UniFi U7 Long-Range: what it is & who it's for
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. Large open rooms, long hallways, and single-AP homes where range on 2.4 and 5 GHz matters more than a 6 GHz band.

Pros

- Standard 802.3af PoE (14 W) and a 2.5 GbE uplink for $159
Cons
- No 6 GHz radio — dual-band only, whatever some retailer listings say
- 5 GHz channels top out at 160 MHz (4.3 Gbps), not the Pro models' 240 MHz
- Thicker and heavier (43 mm, 448 g) than the U7 Lite
Best forLarge open rooms, long hallways, and single-AP homes where range on 2.4 and 5 GHz matters more than a 6 GHz band.
