The UniFi Access Point WiFi 6 In-Wall - also known as the U6-IW is the successor to the previous WiFi 5 model. In this video, I unbox and adopt the U6-IW, replace my previous model UAP-IW-HD and talk about the differences between these two in-wall access points.

It would be nice if they had a U6-In Wall Lite around the $99 price range . Maybe with only 1 or 2 ports on the bottom.

PoE passthrough is awesome. Don't need the switch nor the "in-wall" design but I guess if we're only going to have one PoE passthrough access point it should be one that has most features ticked...except for the price point.

I've been running the InWall since the first version with the two ports coming out the front. Overall pretty happy however out of the 5 locations in my house I have had 3 fail , both the UAP-AC-IW and UAP-IW-HD. I'm currently trying out 2 Mesh 6. I think I can mount it to a metal single gang block off plate if I want to keep it out of site and cord free.

Great overview. Have you used the UBB bridge? I was wondering if the U6-IW will work on the remote side of the UBB with a Dream Machine on the primary side UBB. I was thinking of powering the U6 with a PoE+ injector and the UBB with port 1. Do you have any experience with this configuration?

Hi Chris, Great video thanks. In New Zealand I reckon it could be ages before we get this product. Would I see any real difference if I got the IW-HD instead, and mixed it with a U6-Pro? I am just looking at home use. Do devices roam between AC and AX APs just as well?

Hola, saludos desde Chile. Soy nuevo como usuario Ubiquiti, compre mi primer equipo UniFi Ubiquiti Switch Networks US-48-500W el cual en la actualidad tengo todo cableado con cables Cat6e como las camaras Poe y computadores, impresoras, tvs, etc, en general todo lo cableado esta funcionando sin problemas con mi equipo existente, aparte ayer decidí comprar un Router modelo reciente de Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Machine modelo con pantalla el cual me deberia llegar a mi Pais de Chile y posterior a mi localidad como en 20 dias más ya que dicho router en mi País no existen a al venta y tuve que importarlo desde EEUU. ¿Mi duda es saber que access point puedo comprar el cual sea wifi 6 y sea alimentado por Poe desde el Router o desde el Switch que compre sin necesidad de ocupar un alimentador electrico Poe adicional y sea energizado por el nuevo router Dream Machine que tiene 2 puertos Poe o por el Switch US-48-500W? y asi poder tener una red Mesh unificada la cual pueda tener bien organizada con una red principal que tenga acceso a la red completa y se puedan ver los equipos y entorno de red completo y una red invitado el cual solo tenga acceso a intenet sin acceso al entorno de red en general. ¿Algun manual o video demostrativo que me puedan compartir por favor?.

Not really. Torx screws don't provide any real security. Everyone who looks up how to remove the IW from its mounting plate can also bring a Torx screwdriver along. You'd bring a screwdriver anyway to get the mounting plate off the wall... And for spur-of-the-moment vandalism/theft: The IW is big enough to provide enough grip to easily yank the mounting screws out of the wall.
