Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 6E, and Wi-Fi 7 access points from the UniFi lineup. Spatial streams, PHY rates, uplink speeds, and honest verdicts on which AP actually fits your install.
Eleven access points span two Wi-Fi generations: nine for the ceiling, one for the wall and one for outdoors. On Wi-Fi 7, the U7 Lite ($99, dual-band, 802.3af PoE, 2.5 GbE uplink) is the entry point; the U7 Long-Range ($159, 3×3 on 5 GHz, 160 m²) is the coverage pick; the U7 Pro ($189, tri-band with a 6 GHz radio, PoE+) is the mainstream default; the U7 Pro XG ($199) is the same radio with a 10 GbE uplink; the U7 Pro Max ($279, 4×4 on 5 GHz, 500+ clients) is the density pick; the U7 Pro XGS ($299, eight streams, 10 GbE, PoE++) tops the ceiling-mount range; and the E7 ($499, ten streams, 11.5 Gbps on 6 GHz, 10 GbE, PoE++ 43 W) is the flagship. The Wi-Fi 6 U6 Lite ($99) and U6 Pro ($159) remain for 802.3af, 1 GbE builds that do not need a 6 GHz band. Off the ceiling, the U7 Pro XG Wall ($279) puts the U7 Pro XG's radio and 10 GbE uplink in a wall-mounted housing, and the U7 Pro Outdoor ($279, weatherproof, rated for 465 m²) takes the U7 Pro's radio outside on the same PoE+ port.

The cheapest way onto Wi-Fi 6 in the UniFi lineup. A straight 2×2 dual-band AP — fine for density-light rooms, but it gives up the U6 Pro's 4×4 5 GHz radio.
The sensible default Wi-Fi 6 AP. A 4×4 5 GHz radio and 160 MHz channel width give it real headroom over the U6 Lite — but the 1 GbE uplink is the ceiling, not the air.
The $99 Wi-Fi 7 entry point and the U6 Lite's successor. Same price, same 802.3af PoE draw, but it adds a 2.5 GbE uplink and a 4.3 Gbps 5 GHz radio — what it gives up is the 6 GHz band, which the U7 Pro keeps.
The coverage pick in the Wi-Fi 7 range. A 3×3 5 GHz radio and a high-gain antenna array stretch it to 160 m² on standard 802.3af PoE — but like the U7 Lite it is dual-band, with no 6 GHz radio.
The first genuinely affordable Wi-Fi 7 UniFi AP. The 6 GHz radio and 2.5 GbE uplink finally move the bottleneck off the wire — the obvious pick for new installs.
A U7 Pro with a 10 GbE uplink for $10 more. Same six-stream tri-band radio, same 140 m² and 300+ client rating — the XG only earns its keep behind a 10 GbE or 5 GbE switch port.
The high-density Wi-Fi 7 AP. Eight spatial streams — 4×4 on 5 GHz at 8.6 Gbps — and a 500+ client rating against the U7 Pro's 300+, for $90 more. Its 2.5 GbE uplink is now the ceiling.
The top of the ceiling-mount range: the U7 Pro Max's eight-stream radio and spectral analysis with the XG's 10 GbE uplink, for $299. It needs PoE++ — 29 W.
The flagship, and a different class of hardware. Ten spatial streams, 4×4 on both 5 and 6 GHz, and 11.5 Gbps of rated 6 GHz throughput — roughly double every other tri-band AP here. A 10 GbE uplink plus a second 1 GbE port, 1000+ clients and 185 m². At $499 it is $200 over the U7 Pro XGS, and its 43 W is the largest PoE++ draw in the lineup.
The U7 Pro's six-stream tri-band radio in a weatherproof housing (IPX6, or IP67 with the cable-gland door kit) with a directional antenna, rated for 465 m² against 140 m². It runs on the same PoE+ port and 2.5 GbE uplink as the indoor model, so the $90 premium is all enclosure and antenna.
The U7 Pro XG's radio and 10 GbE uplink in a flat wall-mounted housing of 155 × 108 mm. Coverage, client and power ratings match the ceiling model — 140 m², 300+ clients, PoE+ at 22 W — so the $80 premium buys the form factor.
