Ubiquiti UniFi U7 In-Wall WiFi 7 Access Point – 2.5GbE PoE Switch, 4-Stream Dual-Band WiFi

The Ubiquiti UniFi U7 In-Wall (U7-IW) is a compact wall-mounted WiFi 7 access point with an integrated 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet switch, designed for hotels, apartments, offices, bedrooms, meeting rooms, student accommodation and other locations where both high-speed wireless connectivity and local wired Ethernet connections are required.

Unlike a conventional access point that provides WiFi alone, the U7 In-Wall combines dual-band WiFi 7, three 2.5GbE RJ45 interfaces, PoE-powered installation and a downstream PoE output in a low-profile wall-mounted design.

The access point provides four spatial streams across its 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios, with 2×2 MU-MIMO on each band. Ubiquiti specifies maximum theoretical wireless data rates of up to 4.3Gbps on 5GHz using WiFi 7 and up to 688Mbps on 2.4GHz.

Ubiquiti rates the U7-IW for coverage of up to approximately 115m² / 1,250ft² and more than 200 connected clients, although real-world coverage and throughput depend on building construction, interference, channel configuration, client hardware and access-point placement.

What Is the UniFi U7 In-Wall?

The U7 In-Wall is a wall-mounted WiFi 7 wireless access point and multi-gigabit Ethernet switch in one compact device.

It is designed to replace the traditional arrangement where a room may require both:

• A separate wireless access point
• A separate Ethernet switch

Instead, one Ethernet connection can provide the U7-IW with network connectivity and Power over Ethernet, while the unit distributes WiFi and also provides local wired Ethernet connectivity.

Ideal for Room-by-Room Networking

This design is especially useful in environments such as:

• Hotels
• Guest rooms
• Student accommodation
• Apartment buildings
• Bedrooms
• Home offices
• Business offices
• Meeting rooms
• Conference facilities
• Small commercial rooms

Ubiquiti specifically describes the U7 In-Wall as being designed for hospitality environments.

WiFi 7 Wireless Technology

The U7 In-Wall supports the latest-generation IEEE 802.11be / WiFi 7 wireless standard.

WiFi 7 introduces improvements designed to provide higher wireless throughput, more efficient spectrum utilisation and improved performance for compatible modern client devices.

WiFi Standards Supported

The U7-IW supports multiple generations of WiFi technology, including:

• 802.11be – WiFi 7
• 802.11ax – WiFi 6
• 802.11ac – WiFi 5
• 802.11n – WiFi 4

This backward compatibility allows modern WiFi 7 hardware and many existing older wireless clients to use the same access point.

Important: The U7 In-Wall Does Not Have a 6GHz Radio

The U7-IW is a dual-band WiFi 7 access point operating on 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

It does not include a 6GHz wireless radio.

WiFi 7 Does Not Automatically Mean 6GHz

WiFi 7 features can operate across supported wireless bands, and a WiFi 7 access point does not necessarily need a 6GHz radio.

The U7 In-Wall provides WiFi 7 performance using:

• 2.4GHz
• 5GHz

If 6GHz WiFi is an essential requirement, consider a UniFi access point specifically specified with a 6GHz radio, such as an appropriate U7 Pro-class model.

Four Spatial Streams

The U7 In-Wall provides a total of four spatial streams.

These are divided between its two wireless radios:

• 2 × 2.4GHz spatial streams
• 2 × 5GHz spatial streams

2×2 MU-MIMO on Both Bands

Ubiquiti specifies 2×2 downlink and uplink MU-MIMO on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz.

MU-MIMO allows an access point to communicate more efficiently with compatible wireless devices in multi-client environments.

Up to 4.3Gbps on 5GHz

The 5GHz WiFi 7 radio has a maximum manufacturer-specified theoretical PHY data rate of up to 4.3Gbps.

This maximum uses WiFi 7 / 802.11be and channel widths extending to 240MHz.

Supported WiFi 7 Channel Widths

The U7 In-Wall supports WiFi 7 EHT channel widths of:

• 20MHz
• 40MHz
• 80MHz
• 160MHz
• 240MHz

No 320MHz Channel Support

The U7 In-Wall specification does not include the 320MHz channels used by certain 6GHz WiFi 7 access points.

