Spatial Streams (MIMO): 4x4 MU-MIMO on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz; 10 total spatial streams per one distributor listing (not verified against Ubiquiti datasheet)
Aggregate Throughput: 4.8 Gbps (commonly cited; Ubiquiti datasheet not verified)
Max Clients: 600+ concurrent clients (third-party listings)
PoE Requirement: 802.3at PoE+ (approx. 22 W power consumption per listing)
Curation Review
✔ Pros:Tri-band Wi-Fi 6E with dedicated 6 GHz band for less congestion; 2.5GbE uplink exceeds standard 1GbE APs; Strong MU-MIMO support for dense client environments; Supports UniFi Network controller for centralized management, monitoring and configuration; Standard PoE+ (802.3at) power, so no injector needed on most switches; Wall-mountable and ceiling-mountable enterprise form factor
✘ Cons:Requires PoE+ (802.3at) switch port, so it may not work with PoE-only or budget switches; 6 GHz band has limited client device support today; Needs a UniFi Network controller (self-hosted or cloud key) for full management; Aggregate throughput and spatial stream figures vary between third-party listings, so verify against Ubiquiti's official datasheet; Price is higher than consumer or mid-range Wi-Fi 6 access points; Real-world throughput per client is typically well below the aggregate rating

Technical Specifications
Wi-Fi Standard: Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), tri-band
Spatial Streams (MIMO): 6 total; 2x2 MIMO per band (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz)
Uplink Port Speed: 1x 2.5GbE RJ45 (1G/2.5G auto-negotiation)

PoE Requirement: 802.3at PoE+ (44-57V DC input), approx. 21 W typical draw
Curation Review
✔ Pros:Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 with 6 GHz support at a low entry price; 2.5GbE uplink lets it outrun standard gigabit wired backhaul; single-cable PoE+ power simplifies deployment; 300+ client capacity suits small-to-medium offices and homes; wall and ceiling mounts included; 2-year warranty; managed centrally through the UniFi controller ecosystem
✘ Cons:Only 2x2 MIMO per band, so it trails 4x4-class Wi-Fi 7 APs and the U7 Pro Max; no 10GbE uplink for high-throughput environments; requires a UniFi controller (UniFi OS or Network app) for full management; PoE+ budget leaves no headroom for power-hungry add-ons; street prices often sit above the $189 MSRP; no built-in PoE injector, so a PoE+ switch or injector is required
