Score: 71/100
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 TP-Link EAP225-Outdoor is an outdoor-rated Wi-Fi 5 access point offering mesh support and flexible PoE options. Its limited Wi-Fi 5 throughput and single Ethernet port constrain high-density deployments. Ideal for businesses needing durable, centrally managed outdoor coverage.

Professional reviewers emphasize the EAP650-Outdoor's modern Wi-Fi 6 performance and its enterprise-level Omada SDN management, positioning it as a high-speed, centrally managed solution for outdoor deployments. The lack of independent deep-dive reviews means performance claims rely largely on manufacturer marketing, but the device is presented as a clear upgrade over legacy outdoor APs.
Professional reviewers and editors praise the U6-Pro for its high-performance Wi-Fi 6 architecture, noting the 4x4 MU-MIMO with 160 MHz channel width that yields up to 4.8 Gbps on the 5 GHz band. They highlight its ability to handle more than 300 clients, robust QoS controls, and seamless integration with the UniFi ecosystem, positioning it as a strong choice for enterprise and prosumer deployments.
