U6-Mesh

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/

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/

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

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

Get a U7 Outdoor or Pro version. No idea how they'll last outside since they're too new. But the U6 Mesh has a design flaw that allows water to get inside and Ubiquiti knows about but they don't care. It should've been recalled or at least the warranty extended.There are 3rd party covers for the top

No idea why but they don't offer the extended warranty on the U6-Mesh. Maybe Ubiquiti knew they wouldn't last long after the 1 or 2 year warranty.

Sounds like a U6 mesh, they get crazy hot but it's normal. However the 'inside sliding out' is not normal and sounds like the glue has failed. I would contact Ubiquiti for assessment and definitely do not use it outside.

Dielectric grease is an interesting solution. I hadn't considered that, actually! I'd usually use a weatherproofing boot/seal. U6 Meshes burning themselves down is unfortunately pretty common, hence I don't recommend them anymore. Regardless, the U7 Outdoor has a better water resistance rating than

Seems a lot of Ubiquiti gear runs hot - I have a U6 Mesh that is hot, I now point a USB powered fan at it and it's really cooled down a lot.

So, what’s the deal with the U6 Mesh? If you look around online, there are plenty of reports of these units failing from water damage. So what’s actually going on? Here’s my take: The U6 Mesh runs extremely hot... hot enough that it’s brutally uncomfortable to hold. It’s unclear why it was designed
