Ubiquiti UniFi 6 Pro
Score: 83/100Rankings
The Ubiquiti U6-Pro is a ceiling-mounted indoor Wi-Fi 6 access point delivering up to 5.3 Gbps aggregate throughput and supporting over 300 clients. Its single-port uplink, higher power draw and PoE+ requirement can be limiting for some deployments. Best suited for large offices, co-working spaces and high-density environments that need top-tier performance.
The NETGEAR WAX610 is a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 access point delivering up to 1.8 Gbps with four spatial streams and PoE+ connectivity. Its single Ethernet port and 30-user concurrent limit may affect very busy venues. Suitable for indoor SMBs seeking cloud-managed Wi-Fi 6 with mesh capability.
