UniFi Express (UX-US)

This is definitely the best tiny access point I have owned. I use these to create a small network for band and tech use at live events and this covers a 200-300 seat room with no issues, it lets me know how many people are connected, and it is tiny. This has plenty of options to configure it for whatever your use case. I can also plug it into another existing network without changing any ip addresses on my existing devices, which has made it really flexible for my specific use case as its in a different environment for every event.

Very easy setup, UI is very easy to understand & informative. The price is very worth it. I was worried that no external antennas would lead to connection issues. However the signal reaches through my entire house and works very well maintaining almost full bars of stability everywhere. My only complaint is that there is no ventilation ports so the device gets very hot.

Basic setup is easy, but also provides lots of low-level configuration settings to give you full control of your wireless network.

This *was the perfect compact, yet powerful and feature rich router for smaller use cases - especially in the Unify ecosystem - Make sure sure you are realistic about your needs. *The price increases and newer offerings chip away at the five stars **AND, patches and updates are few and far between - so either Unifi does not care about the platform, or they are choosing to focus on other platforms.

Small, uses 10 watts of power, has single wan and single lan port. Also doubles as wifi 6 access point and I can control every aspect of my network with ease. Built in VPN, ad-blocking and firewall support.
