High-Performance Coverage for Any Environment
The Ubiquiti UniFi U6-LR is a high-performance, ceiling-mounted WiFi 6 access point designed for extended coverage in demanding environments, delivering AX3000 aggregate throughput with 4×4 MU-MIMO and OFDMA on the 5 GHz band for up to 2.4 Gbps, complemented by 4×4 MIMO on 2.4 GHz for reliable connectivity up to 600 Mbps. Featuring 8 spatial streams, it supports over 350 concurrent clients across a generous 185 m² (2,000 ft²) area, powered via PoE+ for easy installation and managed seamlessly through the UniFi Network application for centralized control, analytics, and optimization in business or enterprise networks.
Key Features
Extended Long-Range Wi-Fi 6 Coverage
The UniFi U6-LR is engineered to deliver exceptional wireless range, making it ideal for covering large areas like expansive homes, campuses, or warehouses. Leveraging its high-power transmission and advanced, optimized antenna design, the U6-LR pushes the boundaries of coverage compared to standard access points. This extended reach ensures a strong, reliable signal with minimal dead zones, dramatically improving signal penetration and consistency even through walls and challenging structural obstacles.
High Client Device Capacity
The UniFi U6-LR is built for environments where many users and devices connect concurrently, such as corporate offices, hotels, or educational facilities. Its high-efficiency Wi-Fi 6 chipset and robust internal processing power allow it to effectively support over 300 concurrent clients without performance degradation. The use of OFDMA and MU-MIMO in the GHz band ensures that network resources are allocated efficiently, eliminating the bottlenecks and slowdowns often experienced when large numbers of devices are active.
IP54-Rated Indoor/Semi-Outdoor Durability
Designed for deployment versatility, the U6-LR features an IP54-rated enclosure. This weather resistance rating means the device is protected from limited dust ingress and water spray from any direction, allowing it to be mounted in various locations beyond typical office spaces. It is perfectly suited for covered outdoor areas, patios, or industrial settings where minor environmental exposure is a factor, providing flexible, high-performance coverage exactly where it’s needed.
Seamless UniFi Network Controller Management
Like all UniFi products, the U6-LR is centrally managed by the UniFi Network Controller. This intuitive software interface allows for simplified setup, adoption, configuration, and monitoring of the entire network from a single pane of glass. Administrators can quickly manage guest portals, set up multiple SSIDs, apply per-user rate limiting, perform firmware updates, and visualize network performance and connected clients, ensuring a scalable and professional-grade wireless infrastructure.

FAQs
Is the U6-LR suitable for outdoor use?
The U6-LR has an IP54 rating for dust and water resistance, making it viable for indoor and semi-outdoor environments like covered patios, but it’s not fully outdoor-rated and may fail in direct exposure to heavy rain or extreme weather; for true outdoor deployments, opt for models like the U6-Mesh or dedicated outdoor APs.
Why does my U6-LR keep rebooting or disconnecting clients?
Frequent reboots or disconnects often stem from underpowering (e.g., using PoE instead of PoE+), faulty cables, firmware bugs (like in certain updates causing instability), or overheating in batches from 2022; troubleshoot by verifying PoE+ compliance, testing with short UTP cables, disabling auto-optimizations like band steering or nightly channel scans, and updating/downgrading firmware—many users report RMAs resolving hardware defects.
What is the actual range and coverage of the U6-LR?
The U6-LR provides extended coverage up to 185 m² (2,000 ft²) indoors, supporting 350+ clients, thanks to higher TX power (26 dBm) and antenna gain (4 dBi on 2.4 GHz, 5.5 dBi on 5 GHz) compared to models like the U6-Pro; real-world range varies with interference, walls, and client devices—optimize by mounting on ceilings, adjusting transmit power to medium/low in multi-AP setups, and using non-overlapping channels for better fringe coverage.
