I got the u7 pro max with an udm se and replaced an amplifi hd mesh system. One u7 pro max was enough to cover the house and it's fantastic. Should've swapped earlier. I digress.. commenting for engagement.
Thanks another great review , In the end I got confused when you started to talk on the U6 pro , I was thinking you comparing U7 Pro and U7 Pro max only
Nice vid. One question; would be interesting to see what thermals are like with a sustained, large data transfer or a simulation of multiple concurrent transactions -> you measured temps when devices were not so busy 🧐🧐
IMO 5GHz tests should be performed with 160MHz channels. Why they were not done like that? I guess that they would show values exceeding 1Gbps showing many viewers that there is no point upgrading .
Pro max should have 5 or 10gbe backhaul IMO. I feel like investing in them would not be very future proof. Note: I do a lot of work on network drives that can do more than 2.5gbit on my network
- Possible noise over time due to dust buildup - The fan is an additional failure point and not swappable - Bad thermal design that made it necessary to use a fan in the first place
@@xACExSHARKx The fan should be controllerd at some point , so it will not work all the time , I am sure it will work for long years , If you open a unifi wifi after years you will not see much dust , In addition you have warranty , About Bad thermal design - It makes me think that every place we have a fan is bad design ?
@@Bambo-DN When I look at switches that have failed in my lifetime, I'm pretty sure all of them were units that had a fan, plus maybe one (non-Unifi) that died during a firmware upgrade. I have a Unifi switch right now that is probably due for a fan replacement, although I am debating upgrading the whole unit so I am putting it off. Don't get me wrong, it's been in service for a few years and it doesn't owe me anything, but nonetheless, the fan is a common failure point. I've never opened a Unifi wifi unit with a fan, but is there reason to believe it'll do better than other prosumer or SMB equipment at handling environment dust?
If you're a normal user, the original UniFi AP doing 2.4GHz N standard is plenty, giving you good range and penetration. I am still on those and never experience issues. Wifi is only for phones and tablets, how many 4K videos do you want to watch simultaniously on these things?
Why are always the comparison? Completely senseless. Checking the specs, that’s it. Why making a story of it? No secret revealed, no hidden information discovered. Clicks makes money…
idk, why cant ubiquiti enable it since it has more expensive gear, they announced it 1 year ago, i ddnt even see tplink ad for mlo, so yea if you want you can enable it right

Still no MLO, fan inside - no easy way to replace it.
The U7 Pro also has a fan and MLO is currently available in early access
And its SHIT !! EA version for U7 is trash

Comment away :) thanks for the engagement
Great to read this, I have a amplifi HD mesh and have just got the pro max and a gateway max. Really excited to play with it tonight
Do you know what sqft your house is?
one of the best reviews I've seen in a long time! thank you!
Thanks for the kind words, glad it was helpful.
I am seriously considering replacing one of my U6 Pro access points with the U7 Pro Max. I want that spectrum analyzer.
Love the feature!
I did and now the performance is way better and more stable than it was with U6 LR. With UDM Pro and 1G eth
IMHO worth it
I had a delivery of 5 of each of these turn up while watching your video. Useful info
Glad it was helpful!
Buffer issue on the switch side, you should connect the mac at 2.5 Gigabit/s too, in order to achieve higher download speed
The U7 Pro also has a fan.
Strange , I have U7 Pro and never heard it's working
When is the U7 Enterprise coming out.
If there is a U7 Enterprise and I wish I knew 😩
Unlikely to come out before MLO support. Probably will get 10GbE.
Now
Thanks another great review , In the end I got confused when you started to talk on the U6 pro , I was thinking you comparing U7 Pro and U7 Pro max only
Thanks 🙌🏽 I’m not sure how I mentioned U6, but yes I was referring to the U7
Can someone explain the point of 7 Gbps Wi-Fi on an access point that only has 2.5 gig uplink (sorry for my bad english)
Not sure why you didn’t mention the u7 pro 2.5ghz issue?
What issue?
@@slyzillatv196 Lots of other youtubers are having issues with their 2.5ghz iot devices dropping out. And there are suggestions to not buy this model
Great and to the point video! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video.
You are welcome!
Why did you set transmit power to medium for your test, I get why you might want to do it when using multiple APs. 😊
Theres no real reason behind it, I have 2 APs in my house so setting to medium is generally what I do.
Nice vid. One question; would be interesting to see what thermals are like with a sustained, large data transfer or a simulation of multiple concurrent transactions -> you measured temps when devices were not so busy 🧐🧐
Great suggestion! I will try and incorporate this in another video

2x2 MIMO = RIP.
Have I knew before I bought the 7 Pro...my old AC Pro was 3x3.
Pro max should have 5 or 10gbe backhaul IMO. I feel like investing in them would not be very future proof. Note: I do a lot of work on network drives that can do more than 2.5gbit on my network
A fan in that chassis is a no buy from me.
Why’s that?
- Possible noise over time due to dust buildup
- The fan is an additional failure point and not swappable
- Bad thermal design that made it necessary to use a fan in the first place

Am I only one to see the stupidity of having all that maximum WI-IFI bandwidth capability only to bottleneck at 2.5Gb
MLO doesnt work on the EA firmware ! The accesspoints are trash
honestly if you are just a normal user the u7 pro is more than enough, who has 500 clients at home lol 😂
pro max has longer coverage range and spatial streams, nobody is gonna use all the client space on a cheap 100 dollar router

Suprisingly slow performace
That channel graph is terrible.
I bet its software locked, and 100% identical hardware

dont lie about mlo please they are saying it since 2023 dec, no mlo coming, countrys will not allow it
Why would I lie about the MLO? I know TP link already have it on their access points, so if countries wont allow it, how have TP-Link done it?
idk, why cant ubiquiti enable it since it has more expensive gear, they announced it 1 year ago, i ddnt even see tplink ad for mlo, so yea if you want you can enable it right
Still no MLO, fan inside - no easy way to replace it.
MLO already available in early access
