UBIQUITI U6-Mesh: Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Access Point

WiFi 6 Mesh (U6 Mesh) is a high-performance, four-stream WiFi 6 access point that enables best-in-class signal meshing to improve residential and enterprise network wireless coverage. With its 5 GHz (4×4 MU-MIMO and OFDMA) and 2.4 GHz (2×2 MIMO) bands, the U6 Mesh can achieve an aggregate throughput rate of up to 5.3 Gbps. This access point also supports full 4×4 MIMO with 160 MHz channels, resulting in high-capacity wireless uplinks and quicker data transfer. Because of its IPX5-rated, waterproof casing, the elegant U6 Mesh can be staged anywhere in your home or office, but it’s also tough enough to operate reliably outdoors
