Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Lite vs Ubiquiti UniFi FlexHD

So you'll see better performance consistency and better bandwidth as well. And we'll have to see if that long range device that they make gives us bet...

UPDATE- it's been 5 months, and my to UNIFI WAPs, (this, and an AC PRO) have been working flawlessly. I ended up ordering a couple of Intel based PCI NICs for a couple of my computers so they can take advantage of AC (I've been using N since before AC existed and these are my first AC WAPs) and I have good coverage.

I purchased this directly from Ubiquiti for the MSRP of $149, which is an excellent price. Ubiquiti's stock issues have improved; I recommend purchasing directly from them and paying MSRP instead of these scalper costs. Added this to my network along with a U6-Lite to replace existing setup of two UAP-AC-PRO to add full WiFi-6 coverage. In testing I was able to get speeds up to 500Mbps with an average of 100-350Mbps on the same floor as the AP, coverage seems the same if not better than the older units

Alright so there's only really two ports on this thing, we have the ethernet, this is a gigabit ethernet port, and then there's also a reset button fo...

I had no previous dead spots and could reach my garage w/o issue and now this is no longer possible. Worse to get to my garage now I'd probably need a larger access point because the lite simply cannot reach my garage when placed as close I possibly can w/o going outside. I'll continue to look for a proper replacement that meshes well and doesn't break the bank but for simple usage this isn't worth the hassle. I should add that the IOS setup on this was worthless

I noticed a good 30%-35% drop in 2.4GHz range, and a smaller but still definitely noticeable drop in 5GHz range. UBNT says they designed this AP to perform better on 5GHz than 2.4

I needed a more reliable wireless Access Point in my home and have used UniFi in business applications and had to have one here as well!

Primary services first floor office and second floor above I have a pro on low. Performed site survey with NetSpot Pro and used Android Wifi Analysis app. I turned off power to all AP's except Flex HD and wall penetration is low which isn't consistent with transmission and antenna gains. The pro should not have superior coverage, but it does in my testing

It's strange they didn't put at least a 2.5gig port or something back there or maybe 10gb port. I mean if WiFi 6 is supposed to help saturate a connection then all our technical limits are going to be based on the 1gb wired connection they max out at, meaning 1 client or 100 clients, the max that puppy can handle is 1gbps give or take 10% for overhead. One day, we will have AP's that have 10gig network connection behind them and blazing fast speeds

Wow so 10 megabytes per second on the download, 4.4 megabytes on the upload. That's not bad for being out here in the middle of the garden. All right ...
