Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Long-Range Access Point U6-LR

Product Information

Having said this, the introduction of new modulation and coding schemes with Wi-Fi 6 (using 1024-QAM) does provide for modest speed improvements in excellent radio conditions. Even if you deploy Wi-Fi 6 everywhere, you could decide to deploy UniFi 6 Long Range Access Points in the most important locations while using lower-cost UniFi 6 Lite Access Points in less-important locations. This raises maximum data rates from a 867 Mbps to 1200 Mbps for a typical 2 stream client over an 80 MHz channel. I know other publications showed different specs which is why it’s important to actually open the device and check it yourself (perhaps we’re dealing with a hardware revision, but my point still stands).

PoE+ (PoE injector sold separately) and also features a Bluetooth Low Energy Radio for location based services. It is really important to emphasise that bolstering signal levels by deploying multiple Access Points will provide huge benefit to those currently running a single Wi-Fi router, irrespective of whether these are Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6. GHz wasn’t changed in the Wi-Fi 5 standard so It tops out at 64-QAM, resulting in a lower data rate and lower throughput. The top plastic part is glued to the bottom section and even if I was using a heat gun, I still had to scratch and deform the case to finally be able to pop the top part off (this time, my fingers remained relatively intact).

The access point can reach an aggregate throughput rate up to 3 Gbps with its 5 GHz (4x4 MU-MIMO and OFDMA) and 2. It’s capable of covering a large area and also better at picking up the signal of the weaker mobile devices (which have a low transmit power compared to the access points). And even though they are both WiFi 6 access points, they are completely different when it comes to size, specifications, performance, and usability.

The first thing I tested was an ideal scenario, when you’re in the same room as the access point and have minimal background noise on the channel.When we look at the signal strength we see again a great improvement between the lite models and only a minimal to no improvement between the long-range models. It is vital to realise that Wi-Fi 6 only performs at its best when client devices are very close to a Wi-Fi router or Access Point. cm (a tiny tiny bit larger than the UAP-AC-Pro) and, while the top section is plastic, the bottom is made of metal alloy.
