Installing and Mounting the Ubiquiti U6-LR to the Ceiling with Cat6 Ethernet in the Home Lab Office
0In this video we are running ethernet in the attic and into the living room ceiling so we can mount our UniFi 6 Long Range Access Point. This access point should have plenty of WiFi 6 signal strength to cover the entire 2100sq ft home. This is a welcome homelab upgrade, however, I am a bit sad to see the UniFi AC Pro go. Oh well, at least the Mac Mini M1 will benefit from our upgraded WiFi 6 access point.
