Ubiquiti released the UniFi U6-Pro-US Wi-Fi 6 access point so this review will be comparing the Wi-Fi throughput speed against the previous Ubiquiti UAP-AC-Pro Wi-Fi 5 access point to see if improved iPhone Wi-Fi speed makes upgrading to Wi-Fi 6 worth it.

The Unifi review will also cover how to optimize and tune your access point's 5ghz radio channel width to use HE80 or HE160 to allow your access point to run at full speed so-to-speak.

I recently upgraded to the Unifi Dream Machine SE from the USG which makes the new Unifi Wi-Fi 6 routers compatible and the iPhone 13 Pro I'm using for the test supports Wi-Fi 6 as well. The iPerf server will be running on a 1gbps wired desktop computer within the LAN to eliminate variances in WAN internet speed in the speed test.

The UAP-AC-Pro 5ghz throughput is rated at 1300 mbps where the U6-Pro-US increases the throughput rating to 4800 mbps per the specifications and goes from 3x3 MIMO to 4x4 MIMO on the 5ghz radio band.

Sadly, the pass through 1 gbps pass through port from the UAP-AC-Pro was not retained in the U6-Pro, but they are the same size and fit the same mounting ring if you are upgrading from the UAP-AC-Pro. The new access point requires PoE+ instead of basic PoE due to the 13w max power consumption.
