The AC Lite has 3dbi of gain on both antennas with a max output power of 20dBm on both frequencies, whereas the 6 Lite has 2. Next, I compared the U6-Lite and U6-LR with the AC-HD, UniFi Dream Machine, and the BeaconHD using a 2x2 Wi-Fi 6 client and iPerf TCP tests. It’s capable of covering a large area and also better at picking up the signal of the weaker mobile devices (which have a low transmit power compared to the access points). What I really like about both new access points is that you can still use the old wall/ceiling mount on the new access points. All of the above tests were very close range, and were meant to show an absolute best-case scenario.Beacon frames and other management traffic must be sent by the AP at the lowest supported data rate, to ensure all clients can understand them. The amount of background noise (other Wi-Fi networks, Bluetooth, Microwave ovens, etc) is referred to as the noise floor. The U6-Lite access point utilizes Wi-Fi 6 technology to provide strong and expansive wireless coverage to all enterprise networking environments. I couldn’t get my MacBook Pro to associate to a 40 MHz channel on any of these APs, so I excluded those results from this test.

I ran all of my tests with multiple TCP streams, and occasionally reversed the direction as a point of comparison. We serve and support business partners in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Angola, Malawi, Mozambique, Lesotho, and Swaziland. Perfect for fibre deployments and management for fibre integrators and companies targeting housing developments.The AC-HD and other AC Wave 2 APs are still better for high-density situations and in some scenarios, but when their Wi-Fi 6 replacements arrive those too will become redundant. The Long Range model has higher-gain antennas and higher transmit power, a more powerful processor, double the RAM, double the spatial streams, and requires PoE+. For testing, I’m comparing the U6-Lite and U6-LR with the AC-HD, UniFi Dream Machine, BeaconHD, as well as the Eero 6 and other Wi-Fi 6 mesh kits. Ubiquiti’s solutions offer improved latency, noise immunity, and scalability and support the high data rates and dense modulation delivered by airMAX AC technology.
