Ubiquiti U7-LITE WIFI Access Point

About the Ubiquiti U7 Lite.

With the new generation Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be), this compact access point delivers up to 4.3 Gbps in the 5 GHz band and covers approximately 115 m², supporting more than 200 simultaneous devices thanks to its four spatial streams and integrated UniFi management.

Its 2.5 GbE port with PoE (13 W max.) avoids bottlenecks and simplifies installation on ceilings or walls.

Wi-Fi 7 performance of 4.3 Gbps.

The EHT chipset supports channels up to 240 MHz and MU-MIMO 2×2 per band, offering 688 Mbps in 2.4 GHz and 4.3 Gbps in 5 GHz.

This translates into greater capacity, lower latency, and a more stable network in saturated environments.

Multi-gigabit connectivity.

The 2.5 GbE uplink allows you to squeeze all the bandwidth that Wi-Fi 7 provides and is compatible with PoE 44-57 V, reducing failure points and energy consumption to only 13 W.

Simplified UniFi management.

UniFi Network (v9.0+) centralizes configuration and deploys features such as band steering, wireless mesh, 802.11r/k/v fast roaming, PPSK, and captive portal with custom branding, all without additional licenses.

Lightweight and robust design.

With 171.5 mm in diameter, 33 mm in thickness, and 313 g in weight, the Ubiquiti U7 Lite goes unnoticed in offices or homes.

Its UV polycarbonate housing tolerates temperatures from −30 °C to 40 °C, and the included bracket speeds up clean ceiling or wall mounting.

Security and business mobility.

Includes dynamic VLANs, client isolation, and Hotspot 2.0 authentication.

PPSK encryption facilitates granular access per user without complex RADIUS infrastructures, improving the guest experience and network protection.

Opinion of our expert.

Compared to the veteran U6 Lite (Wi-Fi 6 and 1 GbE port), the Ubiquiti U7 Lite doubles the available bandwidth and increases concurrent capacity with a single hardware update, while maintaining very low consumption.

Although it lacks the 6 GHz band—present in premium rivals such as the TP-Link Omada EAP780—its balance between performance, efficiency, and potential price makes it the option with the best performance/management ratio for SMEs and advanced homes. Those who require more streams or 6 GHz might consider alternatives like the Aruba Instant On AP24, but for most deployments the UniFi ecosystem, the update policy, and PoE support make the Ubiquiti U7 Lite an outstanding choice.
