![]() The Ubiquiti U6-LR has a stand-alone mode available, but it’s different than what you get on other wireless access points. Ubiquiti U6-LR vs Zyxel WAX630S vs EnGenius ECW220S vs TP-Link EAP660HD Setup and Software Standalone Mode This means that there were 111Mbps at 5 feet, upstream (92.3Mbps downstream) and 74.1Mbps at 45 feet (17.5Mbps downstream). The Pixel 2 XL performed a bit better, being a bit closer to the AX200 performance. The good news was that even at -72dB (about 70 feet), I could still use the Internet since there were 23.4Mbps up and 27.2Mbps downstream. That’s because it didn’t even get close to 100Mbps regardless of the signal strength or the distance. Moving to the Intel 8265 WiFi adapter, it didn’t really like the Ubiquiti U6-LR. Ubiquiti – U6-LR – Wireless Test – 2.4GHz – WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 client devices – Upstream Ubiquiti – U6-LR – Wireless Test – 5GHz – WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 client devices – Downstreamĭownstream, I saw an average of 84.8Mbps and the throughput remained relatively strong up to 45 feet (55.9Mbps). Using the AX200 client device, the signal was really good especially close to the access point (between 26 to 35dB), but the throughput was 122Mbps at 5 feet and 98.1Mbps at 15 feet (upstream). Since the Ubiquiti U6-LR doesn’t make use of OFDMA on the 2.4GHz, the throughput is nothing impressive, but still usable for IoT devices and some older phones that are still stuck on the 2.4GHz band. Neither is the downstream throughput which ends up staying close to 300Mbps up to 15 feet and then dropping to a barely usable 17.5Mbps at 45 feet (-72dB signal strength). Ubiquiti – U6-LR – Wireless Test – 5GHz – WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 client devices – Downstream Ubiquiti – U6-LR – Signal Strength – 5GHz – WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 client devices – Downstream ![]() Upstream, the throughput was close to 400Mbps up until passing 15 feet, going down to 46.7Mbps at 45 feet. ![]() Afterwards, I decided to check out how well the Ubiquiti U6-LR performs with a mobile phone, namely the Pixel 2 XL, a WiFi 5 client device. What’s interesting is that downstream, the throughput remained stable up until going past 30 feet. The signal strength was less impressive all around the house and, at 5 feet, I saw an average of 661Mbps upstream (reminds me of the nanoHD performance) and 222Mbps downstream, which is a significant difference. I am sure most of you very interested to see how the Ubiquiti U6-LR handles some WiFi 5 clients, so I connected the laptop with an Intel 8265 adapter to the 5GHz network (80MHz).
