UniFi U6 + (U6-Plus)

The UniFi U6+ (U6-PLUS) is a compact, high-efficiency Wi-Fi 6 access point designed for indoor use in small to medium environments such as offices, homes, or retail spaces. It delivers dual-band performance with 2x2 MU-MIMO on both 2.4 GHz (up to 574 Mbps) and 5 GHz (up to 2402 Mbps), achieving an aggregate theoretical throughput of 3 Gbps. Powered by standard 802.3af PoE, the U6+ features a discreet design and includes mounting hardware for wall or ceiling installation. It supports advanced features like WPA3 encryption, VLANs, guest network isolation, and seamless integration into UniFi’s cloud-managed controller system. With built-in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for easy app-based setup, the U6+ offers a balance of performance, security, and ease of deployment within the UniFi ecosystem.