The maximum EHT bandwidth specified for the U7-IW is 240MHz.

Up to 688Mbps on 2.4GHz

The 2.4GHz radio provides a maximum theoretical PHY data rate of up to 688Mbps using compatible WiFi 7 hardware and 40MHz channel width.

The 2.4GHz band remains particularly valuable for:

• IoT equipment
• Smart-home devices
• Older WiFi clients
• Devices prioritising range over maximum throughput

Theoretical WiFi Speed vs Real-World Speed

The quoted 4.3Gbps and 688Mbps figures are theoretical wireless PHY data rates.

They should not be interpreted as guaranteed internet-download speeds or guaranteed single-client throughput.

Actual speeds depend on:

• Client WiFi capability
• Number of spatial streams supported by the client
• Channel width
• Radio interference
• Distance from the AP
• Walls and building materials
• Network congestion
• Ethernet uplink speed
• Router and gateway performance
• Internet connection speed

2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Uplink

The U7-IW uses a 2.5GbE wired uplink.

A multi-gigabit uplink is useful because WiFi 7 can deliver aggregate wireless performance beyond the practical limits of a conventional 1GbE connection.

Why 2.5GbE Matters

A conventional Gigabit Ethernet connection has a nominal line rate of 1Gbps.

Using a 2.5GbE network connection increases the available wired bandwidth between the access point and the rest of the network.

This can be useful when multiple wireless clients are simultaneously:

• Downloading large files
• Streaming high-resolution video
• Accessing a NAS
• Using cloud applications
• Performing backups
• Using business applications

Three 2.5GbE RJ45 Interfaces

Ubiquiti specifies a total of three 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 interfaces on the U7 In-Wall.

This allows the device to act as both a WiFi access point and a small multi-gigabit wired network switch.

Integrated 2.5GbE Switch

The built-in switch makes it possible to connect compatible wired devices directly at the room location without installing a separate desktop Ethernet switch.

Potential wired devices include:

• Desktop PCs
• Laptops and docks
• Smart TVs
• IP phones
• Games consoles
• Streaming devices
• Printers
• Network appliances

Can the U7 In-Wall Power Another PoE Device?

Yes. The integrated switch includes a single downstream PoE output.

However, Ubiquiti specifically states that the U7 In-Wall itself must receive PoE+ input for its downstream PoE output to be available.

PoE+ Is Required for PoE Passthrough

The important distinction is:

• PoE input: can power the U7-IW itself
• PoE+ input: required if the downstream PoE output will also be used

The upstream PoE source must therefore have sufficient PoE capacity if another powered device will be connected through the U7-IW.

Check the Downstream Device's PoE Requirements

Before powering another device through the U7-IW, verify:

• The downstream device's PoE requirement
• The upstream switch or injector's power budget
• The U7-IW's current Ubiquiti PoE configuration requirements

Do not assume that the downstream output can power every type of PoE device.

PoE-Powered Installation

The U7 In-Wall is powered over its Ethernet connection using Power over Ethernet.

This means a separate mains socket and local AC power adapter are not required beside the access point when a suitable PoE network connection is available.

Supported Voltage Range

Ubiquiti specifies a supported input range of:

• 42.5–57V DC

Maximum AP Power Consumption

The U7-IW itself has a manufacturer-specified maximum consumption of approximately:

• 13W excluding downstream PoE output

If the PoE output is used, the upstream PoE power budget must also account for the downstream powered device.

PoE Injector or PoE Switch Required

The U7 In-Wall requires a compatible PoE source.

This can typically be provided by:

• A compatible UniFi PoE switch
• Another standards-compatible PoE switch
• A compatible Ubiquiti PoE injector

Ubiquiti lists its 2.5G PoE+ Adapter as a compatible accessory where a suitable PoE switch is not available.

Up to 115m² / 1,250ft² Coverage

Ubiquiti rates the U7 In-Wall for a coverage area of up to approximately:

• 115m²
• 1,250ft²

Coverage Is an Estimate, Not a Guarantee

Real-world WiFi coverage varies considerably between installations.

