Ubiquiti UniFi Wi-Fi 6 Pro Access Point - U6-PRO

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.

This ap has great build quality with plastic and metal construction, adopted quickly with my unifi network controller and works flawlessly with my other unifi wifi 5 aps, you can still roam between wifi 6 aps and wifi 5 aps with no hesitation. The software interface allows for deep control of the ap. Overall im very happy with my purchase and will purchase more from Ubiquiti in the near future as a part of my big home network upgrade.

Pretty fly for a Wifi. IYKYK.Great addition for my home Wifi.Connected easily to my generic fibre broadband supplier router with the Unifi App.Great mounting options and very, very good speed.Highly recommend and looking at getting another for the rear of the house.

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.

Amazing WiFi from a great brand.

A super fast Wi-Fi router with good range.Combined with the Unifi interface (which I have as I use the fantastic value Unifi Security Gateway for security at home) it provides incredible features and the ability for crazy levels of configuration, all through a nice interface. Well into the realm of far more expensive solutions. You can tell this system would scale with ease to larger or multi-site installs. I have to say Ubiquiti products have been 10/10 for me so far, and this wont be the last device of theirs I buy.

Great AP, but non-IT types beware

Here there be dragons! This is a professional level device, and needs at least a reasonable level of IT expertise to get the most of it. Also it absolutely needs either a Dream machine/router to be the heart of the system, or you need to be fully comfortable building a Linux server to host the Unifi host software. I personally already had an Ubuntu server I used as a custom firewall, so I deployed the software there to run the system. I see all these questions about PoE injectors... that means you're doing it wrong. All Unifi main switches (8 port and up) provide PoE for multiple APs and mini switches. One of these systems need planning, I strongly suggest using the Unifi design center first to plan out your coverage and wiring routes. I was fortunate enough to have ... MoreHere there be dragons!

I was fortunate enough to have Cat 5e drops in nearly every room leading back to my closet, so my clothes closet doubles as a wiring closet. About the AP itself, it has better reach and features than any consumer grade device, which is what I wanted it for. I have 2 of these and 2 of the 6 Minis deployed around my sprawling 1 story house, and every device has near perfect Wi-Fi now, as does my front and back yards. Not a cheap investment when you include the 16 port Unifi switch at the heart of it, but yay for PoE on every device, multiple VLANs, channel/bandwidth tuning, locking devices to specific APs, etc.

Great WiFi 6 AP

Another great AP from Ubiquiti. Replaced a U6 Lite with this one to get better range and somewhat higher speeds. Keep in mind speed will be limited by the client's hardware (a lot of products with WiFi 6 only have 2x2). Mounting hardware was also a pleasant surprise. It came with mounts for pretty much any scenario, including a plate for mounting on the existing electrical box I had for the cat 6 port.

Great product nearly ruined by terrible software

The box and look of this access point are impressive. That's when the fun stops.There is no documentation, minus a small card with a QR code (who likes these things?) that says scan here to get started. So I take out my phone and scan it, just to be brought to a guide for how to mount the AP to the wall. Well, most people are going to make sure it works first, before pounding holes in the wall, and most people are also going to wonder how to get it to work...which is the hard part.You will need PoE (which it does state this when ordering), then after plugging it in you need to download the Unifi app on your computer. It would be nice if there was a quick start card in the box that says this, but no. By the way, going the Ubiquiti website is a jumbled mess, it's ... MoreThe box and look of this access point are impressive.

By the way, going the Ubiquiti website is a jumbled mess, it's not clear what app you need to download and install.After you finally get the app, you're then greeted by a whoops! You need Java 11! Isn't Java a major security risk and hardly ever used anymore? Doesn't matter, if you want to use this AP, you need it. The website they direct you to for the Java 11 download is also confusing difficult to use.Finally, after you install Java and the Ubiquiti app, you THEN need to create an online username and password. You can then finally login to the AP and use it BUT if you want to see that stats, you need to have the app open.There is no logging in under a local network address, forget about it.I'm completely disgusted with Ubiquiti and I will never buy any of their products again.

Not Your Grandfather's Ubiquiti

The access point is fine, solid design and all the parts required to mount it to any type of fixture. It performs as expected, except for using the Ubiquiti controller. This was a hair pulling awful experience that took two hours to get the AP to be adopted by a fresh install of the controller. It doesn't matter how great the AP is if you can't get it configured. This one took far longer than it should have taken.

Rock Solid Access Points

We have bene using Unifi by Ubiquiti for a long time. We install these regularly and have gone from standard Pros to these. Great stability and easy to centrally manage. So far another good Unifi prouduct!
