Question: Can U7 outdoor being use in mesh mode? Just provide U7 outdoor with power via PoE adapter without connect to any switch, then U7 outdoor will mesh with other access points in the network and provide internet access?
Thanks for the video, very useful. One technical question if you don't mind: have you tested the internal antenna mode with and without the external antennas mounted on the device? Essentially, I am trying to understand if the presence of the antenna undermines the performance of the internal antennas, when operating in internal antenna mode. I ran a quick test on my own U7 (with the antennas) and I seem to have a better signal with the external duo. The U7 is installed about 4m agl and on a brick wall.
Strange that your signal strength is so low with the built in super antenna with that unobstructed line of site. I have this setup on my house beaming through a small wooded area to my front yard about 300' (APX 90m) and get much stronger signal then you were seeing. My average DB on 5ghz at 200' was around 65db. I am assuming you likely have alot of interference from neighbors networks where I do not.
@ResRules from what i know, besides 6ghz channel, wifi 7 has a higher channel bandwidth, can somehow transfer more bits per "package", and devices can connect to two channels at once. The U7 Outdoor doesn't have a 6ghz channel because I think you're not yet allowed yet to have that outdoors in the US.
@@ResRulesWi-Fi 7 never required 6Ghz. There's really no problem on that besides incorrectly expecting everything Wi-Fi 7 to also be 6Ghz, this is not true at all. Wi-Fi 7 is 2.4Ghz, 5Ghz and also 6Ghz
great demo, definetly looks quality, for directional outdoor use i think its the best right now, if you have a big long garden thats the ap you need.

Great review , thanks , small correction in 0.26 you mentioned the speed as 2.5 Gbytes but should be 2,5Gbit

would the omni be better than 7 pro? i am mounting it inside my garage.
It looks very similar to the Luxul APs that I abandoned years ago. I will certainly deploy these on future projects.
Wonder how this compares to the mesh6u APs!
If I can get my hands on one, I’ll be happy to do a comparison
@@InsideWire you da man!
Does it have a FAN?
what iphone app is that?
WiFi man
I would like ubiquiti stuff but i only have a iPad and iPhone to connect to current network.
perfect for a big Ubiquiti set up 😁
Antennas are pointless it looks like. Seemed to work great without them
Really depends on the use case, its works great without as its directional.
You are testing a 6ghz access point at 5ghz...
The U7 Outdoor does not have a 6ghz channel (as mentioned in the video).
@@ThomasS17 How can it be wifi 7 without 6ghz?

This is correct the U7 outdoor does not have 6GHz due to the strict regulations, if you google theres already alot of discussion around it.
