Not having 4x4 on the U7 Pro is a mistake on Ubiquiti's part. They should have called it the U7 Lite.
Given that most WiFi client devices are 2x2 max, why do you say that ?
@@j340_official doesn't 4x4 allow two 2x2 devices to communicate at full speed simultaneously? If you only have one device active at a time sure, there's no benefit, but when you have a lot of devices my understanding is 4x4 is better.
Exactly!@@rpungello
Gotta keep things for the enterprise i guess
It's going to be at least another year, perhaps even two, before Ubiquiti upgrades the entire AP product range again. At that point, they'll probably also release a new Enterprise version, whereas the U7 Lite will most likely indeed have pretty similar specs but in a smaller package (I wouldn't be surprised if they kept the true and tried shell of the Nano/U6 Lite).
For future videos would be useful if you also had a wifi 6E device in the mix, whether it be a iPhone 15 pro or another device. This video doesn’t answer the question on if Wi-Fi 7 client is needed on Unifi and how much the improvement is. This is especially significant as Unifi skipped wifi 6E in this product line.
His results were nearly identical to my ubiquiti Enterprise 6E access port tests. I also think it would have been interesting if he tested them both in his environment. Might make it even less worthwhile for people with ubiquitis 6e products.
@@mainelyhobbiesExactly. I understand what he was going for here, but this really should have been a Wi-Fi U6 Enterprise vs 7 Pro. Overall, because Unifi omitted 4X4 on 6 & 5 Ghz that the Enterprise is the better way to go overall, but it would have been nice to see the comparison.
The U7 Pro is backwards compatible with Wi-Fi 6E on the 6GHz band.
Directly from the U7 FAQ: U7 Pro is fully backwards compatible with WiFi 6E and earlier client devices. A WiFi 6E or WiFi 7 client device is required to utilize the 6 GHz band.
Why did the pixel not connect on 6ghz? My pixel 7 pro does on the 6 enterprise and gets great speeds
I heard it is region locked in some locations.
What do the 5GHz speeds look like on the pixel 8 for the U7 Pro? Thats what I'm curious about. My U6 Pro is only limited to the gig ethernet port. Was hoping to be able to get faster results by switching to the U7 Pro. Other AP's that have 2.5G I've tested I've been able to get near 1.8Gbps over regular 5GHz WiFi 6.
2x2 radios across the board make this a little dissapointing.
Agree, I’d much rather have the new Engenius WiFi 7 access point.
Given that most WiFi client devices are 2x2 max (many iot devices are 1x1) why is it disappointing?
Yeah I will wait for the u7 enterprise and see if it has a 10gig uplink or what will be required. Since this came out so early, relatively, I wonder if we will see the u7 enterprise sooner than later? Edit. I did not wait lol. I am returning the u6 E I just received for the u7 pro
@@j340_official the more antenna element the better. MU-MIMO & beamforming, it is one of the reasons why 5G is faster than 4G is faster than 3G.
4x4 will be marketed as Enterprise and cost $300. UniFi is aiming to profit on their popularity.
I'd like to see some comparisons of 6E vs 7.
Indeed - many of my devices support 6E - the 7 would just be for future proofing
Thanks for sharing this. Interested in seeing U7 Pro vs U6 Enterprise
At 6:45 the iPhone 13 Pro max only supports Wi-Fi 6 (not 6E).
The iPhone 14 Pro Max only supports Wi-Fi 6 (not 6E).
The iPhone 15 Pro Max supports Wi-Fi 6E.
The iPhone 16 Pro series will support Wi-Fi 7.
how do you know 16 pro will support wifi 7? Apple is very slow to move.
I bet all of the new Apple hardware this year will only support wifi 6e. Wifi 7 support wont come before 2025.
I know it is a lot to ask and complicates testing but it would have been interesting to compare it to the U6 Enterprise as well. I know you mentioned it but where the U6 Enterprise has wifi 6E how much of a difference are we looking at wifi 7.
More important question, is the U6 Enterprise worth $100 more than the U7 Pro.
@@red5standingby419 Well that is part of the reason I would want the comparison. Is the U6 enterprise a dead product now or are there scenarios, probably due to its additional antennas, where you would still want to get the U6 Enterprise?
