Ubiquiti U7 Pro XG Review: WiFi 7 With a 10 GbE Uplink
The U7 Pro XG brings WiFi 7, a 10 GbE PoE+ uplink and a silent metal-heatsink design to UniFi’s flagship ceiling AP line. Full specs, an interactive 3D model, comparisons and FAQs.
Ubiquiti U7 Pro XG: WiFi 7 With a 10 GbE Uplink
The UniFi U7 Pro XG is Ubiquiti’s ceiling-mounted flagship WiFi 7 access point built for high-density enterprise deployments. It pairs a 6-stream tri-radio (2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz) with a single 10 GbE uplink and a fanless metal-heatsink chassis borrowed from the Enterprise line. This is the full breakdown — specs, an interactive 3D model, comparisons and FAQs.

| 5 GHz | Up to 4.3 Gbps (240 MHz), 5 dBi |
| 2.4 GHz | Up to 688 Mbps, 4 dBi |
| Networking port | 1× 10 GbE RJ45 (1 / 2.5 / 5 / 10G) |
| Power | PoE+ (802.3at), 22W max |
| Coverage | 140 m² (1,500 ft²) |
| Max clients | 300+ |
| Dimensions | Ø206 × 32.5 mm |
| Cooling | Fanless metal-heatsink base |
| Band | Max data rate | Antenna gain |
|---|---|---|

| 6 GHz | 5.8 Gbps (320 MHz) | 6 dBi |
The 10 GbE port is the headline upgrade — the standard U7 Pro tops out at 2.5 GbE. To actually exceed 2.5 Gbps of aggregate throughput you’ll need a 10G / multi-gig PoE+ switch upstream.
WiFi 7 with a 10GbE uplink and a fanless heatsink design — the first Flagship UniFi APs to borrow the Enterprise thermal solution.
Should you buy it?
Pros
- 10 GbE PoE+ uplink — no longer bottlenecked at 2.5 GbE
- Full WiFi 7: 320 MHz channels and 6 GHz tri-radio
- Fanless metal heatsink runs silent and cool
- Familiar low-profile ceiling design with single-cable PoE+
Cons
- Needs a 10G/multi-gig PoE+ switch to unlock the uplink
- No dedicated spectral-scanning radio (see the XGS)
- 6 GHz is 2×2 rather than 4×4

Quick setup
Adopt the AP from the UniFi Network console, or via SSH for a self-hosted controller:
# Adopt the U7 Pro XG to a self-hosted UniFi Network controller via SSH
ssh ubnt@<ap-ip-address>
set-inform http://<controller-ip>:8080/inform
# Re-run set-inform once it appears as 'Pending Adoption' in the consoleFAQ
Yes — it’s a full WiFi 7 (802.11be) tri-radio AP with 320 MHz channels on 6 GHz.
Any 802.3at PoE+ source will power it, but to use the 10 GbE uplink you need a 10G/multi-gig PoE+ port upstream.
The XGS adds an 8th stream, a dedicated scanning radio and larger coverage. The XG is the 6-stream sibling with the same 10 GbE uplink.
