Impressive WiFi 6 performance
The Ubiquiti UniFi WiFi 6 Pro Access Point (U6-PRO) is a high-performance, dual-band WiFi 6 (802.11ax) device designed for enterprise and high-density indoor environments. It delivers an impressive aggregate throughput rate of up to 5.3 Gbps, combining 4.8 Gbps on the 5 GHz band with 4×4 MU-MIMO and 573.5 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band. Engineered to support over 300 concurrent clients, the U6-Pro ensures a fast, reliable, and consistent wireless experience even in crowded settings like large offices. It supports full 4×4 MIMO with 160 MHz channels for high-capacity uplinks and includes features like Guest Traffic Isolation for enhanced network security and reduced congestion. The access point is powered by PoE+ (802.3at) and is centrally managed via the UniFi Network Controller, offering easy setup and advanced control over your wireless network.
Key Features
4×4 High-Performance Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax)
The U6 Pro utilizes advanced Wi-Fi 6 technology, delivering an exceptional aggregate throughput of up to 5.3 Gbps. This performance is achieved through a powerful 5 GHz band featuring 4×4 MU-MIMO and OFDMA for 4.8 Gbps, and a 2.4 GHz band with 2×2 MIMO for 573.5 Mbps. This combination provides significant speed and efficiency upgrades over previous Wi-Fi generations.
High Client Capacity
Designed specifically for demanding, high-density environments, the U6 Pro is rated to support over 300 concurrent client devices. Its robust radio and efficient management of spatial streams ensure that large numbers of users and their bandwidth-hungry applications (like video conferencing and 4K streaming) remain connected with minimal latency and superior reliability.
160 MHz Channel Support
The access point supports 4×4 MIMO with a 160 MHz channel width on the 5 GHz band. This capability is crucial for achieving maximum wireless throughput, enabling high-capacity wireless uplinks and extremely fast data transfer speeds for client devices that also support the 160 MHz standard.
PoE+ Power and GbE Uplink
The U6 Pro is powered using Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+, 802.3at), simplifying installation by delivering both power and data over a single Ethernet cable. It features a Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) RJ45 port for its network uplink, pro

FAQs
Does the U6-Pro support outdoor use or mesh networking?
The U6-Pro is designed for indoor ceiling-mount use and does not have an outdoor environmental rating, so it’s not recommended for exterior installations; for outdoors, consider models like the U6-Mesh. It supports wireless meshing in UniFi networks for extending coverage without Ethernet, though wired backhaul is preferred for optimal performance, and mesh is not inherently faster than wired Wi-Fi.
What performance can I expect from the U6-Pro, and how do I optimize it?
The U6-Pro delivers up to 5.3 Gbps aggregate throughput with WiFi 6, supporting 300+ clients over 140 m², but real-world speeds may be lower (e.g., 300-900 Mbps) due to client devices, interference, or settings; optimize by setting non-overlapping channels (e.g., avoid auto-selection issues like defaulting to channel 44 instead of 161), adjusting transmit power to medium/low for multi-AP setups, and ensuring 160 MHz channels on 5 GHz for high-capacity environments.
