Ubiquiti UniFi U6-LR Access Point

UniFi U6+ LR Access Point

Extended Range WiFi 6 Connectivity

The UniFi U6+ LR combines expansive coverage with high-performance WiFi 6 technology in a refined ceiling-mount design. With its larger diameter of Ø176 mm and height of 43 mm, this access point is engineered specifically for environments requiring extended wireless reach. Furthermore, the U6+ LR features enhanced antenna systems with superior gain values of 4 dBi on 2.4 GHz and 5.5 dBi on 5 GHz bands, significantly extending coverage compared to standard models.

Advanced Radio Performance

The U6+ LR delivers impressive wireless capabilities through its optimized radio design:

• Maximum transmit power of 23 dBm on 2.4 GHz and 25 dBm on 5 GHz
• 2×2 MIMO configuration on 2.4 GHz band for reliable coverage
• 3×3 (2 spatial streams) MIMO on 5 GHz for enhanced throughput
• Throughput rates reaching 573.5 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 2402 Mbps on 5 GHz

Durable Professional Construction

Built for long-term deployment, the U6+ LR features a hybrid construction approach:

• Polycarbonate top cover for optimal RF performance
• Aluminum bottom cover for improved heat dissipation
• ABS and SGCC steel mounting hardware included
• Total weight of 421 g without mount (496 g with mount)
• Certified for operation in temperatures from -30 to 60°C

Enterprise-Grade Networking Features

Network administrators benefit from comprehensive management capabilities:

• Single Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 port for network connectivity
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) with 44-57V DC operating range
• Support for 8 BSSIDs per radio for network segmentation
• 802.1Q VLAN implementation for traffic management
• Per-user rate limiting for advanced QoS control
• Guest traffic isolation for enhanced security

Efficient Power Management

Despite its extended range capabilities, the U6+ LR maintains reasonable power requirements:

• Maximum power consumption of just 10.5W
• Standard PoE compatibility without requiring PoE+ or proprietary power
• Wide voltage tolerance ranging from 44V to 57V DC

Comprehensive Wireless Standard Support

The U6+ LR maintains compatibility across generations of client devices:

• Support for legacy 802.11a/b/g standards
• Full WiFi 4 (802.11n) compatibility
• WiFi 5 (802.11ac) backward compatibility
• Latest WiFi 6 (802.11ax) technology

Ideal Users for the UniFi U6+ LR

• Large Office Environments – The enhanced 4 dBi gain on 2.4 GHz and 5.5 dBi gain on 5 GHz provides wider coverage, reducing the number of access points needed for complete coverage.
• Warehouses and Manufacturing Facilities – The extended transmission power (25 dBm on 5 GHz) enables connectivity in challenging environments with high ceilings and metal obstructions.
• Educational Institutions – The 300+ concurrent client capacity combined with guest traffic isolation makes the U6+ LR suitable for classroom and lecture hall deployments.
• Retail Spaces – The higher-gain antennas ensure connectivity throughout sales floors, while QoS features prioritize point-of-sale traffic.
• Multi-Level Residential Buildings – The extended range capabilities make this model ideal for providing coverage across multiple floors from centralized mounting locations.
