Ubiquiti U6+ AP
Score: 75/100Rankings
The Ubiquiti U6+ is an indoor Wi-Fi 6 access point delivering up to ~3 Gbps aggregate throughput with a compact cylindrical form factor and PoE power. It offers only 2×2 MIMO and no outdoor rating, limiting maximum performance and placement options. Suited for offices or classrooms needing discreet high-density Wi-Fi.
Google Nest Wifi Point is a mesh satellite that adds up to 1,600 sq ft of Wi-Fi 5 coverage and includes a built-in Google Assistant speaker. It lacks an Ethernet port and is limited to Wi-Fi 5 speeds, which can affect performance in dense networks. Perfect for Google-ecosystem homes seeking simple expansion with voice control.

Professional reviewers commend the Nest Wifi Point for its sleek design, effortless integration with the Google Home ecosystem, and reliable mesh performance that delivers up to 25% better coverage than earlier Google Wifi models. However, they criticize its reliance on Wi-Fi 5, the absence of Ethernet ports on the satellite, and the modest audio quality of the built-in speaker, noting these shortcomings make it feel dated compared to Wi-Fi 6 competitors.
Everyday users consistently praise the point's straightforward app setup and the way it fills dead zones in larger homes, as well as the convenience of having Google Assistant built in. Recurring complaints focus on occasional connectivity hiccups in very crowded device environments, the speaker's limited sound output, and the lack of easy guest-network isolation without additional router configuration.
While direct review quotes are scarce, professional commentary positions the U6+ as a reliable step-up from the U6 Lite, emphasizing its 4-spatial-stream architecture, robust security features and ability to handle 300+ clients in a 140 m² area. Reviewers consider it a cost-effective indoor Wi-Fi 6 solution for SMBs that need UniFi integration without the higher price of the U6 Pro.
No specific user reviews were found in the source data, so consumer sentiment cannot be directly assessed. The specifications suggest users would likely appreciate the coverage and client capacity, but no concrete praise or complaints are recorded.