Would like to see tests with a Wifi 6e client as well, there are very few Wifi 7 clients at the moment but quite a lot more Wifi 6e ones, so that would be relevant for someone upgrading from a Wifi 6 or 5 setup who has 6e devices,
WiFi 7 should be backward compatible with WiFi 6E so you should be fine. Yeah the benchmarks would be nice. I have a new iPhone + wifi6E u6 enterprise and max out my 1Gb internet connection during tests 😎
from the U7 Pro FAQ on the UI store: "A WiFi 6E or WiFi 7 client device is required to utilize the 6 GHz band."
It will be close to pixel 8 speeds here. Agreed he should have just used something like iphone 15 pro.
Chris, what power strip is on your desk with the red usb cable plugged in?
For future videos when you are using bar graphs next to each other make sure they are on the sale scale, as this at a quick glace makes them look similar when there is a big difference at timestamp 8:51
NIC video. If I am depending on my phone for “ultra-fast” WiFi, I am in big trouble. Get if you really have a high density situation.
Thanks for your work
Great video, and I'll watch even more with the telecom pronunciation of MIMO 🙂
I'm really hoping that you get your hands on (or already have your hands on) a Cloud Gateway Ultra.
If I am upgrading from the nano HD, what access point would you recommend?
Wifi 6's party trick was latency/efficiency
6e's new/larger spectrum
7's is dual band simultaneous connection for a client
... testing them all just in straight peak bandwidth is missing the point of each generation. Id be tempted to get the U7Pro for an AP where coverage/stability is the driver but a U7Ent is the upgrade I'm probably going to get excited about.
bingo.
He didn't try it because that feature is a, "some point down the road in a firmware update" type of feature. Go look at the real fine print on the product page, lol.
What was the physical setup with he test? Phone direct next to access point? Or more realistic with a wall in between…
The iPhone 13 Pro Max only supports up to 80Mhz channel width on 5GHz/AX. The Unifi AP will change for client compatibility, regardless the of width you chose.
and its a 2 yo modem.....shhhh he doesnt need to understand specs....
Very poor testing and methodology. It's a bit funny that a "networking" channel isn't even using iperf.
This is a useless review.
It’s a comparison on the same “name” u6 pro to u7 pro.
The comparison i would expect to see would be u6 enterprise vs u7 pro to see exactly wifi7 would perform versus wifi 6E on the 6ghz band.
And as said, not having iperf tests just make these reviews a waste of time.
@@ManuelRodriguez27iPerf gives wildly different results to other speed tests in my experience. Haven't looked into why however
@@unicodefox for WiFi clients, I usually have to add on additional streams or change the window size
2x2 MIMO on the 5GHz? That's Ubiquiti for you, two steps forward one step back and a higher price tag to boot!
well, so far with the U7 Pro, its more 1 step forward, 2 steps back.
$189 isn't bad compared to some of the other like devices I've seen so far...
@@AynonZ The only devices that need comparing against the U7 Pro are the U6 Lite and U6 Pro. They put the U7 Pro to shame in one way or another for their respective price points and/or feature sets. They are the most direct comparisons there are.
Good video. There are always more things that would have been interesting to see when it comes to AP testing. One small detail that I personally think makes a big difference is to make sure you have the same scale on the y-axis when you compare the speeds of the Pixel 8 and the iPhone 13 (I think the graph for Pixel 8 went from 0 to 1000 and for the iPhone it was 0 to 750 or something like that). That would have made it much easier to actually clearly see the speed difference between the two.
Great video! Bringing the comparison with the U6 Enterprise would be awesome !
Hope to see a test using iPerf with many devices including iPhone and the new intel Be200
everyone seems to miss the fact that it HAS A FAN INSIDE
Was disappointed he didn't cover this. My AP is right outside my bedroom and I don't want to add any extraneous noise to the area.
Not sure if anyone else pointed this out however there is no Bluetooth Management. I don't think this is a big deal for most however, in my SoHo I use Protect All-In-One Sensors to track doors opening and closing which require bluetooth connectivity. I find it odd that Ubiquiti did not add bluetooth to the U7 Pro as they previously added it to both the U6 Pro and U6 Lite (not U6+). I wonder if this had something to do with keeping cost down or maybe they felt it didn't add any value.
