Aggregate Throughput: 9.32 Gbps aggregate radio rate (688 Mbps 2.4 GHz + 2.88 Gbps 5 GHz + 5.76 Gbps 6 GHz); 6 GHz use subject to regional regulatory approval
Radios (bands): Tri-band: 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz, plus 1 BLE/ZigBee radio (BLE/ZigBee and GPS on board); 24/7 background scanning across all bands
Uplink Port Speed: 1x 5 GbE RJ-45 (100M/1G/2.5G/5G)
Max Clients: Unverified: 24 wireless clients per radio per CDW Canada listing; SHI lists 512 per radio but also lists a 24 SSID limit, so 512 is likely an error. Confirm against Fortinet's FortiAP Series datasheet
Form Factor: Indoor ceiling/T-rail/wall mount; approx. 6.88 x 6.88 x 2.2 in (17.5 x 17.5 x 5.6 cm); approx. 2.22 lb (1.01 kg)
Management: FortiGate, FortiManagement Cloud, or SASE-managed
Curation Review
✔ Pros:Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 with 6 GHz support for lower-congestion, high-capacity coverage; About 9.3 Gbps aggregate radio rate; Single 5 GbE uplink lets it exceed 1 GbE backhaul on standard PoE+ (802.3at) power; Dedicated BLE/ZigBee radio and GPS support beacon and location applications; 24/7 background scanning across all bands for security and RF monitoring while serving clients; Backward compatible with Wi-Fi 6 and older clients; Managed natively from FortiGate, FortiManagement Cloud, or SASE, with limited lifetime warranty and MTBF over 10 years
✘ Cons:Only 2x2 MU-MIMO, which limits per-client throughput compared with 4x4 or 4-stream enterprise Wi-Fi 7 APs; 6 GHz band availability depends on regional regulatory approval; Maximum client capacity is inconsistent across sources (24 vs. 512 per radio), so it is unverified; Internal antennas only, with no external antenna option for custom coverage patterns; Single uplink port, so no secondary wired port for redundancy or bridging; Price varies widely by region and SKU suffix (-A, -N, -S, -E), and the MSRP ranges from about $490 to $654 USD
Max Clients: 250+ (official Ubiquiti tech specs; some retailers list 300+)
PoE Requirement: PoE powered, 44-57V DC input, 13W max consumption; 802.3af/at not specified by Ubiquiti; no PoE injector in the spec listing
Curation Review
✔ Pros:Wi-Fi 6 with 4x4 MU-MIMO on 5 GHz for good multi-client performance; Aggregate throughput up to 5.3 Gbps across both bands; Low 13W power draw compared with higher-end APs; Works with UniFi Network controller for centralized management; Ceiling or wall mounting with included Pro Mount; Compact, low-profile design (about 197 mm diameter, 35 mm height)
✘ Cons:Only a single 1 GbE uplink, which can bottleneck the 5 GHz radio on fast networks; No 2.5 GbE or multi-gig port; PoE standard not clearly specified, so verify your switch or injector supplies enough power; PoE injector is not included with the US model, which adds cost; Client capacity is lower on the official spec (250+) than some retailer marketing claims (300+); Requires a UniFi controller for full feature use
