Uplink Port Speed: 1x 100M/1G/2.5G Multigigabit (mGig)
Max Clients: 400 total (200 per radio)
PoE Requirement: 802.3at (PoE+) for full functionality
Curation Review
✔ Pros:Dedicated Cisco RF ASIC for advanced spectrum analysis and security; Flexible Radio Assignment (FRA) allows dual 5 GHz operation; Integrated 2.5 Gbps Multigigabit uplink prevents wired bottlenecks
✘ Cons:High hardware cost and mandatory Cisco DNA subscription licensing; Requires PoE+ (802.3at) to operate all features at full performance; Significant configuration complexity compared to consumer or prosumer alternatives
✔ Pros:Industry-leading WiFi 7 performance, dedicated spectral scanning engine for real-time interference analysis, high density support for 500+ clients, and seamless integration into the UniFi ecosystem.
✘ Cons:Requires PoE+ (802.3at) power source, 2.5 GbE uplink may bottleneck the 15 Gbps theoretical aggregate wireless throughput, and requires a UniFi Console or Network Server for configuration.
