About the UniFi 6 In-Wall Access Point
The UniFi 6 In-Wall Access Point (U6-IW) by Ubiquiti delivers enterprise-grade Wi-Fi 6 performance in a discreet form factor designed for seamless ceiling or wall integration. Powered by IEEE 802.3at PoE+ input, this unit operates on a single Gigabit Ethernet uplink port capable of both power delivery and wired backhaul, eliminating mesh latency and ensuring reliable throughput across your deployment. The integrated 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch includes one PoE+ uplink/passthrough port and three dedicated LAN ports, enabling flexible wiring configurations while maintaining strict power budgets—maximum consumption is just 12.5W, making this ideal for retrofit installations and cost-conscious deployments.
Built for network engineers and IT procurement teams requiring high-density Wi-Fi coverage without visible clutter, the U6-IW combines dual-band 2×2 MIMO across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz with aggregate throughput up to 5.3 Gbps. Backward compatibility with 802.11a/b/g/n/ac ensures seamless integration into existing Ubiquiti UniFi environments, while WPA3, WPA2, and WPA2-Enterprise (802.1X) security protocols protect sensitive traffic. Management is centralized through the UniFi Network Application, available on-premises or cloud-hosted. The rugged US single-gang form factor (118.0 × 70.0 × 26.9 mm, 222 g) operates reliably across 0 to 40 °C and up to 95% non-condensing humidity.
