 1200 sqft condo and it covers my area well. Even into my garage through the concrete wall. But I have mine perfectly centered in my space. If I put it in the far corner and it has to beam through my kitchen and guest bathroom, I get 50 down as opposed to 300. But that is obvious since it has to pass through a mirror and my appliances. I don't think anything else would give much better results.
Not a fan that the injector is pretty much proprietary. 48v isn't normal. I didn't really search too hard for a generic one like a tp-link or something so it's possible I just missed it.
I think 5 starts is too much but 4 is too little. Probably a 9/10. I imagine that in a large house having 3+ of these would be awesome though.