Thank you for your informative video. I just purchased a U7 pro and would like to know if the Unifi POE+ injector will limit the througput to 1gpbs or if it will support the full bandwidth of the U7 pro. Ubiquiti is ambiguous about the speed and throughput supported by the injector and I can't seem to find any definitive answer on the Unifi forums. Thanks!
5:00 small typo on the channel widths for the U6-Pro
was about time for the 2.5g port but 2x2 is really disappointing, especially considering it costs $30 more than the U6 Pro
C9nsiding the cost of the u6 enterprise with 4x4 and 2.5gb they should have been able to slot in 2.5gb into a u6 pro or u6e pro ap. The u7 is cheaper still than the enterprise and that has better specs in my mind.
2.5 is stupid. Im realy disapointed. Isnit that they dont have 5Gbps poe switches?
It's so dumb to advertise 5 gigabit speeds and put a 2.5gigabit port on it. It's dating itself already. Of all things to throttle your device... You don't throttle the backbone.
I guess I'm the only one here that can saturate my 1gb connection when my backbone is 10gb. 1gb is to slow when you have multiple wifi clients transferring data back and forth off a storage server or working directly off of servers. 2.5 is great by yes 5gb and 10gb would be better but infrastructure cost is to high for cat6a/cat6e or 7. 2.5gb is the sweet spot of antenna capability and wired speed.
@@fuoman100 it's a premium device at $180, just thinking they would design it without such a glaring flaw for something that people usually put in place for 5 or so years. How much more could a 5gb port cost?
Where can I get the desk stand shown next to the keyboard at the 2:51 minute mark in the video?
Agreed, I would love to know where you got the stands for the access points.
I just became a Ubiquiti user a month ago and bought my first Dream Machine Pro SE. Along with the DMSE I also got a U6 Pro and I'm very pleased with it. To be honest, I wouldn't even know the different between wifi 6 or 7. I test my mobile speeds daily. I average between 920 and 980 mps download and around 24 to 27 mps upload.
Good timing, seems that WiFi 7 certification of devices was announced this morning too! I haven’t found if that means the standard has been ratified or not though. 🤔
any devices using Wifi 7 at this point in time will remain "Draft" for the remainder of the devices life.
Absolutely agree. Up your network only there where you may need it when the time comes. My crappy old phone isnt going to get any better with a new network..
What is the idle power use of this AP?
This would be more useful if you compared it to the U6-Enterprise since those are similarly spec’d items.
??? The U6E is like $100 more. That's not comparable at all.
@@forestman111, That may be the case for some folks (not arguing your statement), however since @crosstalksolutions (Chris) speaks to things other than cost, I believe my comment/ask is justified. Comparing different generations of devices that have similarities/differences based on things other than expense would be more appropriate than comparisons based on cost.
Cost is almost always a difference between devices of different generations and so I suspect that's why it was not really mentioned in the video. Further, comparing the device features (whether subjectively an upgrade or a downgrade) helps the consumer figure out if the cost difference is indeed justified (for them) or not. Something being a higher cost does not mean it's a better product (or worse).
@@forestman111o think this u7 is basically the same project of u6e but cost optimized and with one or other 'enhancement' for wifi7. They are walking at the same steps of old apple with every year new versions.
@@cassinovashalo Disagree. Cost is the primary comparison 99% of consumers are going to look at first. Even if the 6E outperforms the 7 Pro because of the better mimo configuration you then have to decide if the amount of performance difference justifies paying 33% more for the faster product with the older spec.
Have you found that the range on the 5+ gb wifi speeds have a reduced range compared to 2.4gb if the router behind a wall or two?
1 thing that should of been added to the U7-Pro is either a 5 or 10 GbE uplink, but 4x4 mimo or 6x6 or even 8x8 would of been a nice upgrade
3x 2x2. Probably limited by formfactor
What about Bluetooth LE ? Why is Bluetooth supposedly left out of this AP?
Looking forward to Ubiquiti's lineup of WiFi7 NanoStations! Hope they come with 2.5 GbE ports and standard PoE+ too. I'm fine with my NanoStation LocoAC for now.
Great info
New subscriber, love your videos.
