Curation Review
- ✔ Pros: Wi-Fi 6 with 4x4 MU-MIMO on 5 GHz for good multi-client performance; Aggregate throughput of about 5.3 Gbps; Managed through the UniFi controller with central configuration and monitoring; Single-cable PoE+ deployment; Lower price than many enterprise-grade Wi-Fi 6 access points (about $159-$230 USD); Low-profile ceiling-mount design suited to indoor offices
- ✘ Cons: No 6 GHz radio, so no Wi-Fi 6E capacity; Single 1GbE uplink limits wired backhaul for high-throughput traffic; 2.4 GHz radio is only 2x2 with uplink MU-MIMO; Full feature set requires a UniFi controller (Cloud Key, UniFi OS console, or self-hosted); Client capacity is lower than some enterprise competitors, and sources disagree on whether it is 250+ or 300+; Spec-sheet and reseller figures differ, so verify with Ubiquiti before relying on them
- Est. Price: $159 - $230
