The Ubiquiti UniFi U6+ is an access point designed to bring the benefits of WiFi 6 technology to a broader audience by offering an optimal balance of performance, features, and cost. Utilizing 2×2 DL/UL MU-MIMO technology on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, it leverages 160 MHz channel width to deliver a robust maximum data rate of 2.4 Gbps on the 5 GHz band, providing a significant performance uplift over previous-generation AC Wave 2 APs.
Despite its accessible price point, the U6+ does not compromise on the sophisticated feature set expected from the UniFi ecosystem. It includes advanced functionalities such as wireless meshing, band steering, fast roaming (802.11k/v/r), and a full suite of guest management tools, including a customizable captive portal with voucher and payment authentication. Its hardware is designed for efficiency, consuming a maximum of 9W of power and powered via standard PoE, making it easy to deploy in new or existing networks.
Managed through the UniFi Network application (version 7.3.76+), the U6+ is an excellent solution for small to medium-sized businesses, educational settings, and residential applications that seek to upgrade their wireless infrastructure to WiFi 6 without a substantial investment, while still benefiting from enterprise-grade management and security features.
