Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Pro Access Point | US Model | PoE Adapter not Included (U6-Pro-US)

I am an IT expert, my main network is all manually managed Mikrotik products including multiple POE switches, >3 access points, and multiple routers. I decided to see what the fuss was about for Ubiquiti and purchased this to setup at a remote location, in order to truly use all of the features you need deploy their controller software to manage the device...perhaps the controller doesnt need to be running 24/7 to operate, but it really is needed to manage or diagnose the network. This is a bit of a bummer and definitely makes this for more advanced users only, at least Mikrotik can be configured 100% of every feature with a web browser, an iOS app, or a Windows based app (that works perfectly in Wine on Mac/Linux). It wouldnt be as bad if you could actually build a full network with Mikrotik and use the controller to manage the firewall/router, and perhaps some day you can...but today most all Ubiquiti hardware isnt even available to purchase unless you pay scalper prices. This AP is WiFi 6, and it does offer some improvement in performance over my very old Mikrotik hardware...but not hardly enough to truly justify the nearly 3X price tag over my WAP AC (RBWAPG-5HACT2HND). I wont be replacing my completely reliable Mikrotik network anytime soon, and the 2nd location has this Unifi 6 Pro paired with a Mikrotik router since Ubiquiti doesnt offer full solutions at any reasonable price point.

I bought this to maximize my new Fire Stick which can use Wifi 6. The entire wifi network was significantly improved. It did require me to get a better power supply to fully utilize its capabilities.

I have over 50 devices running off this one AP and still am getting speeds over 500Mbs with lag.

Went from a LR to a Pro. Now with upgrading all Apple products we wanted the latest v6 Wi-Fi for the best performance as we depend a lot on Wi-Fi, so the the U6 has been great.

I went from a 4 year old netgear wireless router in my closet in the corner of my house to a Unify 6 LR and a Unify 6 Pro mounted on my ceiling and meshed together. I had better coverage with my linksys. I have 2 bars 10 feet away from either AP. Some devices just straight up wont connect.

I have been searching for a while for a replacement for my Apple wifi router. They were fantastic product which just work and theses seem to be the same. I cannot be happier. I have them wired to a Dream Machine Pro and though I am a home user these are wonderful. I have 2 to span my ranch home and no more issues. I basically just plugged all it (with some config on their app) and they work really well. I have not tried to use their support as I did not really need them…

This access point works great and is a major upgrade from the previous model providing longer distance and more stable connections.

Get this access point, NOT the long range! This AP uses a Qualcomm chip. The LR uses mediatek. Qualcomm is the best chipset for WiFi! I was using 2 high end Asus routers, but my WiFi was still having issues. But ever since I got this unifi AP, my WiFi has been ROCK SOLID!

This is an odd review to write -- it should be two - -a 3 and a 5. If this were the *old* Ubiquiti, it would be a 5, but companys approach of late takes it down. The problem: Unifi is great, and for some situations, *the* solution. But, in the old days, it was at prosumer pricing. It was no-brainer. Today, its near enterprise pricing,. and to be honest, there are better enterprise offers from real enterprise players. Dont get me wrong -- the product works as expected and works well, but at the price, you can go to players like Arista and Rukkus. Also, if you know why you need Unifi, say youre building out an office with 30 of these, again, a no-brainer, but at the new price, you have choices, and its no longer home-budget friendly. Add to that the poor software support for the controller and its hard to vote a 5

Ordered 2 of these, for 2 of our locations. Worked as needed, would order again
