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

I love Unifi gear, but the older Pros came with PoE injector. these ones did not. caused delays.

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 it was easy to adopt and configure using UDM Pro. but the signal is weak and it was from the August 2022 batch that had the advisory problem of sparks due to shielded ethernet cables and earthing so it had to be returned.

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 switched to Ubiquiti because my brothers use their products and now I know why. Great products with excellent quality, capabilities and performance

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.

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.

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

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

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