Ubiquiti UniFi U6+ Key Specs & Features
Ubiquiti UniFi U6+ is priced at Kes 16,200 here at Novelty Tech Solution in Nairobi, Kenya
| Category | Specification |
|---|---|
| WiFi Standard | WiFi 6 (802.11ax) dual‑band (2.4 GHz & 5 GHz) |
| Spatial Streams / MIMO | 2×2 MU‑MIMO on both bands (so 4 spatial streams total) |
| Max PHY Data Rates | • 5 GHz: up to ~2402 Mbps • 2.4 GHz: up to ~573‑574 Mbps • Combined theoretical throughput ~ ~3 Gbps (not necessarily real‑world) |
| Ethernet / Port | 1× Gigabit Ethernet (RJ‑45) uplink / interface |
| Power / PoE | Supports standard PoE (802.3af) PoE‑in. Some listings mention support for a “passive PoE” or alternative 44‑57V DC which is more like the Ubiquiti passive style in some regions. But the main spec is 802.3af. Max power draw ~ 9 W in typical use. |
| Transmit Power | Around 23 dBm on both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands (varies with regulatory region) |
| Antenna Gain | 2.4 GHz: ~ 3 dBi; 5 GHz: ~ 5.4 dBi (internal antennas) |
| Physical / Mechanical | • Dimensions: Ø 160 × 33 mm (≈ 6.3 × 1.3 in) • Weight: ~ 338 g without mount; ~ 413 g with mount • Enclosure materials: polycarbonate + aluminum etc. Mounting hardware included for ceiling or wall mounting. |
| Operating Environment | Temperature: approx. ‑30 °C to +60 °C Humidity: 5‑95% non‑condensing |
| Client / Coverage Capacity | Supporting over 300 concurrent clients in many listings; coverage area in indoor environments often listed as ~ 140 m² (~1,500 ft²) |
| Software / Management | Managed via UniFi Network Controller (desktop or cloud‑based); supports typical UniFi features: multiple SSIDs, VLANs, guest networks, rate limiting, etc. |
Things to Watch / Trade‑Offs
-
Real‑world throughput will often be lower than the theoretical max, especially for 5 GHz with 160 MHz channels, due to interference, distance, obstacles, etc.
-
PoE source matters: Because it needs 802.3af, using a compatible PoE switch or injector is important. Using passive PoE or wrong voltage can cause issues. Some listings say support for “44‑57V passive PoE” but usually the recommended and standard method is active 802.3af.
-
Number of clients vs performance: It can handle many clients (300+), but if many are doing heavy traffic (4K video, large file transfers), you might need more APs or upgrade to a higher model.
-
Ceiling vs wall mounting: Performance can vary depending on mounting location; ceiling‑mount usually gives more even coverage in larger areas.
-
Firmware requirements: Some features or optimizations (channel widths, DFS, etc.) may depend on having a recent UniFi Network Controller firmware (some sources say version 7.3.76+).
