Curation Review
- ✔ Pros: Wi-Fi 7 tri-band with 8 spatial streams, including 4x4 on 5 GHz; 10 GbE uplink lets it run at full speed on 10G-capable switches and avoids a 1 GbE bottleneck; Dedicated spectral scanning radio supports RF monitoring and automatic channel optimization; Rated for 500+ concurrent clients, suited to dense office or venue deployments; Priced at $299 MSRP, below many enterprise-grade Wi-Fi 7 APs with similar radio configurations
- ✘ Cons: Requires a PoE++ capable switch or injector for full operation; a 1 GbE switch port will limit the uplink; 6 GHz band is only enabled in certain countries, so coverage varies by region; Street prices run above the $299 MSRP ($318 to $370 observed), so buyers should compare sellers; Uplink port type is reported inconsistently across sources (RJ45 vs SFP+), so verify before purchase
- Est. Price: $299 - $370
