I've tested the crap out of the 6 lite and the 6 pro. Don't buy the lites. Buy the pro for a little more.

I'd rather have 3 Lite's on different floors than rely on one Pro/LR/HD in a central location for home use.

That answer to that questions depends on if you're a member of Ubiquiti's Early Access program.

Yeah, but they never have them, at least in the US.

I guess your fabricated scenario doesn't factor cost in at all.


In a real world scenario, especially as it applies to Slickdeals members, cost is a factor. Dollar for dollar I'd take two Pros over three Lites in a residential deployment. It's not even close either. Hell, I might even consider deploying a single Pro for half the cost of your 3-Lite-AP scenario.


There's lots of factors to consider and every site is different but rare would be the scenario where I'd want your proposed solution over the other options for the same or even less investment.

I'm a noob here, would this work by it self or does it have to pair with another unit of the same brand?

This is just an access point, which means it will essentially share a wired connection with wifi clients and that is it. It doesn't have routing capabilities, so it is not like it can be plugged directly into your modem/WAN connection. Most people buy routers that have built in wifi access points. In order to use this you still need a router.

I'm just about to finally setup my wifi 6 LR that I was able to get when it was first out of release from early access.

Quote from Kermee :
They run 160 MHz in DFS channels basically maxed out Tx/Rx 24/7 from multiple clients. They've been rock solid the past few beta firmwares. Only downside is the upstream is limited by the 1G wired port. A bunch of us testers can confirm the 1G wired port is the bandwidth bottleneck in certain scenarios. What's sad is the Qualcomm chipset in the units natively supports 2.5G so it was a decision by Ubiquiti to lock them at 1G. Otherwise, one of the best WiFi 6 APs out there that doesn't cost a kidney.
Has there been any talk of them unlocking the full 2.5G of the wired port? And is the 6 Pro 802.3af PoE powered like the Lite? If not, what is needed to power it?

I have heard the 6 Lites are not great, similar to their Wifi 5 Lite not being great either. The LR's and the Pro are much better from what I have heard.

I've run AC Pro's, LR's and Lite's and they've all been fine. The fanciest device I have is 2x2 MIMO so anything beyond the Lite is overkill right now. I wait for sales and have gotten the Lite's for $63. Cheapest I've seen a Pro is $120 so I usually figure 2x Lite's for one Pro into my site survey. If I could only have one AP then yeah, Pro all day.
