I have been happy with my U6LR, it is the only access point currently operating in my roughly 3000sqft single story house with 96% wifi experience with 50 devices.
I thought the same way since , wifi is mix bunch of speeds depend on barriers and if some one wants better coverage with so many barriers, I would say LR is the device you need. On Paper Pro got better specs but testing more need to be done on distance level as well and appreciate all the data on this video.
@@JacksonCampbell , YES, LR got huge distance advantage over the Pro.. Pro can handle so many subs with slightly better 5Ghz coverage, but for long distance coverage use the LR. Pls use 20Mhz channel on 2 Ghz and 40 mhz on 5 Ghz. also leave auto settings on Unifi so that Unifi can adjust channels if any interference. I have seen unifi doing great work on co channel interference.
@@trinco99 Good to know. I may consider the LR for deployments primarily concerned with range. The chipset can have issues with multiple clients, so I usually go with the U6 Pro, but that range won't cover a wide area. I'm a network technician, so I manually separate the channels for optimal roaming when I've got lots of APs at one site that aren't going to have changing channels and interference around them. For small deployments I just do auto. Of course 20MHz channel width on 2.4GHz. I do 40 or 80MHz on 5GHz depending on the environment.
The choose is simple: -If you need 2.4Ghz only/morelike devices then go for LR 4x4 mimo on 2.4ghz=180usd. -If you need 5Ghz only/morelike devices then go for PRO 4x4 mimo on 5ghz=150usd. Also U6 LR is MediocreTek and U6 PRO is Qualcom. My current setup is AC LR with Qualcom and it's wonderful.
Thank you for the comprehensive review. The db information really helped allow me to give a comparison to my own setup. I have a single UnifiHD Nano and it's struggling on the fringes of the house because I couldn't get it wired up centrally, so hoping to mesh and backhaul with the U6 pro addition.
One thing I noticed and why i chose to go with the LR over the pro is because of the 4.4 on 2.4GHz. i had a couple of old APs and one was 2x2 and the other was 4x4 on 2.4 and I noticed a much higher retry rate and sometimes disconnections in my home of IoT stuff which I have exclusively on 2.4. going with 4x4 on 2.4 just just for that was well worth it for me over what would likely be (and seems to be) a slight speed increase on 5ghz going with the pro. of course ymmv, but for my use case it works well. i have anything I care about performance on a SSID which is only operating on 5ghz. and then all my IoT stuff and things I don't care about performance on is on another SSID locked to 2.4GHz.
I had a lot of issue's with using google home as multi room music system. Lot's of disconnections and after placing 2 U6-LR's on top of my other ap's I now have 7 aps, which seems as an overkill, but no more dead wifi places in the house. (still have lots of issues with google home, but thats google home). Actually the U6-LR's have such strong radio's that I have an internet signal like 200- 300 meters of my home. Anyway, I have lot's aprox 90 IoT's in the house, smart plugs, lights, doorbell etc. and since I have the U6-lrs lots of issues have dissapeared.
@@RobertoOrtisNo, I only have 2 LR's (and 3 nano's and 2 UP-AC-pro's) I experienced issue's with my google home things. 24 speakers, approx 120 iot's.

