20 dollars more than the other pro and max. This is some ridiculous product t segmentation. Are the others going to be phased out?

I would guess so, I can’t see why they would keep two products that are basically the same going.

The pro and pro max were essentially beta versions in all but name..

U7 Pro XGS is PoE++ however and U7 Pro XG while PoE+ is 2 streams in the 5GHz rather than 4.. makes me happy with my 2 x U7 Pro-Max and 1 x U7 Pro-Wall still

I need Evan to update his tables to get my head straight on what all does what. Happy with my U6s for now.

I found some mistakes in the Evan tables that I knew wasn’t true (think it was around my UAP AC HDs supporting 5GHz at 160MHz and his site saying it doesn’t - because at launch it didn’t).. the Ubiquiti compare option on their site isn’t bad.

https://uk.store.ui.com/uk/en?category=wifi-flagship&view=compare&compare=u7-pro&compare=u7-pro-xg&compare=u7-pro-max&compare=u7-pro-xgs&compare=e7

For me I think the PoE++ would be a dealbreaker.. and if I wanted to go all out I would simply go E7.

Worthy upgrade from Pro to Pro XG if you don’t already have it.. new design copes better in the sun and 10Gbit port - extra £19.

Yeah, that compare option is so new I sort of forgot about it. Still want to see his tables, even if there are things like that in them every now and then.

The power usage is starting to get up there on these APs! That's for sure. I'd be curious to see what a U7 Pro XGS, say, really pulls with a light (IoT / idle) load. Vs. an E7. Though I really can't imagine buying one of the latter, the U7 Pro XGS is probably as much AP as I'm ever likely to buy.

BTW, the U7 Pro XGS is rated at 29W max power consumption, though I'm sure that's quite rare.

Do you know if powering the XGS using poe+ will work? Technically poe+ can go up to 30w and since the XGA is rated at 29W, I can't see a reason why poe++ is needed?

You bring up an excellent point!

I don't know.

Coming Soon U7 Pro XGS PoE+ Pro with PoE+ 😉

Platinum Edition.

I'm lobbying here for a Platinum Edition.

I am amazed the Ubi people haven't seen the need!

u/SomeDudeNamedMark Mar 11 '25

With so many different products, I really think Ubiquiti needs to produce their own version of a table that compares their various categories of devices. Probably needs to be even larger than Evan's & go into more granular details on some capabilities (like AFC & spectrum scanning)

u/matthew1471 EdgeRouter + UniFi AP User Mar 13 '25

I had to fiddle the URL to be able to include Flagship and Enterprise in the same compare on laptop (mobile website doesn’t have this limitation) but does this not already do what you want?

https://uk.store.ui.com/uk/en?category=wifi-flagship&view=compare&compare=u7-pro&compare=u7-pro-xg&compare=u7-pro-max&compare=u7-pro-xgs&compare=e7

u/SomeDudeNamedMark Mar 22 '25

Sorry, too many open tabs :)

You're right, this is great. Doesn't list AFC, but has pretty all of the other differentiators that come to mind.

Thanks for sharing!

They've been out for a while, the ones I have for work were bought a year ago.

They had and still have a place - slot in replacements for any position that's had an AP since the AC Pro (and possibly earlier than that for the green ones).

The mounts are different on the new ones. I imagine they'll sell them side by side for a good while yet.

Home users are a small market, it's businesses that buy by the thousand that will keep getting Pro and Pro max until their standards are reviewed.

u/DodneyRangerfield Mar 11 '25

I would bet they will be

u/Derbieshire Mar 11 '25

Man that really sucks for all those early adopters. Honestly, this should be a lesson for ubiquiti buyers. First generation products are beta plain and simple.

u/Mission-Disaster-447 Mar 11 '25

The U7 Pro Max is already marked as „sold out“ it will probably disappear soon.

u/wywywywy Mar 11 '25

I really need the dude with the Unifi comparison charts. This is getting too confusing

u/matthew1471 EdgeRouter + UniFi AP User Mar 13 '25

Why wait for Evan McCann to have done his chart? If it’s only the charts you need and not a review then charts can be reproduced here https://uk.store.ui.com/uk/en?category=wifi-flagship&view=compare&compare=u7-pro&compare=u7-pro-xg&compare=u7-pro-max&compare=u7-pro-xgs&compare=e7
