Office Wireless Upgrade

Hey Guys,

I am upgrading my client's office wireless and confused on what UniFi WAP to purchase.  There is UAC AC Pro and UAP AC Lite.  What is the difference?  Are both for office use?  Also, is 5Ghz band used at business?  Thanks.

Ok thanks!  What POE switch to use with it, ToughSwitch or UniFi switch?
When setting up the AP, should I use 5 Ghz or 2.4 Ghz band for the office?
Hopefully your AP's will be dual-band and dual radio, meaning they support both bands at the same time.
If not, buy something else!

You want all your SSID's (except in very rare exceptions) to broadcast on both 2.4 and 5 GHz
You need 2.4 GHz for some devices while want 5 GHz for most your devices.
Dual band will broadcast under 1 SSID, correct?
