Considering an Outdoor AP
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/

IPx5 my rear end 🥲 Had it on my garage for 2 years and 6 months through all sorts of crazy weather, but a light drizzle last week killed it
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/

U6 Mesh melts
Normally, I would not expect them to. In the case of the U6 Mesh, there have been many, many documented cases of the same types of failures; water ingress from the top where the LED ring is and an electrical/component failure that results in the burn through hole like pictured. Some people got lucky

Outdoor application
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

AC mesh pro still worth it??
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

Remote "shed" install via Device Bridge Pro (Network+Access+Protect)
Which one? The u6 mesh or the device bridge? They are both under an overhang. The mesh has been there for 2 winters already. The mesh is also IPX5 rated. That means something. Ubiquity can’t slap the label on anything and then 2 drops of water will kill it. Not worries whatsoever. The picture probab

Anyone see a U6 mesh die like this?
i burned through 3 U6 Mesh things. They were ceiling mounted. I kept telling Ubiquiti they have a heat issue when upside down. As the one I had on my book case has been fine. But never had a burned in hole like that. They just stopped powering on and smelled of burned electronics. After the 3rd one

Extending Coverage to In-Ground Storm Shelter in Garage
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

Weak signal outdoors - best solution?
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
