Hello everyone,

Does anyone know about the weather resistance of the above-mentioned outdoor access point?
I couldn’t find any information about the protection rating, and I would like to install it on a part of the facade where it would be fully exposed to the weather.
Has anyone had any experience with this?
It specifically concerns the "Mesh" model, not the "Mesh Pro," which is too large and is said to lose performance very quickly sideways.

Good luck

The biggest disadvantage is that birds always sit on the antennas and misalign them.
The most modern and unobtrusive version of the Unify Outdoor Access Point is the Flex HD. We use this one along with the Mesh Pro.
There is no shelter or anything similar available.
Even the "basic" Mesh model is fully suitable for outdoor use. However, it’s better to choose the Flex HD (performance, support duration, etc.).

Yes, we also have that one in the garden. Very satisfied!

@rick2018: If you mount the FlexHD on the wall, how do you handle the network cables to prevent moisture issues?

Simply insert it straight in. I also sealed it with PU foam.

Did you attach one to the facade, and could you share a picture of how you did it?
