Ah, I was looking at the U6 mesh pro.

Since I was looking only for 6Ghz APs, I didn't know about the U6-Mesh. Looks like a flexible design with a pass-through port. If only they made one with 6Ghz. I like not having contention at 6Ghz and don't mind adding APs to have a more complete coverage.

Good point about 320Mhz needing 4 streams. Thanks!

Thanks for the link. Certainly gives one pause on the BQ16. This talks about the BQ16Pro not yet certified for AFC but I haven't found any news about it. With your knowledge of Unifi products--do you know if the U7 Pro Outdoor can run AFC at 320Mhz? This page talks about the peculiarity of...

I edited the OP for clarification. I was talking about the BQ16Pro in the U.S. market. I know Ubiquiti E7, U7 Pro Outdoor, maybe others are advertised to support AFC. I would like to know if the BQ16Pro supports AFC in the US.

I edited my OP, I meant the BQ16Pro in the U.S. market.

I find no conclusive discussion about BQ16 Pro and AFC. For the U.S. market, now that it's been released for some time, is it fully working and providing better 6Ghz range? Thanks.

I agree and understand your points. Yes, APs are purpose designed and Tx power needs to be turned to avoid sticky clients. What I am asking, though, is why are there APs with specs far beyond a typical client. Just because the client can hear the AP because it has powerful transmitters and...

When I look at AP FCC filings and their advertised specs, their transmit power typically range between 22 and 30 dBm. At the same time, the intel BE201's max is between 20 and 23 dBm, depending on frequency. I can imagine that phones and IoTs transmit at even lower power. WiFi is a two-way...

You might be right. Even though I do not live in a high-density area, there is a lot of 2.4 SSIDs in the area.

WiFiMan does not report the client power but the Unifi app does. I recall it being in yellow, around -70-75. The IoT only reports in 3 bars so it's pretty useless. Thank you!

Thanks for replying. Interesting note on Broadcom vs. Qualcomm. I made the measurements using my phone at the camera location. What puzzled me the most was that the upload was passable but the download was a fail. Since the AP is a more powerful transmitter, I thought the result would be the...

Thank you, @Tech9. I have been doing a lot of testing, site surveys, throughput tests both up and down. Comparing to my AX86U-Pro to a U7 Pro Wall and UX7. The most sensitive coverage area is at the front of my home which needs solid 2.4Ghz coverage for the cameras. WifiMan reported that the...

My situation is something between 1 and 2, but two are in fact at each end of the house and one is in the middle. I see that this is where Unifi is better--to be able to adjust power based on proximity. @Tech9, thank you so much for taking the time to explain and the examples. It is much...

I think I understand. The client's transmission power is less than the AP. Ideally, the client and the AP's power are matched and with overlapping coverage. That way, the client and the AP can equally hear each other well? I didn't know that the AX has such low gain antennas. Those plastic...
