Ubiquiti U7-LR | UniFi U7 Long‑Range | WiFi 7 | 2.5 GbE | PoE
Ubiquiti U7-LR | UniFi U7 Long‑Range | WiFi 7 | 2.5 GbE | PoE
A ceiling-mount WiFi 7 access point built for open-plan spaces where a single AP needs to carry 160 m² and 300+ clients without a second unit filling the gaps.
Why this one
- Five spatial streams (3×3 on 5 GHz, 2×2 on 2.4 GHz) let the AP serve more clients in parallel than a standard 4-stream WiFi 7 AP, which matters in a busy open-plan office or warehouse floor.
- The 6 dBi antenna gain on 5 GHz pushes the 160 m² coverage footprint without needing a second AP, reducing both hardware cost and the number of cable runs to the ceiling.
- A 2.5 GbE uplink means the backhaul port won't become the bottleneck when WiFi 7 clients are pulling at full speed — a 1 GbE uplink would cap aggregate throughput well below the radio's capacity.
- At 14W max draw, it runs on standard 802.3at PoE+, so any UniFi PoE switch with a PoE+ port can power it without an additional injector or power run.
Good fit if you're covering a single large open-plan area — a classroom, small office floor, retail space or studio — where one AP needs genuine reach and you already run UniFi Network 9.1.120 or later.
Worth considering something else if the space is heavily partitioned or multi-storey, where the U7-PRO's tighter pattern and dual-band 4×4 configuration suits a denser AP layout better, or if you need an outdoor AP, as this unit is rated for indoor use only.
What you'll also need
A UniFi gateway or controller running Network 9.1.120+, a PoE+ capable switch (such as a USW-LITE-16-POE or USW-24-POE) or a PoE+ injector, and Cat5e or better to the ceiling mounting point — the plastic mounting plate is included, but a PoE adapter is not.
