wifi 6 ONLY at 5 GHz
Wifi 6 (802.11ax) basically works on both the 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz bands. However, the previous UniFi 6 line (lite and LR) only works on 5 GHz. Apparently because the "MediaTek MT7915" chip was installed. Clearer communication for the ottonormal consumer would have been helpful. After the endless waiting, this is now a bitter disappointment. The range of the 5GHz is minimal.
Pro
- UniFi ecosystem
Contra
- no wifi 6 at 2.4 GHz
Meets the high expectations
Probably rightly the UniFi products are considered top. The biggest advantage for me is the automatic setup of 2 or more acess points (in my case 1st and 2nd floor) in the house with the same WiFi SSID. Setting the channels for optimal handoff when moving from one AP to another is automatic.
Pro
- Latest WiFi standard
- Easy to install
- Easy handover from one AP to another
- Monitoring via UniFi Controller
- Power supply via injector or PoE
Contra
- PoE Injector must be purchased separately
- Delivery time indication was unreliable
- Not quite cheap
Good coverage

Practical UFO on the wall
Easy to set up and install, requires PoE (Power over Ethernet) and appropriate power supply if necessary. Works reliably and well so far.
Easy integration and installation
small USG from Ubiquiti has no firewall, no poe, access point needs injector for power supply of access point, Dreammachine from Ubiquiti have no poe. Only Dreammachine Specialized has power supply with PoE. So an injector is needed, relatively costly. You need two network cables per injector. One for the network, the other for the power, i.e. occupy many sockets.
Pro
- Simple installation
- Doesn't get as warm as Ubiquiti's cylinder access points, which can reach 50 degrees Celsius.
- Mesh network possible with UpLink
- LED can be dimmed
- Fair-weather installation: finds units without problems
Contra
- Bad weather installation: outdated software
- depending on this, the access point must be reinstalled from scratch
- Bluetooth partially not found
- Bad weather instillation: does not find devices, outdated software
- No contact with router
- VLANs: set up autonomously on router VLAN 1, VLAN2 etc.
- Access point WiFi range not as far as Cisco access points
Perfect!

OK but with a small glitch
Overall, this is a relatively powerful yet compact Access Point. The only strange behavior was that when I first connected the Access Point to a Unifi POE switch, the switch rebooted. This happened only once, the rest has been a stable and satisfying experience.

- Caused (Unifi) POE switch to reboot upon first connecting
Works well
