Ubiquiti U7-LITE | UniFi U7 Lite | WIFi 7 | 2.5 GbE | PoE
A compact ceiling-mount WiFi 7 access point for small offices, retail spaces and home installs where you need modern wireless without spending on features you won't use.
Why this one
- WiFi 7 (802.11be) with 240 MHz channel support on 5 GHz reaches 4.3 Gbps aggregate — enough headroom that the AP won't be the bottleneck as client devices move to WiFi 7.
- The 2.5 GbE uplink matches the radio throughput ceiling, so you're not strangling a WiFi 7 AP through a gigabit port the way older installs did with WiFi 6.
- At 115 m² rated coverage and 200+ clients, it fits a single floor of a small office or a large open-plan home without needing a second unit.
- 13W max draw sits within standard 802.3af PoE, so it runs from any UniFi PoE switch port without checking budgets or needing a PoE+ port.
Good fit if you're equipping a single room or small floor where one AP covers the space, your switch already has 802.3af PoE, and you want WiFi 7 without the cost of a U7 Pro or U7 LR.
Worth considering something else if you're covering a larger or multi-room space — the U7-LR is built for extended range and suits open warehouses or longer corridors where the Lite's 115 m² footprint will leave gaps.
What you'll also need
A UniFi controller (a Cloud Gateway such as the UCG-Ultra, or an existing UniFi Network installation running version 9.0.114 or later), a PoE switch or injector with an 802.3af-capable port, and Cat5e or better to the ceiling mounting point — the Lite mount is included in the box.
