Ubiquiti UniFi AP AC Pro

Five of these will be scattered over my brother's house to provide 802.11ac wireless throughout the living areas. Like the APU2, these run a recent LEDE build, with transmission power and channels tuned to provide optimal coverage throughout the house. Sadly enough, the power provided by the HP 1920 PoE+ switch does not keep the access points running reliably, so in the end, we had to resort to the injectors Ubiquiti provides anyway.
