Curation Review

  • ✔ Pros: Wi-Fi 7 tri-band with a 6 GHz radio for low-congestion high-throughput clients; Outdoor IPX6/IP67 rating suits exposed installations; Powered by PoE+ at 21W, so no separate power supply is needed; 2.5 GbE uplink covers multi-gigabit wired backhaul; Supports 300+ concurrent clients and about 465 m² coverage per unit; Managed through UniFi Network with centralized configuration and monitoring
  • ✘ Cons: Only one 1/2.5 GbE uplink port and no second port for daisy-chaining or redundancy; 2x2 per band (6 spatial streams total), so per-client throughput is lower than 4x4 or 8x8 enterprise outdoor APs; 6 GHz operation and AFC are limited to FCC/IC regions, which limits deployment in other countries; 2.4 GHz radio is capped at 688 Mbps, which is slow for legacy clients; Requires a UniFi controller (self-hosted or UniFi OS) for full management features, adding setup overhead; Cable-gland door kit is needed to reach the stated IP67 rating
  • Est. Price: $310 - $346
