WiFi 7 Mesh - hardware selection

Question

Hi everyone,

I am looking for advice on which hardware to choose for a UniFi WiFi 7 Mesh network. At the moment I run a pair of TP-Link Deco X75 pro and they work just fine, but they lack multi-SSID VLAN support that I will need from now on. Currently I am using their 6Ghz band exclusively as a wireless backhaul (works fine), clients are supporting WiFi 5 to 6E.

I have a fiber connection with 600/300 mbit, my appartment is roughly 1.100 sqft and the APs will be placed at both ends for additional outdoor reach. The "main" AP will have a wired connection to my switch, the Mesh AP will have a power socket only and needs to stand or lay on a desk or windowsill (or I will need some kind of stand for it)

AI suggested a pair of U7 Pro APs. But I would much prefer advice from experienced users.

Thanks in advance.

You can use multiples of any of the current Unifi APs to create a mesh network. At least one needs to be connected via Ethernet to your switch or router. PoE will need to be provided for each AP as well.

The APs will need to be adopted and setup/configured using an instance of the Unifi Network application running on a Unifi console or self hosted