I am building a new home network and I am looking at getting (5) U7 pro devices. I am also looking at getting the USW 24 POE switch however with the max watts at 95watts am I going to be able to power the devices or do I need to jump to the USW 48 POE with 195 poe watts since each U7 Pro has aax watts of 21 watts. Thank you so much.
Can we get some comparisons to other vendors? Omada, Aruba instant on?
Will be really nice for some home NAS backup stuff. Unfortunately I'll probably be on my Macbook M1 Max for another 4-5 years haha
what version wifi do most phones use? Samsung, iPhones, etc.
Please test Wi-Fi 5 3x3 devices as MIMO has been kneecapped at 2x2. How does that impact performance of 3x3 devices?
It would be great if you included the firmware versions that you had installed on each device during your testing.
I got a raid10 Nas with a 10G nic for 4K video editing directly from the nas. When you think wifi will reach 10G speeds..?
My use case for wifi7 would be to transfer files more quickly to my home lab / NAS, though this would only be particularly useful on the laptop that I work on, and for one time transfers of large amounts of data. Otherwise, I agree that even wifi 5 is perfectly adequate for most day-to-day use. I’m still rocking my AC-Pros, with one WiFi 6 access point in my office space.
Same situation, the dearest improvement we need is range performance… at distance and behind 1 wall at least). Sadly those limited by transmit power. In older installation it will be much cost to add lan points and a AP
@@cheerlin pumping power to add range is generally a bad idea with wifi. Yes, it's a higher capex to install more APs (especially for the typical residential family)... But we're "already there" with all these mesh home router solutions on the market that ARE effectively that, just with a backbone that competes for airtime with end user devices.
Would it work well if I had two AP's one wifi 7 and one wifi 6 and set wifi 6 to 2.4 only and the wifi 7 to 5 and 6 only. Letting the few things not hard wired that are 2.4 only to connect to the one and everything else to the other? Thanks.
With my laptop with the intel BE card, i get 1900 megabit speed tests through it. about 1400 with a 6e device. works great
Thanks for the update. I will stay with my U6 pros and the U6 enterprise APs.
Over all wifi7 will have main benefits only in case of efficiency which I can’t achieve in a home network.
Good video. The main question I have for you is can WiFi 6E devices like the iPhone 15 pro max etc connect to the 6 GHz band of the new u7 pro radio ? Or are they banished to 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz
Yes they will connect to 6ghz (WiFi 6E) as it is backwards compatible
@@DavidTrejo from the U7 Pro FAQ on the UI store: "A WiFi 6E or WiFi 7 client device is required to utilize the 6 GHz band." I figured a 6E device would operate in the 6 GHz band of this new radio, but I've been around technology long enough to not assume anything in terms of interoperability (and I'm talking about thunderbolt interoperability, or lack thereof). So this is good.
@@j340_official Yep per the docs, It’ll work fine. As long as you understand the range limitations of 6ghz vs 5ghz (or even 2.5ghz) it should work fine.
Can you test 10GbE NAS to a laptop with new Intel BE200 WiFi module?
we need to see a 4x4 antenna wifi 7 access point.
WiFi 7 interop/certification is available today 1/8
What does real world number look like? I would like to see a comparison with older and newer, 2.4 and 5ghz devices on the system and some idle clients as well. It may not affect the 6 GHz results too much unless the mixed use becomes taxing on the AP. Also not looking forward to a world of three dedicated SSIDs for each band, as I am sure band steering, which already does not have a good reputation will perform flawlessly across three bands and super wide channels in a multiple access point install.
can you use this as a repeater?
One point about ratifying, when that happens it usually takes only a software update to get the finalized version. The hardware would be locked in long before then.
In the mean time, I'll just stick with my WiFi 5 UniFi AC-Lite. It's more than adequate for my needs.
Will I be able to achieve the same results of speed on my Android phone and on my MSI laptop?
They finalized/certified the WiFi7 today, we 've already read articles.
Last I heard, it was no longer 'draft' status and was just waiting on ginal sign-off, which will happen later in 2024.
@@CrosstalkSolutions Today though?
The 802.11be / WiFi-7 standard was approved stable. The predicted certification is October 2024.
Very similar to my 6e ubiquiti accespoint for speed tests. Makes no sense for me to upgrade. That's a lot of power usage for a 2x2 access point if you planned on peppering those around your house.
