As a Unifi home user, they don't even have a reasonable WIFI 6E product, so there's little chance I'm going to early adopt anything like WIFI 7 from them.

Wait, we're at WiFi 7 already? I missed the WiFi 6 boat then =)

Still running a 5+ year old UAP AC Pro and haven't found it limiting in the least. Do people really need insane WiFi speeds?

What’s the issue with their 6E offerings?

I wish they would get their shit together and have software that isn't buggy / riddled with security issues. Their march to a cloud dependent offering is so disappointing.

I’m curious about the 2.5 Gbps interface, which isn’t even half the theoretical max of a single connection (~5.6 Gbps) and far from the theoretical AP Max (~36 Gbps). I guess they don’t have any PoE 10Gbps switches.

Edit: Turns out they do have one. [0]

What's wrong with U6 Enterprise? It supports 6E just fine AFAIK.

As another Unifi home user I've seen little reason to move beyond the 802.11n offerings.

Their system is not particularly dependent on the cloud right now. I do wish they had a modern cloud key that didn’t run as absurdly hot at the gen 2.

Their only WIFI 6E product is their "Enterprise" product, which is overpriced for home use. Everything else is WIFI 6
