Management application	UniFi Network: version 7.3.76 and higher

The Ubiquiti U6+ is a compact Access Point of the UniFi series, specifically developed for use in small and medium-sized enterprises. It offers Dualband-WiFi6 support (802.11ax) and improves upon the U6 Lite with higher transmit power and extended functionalities. The Access Point is designed for wall or ceiling mounting and is suitable for indoor environments. It enables coverage of up to 140 m² and can support more than 300 clients simultaneously. Management is performed via the UniFi Network Software, version 7.3.76 and higher.

Applications

The U6+ is suitable for use in offices, small retail spaces, clinics, or other indoor areas where a stable, high-performance WLAN connection for multiple users is required. The maximum coverage of 140 m² makes it particularly suitable for medium-sized rooms. The support for over 300 simultaneous clients enables high usage intensity, for example in work environments with many end devices. The Wi-Fi 6 technology ensures higher data rates, better efficiency with many simultaneous connections, and lower latency.

Features and Equipment in Detail

The Access Point features a single GbE RJ45 port as the network interface, used for both data transmission and power supply via PoE. The maximum transmit power is 23 dBm in both the 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz bands. The antenna gains are 3 dBi in the 2.4-GHz band and 5.4 dBi in the 5-GHz band, ensuring balanced coverage and range. The MIMO technology (2x2) enables higher data rates and improved signal quality. Throughput rates are 573.5 Mbit/s in the 2.4-GHz band and 2402 Mbit/s in the 5-GHz band. The maximum power consumption is 9 W.

Technology Explained Simply

The Wi-Fi 6 technology (802.11ax) offers higher efficiency compared to older standards such as Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) when handling many simultaneous connections. The 2x2 MIMO technology enables simultaneous data transmission over two antennas, increasing bandwidth and stability. The PoE technology (Power over Ethernet) supplies power to the device via the network cable, eliminating the need for a separate power source. Support for DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) without waiting time will be available with upcoming firmware versions, enabling use in frequency bands also used by radar systems.

Compatibility and Accessories

The U6+ is compatible with other devices in the UniFi product family and can be integrated into existing networks. Suitable accessories include, for example, the Ubiquiti Ethernet Surge Protection Outdoor ETH-SP-G2, the Ubiquiti Long-Range In- and Outdoor Ethernet Repeater PoE in/out, the Ubiquiti WifiMan Wizard Mobile Spectrum Analyzer, and the Ubiquiti PoE Injector. These components can be used to extend network functions or improve signal transmission.

Mounting and Installation

The Access Point is designed for wall or ceiling mounting. Installation is done using a mounting system made of ABS and SGCC steel. The device dimensions are Ø160 x 33 mm. The weight is 338 g without mounting bracket and 413 g with mounting bracket. The operating temperature ranges from -30 °C to 60 °C, and the operating humidity ranges from 5 % to 95 %, non-condensing. The CE, FCC, and IC certifications confirm compliance with applicable standards.

Operational Advantages

The U6+ provides a stable and high-performance WLAN connection with high capacity for many simultaneous clients. Management via the UniFi Network Software enables centralized control and monitoring. Support for WPA-PSK and WPA-Enterprise (WPA/WPA2/WPA3) ensures a secure wireless connection. Features such as VLAN (802.1Q), advanced QoS, per-user rate limiting, and guest traffic isolation enable flexible network management. The BSSID support for 8 per radio allows for flexible network configuration.
