Ubiquiti UniFi U6-LR
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- My UM-SE also PoE powers two U6-LRs and my U-LTE-Pro, which serves as a fail-over internet connection that has worked flawlessly numerous times.
- Faulty U6-LR to XGS, same thought. Much more stable, much faster. Well worth the upgrade.
Cons
- I got same with u6-lr, the difference I found was the power consumption. More efficient on u6-lr v2
- Early U6-LRs had it until COVID hit.
- this is the largest number of APs i’ve seen come in. (there were easily another 30-40 in the other boxes, U6-LR, U6-MESH, a few U7-PRO and some UAP-HD.
- Why hasn't unifi just recalled the U6-LR? The things are ticking time bombs.
- I picked up the U6-LR and at first it was great but it got worse and worse over time. I finally had enough and started changing things on my network... the range on the LR was not impressive.

Just had several U6 LRs replaced, They replaced them with U6 LRs which is fine you shouldn’t get an upgrade unless they didn’t have stock.
Before it fully died, it started having random disconnection issues between the console and the AP.
About a month ago, my U6-LR randomly died on me, so I decided to RMA the unit—turns out it was part of a bad batch.
