What reviewers say about the Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro WiFi
Two hands-on testers reviewed this exact model: TechHive (Christopher Null) and Reviewed/USA Today (Rick Broida). Both praise the fingerprint reader, easy installation, multiple entry methods, and built-in Wi-Fi that needs no separate bridge. Both flag the strict 2.4GHz-only Wi-Fi with no dual-band support. They split on Wi-Fi setup reliability: TechHive called the built-in Wi-Fi 'half-baked' after it refused to join a mesh network, while Reviewed's app connected in seconds.

installation time (deadbolt swap): less than 10 minutes
The Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro is outfitted with a fabulous fingerprint reader.
I encountered no trouble getting the lock affixed to my door and running in less than 10 minutes.
Not only can the device not connect to 5GHz networks, your mobile device can't be connected to a 5GHz network during the setup process.
installation time (deadbolt swap): about 20 minutes
The feature is easy to set up, and in my tests, it worked flawlessly.
you may start to wish you'd chosen a lock with better battery life.
While this allows for a more compact design, it slows code entry.