Literally ordered a U6 Enterprise 2 days ago and it came today. Oh well now I need to go out and buy this! :D
I just bought the U6 Pro in order to switch from Mikrotik gear. I'm going to return the U6 stuff for the U7.
@@FlexibleToast I can't get the U7 Pro in the UK yet just says 'Coming Soon'. Going to keep an eye on it!
Do these things support the Bluetooth products such as the UP-Sense?
Very good question, sir. Should be part of any AP review I guess.
BLE is not on the U7 Pro.
@@curtminerdthanks for the info, albeit disappointing
Would be awesome to see a comparison with the U6-Enterprise / WiFi 6E.
I wanted the same initially, recently got a 6E, it seems to be the better choice still.
U7 is only 2x2 MIMO on 5 and 6Ghz. It's going to be several years before most of my devices are WiFi 7 compatible, I still have most on 5Ghz, so 4x4 MIMO provides more benefit here.
No doubt there'll be a U7 Enterprise eventually - that'll be worth the upgrade likely.
I love my u6 enterprise, sadly this wasn’t enough for me to make a jump.
@@s__c__o U6E is better for the 5 & 6Ghz. I will get the U7 Pro as I need an AP soon, and for now the main interest is the 2.4Ghz band which is a touch faster on the U7 Pro. Later down the road a U7 Enterprise will follow. I'm a futerproofer, what can I say? 😒
Considdering that that iPhone doesn't even support 160 it did great.
Also - 2x2 only is not a Pro feature.
I love how your phone is next to the ap when doing the tests. Ofcourse it will be super fast.
I just upgraded to WiFi6 and the AP will be here in two days. Should I cancel it?
Always great, real-world content. Thank you!
1:10 Can you come to the DC Metro region?
UXG Light with Wi-Fi 7 does it max out 1 gig connection?
is there a plan for 7 lite????
I upgraded to the Unifi 6 Enterprise for the 6E capability. All my phones in my house and laptops all are 6E compatable... So I got a good bump on it and already run the Unifi Enterprise switch 8 running the back haul to my AP's, so 2.5Gbps links and then I have two 10Gbps fiber aggragated to 20Gbps with my backbone on my rack and switches is a 20Gbps backbone and the servers run 40Gbps links (4 - 10Gbps DAC aggragated). I'd like to upgrade to 7... but I'll wait for the LR version... I have 3800Sqft house and two 6LR and 6Enterprises bearly cover me, so realisticly I need a third one, but when I build my house, I only ran for 2 AP's in specific spots.
How was the coverage/range walking around your building? I like the Wifi 6e and 2.5Gb link, and am on the fence between the U7-Pro and the U6-Enterprise.
U6 Enterprise all the way!!!!
I want to get this but will wait for the U7 Enterprise
RE: buying WiFi gear before standards are finalized, I still have some "Wave 1" 802.11ac gear somewhere
Looking to add Unifi Bluetooth equipped AP to my setup (AP-Pro) might get one of these as part of my upgrades
This U7 doesn’t have BLE equipped
@@JustRisible thx
If it’s got a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port, what does it do with the extra speed over wifi?
Hi, can you help me? I have 2 U7-Pro, but they randomly get "turned off".
hmm 2,5gbit ethernet for the U7-Pro, so it makes the dreammachine SE useless since the POE(+) ports are only 1gbit if I recall right?
would like to see tests with intel wifi 7 be200
It seems like I just adopted WiFi 6 yesterday, although it's been about 3 years. Never even considered 6E because I've got say few devices that support it. I'm guessing that WiFi 7 will take several years to get to the point where upgrading makes sense. WiFi 6 is still very relevant.
Good video. Thanks. Your AP testing should use client devices that are capable of higher throughput. While phone performance test is useful, it does not deliver a true comparison of what the AP can achieve. Alternatively use laptops and desktops from PC and Mac
My HP with WiFi 6 can consistently hit 1Gb on a U6 Lite
Have to agree with others about 2x2 being used on all bands. This really doesn't feel like a pro product.
I think a better analogy than wifi being a pipe is it being a river of time with vessels being carried along down it.
