Just ordered two of them right now. Thank you for your awesome videos, appreciated a lot. Greetings from Germany!
WiFi 6 differences over 5 are mainly about being better at managing concurrent traffic per ax radio. WiFi 6E is where you will see real speed gains, since you can use larger bonded non over lapping channel widths. If you have good WiFi 5 deployment not, no reason to upgrade to 6 until 6E devices. 6E is the real game changer.
On the 80 Mhz band, I was able to get transfer speeds of 900 / 770Mb/s (depending on the direction) between my iPad Pro and PC which is on ethernet. I used the VLC iOS app which has a LAN “Sharing over Wifi” feature. I repeated the test with different movie files and the results were consistent.
Setting the channel to 48 indeed did the trick. Leaving it to the default setting, I was pulling down only less than 400 Mbps in my Macbook Air M1. With the change I got over 620 Mbps. Thanks for the tips.
Great vid!..For the followup you should do all 3, the lite, LR & Pro
I have U6 LR and lite, both very effective.
Lended my u6 lite to a friend in ap stand alone to see if that helps him.
Waiting on U6 flex HD next.
Hopefully things come in stock soon trying to order a few things.
1. U6 flex HD
2. 4x G4 instants
3. Ubiquiti Rack x2. ( need 12U but two 6U's are fine.
4. Ups, Smart rps a ups?
I can't understand the radiation pattern diagrams of the flex hd, is this fine to use against a wall or flex hd would be better?
Id be interested to know if the plastic mount is the same as the previous AC Pro. I don't want to reinstall a new mount into my ceiling if possible.
I love the Unifi AP's. I have a couple U6-LR's and debated getting the Pro. About ready to make a paperweight out of my UDM Pro due to promises unfulfilled. Good video.
UDM was a bad joke all along.
@@0bsmith0why?
Can it be connected to my existing PF sense custom router on a server and works only as wifi access point.
I love you videos like always
Do these need lot of tuning ?
I have been using AirPort Extreme for years, I thought of switching to unifi.
I purchased nano HD.
Speed was awful compared to AirPort Extreme I was right next to the access point. I tried playing with some settings, it improved little bit.
My setup: Cloud Key Gen 2+, unifi 24 port POE Switch, Ubiquiti POE 5 port router.
@Mactelecom Networks, I see you have all devices except your gateway on a management VLAN, I have a Switch Pro Aggregation as well but can’t seem to get it to be on a different management vlan to my UDM pro. Any ideas? Additionally, the management vlan router is set to the aggregation switch could that be an issue? Not to mention I had to create port profiles in order to have my APs get IP addresses from the management vlan instead of changing it under the Management section which will stop me getting internet if I did change it.
Does it have to be on ceiling or you can just put it flat on a table
Did anybody encounter this issue in UDM Pro: geoip filtering is not available because hardware offload is disabled. Thank you in advance.
Looks pretty similar to the speeds to my older SHD AP.
Hi Cody, do you know if can be powered with 48V passive?
can we install this even without Unify switch?
Would love to see a speed comparison between the Pro and LR, from the same locations on each floor in your house.
Check out this video here ruclips.net/video/jb5bSTzURJQ/видео.html
Still trying to figure out the different use cases between U6-pro and LR too. The radios are confusing, since the Pro has higher gain than even the LR. supposedly the pro is wifi6 on the 2.4 radio, while the LR is only wifi 5 on the 2.4, but then the LR is 4x4 on 2.4 radio, so.... confusing product line up. Just release the WiFi 6E APs already!
Cheers Cody, great vid as always.. cant wait for ubiq to release an AP with a multi gig ethernet port.. got some test kit from aruba recently... AP and Switch both having 5gbit ports on them.. mind blowingly quick but very expensive..
I have a few APs that are 2.5gb and they work well. Hopefully Ubiquiti releases some soon
@@MactelecomNetworks At the very least it would have been nice to see dual Gbe ports like the HD Pro that could be aggregated.
@@GRoutenburg oh the pros the extra port was just a pass through you couldn’t aggregate
I think my network is a little overkill, Running a USG 3P, Switch 8 60W , 2 AP AC Lites and an AP IW-HD. Really thinking I could get away with a single U6 Lite or U6 Pro. (3400sq ft 3 lvl home)
Id like to see the comparison for the U6 Lite vs Pro and if you have an AC Lite that would make for some interesting data throughput comparisons.