@@Geepstar i am going with HomeKit for my house and planning to place 3 U6-LR. Two of them will in the first floor and the third one on the second floor. I hope that will be enough. So, would you say the LR are the best option? I don’t think I will have so many devices as you. Probably half.
@@RobertoOrtisIt should work, but I think I would go for the U6 pro's. But, I am always doing overkill with things like that. Having too much db's shouting can be a problem too (somenone told me)
Great info, however i am interested in the strength over distance. By name i would assume the LR has better distance. I am upgrading a small business that has several small buildings and trying to get coverage to the most area with less. They don't want AP's all over and I don't like having them in guess rooms for them to play around with.
Hi Cody, great video, thank you a lot for comparison. Did you place the LR and Pro APs in the same locations during your tests? I ask because of the strange iPerf pattern. It's ok that Pro wins, but it's a weird that LR has better result for the basement than main floor. Maybe you have some interference? Thanks
Hey, Yup they were mounted in the exact same position. I found it strange as well and did the test 3 times with pretty much the same results . Possible interference but unsure I may try the testing again and mount the APs in a differnt place
Thank you for the great video. Now I'm planing to buy PRO or LR, but since antenna design is important. Where should I put this to cover all 3 storeys of the building? Second storey or the top storey?
Great video. Can't buy any wifi 6 AP's from unifi. They have them listed but have had none for sale on unifi store in Canada this year. I have checked every couple of days since April 2021. Never seen it for sale. Sold out. It's vapour ware and does not exist! I don't think the company is doing that well either. They don't have hardware for sale and most of the product listings are sold out and have been for the entire year!
since release and until recently I had my 6LR in my office closet(mirrored closet doors) on a shilf at the far end of the house and it still covered my house. Very please with it
Hmm, great comparison, but interesting results. I wonder if the iPhone 11 WiFi 6 chipset is the best test. I have 2 laptops that have the Intel AX201 WiFi 6 chipset and I can nearly saturate the gb NIC in the U6-LR from 15 feet away and 2 walls. I upgraded from NanoHD and I find I get better coverage in all the extremes of my home. I also do not see when Ubiquiti says the LR is only 2x2 on 160MHz channel in their docs. Regardless, using 160MHz is probably better since most devices don't support more than 2x2 anyway. I run 160MHz and can routinely almost max my internet (750-850mbs out of 1gb). I have 20-30 devices at any time (13+ are 5GHz and 5 are WiFi6) I think 160Mhz is better than leverage 4.x4 MIMO unless they are all very busy clients.
Interesting, I just upgraded from a nanoHD to a U6 Pro and found that I'm getting weaker signal from the U6 Pro as measured by WiFiMan on an Android device. The U6 Pro consistently shows as 5dBm less than the nanoHD, whether up close or two rooms away. It also tends to lose signal quicker. It's starting to feel it was not an upgrade at all. Both APs are running 6.0.13 and are on Auto signal strength (different bands - 40 and 48 5Ghz).
@@hdtvkeith1604 I'm not surprised that the LR performs better than the nano, but the Pro is a bit disappointing so far (it's now using the 6.0.13 firmware).
@@pedropombeiro I tested replacing an AC LR with the U6 Pro expecting it to be an upgrade, and signal was totally gone in areas where the LR reached easily. I wasn't able to check manual configuration of either, but I am assuming that boosting gain wouldn't have fixed it too much. I am trying to find anyone who can say whether the U6 Pro vs. the U6 LR is a substantial range difference.
How is coverage in a 2-storey house if the AP is installed on the main floor? Does the signal radiate to the upper floor and basement equally, or is it stronger downward to the basement? Currently running an ASUS RT-AC68U with Tomato firmware that covers the entire house. Would the Ubiquiti 6 Pro be a lot stronger in all directions?
Great video! Thank you for your time and effort. Been waiting for this comparision video between the U6 Pro and the U6-LR. Do you have any idea why they removed the 2nd WLAN port as I loved it in the AC-Pro!
I've had the U6LR for a while and had it paired with my UDM and it was underwhelming in all regards. Range wasn't that great and it wasn't very fast either. Side by side with other wifi 6 AP's like the Alien, Velop and a couple ASUS wifi 6 routers, the U6LR was the slowest by far and also had pretty terrible range. Fastest was the ASUS AXE11000 and it's range is insane in my house. Easily 3x dbm vs the others. U6 Pro is on the way to pair with my UDM Pro so hopefully it's a little better.
so really no real world differences especially if you account for testing variances , other than the chipset: Medatek vs Qualcomm and size of the AP. Potentially a little longer range from the LR, but not by much. Maybe really long range testing would show more interesting info. But such odd product offering from UI this time around. And still nothing exciting yet...still no APs with MultiGbit network uplinks and still no WiFi6E.
I really want to see long range testing. I tested replacing an AC LR with a U6 Pro and it was very disappointing. It was the perfect testing environment as it was a 2 story building with 3 wings out from the center and the AP in the center. Going through multiple walls, doors, and down to the first story from the second, the AC LR did fairly well; the U6 Pro had horrible signal all kinds of places the AC LR was strong. I really want to know if the U6 LR is further than the U6 Pro despite the specs.
That is irrelevant. These all run on 1gbps Ethernet. Make sure you are using a gigabit switch and not a 100-megabit switch. You should've already been doing that though.

Would need more details, where it mounted, your location relative to the mount, obstacles in between you and the AP. I.E. Just stepping through a door way can see a large drop in performance, the materials your house is made out of can impact quality of wireless signal. (Looking at you metal lath houses)
The Pro has 2.4Ghz Wi-Fi 6 (AX). Kind of pointless for the next few years at least if not longer. The Pro should be faster then the LR as it is well the Pro version. The LR would have a different coverage pattern which can be good and bad. My solution for the U6-LR is to just have two of them in my 2k sq/ft home which gives me 800 ish on 80Mhz on OpenSpeedTest to my TrueNAS server. I ignore any and all Internet speed tests for Wi-Fi and I have symmetrical Gigabit. Finally replaced my UDM Pro with a C2758 PFSense build. Funny how I just keep coming back to PFSense.

@@magicmanchloe newer 2.4Ghz only clients/devices. ax has multi client advantages, which just testing with a single client will not show any different.
Still waiting for an inwallhd6 :)
