Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Pro Acces Point Wifi 6 AP 5.3Gbps 300+ clients (U6-PRO), dual band

Product Information

The Ubiquiti Wi-Fi 6 Pro (U6-Pro-US) is the newer, Wi-Fi 6, version of the previous Wi-Fi 5 Pro access point, the UAP-AC-Pro. Without parallel streams, the default TCP window and buffer size of iPerf doesn’t always saturate a fast wireless channel. The AC-Mesh and AC-Mesh-Pro are still workhorses, and their superior antenna options make them better options in some situations.

The UniFi U6-Pro is able to serve a large number of concurrent clients to ensure reliable wireless coverage - even on high density deployments.

Additionally, the improved security features of WiFi 6 ensure that sensitive business data remains protected. Management is made easy via the UniFi Controller or UniFi Network app which allows for streamlined set up and configuration.In general, I think it makes sense to start planning an upgrade or a new UniFi network with the U6-Pro as the default option.

The Flume 2 provides wifi whole-house water monitoring without requiring cutting plumbing or external power allowing you to see check water usage and get notified of leaks in near real time. There’s also the promise of Wi-Fi 6E on the horizon, which is a more meaningful upgrade than the 10-20% speed improvement you can expect from upgrading a good Wi-Fi 5 AP. The U6-Pro's approach balances between maintaining a well-functioning network and ensuring a secure environment.It is IPX5 certified, meaning it can be used indoors or out, and mounted in the same way the FlexHD can be.

Therefore, devices purchased at different times will have different expiry dates in line with their purchase date. The unfortunate reality of long-range access points is that a lot of the time, the client you’re using is the limiting factor. The U6-Mesh should be considered with the AC-Mesh, Mesh Pro, and FlexHD for new outdoor installations. The UAP-AC-Pro I have currently looks to be the exact same size, 197mm x 197mm x 35mm, as the new WiFi 6 Pro AP so I should be able to use the existing mounting bracket I have in the ceiling.The U6-Pro-US access point has a 52% 5ghz wifi speed increase over the previous Unifi Pro based on the iPerf speed tests. In ideal conditions you’ll get closer, but data rates are like the speed of light — you’ll only achieve a fraction of it. The Wi-Fi 6 version of the Ubiquiti UniFi Pro router, U6-Pro-US, was a worthwhile upgrade over my previous generation UAP-AC-Pro and even HD access points. The difference between the U6-Lite and U6-LR is large enough that it could be the deciding factor between needing one or two APs to cover a given area. I did my best to keep an even playing field and use a clean channel, but my house is not an RF testing lab.