Would absolutely like to see a comparison between the Pro and LR!
Definitely interested in the U6-Pro vs LR video! Have to see if it’s worth the extra bit of money for RGB led or not lol
@Fallon Cohen U6 lites amazing absolutely love it.
Had no issues covering 1800 Sqft
@Fallon Cohen great for home use, but in higher density env, i suspect it starts to fall over.
@@xVertigo101 Distance is not going to be the issue, it is the 2x2 5Ghz radio is where it's going to run into issues in high density env.
@Fallon Cohen the ax lite I wasn't impressed with so I went back to to my SHD. It's been months so maybe I'll update the firmware and try again and make a video on it. The SHD was the highest end Wi-Fi 5 AP from Ubiquiti and I scored it on eBay for well under MSRP and has been a great AP for several years now. Plus it has a built in spectrum analyzer 🤓😎
@@xVertigo101 what speeds are you getting?
Does the mounting plate similar to nanohd?
Great vid. Would love to see a benchmark comparison of the 6 lite, 6 Pro and 6 LR. The Pro looks theoretically better, but with 1gb nice I would be curious as my 6 LR kicks butt and can saturate the 1gb NIC.
I’ll probably add the U6 lite in. Unfortunately I don’t have a ton of clients to connect to them but I’ll do the same test for each ap
Should i get the u6 LR or PRO ?
How do you connect to non unified network
I would really like to see the comparison between the LR and Pro. I currently have the LRs for a new home but would like to see if I need to return and trade out for these. Thanks!
Interested in an LR and Pro comparison
👋🏻 Nice video, and thanks!
Great job on the AP breakdown ( I assume that was you anyways ) :)
How would u compare it to omada eap660hd
I would like to see the Pro vs LR, mainly if there is a range difference and a speed test between both to see if the LR is still worth it or the PRO will be a better buy. Btw does it have 6ghz?
It does not have 6ghz that is WIFI 6E
Not directed at the Mactelecom, but how do you get 5.3 Gbps through a 1 Gbps ethernet uplink?
It's aggregate throughput, meaning max performance theoretically if all connections running at their theoretical max speed (sum of all parts)
@@danielanderson9052 This is what the website says. There is no reference to the ethernet connection.
Features:
Dual-band WiFi 6 (802.11ax)
5 GHz (4x4 MU-MIMO) band with a 4.8 Gbps throughput rate
2.4 GHz (2x2 MIMO) band with a 573.5 Mbps throughput rate
Operates at full 4x4 MIMO with 160 MHz bandwidth
300+ concurrent client capacity
Guest Traffic Isolation, which enhances wireless network security and lowers traffic congestion
Included universal mounting plate, backing plate, and screw kit
@@rayk32 You have to d/l the datasheet pdf document which states "Networking Interface (1) 1 Gbps Ethernet RJ45"
@@danielanderson9052 4.8 + .5735 = 5.3 and does not include the 1Gbps of the Ethernet interface as part of the aggregate throughput. They are only talking about the wireless radios. I'm willing to listen to your explanation but how do you pass 5.3Gbps through a 1Gbps uplink at the same rate of throughput to the wired network? The math does not add up. Even if the Ethernet is included, the wired throughput is a bottleneck and will only pass 1Gbps despite the throughput of the radios. The Ethernet needs to be at least 5 or better yet 10 Gbps to take advantage of the throughput of the radios at full capacity.
If I have a 10Gbps wired interface passing traffic through a 1Gbps wired interface the 1Gbps interface is the bottleneck.
It's also weird that I can't find mention of OFDMA in the documentation or specs for this access point. It is mentioned for their other WiFi6 access points.
@@rayk32 it’s basically a switch you could direct transfer files from one WiFi device to another WiFi device without having it pass through the 1Gb wired interface.
Thanks for the video, please add signal strength to your comparison. One would think the signal strength would increase in each different offering.
