That plate for mounting on a ceiling tile is called a "doubler plate" and is used to reinforce the tile, so that the screws don't pull out. If you lose, or never had, that tool, you can use a cable tie.
No, they have an app (android/ios) you can use, and/or windows desktop controller app, a linux server controller app. all are freeware. This app is all you need to set it up from/with. You can create an offline admin user (which is what I always do) so you do NOT have to create a Ubiquiti/UniFi account for this. It updates firmware through the controller app.
Thank you for your video. Just bought this very unit, was wondering what to do about re-using / re-naming a current wifi-5 AP and the end of your video helped explain what to do so I can re-use the old one without causing confusion. Thanks for all the info on installing the new AP.
I'm looking to upgrade my old AC-LR and AC-Pro to the U6-Pro AP's. My Cisco switch has POE but the older AC-LR requires the specific Ubiquiti POE injector, which I have, of course. My newer AC-Pro will operate with the POE from my Cisco. I'm hoping my switch will power the U6-Pro like it does my AC-Pro and that I won't need to purchase an additional POE injector.
Is there enough room on the back of jack to plug in a field term plug or must one use a 8P8C or patch cable? Specs online do not show either termination.
I watched your view to see if your AP was a bit loose after mounting-like mine- and it looks like it is. I wish it was more flush with the ceiling but I guess that’s how it’s designed.
Do you need a UniFi OS console like Cloud Key Gen2 Plus in order to use the AP? Could I just buy the AccessPoint and connect it to a switch without something like the Cloud Key Gen2 Plus?
No, you can use the UniFi App and manage it via a GUI from your phone or computing device (desktop/laptop). You are required to create a user/account first. Yes, you can plug it directly into a switch/router assuming its POE and the correct wattage, if not, you'll need a POE injector (buy the injector to be safe).
Can we do a speed test from various distances. I just bought the U6 enterprise version today. I should get it in a couple of days. I’m very excited and hoping I could use 1 access point as opposed to 3 to cover my home.
Can buy online the access points, would they be compatible with other router, which comes standard by the internet provider (price for the hardware is included in the monthly fees).
The POE injector uses one pair in the Ethernet cable to provide power to the AP. They will not work without one unless you have a POE switch/router that can support the needed power. Most "home" switches cannot handle it so it's best to just but a POE and be safe.
Really depends on the site. My walls hate WiFi, so my setup is around 30-50' apart, but in a more open setting or drywall, definitely would be able to get by with a much larger distance.
Hi , when I made a second wifi and after that i made second network and i conect that that network with second guest wifi in my phone writtes could not get ip adress where can be problem ?
10 Minutes of time wasted showing people how to replace the device. I would rather have seen the software configuration for first time installation. Guess I will keep searching

Amazing job! Didn’t drag things out but got to the point and explained very clearly and very practically. Very grateful for this video.

I put 3 of these in one of our locations at work. They really cover a lot of space.
Does the "Ubiquiti U6 Pro Access Point" require any additional hardware from Ubiquiti? Like their switches or routers?
No, they have an app (android/ios) you can use, and/or windows desktop controller app, a linux server controller app. all are freeware. This app is all you need to set it up from/with. You can create an offline admin user (which is what I always do) so you do NOT have to create a Ubiquiti/UniFi account for this. It updates firmware through the controller app.
YES, they require a POE injector if your switch isn't POE or cannot support the needed power (make sure you check, many cannot).

5:31 "That's the reset butt-hole right there." ??? LOL Great video walk-through -- most appreciated.
HI, Can these be mounted on drop ceiling tiles?

UDM PRO SE only comes with 2 PoE+ ports (that are needed for the access points) if you need more Access points you will need to buy injectors.
Very helpful; I'm too lazy to read the manual. Thanks!

I will see what I can do
@@GeekSmart what did you figure out
Can buy online the access points, would they be compatible with other router, which comes standard by the internet provider (price for the hardware is
included in the monthly fees).
What is the injector device and what is POE series and how so they connect?
The POE injector uses one pair in the Ethernet cable to provide power to the AP. They will not work without one unless you have a POE switch/router that can support the needed power. Most "home" switches cannot handle it so it's best to just but a POE and be safe.
If I were installing more than one of these devices, how far apart should they be installed?
Really depends on the site. My walls hate WiFi, so my setup is around 30-50' apart, but in a more open setting or drywall, definitely would be able to get by with a much larger distance.

Come to Europe......I have reinforced concrete walls. So I can not even get Wifi to my 2nd floor. Ps love your video. Helped me out.
u didint show the setup from the main modem? How did u go into the configs? Wirelessly or U had a wired connnection to the computer?
Friend, can you help me, is there a POE injector for this U6 PRO model, or do you need to use dream machines or any other switch poe would work?
You can purchase a PoE injector or use a PoE Switch or the new Dream Machine SE

Im browsing IF i can combine U6 and UAP-AC-Pro then i saw your face. " Oh President Putin tutorial for Ubiquity" 😅
What size drill bits?
you look like Vladimir Putin.
He would have nuked that AP after failing a few times to mount it!
thanks

Don’t buy this … has only 1gbit upload. Go for the Enterpise edition
As long as you have an Enterprise switch to handle the 2.5Gbps, then I would concur.
@@GeekSmart or any other cheap multigigabit switch … Today my Asus AX11000 is faster in Wifi-throughput then the UI-AP …
@@IAmZen_007 has nothing to do with throughput, 2.5GbE is an entirely different interface standard for high speed PoE applications.
@@tactical-bucket High Speed POE applications… wt* is that? What has POE to do with applications? Please explain.
@@IAmZen_007 the AC6-Enterprise would be a high speed poe application that requires a 2.5GbE switched interface.
