Ships from Amazon Germany or you can select Australian stock and pay $329. I don't believe there is a difference between German and Australian models.
Not the cheapest it's been, but the cheapest it's been in 2025.so far as I can recall.
CamelCamelCamel.
I was researching these to discover they actually have a cooling fan, which kind of put me off getting one TBH. I've got a U6+ which gets quite warm as is.
I can hear my fans running.
but having said that youve noticed the u6+ gets hot, you should be a pioneer for adding the fans in
They revised the u7 pro at some point to not use a fan, so depends on how old this stock is
U7-Pro has had a hardware revision, new SKU had the fan deleted
the talks about reduce power or inaccessible channels are dependent on the country,
the Unifi controller will respect local available frequency:

E.g. channel 120 not available in AU
(U7-Pro owner)
not sure if it applies to Ubiquiti models or not, but I've heard that wifi products from the EU have a reduces power output to satisfy local regulations.
I say "not sure about ubiquiti", because they've generally shipped the same hardware out and limited features based on region (such as available bands etc)
The UniFi Controller prompts you to set a country during setup, and that directly affects what transmit powers and channels are allowed via the hardware. So I would assume, the same hardare globally and then the controller adjusts as required for local regulations.
It's actually the opposite. There are no EU models, there are 'US' and 'World' models, and its the US models you wish to avoid.
This means you get the worst of both worlds if you use a US model set to Australia — as per the US restrictions, you lose channels 12-13 and get very low power on the 5GHz DFS channels, plus the reduced power on other channels dictated by the AU setting.
[Disclaimer: This was true of older models, don't know about the U7 specifically, my U6s and U7 Pro XG are AU stock.]
tldr: EU imports fine, US bad.
Damn, I just bought the U7 Lite yesterday to fix a black spot in the house.
Would prefer the pro given the number of devices we have in our house.
You have 200 devices in your house?
To add to that, over 200 devices that also need to connect to the one AP in this black spot?
In the back of the house is the kitchen and back lounge room, whilst we're in the kitchen frequently it's annoying, and the back lounge room TV/Apple TV cuts out from time to time.
When all the kids (6) are home, I'm close to 120 devices at the moment. From TVs, Washing Machine, Photo Frames, Robotic Vacuums, iPads, Laptops, Desktops, iPhones, Cameras, Lights, Google Homes, Xboxes, Playstations, Raspberry Pi, Watches, and more - it all adds up and continues to grow.
120 devices makes sense for that total. I’ve got 55 devices myself, and my kids are only 2 and 5. But those are spread across 5 access points.
If you haven’t already, it might be worth splitting your WiFi into separate SSIDs for 2.4GHz and 5GHz. That way, devices can connect to the most suitable band, helping to balance load, traffic, and interference across the network.
@geekcohen: Also helps creating a SSID for a dedicated 2.4ghz band for some devices. Like when setting up some of my old wifi lights /switches I kept getting errors about not working with 5ghz, even tho the SSID offered both 2.4 and 5.

Thats exactly what I said.

Exactly, I always split networks for customers due to this exact issue. The auto band switching can sometimes cause issues for devices that specifically require 2.4GHZ. Also, some devices might be 5GHZ compatible but connected to the 2.4GHZ network.
Then, buy this and sell your U7 Lite.
I'll plug it in and see how I go …
U7 lite uses less power and runs cooler (though I only have U7 Pro In Wall, rather than U7 Pro). Also, the main benefit of U7 Pro is that 6GHz support, but the range of that is really short. It is really only usable when you are in the same room as that U7 Pro access point (given that for 6GHz band, you want to get close to 2Gbps WiFi). Furthermore, ideally, we all prefer > 2.5Gbps WiFi for that 6GHz… and that actually means U7 Pro XG (which has 10Gbps uplink).
Wish I waited for the Amazon U7 lite deal. I bought mine for $190.
I don't believe there is such an Australian model considering ubiquity doesn't believe Australia is a real country
