Technical Specifications

  • Wi-Fi Standard: Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be)
  • Spatial Streams (MIMO): 8 total: 2x2 DL/UL MU-MIMO on 2.4 GHz, 4x4 DL/UL MU-MIMO on 5 GHz, 2x2 DL/UL MU-MIMO on 6 GHz
  • Aggregate Throughput: Approx. 15 Gbps theoretical (derived by summing per-band peak PHY rates: 5.8 Gbps 6 GHz + 8.6 Gbps 5 GHz + 688 Mbps 2.4 GHz; not an official Ubiquiti aggregate figure)
  • Radios (bands): 3 bands: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz (6 GHz usable only in regions where permitted); up to 8 BSSIDs per radio
  • Uplink Port Speed: 1 x 1/2.5 GbE RJ45
  • Max Clients: 500+ (official)
  • PoE Requirement: PoE+ (44-57V DC input, 25W max power consumption); official page does not name 802.3at/bt explicitly and does not state whether a PoE injector is included
  • Coverage Area: 160 m2 (1,750 ft2)
  • Form Factor: Ceiling or wall mount (Pro Mount included), 206 mm diameter x 46 mm, 680 g
  • Price Basis: US list price $279.00 on store.ui.com; the same page also shows $307.00 labeled 'Surcharge incl.' (unexplained), which is used as price_max. Third-party listings vary widely, and one AU reseller listing shows $588 (likely AUD, excluded)

Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 with 6 GHz support for high-density and low-latency environments; 8 spatial streams with 4x4 on 5 GHz for strong capacity; 2.5 GbE uplink above standard gigabit for wired backhaul; 500+ client capacity; dedicated spectral scanning engine for interference detection; PoE+ single-cable deployment at 25W; included mounting hardware for ceiling or wall; competitive US list price of $279 for a tri-band Wi-Fi 7 AP
  • ✘ Cons: Single 2.5 GbE port with no 10 GbE option for high-throughput uplinks; PoE+ (25W) power budget limits use of higher-power features compared with 802.3bt-class APs; 6 GHz availability is restricted to approved countries; uplink and 2.4 GHz are limited compared with 5 GHz and 6 GHz capacity; PoE injector inclusion not stated; third-party pricing and availability vary significantly, and some listings show stock as sold out
  • Est. Price: $279 - $307
