Ubiquiti UniFi 6 In-Wall (U6-IW) – WiFi 6 Access Point & Switch
The Ubiquiti UniFi 6 In-Wall (U6-IW) is an advanced, dual-band wall-mounted access point engineered to bring high-efficiency WiFi 6 connectivity and a local wired switch directly to standard in-wall electrical boxes. Designed for modern offices, hotel rooms, classrooms, and smart residences, it provides a clean, low-visibility aesthetic while transforming a single ethernet drop into a multi-port connection hub.
Powered by high-efficiency four-stream WiFi 6 technology, the U6-IW delivers an aggregate over-the-air throughput rate of over 5.3 Gbps across its 5 GHz band (4×4 MU-MIMO and OFDMA) and 2.4 GHz band (2×2 MU-MIMO and OFDMA). It features an integrated four-port Gigabit switch, with one port supporting Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) output to power an external device like an IP phone or security camera. Setup and configuration are handled rapidly via Bluetooth through the centralized UniFi Network application platform.
