      It's going to be at least another year, perhaps even two, before Ubiquiti upgrades the entire AP product range again. At that point, they'll probably also release a new Enterprise version, whereas the U7 Lite will most likely indeed have pretty similar specs but in a smaller package (I wouldn't be surprised if they kept the true and tried shell of the Nano/U6 Lite).

    What do the 5GHz speeds look like on the pixel 8 for the U7 Pro? Thats what I'm curious about. My U6 Pro is only limited to the gig ethernet port. Was hoping to be able to get faster results by switching to the U7 Pro. Other AP's that have 2.5G I've tested I've been able to get near 1.8Gbps over regular 5GHz WiFi 6.

    Good video. There are always more things that would have been interesting to see when it comes to AP testing. One small detail that I personally think makes a big difference is to make sure you have the same scale on the y-axis when you compare the speeds of the Pixel 8 and the iPhone 13 (I think the graph for Pixel 8 went from 0 to 1000 and for the iPhone it was 0 to 750 or something like that). That would have made it much easier to actually clearly see the speed difference between the two.

I don't think this is a big deal for most however, in my SoHo I use Protect All-In-One Sensors to track doors opening and closing which require bluetooth connectivity. I find it odd that Ubiquiti did not add bluetooth to the U7 Pro as they previously added it to both the U6 Pro and U6 Lite (not U6+). I wonder if this had something to do with keeping cost down or maybe they felt it didn't add any value.

Comparing different generations of devices that have similarities/differences based on things other than expense would be more appropriate than comparisons based on cost.
      Cost is almost always a difference between devices of different generations and so I suspect that's why it was not really mentioned in the video. Further, comparing the device features (whether subjectively an upgrade or a downgrade) helps the consumer figure out if the cost difference is indeed justified (for them) or not. Something being a higher cost does not mean it's a better product (or worse).

      U7 is only 2x2 MIMO on 5 and 6Ghz. It's going to be several years before most of my devices are WiFi 7 compatible, I still have most on 5Ghz, so 4x4 MIMO provides more benefit here.
      No doubt there'll be a U7 Enterprise eventually - that'll be worth the upgrade likely.

      @@DavidTrejo from the U7 Pro FAQ on the UI store: "A WiFi 6E or WiFi 7 client device is required to utilize the 6 GHz band." I figured a 6E device would operate in the 6 GHz band of this new radio, but I've been around technology long enough to not assume anything in terms of interoperability (and I'm talking about thunderbolt interoperability, or lack thereof).

It may not affect the 6 GHz results too much unless the mixed use becomes taxing on the AP. Also not looking forward to a world of three dedicated SSIDs for each band, as I am sure band steering, which already does not have a good reputation will perform flawlessly across three bands and super wide channels in a multiple access point install.
