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

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!

Pros // Cheap, reliable, functional. Its Unfi so basic but best near enterprise as you can get. \ Cons: // Still years later beta features have to be disabled to get a true stable connection. Roaming still weak compared to true controller based ap. 80/160 5g channels still buggy as always. \ Overall. Its a Unfi ap cheap reliable and can be left alone for years. Just dont expect huge performance but it will do small office or house hold jobs perfectly fine. Keep the channel width down and keep power below 80% and it will be rock solid.

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.

The range of this AP is very poor compared to the OpenMesh A60 that it is replacing in my home. The A60 could cover all rooms of our 2 story wood frame 2000 sq ft home with no issues. I configured the Ubiquiti the same way and it can’t reach one side of the house. I’ll need to find a better replacement.

Weve got 3 buildings with Ubiquiti Unifi WiFi devices and have generally always been pleased. Our installations are mostly comprised of AC-Lite and NanoHD UAPs. In our smallest property weve really only got justification for a single UAP that sits about in the middle of a square building. Weve experienced some signal fade in the far corners using AC-Lite or NanoHD so I decided to give this one a try. The Unifi 6 Pro required an update to our Unifi controller; no big deal. Once updated, the adoption process went smoothly as usual. The range improvement is substantial. Weve improved signal to every device in the building, but also have increased effective range to cover the parking lot, break area and even across the street. Im very happy with this UAP and would certainly get another.

Great speeds, much better than the UAP-AC-PRO. worked right away for unifi software for provisioning and software update.

I am a fan of Ubiquiti and use a lot of their products. I think they work great and are easily configured with the unifi ap. Great for beginners to learn about advanced networking, easy for advanced users to learn/adapt from previous vendors.

I purchased 2 of these directly from the manufacturer (it was cheaper there, too). The install into my ceiling was simple, but the drywall mounts these come with are crappy, I swapped them out with others I had from Home Depot. I dont have an existing Ubiquiti ecosystem to link these up with; Im only using them as standalone wifi access points with my Asus router. I was a bit frustrated when I first tested the speeds on these because I was only getting 80mbps on 5ghz band. Turns out my existing setup only provided PoE and not the PoE+ these need. So, I had to buy some additional hardware to give the access points the power they required and the speeds jumped way up.

Ubiquiti makes good products but the radio on these are really weak. I have 3 across a 3 level 1500 sq-ft townhouse and theres a terrible dead spot at the back corner of the building where I get like 5% throughput. If you have a good single the throughput is very good

I have installed 30 of these so far. I love the mounting kit that comes with it- easy to attached to ceiling grids, quick release metal base ring for service. The user interface is nice, installed the Linux-based package in a virtual machine on one of our Linux servers (and the APs continue to run/work even if that goes down, which is great). The signal is strong. It can handle lots of clients at the same time. Well designed and packaged. Good value for what seems to be one of the best in category for covering large areas with WiFi. We set up 4 SSIDs in no time, one of them being public/guest with network isolation AND throttling (very nice). Can even restrict which SSIDs are on which access points and ban or throttle certain clients. Lots of centralized control and data collection/insights. So far, very happy.
