Powerful Wi-Fi 6 Access Point with 4x4 MU-MIMO featuring a small, sleek design and mounting flexibility for use indoors or outdoors. Note: this model had a revision while in the EA store, upgrading to a Qualcomm chipset featuring a 4x4 4800 Mbps 5 GHz radio. If you’re interested in the performance of the WiFi 6 Lite and U6-LR, see my U6-Lite and U6-LR review and speed comparison. The hypothetical U6-HD/U6-Enterprise and other future models should feature support those higher-end features. Ubiquiti calls them “5th Generation” and the U6-Pro is the first “6th Generation” AP. You can think of U6-Lite and U6-LR as the first wave of Wi-Fi 6 APs. I’m hoping the inevitable U6-HD or U6-Enterprise support 2.5 Gbps Ethernet, since the new USW-Enterprise-24-PoE features 2.5 Gbps ports, and Ubiquiti doesn’t sell any APs which support that speed. The same goes for their 1 Gbps Ethernet ports - none of these models support 2.5 Gbps Ethernet. None of the other models feature upgraded 2.4 GHz radios. It’s worth noting that only the U6-Pro and U6-Mesh feature 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 6 support. They’ve since removed U6-In-Wall and U6-Extender models from the Early Access store, but they may pop back up again soon. Ubiquiti previously announced Wi-Fi 6 replacements for the In-Wall HD, BeaconHD, and AC-Mesh in their early access store, but those have not been released yet.
The U6-Pro is my top recommendation, if you can find it in stock. The U6-Pro has the highest performance and a Qualcomm chipset, outclassing the Mediatek in the U6-Lite and U6-LR. The U6-Pro was added in November 2021, for $149. Both models have limited availability, and have frequently been listed above MSRP. The U6-LR is a replacement for the AC-LR and AC-Pro, and it’s available for $179. The U6-Lite is a replacement for the AC-Lite, and it’s available for $99. Ubiquiti’s first Wi-Fi 6 UniFi access points are the U6-Lite and the U6-LR.
