UniFi U6 Pro: what it is & who it's for
The sensible default Wi-Fi 6 AP. A 4×4 5 GHz radio and 160 MHz channel width give it real headroom over the U6 Lite — but the 1 GbE uplink is the ceiling, not the air. Mainstream homes and small offices that want a no-drama Wi-Fi 6 AP with room to grow, without paying for Wi-Fi 7.
