There's plenty that are around the $130 level, like Google Nest Wifi. Plus, the U6 Enterprise is only an Access Point, it's not the full router. It only connect your wifi to your Unifi network.
Sure, it's just an AP, it connects wifi to you network. But there's no requirement to use unifi for the rest of your network. Personally I'm happy to trust ubiquiti with my AP, but not with my router.
Right. Always forget about that. 6GHz licensing in Europe is bad / late. So we didn't get to enjoy the 6e fun here :-/
But I can highly recommend to get Wifi 6 on the 2.4 GHz Band, too. I've finally gotten usable 2.4GHz again as that band was stuck on Wifi 4 (Wifi 5 (ac) was a 5Ghz improvement only).
Wifi.org says it's under consideration. But I wouldn't wait for it to happen.
Due to all of that I mostly ignored the 6GHz wifi stuff.... So interesting to hear it's working for you. That's the first time I hear someone from Europe say it's working for them.

At the time I looked I couldn't find a Wifi 6E Access Point significantly cheaper than $279. Have you?

Totolink X5000R. 50-70€. OpenWRT support. Wifi 6e on 2.4 & 5 GHz Bands.
I think this one is only Wifi 6, not 6e (i.e.: the 6 GHz band)

But WiFi 6E is approved in Europe? I'm in Sweden and my U6-Enterprise is perfectly happy broadcasting in the 6GHz bands without any region hacks.
There is a nice world map. Yes, the lower part of the 6GHz spectrum is enbaled. So only parts if it.
No outdoor use unless power is capped massively
Ah, didn't know that. Is there a plan to enable more of it or has the EU already allocated 6 GHz to some other use?