The 2.4GHz band is an 80ft wide river, so you can fit 4x 20ft wide rafts into the water, 2x 40ft boats or 1x 80ft ship. The width of the vessel is independent of how tall you stack it with packets (mimo) or how long it is (how long you transmit for). If there's already an 80ft ship in the water, no-one else is launching any other vessel until the ship has passed by, and if two vessels are launched at the same time, both may end up sinking and both may have to try again later.
The 5GHz band is much bigger, but more complex. The 620ft wide river is split into two channels with some dangerous reefs under the water. 14x 40ft boats might be able to fit if they are designed correctly, but only 6x can be normal (outside) boats, the rest have to be special in some way (low power, inside only, or both). Similarly only 7x 80ft wide ships will fit, and only two of those can be normal ships, while if we go to 160 ft container ships, only 3 of those can fit, and all of them have to be special.
Finally, the 6GHz band is a whopping 1120ft wide river, but it has a similar set of dangerous reefs which need special attention. You can potentially fit 29x 40ft boats, 14x 80ft ships, 7x 160ft container ships or 3x 320ft super-container ships, two of which have to be special, but again each 320ft super-containers stops 8x 40ft boats from setting sail.
No
On one hand Ubiquiti releases a product that’s ahead of the curve before the standards are ratified & on the other hand they release a long overdue upgrade to the USG with the UXG-Lite that is only just good enough with little headroom for the future
Wi-Fi Alliance just announced Wi-Fi 7 certification is starting now so it isn't as big of a leap as devices released last year, everything is locked down now in the spec.
The WiFi 7 standard was announced as finalized today by the WiFi Alliance during CES.
@@MrFoof82 good timing then!
What strikes me as odd is that these were clearly manufactured before the specs were ratified... So if there's any differences made towards the end of the ratification process... Then are these not fully compliant?
Being limited to 2.5gbps when they brag about almost 10gbps wifi isn’t ahead of the curve. It’s still 2.5gbps wifi.
How is a Pro AP 2x2 presumably a mistake?
something else to note here that NOBODY Talks about.
ALot of the Apple devices DO NOT use 160MHz, they are capped at 80MHz
For me I have an old UAP LR that i still chugging along (in addition to 2 UAP AC LRs and 1 UAT AC Pro). I keep wondering if I should replace it, but it's still working so I'm hesitant.
I guess I'll wait to wifi7 is ratified then decide if I want to retire it (I know it's EOL already)
I fully agree with your last comment. We still have time before this becomes mainstreem. Enjoy Wifi 6 and Wifi 6E
Hi, iPhone 13 Pro does not support wifi 7 or 6e.
the LED ring shines brighter x)
Did I miss you mentioning that it doesn’t come equipped with Bluetooth?
YAAAY, I was waiting for it. Was close to overspend on u6 enterprise :D
I use two U6-LR APs in my home. It would be nice to see a Wi-Fi 7 UniFi AP with a 10g NIC and 4x4 MIMO. I wouldn’t mind using a 10 gig PoE power injector.
And does anyone know if there will be a LR version? Those are a lot more useful due to their coverage than the pro variants.
I've been using the U7-Pro for about a week now and was surprised to hear an internal cooling fan turn on yesterday. The U7 is ceiling mounted at 12' high, and the hum was noticeable in the living room about 20 ft away. I restarted the AP and haven't heard the fan running since. Speed tests from my iPhone 15 Pro have been as high as 1029/1278 Mbps. The U7 replaces a UAP-AC-Pro using a 2.5 Gbps uplink. Happy with it so far
Must have been a glitch with the fan
Where do I get those feet I can see on the U6 Pro AP on your table that makes it look like a UFO ?! :)
If not connected to a 2.5G PoE+ port but to a common 2.5G port, you'll need a PoE+ Injector. Is the PoE+ Injector capable of a 2.5Gbe troughput? Or will the PoE+ Injector be a 1G limitation?
I feel like I saw a notification this video went live then maybe was reposted?
What's the range one can expect? Worse than 2.4 GHz for sure I'd imagine
Shame its only 2x2 hope it was its full pentantional 4x4
TP Link also has wifi 7 . Just sayin.
Damn, I literally just past my return window on the new U6-Pro i bought. Still brand new in box...
Really wish I procrastinated on ordering it. 😂
