Probably overkill for most homes as a Wireless Access Point.
Specs can be found here
Note that it does not come with a PoE injector, and you will need to source a 10GbE capable one to make full use of the hardware.
Surcharges: 0% bank deposit, 1.2% VISA & MasterCard, 1.7% American Express, 2.2% PayPal, 3.9% Afterpay.
Sorry,.rechecked, it's just a generic code welcomeback for $10 off.
"We'd be sorry to see you leave empty handed, so if it helps, here's a $10 limited time discount code for orders over $100. To complete your order right now, just click on this link and add the discount code welcomeback at the bottom right of the checkout page."
Also this is almost like their long term regular price so don't feel like you'll miss out
Is this the one with spectrum analysis?
Is the spectrum analysis really worth it? Does it work?
From what I understand, it works best if you're in an area with lots of existing APs, i.e. apartments. That way it dynamically uses the channel with the least interference.
Also supposed to change off of a DFS channel more seamlessly if it detects radar activity.
are you sure?
I have the U6 pros and that’s a feature in my unifi control.
I've got U5 and U6 and it's a feature
IMHO unless you need or can saturate 10Gbe Wi-Fi (most people can't even do 2.5Gbe) then save some coin and go for the U7-Pro which is $60-$70 less and uses less power I believe. I will admit the XG/XGS APs do look nicer though.
I'd go XG / XGS over U7 Pro / U7 Pro Max any day. It seems they fixed the thermal issues of the Pro / Pro Max and removed the fans.
For what it’s worth I’ve never noticed any noise coming from my 7-Pro. I’d prefer passive cooling from a reliability point, but if the fan is spinning, we’re not hearing it.
Agreed, if money is not an issue.
I've had no issues with my U7 Pro since Unifi updated the software. I have never heard the fan on mine and it's connected to a 2.5GbE network.
Same, my U7 Pro no issues also.
U7 Pros had a hardware revision that removed the fans, so a bit of a non-issue.
Any issues with connecting IoT devices?
Yes, I have 2 x U7 Pro XGS and lots of IoT devices. Just create an IoT WIFI network on the 2Ghz range and move your IoT devices there and problem solved. I had a lot of drop outs of IoT devices before doing that, and was regretting swapping over from my old U5 APs, but now it's settled in and I've moved my IoT devices, it's very stable and VERY fast now.
What is your experience in terms of channel width settings and obtainable speed showing on WIFI NIC, please?
We commonly see Intel AX210 NIC on work laptops, e.g. HP, Delll, Lenovo etc.
No matter how we tweak the U7 Pro XGS WAP settings, which we found quite limited, the WiFi client (2x2 radios) still not obtaining expected speed at 2402 Mbps. Yes, it is 6E rated max speed.
We are not even talking about actual throughput here, which is about 1.4 to 1.7 Gbps
Also tried ditching all 2.4 GHz channels for "cleaner" environment.
In contrst, no issue at all with Meraki and Cisco 9100 ranges.
Interesting that we observed non-Enterprise Xiaomi BE7000 almost brainlessly allow WiFi client sync at max 6E speed. We all wireless engineers in office just looked at each other giving bitter smiles.
Very tempted to get the UniFi Express 7 that doubles up as Gateway router if needed but functions as a powered AP with my UXG Fiber. Express 7 would give U7 Pro levels with one extra port (daisy chain) and you don't need to worry much about mounting it anywhere.
Found cheaper - $390 and free delivery at Mwave

You sure you want to buy from there by saving $20?
Ouch, that doesn't look great!
Fair enough, last time I dealt with them was a few years ago
Getting ready for September speed bumps to 2gbps
So… I have bought this some week back thinking that clients on the same access point will not be bottleneck by the backhaul.
After a whole day of testing and furious googling and chatgpt, I'm fairly certain it will be limited by the backhaul, i.e. all traffic gets sent to the switch/router =/
If anyone can correct me, let me know but I simply can't get past my 1gbe backhaul bottleneck right now. The plan was to upgrade the network in stages, with the most commonly used clients all on wifi 7 on the same access point initially. And yes client isolation is not enabled, all devices are on 6ghz wifi 7 protocol, the wifi is broadcasting on 320ghz, the network adaptors for all devices are 6ghz 320ghz 5.8gbps capable. Iperf3 in both directions, across multiple devices, are just shy of 1gbe so that can't be a coincidence.
Yes all traffic gets sent to the switchz that's what the switch does. This is just the equivalent of a cable, it can't direct traffic anywhere
