We're looking at replacing some gear soon, which typically lasts for many years, so I'd rather have the newer standards that will be more future proof, even if it's mostly irrelevant for the next 1-2 years. If you need more speed or range consider your options. I’ve been reading about the new WiFi standard, 802.11AX, aka WiFi 6. If you really need the enhanced speed on 2,4Ghz then buy AX. Generally any attempts to future proof the technology are futile.

Don't forget that by sheer massivity of the markets and complexity of the wares (hard and soft), pretty much any gen 1 is beta; gen 2 barely classifies as stable in most cases, gen 3 is the golden release most often. There is still time between now and release for Ubiquiti to amend their filing with 6GHz test results. All the other enterprise vendors have 802.11ax gear available, as well as multi-rate switches with 802.11bt power. Speeds will also be a far third consideration for the ax switch myself. This is an unofficial community-led place to discuss all of Ubiquiti's products, such as the EdgeRouter, UniFi, AirFiber, etc. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Just not Gigabytes speed. So it depends how urgently you need new APs.

And speed on the 2.4ghz spectrum which is great for portable devices. If you don't need more speed or range it would be best to wait. Does current tech X (e.g. 6. I personally don't mess with my mission-critical / infrastructure, it's all proven stable (gen 3+ so to speak). Otherwise you are probably OK with ac wave 2 for the next 3+ years. I’d put a wild stab in the dark of at least 18-24 months before we see anything.

The 802.11AX standard isn’t even out yet, so it will be a while.. Ubiquiti's AmpliFi Alien router promises superfast Wi-Fi 6 to your whole house With support for new 802.11ax features, including 8x8 MU-MIMO connections, this is Ubiquiti's fastest AmpliFi router yet. ax is about increasing speed in congested areas and increasing range for everyone. Bleeding edge stuff is always auxilliary / testing / personal dog food. Close. Having said that, I really wish Ubiquiti would release a product. I wouldn't. FWIW, I'm not factoring in WiFi 6 into my purchasing decision. I was thinking something like that myself. Mount UniFi 6 Lite horizontally in the ceiling to cover a high-density environment, or mount it vertically on the wall to extend its range. Press J to jump to the feed. Was looking into trying that out.

I have my fingers crossed that these devices will support the 6GHz expanded WiFi bands U-NII-4 and U-NII-5. Was the range on that AX80 by Netgear. Its my understanding the benefits of WiFi 6 will be primarily in the backend / aggregation of very large numbers of clients.

Nothing big, it’s only for home use. I am the only one on the DFS channel and no other DFS networks around me. Was wondering if it’s strong enough on range to bypass getting a Mesh network Wi-Fi 6 device.

Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Lite Access Point with Wi-Fi 6 capability added to early access store.

Available as three different Wi-Fi 802.11n models, the UniFi® AP is an Access Point ideal for deployment of high-performance wireless networks. I have the new Netgear AX80 and i love it! Better give it a gen or two to mature and pervade the industry. On May 15th 2020, Ubiquiti added their first Wi-Fi 6 access point to the UniFi line, the U6-Lite-US. Technology platforms for Internet Access, Enterprise, and SmartHome applications. Wi-Fi 6 Access Point with dual-band 2x2 MIMO in a compact design for low-profile mounting. Replace it with something else if and when your needs change.

Heck, with Ubiquiti's software track record, I've been looking for alternatives, I don't trust them to continue Unifi Development. It will likely be 2+ years, if not more, before you see AX ap's. So WiFi 6 seems to deliver a respectable 20-30% increase in bandwidth in the same environment. The router replacement isn’t THAT urgent, but I think I’ll go ahead anyway. There are no rumours as to UniFi WiFi 6 products yet, though I am sure they will come, but then they have to go through Early Access before getting general release. With WiFi 6, in addition to it being a new standard, it's the first time having a new name that consumers will understand. Barely any clients even have AC Wave 2, it'll be many years before you have a handful of AX clients if I had to guess. The Samsung S10 is going to come with 802.11ax, and I bet most other flagship phones in 2019 do as well.

UniFi 6 Lite is a 2x2 Wi-Fi 6 access point that delivers up to 1.5 Gbps aggregate radio rate with 5 GHz (MU-MIMO and OFDMA) and 2.4 GHz (MIMO) radios. The difference is there isn't really a reason for companies to include 802.11ac wave 2, there isn't much marketing ROI behind it since it's the same standard. It’s a replacement for the UAP-AC-Lite, and it’s currently in the early access store for $99.Since then, they also added Wi-Fi 6 replacements for the AC-IW-HD, UAP-AC-LR, BeaconHD, and UAP-AC-Mesh Speeds are getting high enough that it's questionable if your own household network is the limiting factor. I'll probably wait for costs to come down considerably, and even then I'd have to weigh the benefits. Generally, it's a pretty bad idea to wait for the next thing and buy on day 1 because you never really want to be the beta tester for new tech. With WiFi 6, in addition to it being a new standard, it's the first time having a new name that consumers will understand. Also what’s the square footage on your place that your using it in. UniFi Wi-Fi 6 Lite, In-Wall, Long Range, Mesh, and Extender. If you were to buy new gear now, would you be perfectly fine replacing it in a year once your devices are 802.11ax capable? Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. How often do you replace your networking gear? The testing requirements for 5.9GHz and 6GHz WiFi channels is probably still in draft at the time of this writing. Then when the next MacBook comes out maybe later this year, it will also most likely have it. Faster, less expensive, 10x … ... Ubiquiti knows they can ship a trash release or pull support for a new product shortly after launch because their customers are already down the UniFi rabbit hole and switching platforms is burdensome. A Lite is so inexpensive I can think of no defendable reason to wait for AX. No its not worth waiting for because none of your current clients can even use it.

I can't comment about the reliability yet as I haven't used it long enough.
