  • Aggregate Throughput: 10.8 Gbps theoretical (6 GHz 5.8 Gbps BW320 + 5 GHz 4.3 Gbps BW240 + 2.4 GHz 688 Mbps BW40)
  • Radios (bands): 3 radios: 2.4 GHz (2x2), 5 GHz (2x2), 6 GHz (2x2); 8 BSSIDs per radio
  • Uplink Port Speed: 1x 2.5 GbE RJ45 (1/2.5 GbE auto-negotiating)
  • Max Clients: 300+
  • PoE Requirement: PoE+ (802.3at), 42.5-57V DC input, 21W max consumption

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
  • Est. Price: $310 - $345
