The WiFi Industry Standard
The Ubiquiti UniFi U7 Pro is a ceiling-mounted WiFi 7 access point featuring 6 spatial streams and tri-band operation across 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands for interference-free connectivity in high-density, large-scale environments like offices or enterprises. It delivers up to 9.3 Gbps aggregate throughput via a single tri-radio configuration supporting MU-MIMO and OFDMA, handling over 300 concurrent clients with guest traffic isolation and WPA3 security, while powered by PoE+ through a 2.5 GbE port for simplified deployment. Managed via the UniFi Network application, it covers up to 140 m² (1,500 ft²) and includes wall/ceiling mounting kits, with future software updates enabling advanced Multi-Link Operation (MLO) for enhanced performance.
Key Features
WiFi 7 Technology with Tri-Band Operation
The U7 Pro leverages the latest WiFi 7 (802.11be) standard, operating across tri-band frequencies including 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and crucially the 6 GHz band to deliver interference-free connectivity in crowded networks. This enables superior performance with MU-MIMO and OFDMA technologies, supporting low latency and high efficiency for modern applications like 8K streaming and AR/VR.
High Aggregate Throughput of 9.3 Gbps
With up to 9.3 Gbps total throughput across its bands, the U7 Pro provides blazing-fast wireless speeds suitable for high-bandwidth demands in enterprise settings. The single tri-radio configuration allows simultaneous operation on all bands, maximizing data rates and future-proofing networks for WiFi 7 client devices.
Support for Over 300 Concurrent Clients
Designed for demanding environments, the U7 Pro handles more than 300 simultaneous connections with guest traffic isolation to maintain security and performance. This capacity makes it ideal for high-density areas like offices, hotels, or events, ensuring reliable access without congestion.
2.5 GbE PoE+ Connectivity
The access point features a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port supporting PoE+ (802.3at) for power and data over a single cable, simplifying installation and enabling high-speed wired backhaul. This setup reduces cabling complexity while supporting the AP’s power needs up to 30W for robust operation.
Seamless UniFi Network Management
Managed through the UniFi Network application, the U7 Pro offers centralized control, monitoring, and advanced features like WPA3 security and upcoming Multi-Link Operation (MLO) via software updates. This integration allows easy configuration of SSIDs, VLANs, and guest portals, with remote access for efficient network administration.

FAQs
What power source does the U7 Pro require, and what injector should I use?
The U7 Pro requires PoE+ (802.3at) power, with a maximum consumption of 21W, supplied through its 2.5 GbE port via a compatible UniFi PoE+ switch or injector (not included). Using a standard PoE (802.3af) source may cause underpowering issues, leading to reboots or failure to power on. Ubiquiti recommends their PoE+ injectors or switches, and third-party 802.3at-compliant injectors like those from TP-Link are also viable, ensuring the power budget supports the AP’s needs.
Can the U7 Pro be used outdoors?
The U7 Pro is designed for indoor use with an operating temperature range of -30 to 40°C and lacks a robust outdoor rating, making it unsuitable for direct exposure to weather. Its IP54 rating offers limited dust and splash resistance, so it may work in semi-outdoor settings like covered areas, but for full outdoor deployments, models like the U6-Mesh are recommended.
Does the U7 Pro support wireless meshing, and how does it impact performance?
Yes, the U7 Pro supports wireless meshing within UniFi networks, allowing it to extend coverage without Ethernet backhaul in multi-AP setups. However, meshing reduces throughput compared to wired connections due to shared bandwidth; for best performance, use a 2.5 GbE wired uplink and adjust transmit power to medium/low in dense deployments to minimize interference and optimize the 140 m² coverage for 300+ clients.
