Max Clients: 250+ (official Ubiquiti tech specs; some retailers list 300+)
PoE Requirement: PoE powered, 44-57V DC input, 13W max consumption; 802.3af/at not specified by Ubiquiti; no PoE injector in the spec listing
Curation Review
✔ Pros:Wi-Fi 6 with 4x4 MU-MIMO on 5 GHz for good multi-client performance; Aggregate throughput up to 5.3 Gbps across both bands; Low 13W power draw compared with higher-end APs; Works with UniFi Network controller for centralized management; Ceiling or wall mounting with included Pro Mount; Compact, low-profile design (about 197 mm diameter, 35 mm height)
✘ Cons:Only a single 1 GbE uplink, which can bottleneck the 5 GHz radio on fast networks; No 2.5 GbE or multi-gig port; PoE standard not clearly specified, so verify your switch or injector supplies enough power; PoE injector is not included with the US model, which adds cost; Client capacity is lower on the official spec (250+) than some retailer marketing claims (300+); Requires a UniFi controller for full feature use

Curation Review
✔ Pros:IP67/IPX6 weatherproof rating (with included cable-gland door kit) for outdoor deployment; Wide operating range of -30 to 60 C (-22 to 140 F) with 5-95% non-condensing humidity; Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 with a dedicated 6 GHz radio for less congested spectrum; 2.5 GbE uplink lets it outpace standard gigabit backhaul; Runs on PoE+ at 21W max, so it works with common 802.3at switches and injectors; 300+ client capacity and roughly 465 m2 (5,000 ft2) coverage area; Wall and pole mounts included; Managed through UniFi Network controller with a consistent ecosystem of Ubiquiti gear
✘ Cons:Only one uplink port (1x 2.5 GbE), with no 10 GbE option and no pass-through PoE; Each band is 2x2, so per-band throughput is modest compared with 4x4 or 6-stream outdoor peers; 2.4 GHz is capped at 688 Mbps; IP67 rating requires the cable-gland door kit to be fitted; Requires UniFi controller for full feature management, which adds setup overhead for small deployments; No independent lab throughput review found, so the 10.8 Gbps aggregate is a theoretical maximum; Price is high relative to indoor Wi-Fi 7 APs in the same class
