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

Technical Specifications
Wi-Fi Standard: Wi-Fi 7 (IEEE 802.11be); backward compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax
Spatial Streams (MIMO): 4x4 MIMO with 4 spatial streams per data radio (4x4:4)
Aggregate Throughput: Up to 28.8 Gbps (reseller/marketing aggregate). Per-band rates: 11,528 Mbps (6 GHz), 5,764 Mbps (5 GHz), 1,376 Mbps (2.4 GHz). Sources do not reconcile these figures
Radios (bands): Three 802.11be data radios (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, 6 GHz, operating simultaneously) plus one dedicated fourth scanning radio for RRM, security and analytics. 320 MHz channels on 6 GHz; 4K QAM
Uplink Port Speed: 2 x Ethernet inputs, both must be in the same VLAN; Mist documentation lists dual 10GbE multigigabit ports. A reseller lists 1 x 5/10GBASE-T. Official datasheet does not state speeds
Max Clients: Not published in the sources reviewed
PoE Requirement: 802.3bt (Class 6) for full functionality; 802.3at is supported with reduced radio functionality. Dual-source PoE gives hitless failover
Curation Review
✔ Pros:Tri-band Wi-Fi 7 with 4x4 MIMO on three data radios; Dedicated fourth scanning radio for RRM, security and analytics; 320 MHz channel support on 6 GHz with 4K QAM; Integrated vBLE antenna array, 802.15.4 radios, GNSS and UWB for location services; Dual multigigabit uplinks with hitless PoE redundancy when fed from two sources; Backward compatible with legacy 802.11 standards; Managed through Juniper Mist cloud
✘ Cons:Maximum client count is not published by Juniper in the sources reviewed; Full functionality requires 802.3bt PoE, and 802.3at forces reduced radio operation; Uplink speed and aggregate throughput figures differ across sources; Reseller prices of roughly $2,200 to $3,600 USD before subscription, which is a high cost per unit; Cloud licensing subscription is typically bundled and required for Mist management; Wi-Fi 7 requires WPA3 or OWE on WLANs in bands where it is enabled
