Hi Vincent
First of all - yes Ubiquiti Access points are quite good - have been using them for years without issues. They offer great experience with roaming, multiple SSID, scalability etc. BUT They are not something I would classify as easy to setup for a non-tech user. Reson for that is that it requires a central controller - either running on a computer or as software (available for free) or on a dedicated controller device (like the ubiquiti cloud key or the dream machine).
It's nothing that cannot be learned but it requires some effort to understand how to setup the controller. If you are up to that then welcome to the unifi world - once setup you will have an excellent product that just works and requires little to no maintenance. 😉 You may want to watch a few youtube video like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch that describe a bit how everything is setup.
For such a minimal setup as you are describing I recommend adding at least a unifi PoE Switch (like this https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/ubiquiti-usw-lite-8-poe-8-ports-netzwerk-switch-13751323) that can power your unifi access points.
For 3 or more accesses, I would consider using a POE switch from Unifi. However, there is also the U6-Pro or Mesh. As an adapter, I would always take the one supplied or the one that fits the specifications. However, POE is quite dynamic and can also handle higher power levels, because this is negotiated. With a POE switch, however, you can see and control this granularly.
Hangs on my ceiling with 2 Tesa Powerstrips. The part is very light. No problem for the good Tesa.

Almost nothing works without a controller, but you can also host the software yourself if you don't want to buy the additional device.

Due to different suppliers and delivery conditions, there may be price differences compared to other suppliers, especially in an international comparison. The same applies to availability. We always try to design a price in line with the market, but this is not possible for all products.
Hello, no, only normal 48V poe is supported with the u6lite. The passive injector with 24V is not compatible. Greetings Thomas

Hoi - I use two Nano in the cellar at a rather abnormal humidity (in a growth cabinet with 90-99% condensing artificial humidity and about 10-18°c) and one in the garage (current outside temperature and humidity, like in the garden) and so far the parts run like grandma's waffle iron: Stable.
I can't tell you if it's the same with U6Lite, but if the parts are reasonably safe from dripping water, it should work... Hope it helps and hey, probably everyone else would tell you, it doesn't work. are my experiences, since about 12 months... :) LG
Evening,
So the u6lite are fine,
Passive POE 24V from the edge unfortunately does not work, but any 802.3af PoE injectors can be used (48V). E.G.: SKU: U-POE-af-EU;

It depends a little on the power, cat5e and cat6 are recommended for higher powers, but since these categories are now also old and new cables belong to a higher category, all current cables are suitable and only with very old existing installations should you check if necessary which category the cable belongs to and whether you need a high power cable at all (usually not, so this is also not a problem). Only in the case of very old existing installations should you check which category the cable belongs to and whether you need high power at all (usually not, so this is also not a problem). And the max. length (90m) should not be exceeded.

Unfortunately no. Must be purchased separately.

Either a suitable PoE injector or a switch that supplies PoE according to 802.af is required. The suitable POE injector from Ubiquiti for the U6-Lite is the U-POE-af.
Helpful answer
The suitable PoE injector from Ubiquiti is the U-POE-AF, which is available on the net for around CHF 8 per piece (without power cable).

The item is on backorder and as we are still waiting for deliveries ourselves, the estimated delivery date is unfortunately in March.
