i get tired of writing glowing reviews for Ubiquiti products, but here we are again......
The U7 Pro Max works as expected. I plugged them into my network via POE, adopted them within the console, and waited for updates. No issues. FYI, real-world coverage is closer to 1000 sq ft versus 1500.
I was intimidated by the sophistication of the TP-Link Omada WiFi infrastructure. Instead, this unit came configured out-of-the-box as a single access point bridging its WiFi network to the wired LAN. There was no complexity and no port forwarding for external access. I used the TP-Link TL-SF1005P PoE switch to power it and the port priority feature of the switch.
It was easy to setup. it has the ability to run multiple VLANs to isolation networks. It can also adjust the WiFi power.
Provides 5 GHz 802.11ac connectivity with great speeds in our backyard. Can connect anywhere on our 1/2 acre lot with zero issues. Can connect 2 houses over on 2.4 GHz. This little AP is amazing. I'm using it in normal AP mode, not mesh. Operates stand-alone without controller software or Cloud Key, but features are limited. Initially configured via smart phone app. Obtained a Cloud Key and really got this thing configured perfectly. Powering this via a Cisco 2960X PoE switch.
At this point in time, a lot of people already know of how well, Ubiquiti's UniFi lineup is for wireless. I've setup multiple installs of their wifi components and it usually works flawlessly and provides a number of features you'd never get with regular consumer level products
