U6-Mesh

I find the Ubiquiti APs that I have experience with (U6 Pro, U6 Mesh, and U7 In Wall) to be vastly superior to the Fios provided APs in terms of stability and consistency of high throughput. Vastly.

People, it's not a downgrade to U6 Mesh. U6 Mesh had 4x4, but, weaker omnidirectional antennas.This one has a dedicated antenna for the wireless backhaul: 5GHz, directional, 10 dBi. The installation instructions show that you have to point the 2 U7 Mesh devices, with the Ubiquiti logo towards each o

Unfortunately this is a known issue with these. You gotta give them hats. https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/1hxauih/u6_mesh_waterproof_hats/

If the U6 Mesh is wired in, then I have seen behavior where phones suddenly drop off wifi or the wifi says "no internet" on the phone when an Ethernet cable to the AP is bad and causing intermittent behavior. It could also be misconfigured settings for your wifi network. If a cable is flaky, the wir

U7 Outdoor would be best. U6 Mesh apparently has a design defect that lets water in over time and it corrodes and dies. https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/1s1or4w/avoid_u6_mesh_these_have_a_design_flaw_that/

Good luck! They didn't do any extended warranties. A handful of people somehow got them replaced out of warranty, no rhyme or reason for it. I was not one of the lucky ones - 4 months out of warranty but only in service for a year.As you discovered, it's a known issue but Ubiquiti still has not owne

honestly a storm shelter is tough because of the concrete. mesh from the garage will still struggle to penetrate. i'd run an ethernet cable into the shelter and mount a U6 Mesh or U6 Extender inside. the U6 Mesh is weather-rated so fine for a shelter. if you really can't run cable, try placing a U6

kinda faced this last month with backyard coverage. placing an indoor ap behind a wall will kill half your signal even at 5m - brick eats 5ghz like candy. drill once and do it right. for cheapest outdoor friendly option look at the UAP-AC-Mesh or the newer U6-Mesh. both handle weather and mount easi

i feel you on the yard coverage. since you already have full ubiquiti system, look at the U6 Mesh or U7 Outdoor - both are weather rated and have good 360 degree coverage. if you really want corner position with directional pattern, the UBB or Building Bridge units are overkill but work. honestly th

honestly for 45 bucks it's not bad but you're spot on about EOL worries. ubiquiti still supports the AC line but they've been pushing wifi 6 hard. i grabbed a U6 Mesh instead last month and it's been solid with better future proofing. the AC Mesh Pro will probably lose major updates in a year or two
