Using the AX200 client device, the signal was really good especially close to the access point (between 26 to 35dB), but the throughput was 122Mbps at 5 feet and 98.1Mbps at 15 feet (upstream). Since the Ubiquiti U6-LR doesn’t make use of OFDMA on the 2.4GHz, the throughput is nothing impressive, but still usable for IoT devices and some older phones that are still stuck on the 2.4GHz band. Neither is the downstream throughput which ends up staying close to 300Mbps up to 15 feet and then dropping to a barely usable 17.5Mbps at 45 feet (-72dB signal strength). Ubiquiti – U6-LR – Wireless Test – 5GHz – WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 client devices – Downstream Ubiquiti – U6-LR – Signal Strength – 5GHz – WiFi 5 and WiFi 6 client devices – Downstream Upstream, the throughput was close to 400Mbps up until passing 15 feet, going down to 46.7Mbps at 45 feet. Afterwards, I decided to check out how well the Ubiquiti U6-LR performs with a mobile phone, namely the Pixel 2 XL, a WiFi 5 client device. What’s interesting is that downstream, the throughput remained stable up until going past 30 feet. The signal strength was less impressive all around the house and, at 5 feet, I saw an average of 661Mbps upstream (reminds me of the nanoHD performance) and 222Mbps downstream, which is a significant difference. I am sure most of you very interested to see how the Ubiquiti U6-LR handles some WiFi 5 clients, so I connected the laptop with an Intel 8265 adapter to the 5GHz network (80MHz).
