Wondering the same. Also is a pro really any better than the Lite which is $99 and typically already overkill for residential purposes.

One has to ask, is this really better/more range than getting a refurb AX-58U from Amazon ($120) and using it in AP mode? Especially if you don't have other Ubiquiti equipment to manage from the same system/UI, or in a house where you don't want to mess with the ceilings and walls for mounting or having to get a separate PoE injector? I have an edgerouter 4 as my router and it's not tied to the same interface as any of their wireless stuff and the work to accomodate the ubiquiti wireless AP stuff is just too much hassle for me.

This is the math I used to get the Asus instead. It works really well with Wifi 6 for me.

I've been holding out, went with a couple wifi6 lites for my home along side a few of their AC units Ive had for years. Once they go 2.5gb or better and have Wifi6E Ill probably do a whole house swap. The wifi6 lite's are goood nuff and net me >700 megabits on a speedtest. Id rather have 3 lites than 2 pros for better coverage in my home.

Most annoying exclusion with this new iteration is the lack of a secondary, switched gigabit port.

No. You either need to use with a PoE providing switch or a 48v injector (+20 bucks or so)

You're right, without already being invested in Unifi there isn't much of a case to be made.

They're very stable, but performance isn't the greatest and the management overhead isn't worth it for most. It's prosumer equipment for those who like a lot of flexibility over their deployment and don't mind tinkering to get things working just right. For those who prefer "set it and forget it" and don't have a lot of traffic or client devices, there are better options elsewhere.

Yeah, I have seen a huge increase in range, reliability of connection, and speed.
Coincidentally, half my 2.4ghz smart home devices that used that AP no longer get internet…

The lites, for this iteration, are likely plenty for a home deployment. Previous lite, those things were horrible. I'd only consider the pro if you have a ton of devices connecting and/or need the extra bandwidth wireless to wireless.

A have a few older units that have been great but I put 2 u6 lites in my father in laws house about a year ago and he's had to power cycle them twice now. Between that and buggy firmware versions I'm holding off on more ubiquiti equipment for now. I was very impressed by the old LR unit's range but the u6 lite range is just average.

If you only need one AP and don't need PoE or wall mounting, a router in AP mode is going to be simpler and cheaper. But for anyone who wants the features and is technically knowledgeable I'm not aware of anything that is obviously cheaper or better than ubiquiti.

Do you split your 2.5 and 5 signals into different networks?
