Ubiquiti U6+ Dual Band IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax 3 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point

Ubiquiti it's an ecosystem. You'll need a Ubiquiti router to go with this, the setup of the unit is done though the router. This is a nice unit, you do need Power over Ethernet (POE+) to power the unit. Ubiquiti makes a POE+ injector that works with this unit. I've installed two of these in my house, one replaced my old wifi router (on the second floor) and I added a second (in the basement) to improve the 5ghz signal on the ground floor. The nice thing is that these are not that expensive so adding a second unit to improve coverage is cost effective. The setup is a lot cleaner than most of the consumer wifi access points I've worked with. And the U6+ has some nice features, like being able to setup multiple wifi ssids and have a guest network, and add a network just for you IOT devices. I've only recently joined the Ubiquiti ecosystem, I needed a new main router and after a couple of misfires I dropped the cash for a Ubiquiti Dream Machine Pro. AND I AM glad I did. I haven't had a problem with the unit and adding these wifi access points to the system was easy. Plug them into the POE power Injector hooked to the network port, go to the router web interface, adopt them (yes the are sad and lonely orphans until you adopt them) and set the ssids and passwords. I set the U6+ to the same ssid and password that I used on the old wifi access point and all my devices just logged right in. I didn't have to go around and mess with them. Even my kindles and Echos were happy. Adding the second Access Point (AP) was simple. Plug it in, adopt it, and it was done. My devices log into the strongest of the two APs. This is the kind of networking I love, it just works. I'm sold on Ubiquiti. Nice hardware good simple appearance. Nice web interface. You can locally administer the router, and don't have to use the cloud management. All the cloud management port is doing is connecting you to the routers web interface. For home use it's a toss up. The U6+ is a solid unit and kind of looks like a sleek fire alarm when mounted on the ceiling. Mine is in a closet, and I left the led on so now there is a little illumination in the closet. Two for one. My wifi is great, my devices are happy, and I have hardware that is supported and getting firmware updates.

I am using this without the Ubiquiti ecosystem. I simply have it plugged into my router via Ethernet (then adding PoE with dedicated box). I then run the ethernet cable to the 3rd floor where there is no Wifi making the trip, and pow, it works! It is fast! The signal is strong! And it sits there running like a truck. I've never needed to futz with it. By the way, this setup replaced a 5 device Eero mesh. If you can run cable, this is a far better product.

I've recently made the switch to Ubiquiti network devices and am left wishing I had done so far sooner! I used to use this brand for work, and should have known based on that experience that I'd be happier with this route back then. But after waiting as long as I have, I am much happier with everything in their lineup. The customization of my network is far easier to implement. My network is far more secure. I get better service and range throughout my house with just 3 access points, compared to having 5 netgear mesh routers. The stability of my network is fantastic, now! Tons of extra features that only serve to make my home network better! And all of it is just so easy to use with their software and webpage access. Yes, they are a little more expensive compared to some other options, but their ease of use and installation far outweigh those others, even for the price.

The Internet in my home had been getting progressively slower, and the television was becoming unwatchable. After a protracted diagnostic process, I isolated my access points as being the problem. These units were at least five years old and were totally obsolete. I bought two ubiquity dual band access points, which arrived the same day. The mounting process was a breeze; I have ethernet cables coming out of holes in the ceiling. I was able to attach the two piece mounting plate to a ceiling joist. After attaching the units to the plate, there is still a little bit of a hole visible from the original junction box in the ceiling. It would be nice if the mounting plate had holes for a standard junction box. Anyway, once the thing was plugged in, and I found the right app, the access points were immediately found. I programmed them to my existing Wi-Fi and password, and that was that. It took about 10 minutes. The speed is phenomenal. The coverage is expensive. I couldn’t be happier. I’m just sorry I didn’t do this years sooner.

Love it better than wifi

The device itself and the functionality I've gotten from the them has been amazing. Didn't really need to do any setup other than making sure they can connect back to the Ubiquity Cloud I have in my stack. The entire Ubiquiti setup was very straight forward. The reason this review is not 5 stars is only due to the mounting system on these APs. As long as you don't have to move the AP around it's fine, but troubleshooting is a pain due to the mounting/un-mounting process.

I really enjoy the ease of the Ubiquiti UniFi products. The network is very easy to setup from the novice to the expert. This unit replaced a failed AP from a lightning strike. The vendor was very quick to respond and ship. Had the replacement early next morning to restore service!

Works great and easy to setup. I use this outside asa dedicated WiFi for outdoor tv. It is in a covered area outdoors.
