Asus Chromebook Vibe CX34 Flip review: This gaming Chromebook makes a seriously impressive Business tool As shown in the photo below, comparing the UniFi 6 Long Range device ‘in the flesh’ (left) with the nanoHD unit (right) shows the UniFi 6 Long Range model to have a much larger form factor. The Ubiquiti UniFi U6-LRis apowerful wireless Access Point leveraging advanced WiFi 6 technology to provide powerful wireless coverage to enterprise environments. What I found interesting to see is that we can see a significant improvement between the Unifi 6 Lite and the old model. But between the U6 LR and the old Long Range model I didn’t. Unifi 6 – 5Ghz performance And, since the Ubiquiti U6-Pro supports 160MHz channel width, I tried to keep the interference to the minimum to see the maximum performance that the AP can reach. At closer range (5 feet), the QCN9024 is absolutely phenomenal, delivering an average of 934Mbps upstream and 625Mbps downstream. Ubiquiti U6-Pro vs Other WiFi 6 Access Points – 5GHz (80MHz) – 5 Feet – Upstream.

In my home network, I was already using the normal Unifi Lite and LR model, so in this article, we will compare the old with the new models. I have done different tests to compare the speed and signal strength of the access points, in different scenarios. Wifi 6 Improvements WiFi 6, the latest generation of wireless technology, brings significant improvements over its predecessors. This technology is designed to support a higher number of devices connected to the network without sacrificing speed or performance. This benefits modern households, stores, and more, where numerous devices, such as smartphones, laptops, and IoT devices, are all vying for a stable and fast internet connection. With 4x4 MU-MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) technology, this access point can communicate with multiple devices simultaneously, further improving the efficiency and speed of the network. Installation Made Easy With PoE With Microless you can buy online all types of computer parts and peripherals, and get them delivered to your home or office with our express delivery options. I’ve seen this approach with lots of EnGenius access points, including the ECW230 and the latest WiFi 6E ECW336, and it works wonders for the heat management of compact access points. Ubiquiti still insists that their APs are suitable for outdoors, so there are no ventilation holes and you do get a silicone cover for the ports area, which means that the device will get hotter to the touch when it’s operational (due to the heat transfer), but there should be no risk of overheating. Ubiquiti U6-Pro Heat Management. The U6-LR does offer more performance and range, but it is also almost double the price of the U6-Lite. Deciding between them depends on a lot of factors, especially if you’re comparing two U6-Lites vs. one U6-LR. If maximum range and speed is your top priority, step up to the U6-LR. If you’re unsure or have a smaller area to cover, the U6-Lite is a good default option.When possible, place two Lite‘s in the center of each wing of your home, that would give the best result. Otherwise, go for the LR. As for the WiFi part, the Ubiquiti U6-LR uses a combination of two chips for the 5GHz band (it actually made me think whether it’s actually tri-band and it’s not): Mediatek MT7975AN and Mediatek MT7915AN 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax 4×4:4 + Bluetooth 5 chip. As for the 2.4GHz radio, it seems to be using the Mediatek MT7622 chip (802.11a/b/g/n 4×4:4). Features Doubling your channel width increases the noise floor by 3 dB, reducing SNR and your range by around 30% each time. I understand the push towards using PoE more since it’s so convenient, but I would have still wanted the option to power up the access point via a power cable. I have mentioned before that the Ubiquiti U6-Pro was built to withstand outdoor conditions and the device is indeed IP54-rated which I suppose could ensure that it withstands some degree of abuse from the elements. But I would still be careful to not put it completely in the open. Make sure that there is some sort of roof above it, otherwise it’s not going to last that long. Internal Hardware (Ubiquiti U6-Pro Teardown) But, while Zyxel, EnGenius and TP-Link have released powerful WiFi 6 access points a couple of years ago, proudly showcasing the best that the standard could offer, Ubiquiti didn’t really care about its competition. So it took its time, only recently making available a 2.5GbE WiFi 6 access point. The Ubiquiti U6-LR still offers a 1Gbps port and, considering the price tag of the device, it makes a lot of sense. To be fair, the entire series is surprisingly affordable, but U6-LR supports 160MHz channel bandwidth, OFDMA, 4×4 MU-MIMO and the support for the excellent UniFi controller.

