Seems like WiFi 7 is being pushed out quite fast. I still haven't upgraded to 6 I guess I'll be skipping the 6 upgrade and go straight to 7.
I just bought a U6 AP last week and I only have 4 WiFi 6 devices and wife and I got new phones this year so not going to have anything WiFi 7 for quite a while
Agreed. Not gonna buy this right now since none of my clients support WiFi 7 yet. But Ubiquiti is pushing this out faster than WiFi 6.
It also looks like it requires a main network hub that handles 2.5GbE, along with the network cables (Cat6) to support it.
The current UDM Pro SE doesn't even support that with the Network ports.
The standard and professional switches don't even cover 2.5GbE. You would have to deploy Pro Max or Enterprise switches if you haven't already.
For me it's a wait and see. Nothing in my network requires 7 yet or the speeds that 7 can push. Most can't even really utilize 6E.
Are you sure it requires a 2.5GbE switch? I assumed it would be compatible with gigabit but just not get the higher throughput.
