UniFi 6 Long Range

Just curious on thoughts. All of my equipment used to be in my home office, but the wife got tired of looking at it. So, I bought a rack, mounted it in my climate controlled garage high on the wall and out of the way, learned how to terminate CAT-6, ran miles and miles of CAT-6 cable throughout the

My experience with the U6-LR has always been substandard (hot, a bit erratic speed wise, random disconnects…). On the other hand, I highly recommend the U6-Pro (cheaper, faster, cooler, stable…) It has been an open secret for the more experienced to avoid anything “LR” from UniFi’s range due to its

I have both a U6 LR and U6+, which is basically a Wifi 6 version of these two APs. They have IDENTICAL coverage in my house. The LR does nothing for coverage in my case. It is however significantly larger, heavier, runs insanely hot and consumes 3x the power. Secondly, no matter what Unifi AP you pi

Ich hab unser Eigenheim komplett mit Ubiquiti ausgerüstet. Vorher war ne Fritz-Box mit Repeatern verbaut. Wir waren erst auf dem U6-LR und sind jetzt auch komplett auf U7 umgestiegen. Die Verwaltung von Clients ist super, die Abdeckung ist super, die Geschwindigkeit ist super. Ich betreibe damit dre

+1 on info here. My experience (a little dated but not wildly) is similar: 1 year is market term, sometimes you can get 2-3 for true workmanship defects. Full warranty coverage beyond a year usually requires an ongoing maintenance or extended warranty contract that is not always cheap. I think the l

I have an 8 port PoE Texas injector and as you can see- it's obviously made in the same factory and it works just fine. That said, a PoE switch does give you some benefits. You can monitor the power usage for your PoE devices and if you have a failing U6 LR, for example, you'd be able to see the pow

I’ve been running two U6-LR’s for a couple years now. No issues that I’ve run into. I’ve heard people saying the opposite as well, that they have all kinds of issues with U7 products after upgrading from U6 devices. I think it’s just a YMMV situation with Ubiquiti sometimes.

Sounds like you need to UNPLUG two or disable the POE in those 2 ports. Disabled ap is still being powered so is not saving power. Test with a poe injector. Ubiquiti has had issues with poe chip failing where a poe injector works because it isnt required to negotiate with the port so bypasses the fa

Was coming here to say exactly this. If OP is testing over WiFi then yeah, depending on which frequency they're on and their phone and router that can explain a lot. I have a Pixel 7, AT&T gigabit fiber, and my home network is a Unifi system with a UDM SE for the gateway ($500) and a U6 LR ($180) fo

Likewise, I had to keep 802.11r Fast Transition disabled for my Apple devices to work with my Ubiquiti UniFi U6 LR v1 that I've been using with OpenWRT since 21.02 and now 24.10.1. I've got an iPhone 11 Pro, iPad 8, Mac mini M1, Apple TV HD 4th gen, MacBook Pro 13" 2015, and an Apple Watch series 3
