Model: U6-IW-US
from $179
The Ubiquiti UniFi U6 In-Wall is a dual-band Wi-Fi 6 access point and a 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch, designed for discreet wall-mounted installation. It provides robust Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) connectivity across both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands with 4x4 MU-MIMO support, delivering a total throughput of up to 5373 Mb/s and supporting up to 300 clients. The integrated switch features one PoE-compliant WAN input, one PoE-compliant LAN output, and three non-PoE Gigabit LAN ports, making it ideal for expanding both wireless coverage and wired network access in a single, compact device.
For home use, a simple unmanaged Gigabit switch is all you need to expand your router's ports. Buy a managed switch or a switch with PoE only if you are running security cameras, access points, or complex VLAN setups. Available from $179.
Basic unmanaged network switches use negligible power and have zero maintenance costs. PoE (Power over Ethernet) and large managed switches use more electricity but are still relatively cheap to run.
Common Failure Modes
Switches are solid-state devices with high reliability. When they fail, it is usually due to lightning strikes/power surges blowing individual ports or the internal power supply dying.

Network switches are extremely reliable solid-state devices. They are usually replaced because networking speed standards outgrow them, rather than due to hardware failure.
