U6-Mesh

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 feel you - bought a used u6 mesh once that acted the same. first run a wifi scan from the unifi controller to see if channel interference is the real issue. then factory reset it three times in a row (seriously, clears weird nvram leftovers). check the transmit power - sometimes used units get set

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

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

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

This is great to know. I have a few U6 Mesh units and whilst they're good, the speed isn't ideal. I'm considering changing back to Deco for the 6ghz backhaul which gave around 3x more speed that Ubiquiti, but keeping the Cloud Gateway Ultra because the configurations options are great.

Oh please. I bet there are tons of people having APs hanging from desks, sitting on cabinets, all over the place. That is a weak example, mine has been hanging from a closet shelf off the Ethernet cable for 19yrs….well this is the 2nd upgrade AP in the same position. But the assumption that you sugg