I do really like these and have ordered two for my home. The only thing I don't understand or like is why this model is still only using a 1GB ethernet port. I find this odd because of the USW Enterprise switches using 2.5GB and 10GB PoE ports. It almost feels pointless having these switches rn. I was really hoping the U6 Pro would have been the first WiFi6 AP with a 2.5GB port.
agree, tp link that costs an extra $100 has a 2.5gbps port on it.
if your internet speed is not over 1GB then no point in having a 2.5GB port no?
@@bobulatorul Multiple clients on the same access point all share that same 1GB port and can saturate the connection.
I've wondered the same thing. With WiFi 6 having a theoretical 4.8Gbps it seems like the 1 Gbps wired port to the network would create a bottleneck. I have 2Gbps internet so I'm trying upgrade my network to take full advantage.
@@SethEFarrington To be fair the 4.8gbps is both ways together which is 2.4Gb either way. Gigabit ethernet is giga bit both ways at the same time so assuming your not in a lab and you wont hit the 2.4Gbps receiving anyway because you're limited by the recieving device, it's probably reasonable that it would max out at gigabit (or bottlenecked only slightly)
The main problem with this is not the missing RGB, it's the 1gbit port. This is the Pro AP, it would have been proper for them to finally have a wifi 6 AP with a 2.5gbit port.
That is also true
Would you recommend this or the u6 mesh
Another vote for Pro vs LR comparison
How you did IPerf testing?
Great vid! You think the pro will beat the LR as the new best home WiFi 6 AP? I recently bought an LR, but would consider changing it if the Pro beats it by much!
I think the LR will win but will find out when I do my video
no, LR won't win this
Would definitely be interested in a video of Pro vs LR, as that chart says Pro is wifi 6 on the 2.4 band, and LR is wifi 4, however LR is 4x4 and PRO is 2x2, it's all kinda confusing to me;
I was planning on getting one or two LR's for my house, but if the PRO's are better i'll get one/two instead.
I'm confused at that as well.
Get Zyxel = faster
Problem with UniFi APs are, that there aren't any with 2.5gbit ethernet port. So you have UniFi AP with wifi6 which can handle 3gbit/s, but only on wifi side. That's a bummer. And I can achieve 615mbps with UniFi AP-AC Lite (also with 1gbit ethernet), so no reason to buy their wifi6 devices until they have at least 2.5gbit ethernet port. I don't understand this. I have their 24port enterprise switch with 12 2.5gbit PoE ports and waiting for some UniFi device which could leverage this speed...
Yup that’s definitely the issue. I would assume they will be making APs with 2.5gb in the future
@@MactelecomNetworks Hopefully WiFi6E APs will be the point when 2.5GBE interface gets added.
He’s not even close to reaching 1Gbit for whatever reason though. Just 600-700. I know it’s just one client but still the iPhone 11 has an WiFi 6 interface it should be able to do more than that even utilizing 2x2
Lucky you, looks like ubiquiti love you
I do :)
2 U6 pro on way from EU store to me.
Why is this AP still so slow. I’m getting 950mb download with Openspeed on my Ipad? I use Asus AX11000 router
Yep, All the UI Access points are giving AC speeds. Even my cheap Fritz 1200 AX is hitting 750-900mbit. I love to but UI buy they are "slow"
Can you do another test using 160hz channel width?
First here, finally video about 6 Pro.
Please compare U6 LR and U6 Pro please 😀
That AP will be work w ith UDR on mesh mode?
Yup should be able to do meshing with this ap
It does have RGB. I bought it about 4 months ago when it was under EA. The only thing that I'm bummed about is that it is still using 1Gbps interface. Those figures about that it has 5.3 Gbps of Throughput is just pointless.
The EA one has RGB the general release doesn’t
Will this work with the Dream Router?
It should ya
I would buy unifi nano 6e.
My U6 Pro is located on the ceiling in the garage of my ground floor. Great signal on the ground floor. But I notice on my first floor I’m having terrible signal. Even right ‘above’ the garage. With my previous ASUS router I had great reception on all floors. I have no cables running there so can’t place it there. Really strikes me that such an expensive Pro grade AP only ‘beams’ its signal in one direction. Tried all different settings possible.
You should have researched the radiation pattern before buying. It's provided by Ubiquiti. Put it on the 1st floor and your garage will be covered. Have a cable run by a professional or return the Unifi and put in a home router again.
