How to Choose a UniFi Access Point
A decision guide to the mainstream UniFi access points — U6 Lite, U6 Pro, and U7 Pro — across Wi-Fi generation, 6 GHz band, uplink speed, and PoE class.
Independent, field-tested configuration guides, explainers, and walkthroughs — written for engineers and serious home-lab operators.
Each guide covers a specific UniFi concept, hardware decision, or configuration task in depth — with real network topologies, working command examples, and honest assessments of where UniFi excels and where it falls short. Guides are updated when Ubiquiti ships firmware changes that alter behaviour.
