Ubiquiti Wifi 6 Unifi U6 Wireless Access Point WAP

Ubiquiti’s first Wi-Fi 6 UniFi access points are the U6-Lite and the U6-LR. The U6-Lite is a replacement for the AC-Lite. The U6-LR is a replacement for the AC-LR and AC-Pro. Both models have limited availability, and have frequently been listed above MSRP. The U6-Pro was added in November 2021. The U6-Pro has the highest performance and a Qualcomm chipset, outclassing the Mediatek in the U6-Lite and U6-LR.

You can think of U6-Lite and U6-LR as the first wave of Wi-Fi 6 APs. Ubiquiti calls them “5th Generation” and the U6-Pro is the first “6th Generation” AP. The hypothetical U6-HD/U6-Enterprise and other future models should feature support those higher-end features.