What about Wi-Fi 6E?
Ubiquiti does not have WIFI 6E APs yet
Actually that's reversed the U6LR is 4x4 on 2 GHz and the pro Wi-Fi 6 is only 2x2
I would make a chart cost per Mb over Wifi in comparison to performance. ie. AP gets 100 Mbps cost $100= $10 per Mb. AP 2 cost.... gets... Mbps = $... per Mb
So is this the best Wi-Fi 6 AP ? From ubiquity
@Fallon Cohen interesting in what way I see now that it is more expensive I thought in the past the LR wasn't the flagship the pro was ?
I just don’t see the point in ubiquiti launching anything new at this point. When they can’t keep a quarter of what they have in stock or launch most of the early access stuff. We live their gear, but at some point stuff actually needs to be available.
Supply chain/ chip issues hurting all companies right now unfortunately. Companies still need to keep innovating and making better products
@@MactelecomNetworks I agree with you, innovation is key and should always continue. This however hasn’t just been a recent supply chain/silicon issue. This has been an issue for at least the last few years with them. It got really bad during the middle of covid, and has eased some now but still exists. That’s just opinion based on what we have tried to purchase over the years and always having to find it at a higher price or wait. If you’re wanting to earn the enterprise space the gear needs to be readily accessible, imo. Grabbing ruckus, juniper, or Cisco gear is still pretty easy at the same time. I’m not sure if they grew too big too fast and are working it out or don’t have the manufacturer deals in place that others do and are suffering for it.
Price vs features and no licensing is fantastic but if I can’t buy a DM pro or an access point or you limit me to buy 2 or 4 at a time direct without trying to find it from a reseller at a higher price it seems (again imo) that they should step a bit back and work out the supply issue while launching (a little less) products. Once consistent in supply chain launch launch launch 🚀
I just ordered a U6-Pro today. Their stuff does keep coming in. If you know the time to look, they will have parts in, for at least a short time before sold out once again. Demand is higher than they can keep what parts in stock they can with the chip shortages. I do keep seeing them pop up over and over again. I couldn’t get one of their $8 injectors which I also wanted as they were sold out. But B&H has them them stock. Same $8 price and free shipping. A steal over the ones for sale on Amazon. It’s not ideal that you can’t just go and buy what you want when you want. It’s the current world we live in.
I am surprised you have not put those measurements in context. Without a comparison with at least one more AP using the same environment, those numbers are useless. Cool short video though
I just released a video with this against the U6 LR
I'm a little disappointed, my U6 pros suck. I got better performance on the AC pro version. You're seeing 600 down and 51up. I'm seeing 25 on HT160. I'll try dropping to HT80 see if anything changes
You are asking a lot on HT160... Will need line of sight and less interference. 80/40 will be a good bet
@@saihoum4671 I agree... i did drop it to HT80 just haven't done a speed test. Will do so later today
if i recall i got over 940 MB on ht160 this was on phone and laptop (i upgrade wifi to intel latest and greatest on the laptop ) saying this i didn't do any major distances test the ap was set at ht180 my was Ea Ap the testing done on internet and to local test server i will try to do iperf testing
Should be mGig capable
Agreed
What? It doesn't have RGB? What will all of the Gamers do without RGB? This is a tragedy
Lol I mean ya it’s not the end of the world by any means. Was just cool to have the option
It does have B, just no RG
Mine has the RGB setting but I’m missing the mesh setting.
too little, too late... wait for the 6E, and maybe they'll include 2.5gbps connection.
I thought Wi-Fi 6 had 2.5 GB interfaces ?
@Fallon Cohen yes yes what I meant was I thought the Wi-Fi 6 APS had 2.5 gig ports on them because of their throughput one of their AP has it I thought
@@Reedith
Nope, that all only have 1Ghz ports. Seems strange they didn’t go with 2.5GB or 10GB. Personally I think they should have went with a 10GB port. Just because I think it’s more universal that 2.5GB and even 2.5GB doesn’t seem fast enough anyway.
@@Reedith Wifi 6 is not hitting 1 gbe in real world so no need for 2,5. gig. For 6E it can hit speeds above 1 gig but Wifi 6 standard no way
