Ubiquiti UniFi U6-Pro Dual-Band AX5300 Semi-Outdoor Wi-Fi 6 Access Point, 1 x Gigabit LAN, 48V Passive PoE / 802.3at - 13W (PoE Adapter NOT Included)

I replaced the 2nd generation AP-AC-Pro with this 6th generation AP.
This also use a Qualcomm chip IPQ5018/AP-MP03.1-C2, two ARMv7 Processor rev 4 (v7l) CPU, 1GB RAM and 4GB storage.
The single U6-Pro installed in the garage and covers the whole house using a "medium" signal strength and about 20 WiFi devices.

I was torn between the U6-Pro and the Aruba AP22.
The AP22 has better 2.4 GHz performance, and arguably a more robust, stable firmware.
But I am not keen on the Aruba cloud managed only AP software idea.

So far, everything just worked on the U6-Pro, it runs cool and works reliably so far for weeks. I replaced the 2nd generation AP-AC-Pro with this 6th generation AP.

I'm getting much faster speeds in speed tests than with my AC Lite, and while it is arguably better to cover an area with two weaker APs than a stronger one, this does seem to do the job everywhere in my 2 storey house and even outside in the 5 GHz band when mounted in the roof cavity.

My only gripe is that the LAN port is 1 Gbps instead of the 2.5 Gbps that would have made more sense given the potential max throughout.

This access point has greatly improved the Wi-Fi coverage in our home, and is incredibly fast. Setup was simple through the app. Highly recommend these for anyone wanting amazing Wi-Fi.

We've been using this for a month now in our small house and have noticed a ~200Mbps (significant) bump in performance over our previous model (UAP-nanoHD).

pros:
- provides great coverage
- provides great throughput

cons:
- does not include a PoE injector (but most don't these days) We've been using this for a month now in our small house and have noticed a ~200Mbps (significant) bump in performance over our previous model (UAP-nanoHD).

Added 2 U6-Pros to supplement my existing AC-LRs. Huge improvement on a 500/500 connection see 400+ download on my Wifi6 compatible devices and in a mesh with my AC APs no single AP is getting overloaded. Interested to see their performance after being ceiling mounted and with hyper fibre installed. Added 2 U6-Pros to supplement my existing AC-LRs.

The max speed I saw over wifi when using this was 850 mbps down and 450 mbps up. We pay for 950/500. Very easy to configure and set up especially when using an existing unifi set-up.

In place for a few weeks now and it just works with my other Ubiquiti gear as you would expect, but it does need PoE+ so my current Ubiquiti PoE switch cannot provide enough power to run at full power mode like the other access points that I have. Fortunately it can run in low power mode until I get an injector for it. Wi-fi speeds in the kids rooms increased 10x with this in place even in low power mode.

I'm a Ubiquiti fan. Easy to setup and good performance I'm a Ubiquiti fan. Easy to setup and good performance

Great access point, probably overkill for home usage but has excellent range and can even max out your gigabit connection with the right device! Great access point, probably overkill for home usage but has excellent range and can even max out your gigabit connection with the right device!

Paired with a Unifi Network controller, this AP is super easy to set up and configure how you like. It has provided me with great coverage, and effortless roaming of devices on a multi-AP network. Comes with easy to use mounting hardware too. Paired with a Unifi Network controller, this AP is super easy to set up and configure how you like.

I was having issues with some devices connecting to an older unifi AP, and wanted to move to WiFi 6 anyway. This upgrade was excellent. Huge range, great speeds, and all of my devices work properly with it now. I was having issues with some devices connecting to an older unifi AP, and wanted to move to WiFi 6 anyway.

Got this to extend further my coverage - as with all unifi products it just works.
Price only marginally more than the older UAC AP's but it does come without a poe injector. Got this to extend further my coverage - as with all unifi products it just works.
