If you are looking for a Wifi 6 outdoor access point from UniFi then you will have to wait a bit longer. There is a new mesh access point coming out, the Unifi 6 Mesh, which is currently available in the early access store. At the moment of writing, you can buy almost 20 different access points from Ubiquiti. There are also 3 new models available in the early access store. That is a lot to choose from, so we are going to divide the different models into groups. In the early access store, we can also find the new Unifi 6 Mesh, which has the same design as the FlexHD and is likely going to replace the FlexHD in the near future. Read more about it in the outdoor section. UniFi In-Wall HD – UAP-IW-HD

If you are really looking for an UniFi outdoor ap then the UniFi Mesh and Mesh Pro are really the best options. Also, the FlexHD can be installed safely outdoors. The UAP-AC-M-PRO features simultaneous dual-band coverage via the 802.11ac enabled 3x3 MIMO connection, with speeds of up to 1300 Mbps on the 5GHz band and up to 450 Mbps on 2.4 GHz. You can also place the U6-LR in a semi-outdoor environment because it’s IP54 rated. If your house has multiple floors, or when you can only place one access point, then the U6-LR is a really good choice to mount on the ground floor (and use the lite models for the other levels).Ubiquiti UniFi AC Outdoor Mesh Pro Wifi Access Point (UAP-AC-M-PRO) offers outdoor ranges of up to 183m (600 feet), with its built-in dual-band omni-directional antennas.

The last access points that we are going to take a look at in the UniFi AP comparison are the high density and enterprise models. If you need to cover a large area with a lot of people, like a venue or stadium, then the Wireless BaseStation is the access point that your need. It has an amazing throughput of 5 Gbps and can support up to 1500 concurrent clients.The UniFi HD is designed for high-density environments, like a school or concert venue. The UniFi HD has two ethernet ports, where 1 port can be used to bridge to another access point or as an extra uplink. The antenna design of the HD is different compared to the other UniFi access points. It’s designed to cover a lot of clients in a small area. So the wireless network won’t spread as far as the other access points. Keep that in mind when you are placing the UniFi HD. uap ac m pro, uapac m pro, uap ac mpro, uapac mpro, uapacmpro, uapacm pro, mesh pro, unifi mesh pro, mesh pro ac, mesh pro ap, outdoor access point The UAP-AC-M-PRO features dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, the primary port is for data transfer and the second port is designed for bridging. Offering multiple power options, this enables users to power via an 802.3af PoE compatible switch or 24V passive PoE, options for power from a 802.3af compatible switch are also available. The UAP AC M PRO can also be powered by the included Gigabit PoE adapter.

At the moment of writing the first UniFi access point that supports the new WiFi standard 6E. This means that it has a 6 GHz channel besides the 2.4 and 5ghz channels. The access point only has a single 2.5 Gbps ethernet port. This means that you will need to connect it to a 10Gbit switch to fully benefit the throughput of WiFi 6E mainly is focused on simultaneous clients.Shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling should be used for all outdoor wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded through the AC ground of the PoE. Note I have split the table in two, in the first table you will find all ceiling and wall mounted access points, and in the second the In-Wall and Range Extenders. The Unifi 6 Pro is the next-generation high-performance access point for home and enterprise users. It’s capable of reaching 4.8 Gbps over the air with the 4×4 5Ghz channel, ensuring a reliable and fast wireless network connection in dense environments. Dedicated hardware offload for QoS, Guest Control, and client management ensures high throughput and reduced latency. Unifi SDH – UAP-AC-SHD

The BaseStation only offers a 5Ghz Tri-band radio, so no 2.4Ghz radio. You can choose between Small Cell and Large Cell setup, allowing you to optimize the installation for maximum coverage. Not everybody can mount their access points to the ceiling or wall. That is where the Unifi FlexHD comes in. This small and sleek design allows you to place insight, on a cabinet for example. It’s also possible to buy a ceiling or wall mount for the Flex HD. The first access point that we are going to take a closer look at in this UniFi AP comparison is the UniFi 6 Lite access point is the entry model of the UniFi Access Points. Its compact design allows you to easily mount it and with custom skins, you can make it fit in with the rest of your house. The new Wifi 6 models don’t come with a PoE Injector, so you will need to buy a PoE switch to power the access point, like the US-8-60W.At the moment of writing is the 6 Mesh still in early access. With a similar design as the FlexHD and given the name, I think the Unifi 6 Mesh is going to replace the FlexHD and Unifi Mesh in the near future. But with the release of the Unifi 6 Lite, I think that is about the change. Both have almost the same throughput, only the 5Ghz is a bit faster. But the advantage of the 6 Lite is that it supports WiFi 6 with OFDMA allowing it to handle more clients simultaneously. Ubiquiti offers a couple of UniFi access points that can be used outdoor. I have written a more detailed guide about the outdoor access points that you can find here. To keep all the UniFi ap comparisons in one overview I will also briefly mention them here. There are some models, like the UniFi 6 Long Range, that are semi-outdoor rated (IP54). They can be placed under an eave or porch for example, but they are not true outdoor access points. (You can expose them to rain)
