Uplink Port Speed: 2 x 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G mGig (RJ-45)
Max Clients: 1,200 total
PoE Requirement: 802.3bt (UPOE) for full features; supports 802.3at/af with reduced performance
Curation Review
✔ Pros:Cutting-edge Wi-Fi 7 performance with up to 24 Gbps aggregate throughput; Flexible management options allowing a choice between Cisco Catalyst (on-prem) or Meraki (cloud); Exceptional high-density capacity supporting up to 1,200 clients and 16 spatial streams; Integrated dedicated scanning radio for security and BLE 5.3 for IoT applications
✘ Cons:Significant initial hardware cost and mandatory ongoing subscription licensing (DNA or Meraki); High power demands requiring 802.3bt (UPOE) infrastructure to unlock all capabilities; Bulkier and heavier than typical enterprise access points, requiring sturdy mounting
✔ 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.
