Score: 83/100
MikroTik wAP ax
Score: 87/100Rankings
The MikroTik wAP ax is a rugged, weather-proof Wi-Fi 6 AP offering AX3000 throughput and dual Gigabit ports with PoE-in, designed for indoor/outdoor use. Its 2×2 MIMO and modest antenna gain limit coverage compared to higher-order models, and RouterOS configuration remains complex. Suited for professional installations needing durability and advanced routing.
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.
