Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Lite Access Point | US Model | PoE Adapter not Included (U6-Lite-US)

I work in an office where our state-provided Internet was garbage and we had the opportunity to add a regular ISP and our own hardware to the mix. I went with four (and growing) Ubiquiti APs and they have all worked -flawlessly- since install. Adopting them into our network was easy (it also helps greatly that we're using a Ubiquiti DreamMachine Pro SE to drive it all). The UniFi app is pleasant enough to use and has the features I was looking for in prosumer-grade network devices/software. Keeping track of what devices are on what AP, which are using a lot of data, securing the network, etc. is all very easy with these access points (and the UniFi app & UDM Pro SE.) I love the simplicity of having one CAT5/6 line running to each radio and that being all you need (assuming whatever it's connected to has 802.3af PoE and not passive PoE - I learned this the expensive way). Devices also may roam around basically anywhere in the office without losing connection. The included mounting hardware should also cover most situations and has also performed perfectly so far. I can also remotely administer them/the network (as long as the Internet connection feeding it all stays up.) The TL;DR of it is that these are devices you basically never have to babysit - they just work after the initial setup. I likely won't be at this agency for the rest of my career and I need something that will work spectacularly after I leave; these are it!

Integration of this AP into my home network was very straight-forward. Ubiquiti does require that you use their app or network appliance for configuration, as they do not provide a web interface like a SoHo router/AP would. However, the result of this decision is a more streamlined device with better speed and less overhead. For the adventurous and those that still really don't want to trust the app, you might instead choose to convert the AP to run OpenWRT. Be warned, however, that the result of doing so is an interface that is not as friendly as the Ubiquiti app, and performing the conversion would probably void your warranty as well. Installation: General installation is mostly a simple matter for someone with basic home handiwork skills. Drill the holes in the proper places, add the backing plate (if mounted to drop ceiling) or use the wall retainers** for drywall, mount the mounting plate, drill the cable hole and feed the cable^^, and settle the AP onto the mounting plate with a twist. This sounds easy and the AP even has markings for alignment onto the mounting plate. However, there are two gotchas I found with this kind of installation. **: The wall retainers and screws included with the mounting kit are, to put it simply, useless. The retainers don't have enough grip to properly hold the AP on a ceiling installation. All four retainers pulled right out on me during the installation, and I needed to replace the parts with something better to get a good, solid mount. ^^: Seriously, make sure you have the space all around the mounting site and drill the hole for the cable AFTER you have the mount plate in place. The cable hole must be positioned very carefully or you'll have serious issues getting the unit to mount properly because the cable will be in the way. If the cable hole MUST be distant from the mounting bracket, there is a pop-out cable pass-through opening on the back of the AP. All that said and done, the signal distribution from the central, ceiling-mounted orientation is absolutely perfect. With all previous attempts I had using desktop or wall-mount consumer-grade APs, there were always dead zones that led to no amount of headaches. With the UniFi 6 Lite in place, there isn't a single dead zone. Coverage appears balanced and even across all spaces. End result: There's a clear reason why APs like this are used in corporate and enterprise environments. However, it doesn't require you be in an office to buy and deploy one. Even the Lite version does an excellent job in a basic home environment.

This thing is amazing. It even improved the wi-Fi signal for a neighbor across the yard compared to an "on-site" router provided by the internet company we use. Get at least a 15w PoE converter, and you will more than likely get a stronger and longer WiFi signal. Plus it actually looks slick. If your PoE converter is too weak, it won't work, but it is not the 6 Lite's fault! I went from 2 Mbps to 170-200 (with this being considerably closer than the main router), and my neighbor roughly doubled their speed even with this extender being in a totally different building than the router they were using. It plugs into an existing router, so how it ekes out more signal is beyond me, but I don't need to understand it.

Excelente AP

These access points are rock solid. As long as they have power, they work. The range on the Lite model isn't so awesome compared to the larger ones, but if you don't have a huge area to cover and want something reliable, this will do it for you. The only slight hassle is the need to run the "unifi controller" on a computer to configure it if you don't have the dedicated unifi hardware controller. This isn't hard but means it becomes tied to that machine if you want to be able to update the configuration.

I purchased this directly from Ubiquiti for the MSRP of $149, which is an excellent price. Ubiquiti's stock issues have improved; I recommend purchasing directly from them and paying MSRP instead of these scalper costs. Added this to my network along with a U6-Lite to replace existing setup of two UAP-AC-PRO to add full WiFi-6 coverage. In testing I was able to get speeds up to 500Mbps with an average of 100-350Mbps on the same floor as the AP, coverage seems the same if not better than the older units. The device feels much more solidly built as well, and size is slightly reduced. I only have two caveats, and both are on me not the product: - There's only one ethernet port, not a primary and secondary like my older UAP-AC-PROs. - The Cat7 cable I ordered does not work with POE+. Luckily, I have a POE injector that worked since this doesn't come with one.

Muy buenos

I purchased a handful of these for my home to replace some older UniFi access points. I primarily wanted the added speed and capacity of WiFi 6. Currently I'm running them in a wireless mesh configuration since I don't have cabling to the entire house yet. These access points are as easy to install as any other UniFi hardware (just adopt them in the Controller) and provide a nice bump in speed. I'm able to get almost full gigabit speed now from my newer devices. It also made the numerous IoT devices around my home much happier. Can't beat the price either at $99 each. If you don't have an existing UniFi setup, however, these probably aren't for you. They CAN be integrated into other networks, but it's much easier when you have an existing UniFi infrastructure (router, switches, controller, etc). Don't expect an internal web GUI or standalone configuration for these...That's just not how UniFi works. You MUST use the UniFi controller software (available free or as part of a dedicated appliance). These are JUST access points. No onboard router. If you're looking for a standalone solution, look more toward the UniFi Dream Machine or AmpliFi. My only big gripe is that documentation and support is pretty much limited to the online forums. You won't be able to call up Ubiquiti for answers. On the plus side, they are inexpensive enough that you can purchase a couple for spares. I haven't had any failures, but it never hurts.

Worked as intended. It was easy to install

I use it at home. And I have to restart it once in awhile but otherwise its a great product. Want to buy more from the brand.

Cette AP est toujours en fonction. Aucun bug jusqu’à présent

The setup is simple and works well in my 1400 square foot house.

Use it at the office. I see it with 30 devices connected and nobody complains about anything. The Lite is all you need why spend more?
