Uplink Port Speed: 1x 2.5GbE RJ45 (1G/2.5G auto-negotiation)
Max Clients: 300+ connected devices
PoE Requirement: 802.3at PoE+ (44-57V DC input), approx. 21 W typical draw
Curation Review
✔ Pros:Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 with 6 GHz support at a low entry price; 2.5GbE uplink lets it outrun standard gigabit wired backhaul; single-cable PoE+ power simplifies deployment; 300+ client capacity suits small-to-medium offices and homes; wall and ceiling mounts included; 2-year warranty; managed centrally through the UniFi controller ecosystem
✘ Cons:Only 2x2 MIMO per band, so it trails 4x4-class Wi-Fi 7 APs and the U7 Pro Max; no 10GbE uplink for high-throughput environments; requires a UniFi controller (UniFi OS or Network app) for full management; PoE+ budget leaves no headroom for power-hungry add-ons; street prices often sit above the $189 MSRP; no built-in PoE injector, so a PoE+ switch or injector is required

Curation Review
✔ Pros:Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) with 4x4 radios on 5 and 6 GHz; Dedicated scanning radio for security and RF monitoring; Two PoE-capable Ethernet ports; Built-in BLE and IoT radios; Cloud management through Juniper Mist; Backward compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax
✘ Cons:Max client count not published; Uplink port speed not confirmed by Juniper; Requires 802.3at/bt PoE (29.3 W), so older 802.3af switches cannot power it fully; Indoor-only deployment with a 0 to 40 C operating range; Price varies widely because retailer bundles include multi-year Mist cloud subscriptions; Full cloud features depend on paid subscriptions