When further away, you can see the impact of the lower EIRP of the U6-Lite. The UDM and AC-HD are able to compensate with better beamforming, and ended up performing slightly better than the U6-Lite from the furthest location. This is where the U6-LR shows it’s biggest advantage over the U6-Lite. Its higher gain antenna and higher transmit power allow it to reach further than any of the other models I’ve tested. A better antenna and few extra dBm is enough to allow the U6-LR to effectively cover a larger area than any of the other APs listed. Target Wake Time (TWT). This reduces the amount of time that a client device in Power Save (PS) mode needs to be awake (and consuming power). This allows the device to ‘sleep’ longer and reduce energy consumption. This is really important for mobile devices where minimising battery consumption is critical. The quoted wireless specification is given as the maximum radio performance. Achievable range and throughput will vary depending on the regional regulations where the radio is deployed. For the final test to compare the new Unifi Wifi 6 access points I measured before and after replacing the access points at the locations I use the wireless network the most.The Unifi 6 Lite and the U6 LR are the first WiFi 6 access point from Ubiquiti. And even though they are both WiFi 6 access points, they are completely different when it comes to size, specifications, performance, and usability. And even though the congestion is bad the connection is ultra stable, no link drops at all, while the router from isp was really struggling (which made me buy the ubiquity ap) These same improvements are also mentioned on firmware version 5.60.1, which is the most current release candidate as of May 2021. I haven’t re-run these tests with that version yet. For comparisons of all UniFi AP models, see my UniFi Comparison Charts and UniFi Access Point Buyers Guide. Overall, we highly recommend the Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Long Range Access Point – our Best Access Point For 2021.

The combination of a powerful processor, advanced WiFi 6 technology, dual-band operation, and PoE+ support makes this access point an ideal choice for modern, high-demand networks. It ensures fast, reliable, and efficient internet connectivity for a multitude of devices, offering an excellent user experience even in challenging environments. Important Outdoor installation requirements

Ubiquiti UniFi WiFi 6 AccessPoints

One of the advantages of WiFi 6 is that it allows devices to use the same WiFi channels by breaking up the channel into smaller groups (Resource Units). This way more devices can communicate at the same time. Other improvements are MU-MIMO in both downlink and uplink direction, Target Wait Time, Dynamic fragmentation, and more. the MIMO capabilities of client devices, with our speeds consistent for the client devices we used, which were both equipped with 2×2 MIMO (Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max and an Apple Macbook Air M1). While 3×3 MIMO could have achieved higher radio link speeds, these would not have resulted in higher throughputs due to

BSS Colour. By assigning a ‘colour code’ to each Wi-Fi 6 Access Point or router, interference from surrounding Access Points or routers transmitting on the same channel (but different colour codes) can effectively be reduced.

Ideal for Gaming and Streaming

While you may see a data rate of 1200 Mbps, you won’t ever get 1200 Mbps of throughput. There is a lot of overhead in Wi-Fi. Actual TCP throughput is usually 60-70% of your data rate. There are many reasons for this: Before running the tests I first connected both notebooks with an ethernet cable to the switch, run the test, which resulted in a 960Mbit connection speed. In summary, actual throughput speeds with both Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 5 are affected by the following four things: In any case, the performance on 2.4GHz radio should be similar to what we saw on the WiFi 5 Ubiquiti APs, hopefully. Besides OFDMA, there’s MU-MIMO which is only useful with compatible devices and I suppose their number has grown a bit over the last few years, at least in regards to smartphone or laptops. Lastly, there is the possibility to create a mesh network using multiple Ubiquiti access points (wireless Uplink), but will the U6-LR actually connect to nanoHD? And the answer is yes, these devices are compatible, so you can use them for this specific typology. Wireless Test (5GHz)