Factors affecting range include:

• Brick walls
• Concrete
• Metal structures
• Foil-backed insulation
• Mirrors
• Furniture
• Neighbouring WiFi networks
• Access-point mounting position
• Client antenna quality

A professional deployment should therefore be planned around the actual building rather than relying solely on the manufacturer's maximum coverage figure.

Supports More Than 200 Connected Clients

Ubiquiti specifies support for 200+ connected client devices.

200+ Clients Does Not Mean 200 Heavy Users at Full Speed

The maximum client count indicates how many devices the AP is designed to support at the association level.

Real usable network capacity depends on how those clients use the network.

Two hundred mostly idle smartphones represent a very different workload from two hundred devices simultaneously performing large downloads or high-bitrate streaming.

5GHz Antenna Performance

Ubiquiti specifies the 5GHz radio with:

• 8dBi antenna gain
• Up to 24dBm transmit power

Actual permitted transmit power and available channels can depend on regulatory region and configuration.

2.4GHz Antenna Performance

The 2.4GHz radio is specified with:

• 4dBi antenna gain
• Up to 23dBm transmit power

Eight BSSIDs per Radio

The U7 In-Wall supports up to 8 BSSIDs per radio.

This provides flexibility when separating different wireless networks, for example:

• Employee WiFi
• Guest WiFi
• IoT devices
• Management devices
• Hotel guests
• Business departments

Network design should still avoid creating unnecessary SSIDs because each additional wireless network introduces management overhead.

Wireless Meshing

The U7-IW supports UniFi wireless meshing.

This allows compatible UniFi access points to establish wireless uplinks in appropriate deployments.

Wired Ethernet Is Preferred Where Available

Although wireless meshing is useful when Ethernet cannot reach a location, a wired Ethernet uplink normally provides more predictable capacity and reduces the radio resources consumed by wireless backhaul.

For a new permanent installation, wired 2.5GbE backhaul is therefore preferable where practical.

WiFi 7 Multi-Link Operation

UniFi WiFi 7 deployments can support Multi-Link Operation / MLO with compatible client hardware and suitable UniFi software and firmware.

MLO allows compatible WiFi 7 clients to maintain links across more than one available radio band.

Potential Benefits of MLO

Depending on the client and network configuration, MLO can help provide:

• Improved connection reliability
• Lower latency
• More efficient use of available bands
• Potential throughput improvements

Full MLO behaviour is client-dependent and requires compatible WiFi 7 hardware.

Band Steering

The U7-IW supports band steering.

This can encourage compatible dual-band clients to use the higher-performance 5GHz band when appropriate instead of remaining unnecessarily on 2.4GHz.

Fast Roaming for Multi-AP Networks

The U7 In-Wall supports several technologies useful in multi-access-point deployments:

• 802.11r Fast Roaming
• 802.11k Radio Resource Management
• 802.11v BSS Transition Management

Why Roaming Matters

In a hotel, office or larger home, users may move between several access points.

Roaming technologies help compatible clients transition between access points more efficiently as signal conditions change.

Designed for Hospitality WiFi

Ubiquiti specifically positions the U7-IW for hospitality environments.

Its combination of:

• Compact wall mounting
• WiFi 7
• Local 2.5GbE ports
• PoE input
• PoE output
• Guest portal features

makes it particularly useful for room-by-room network deployment.

Ideal for Hotels

A hotel can install a U7 In-Wall in individual rooms or selected areas to provide both WiFi coverage and wired network connections from one compact device.

Potential hotel-room connections include:

• Guest WiFi
• Smart TV
• IP telephone
• Streaming device
• Other networked room equipment

Ideal for Student Accommodation

Student accommodation often needs strong room-level WiFi plus wired connectivity for desktops, games consoles and study equipment.

The U7-IW provides both functions from one wall-mounted access point.

Ideal for Apartments and Bedrooms

The compact design can also suit residential installations where a network cable already terminates at a wall location.

Instead of placing a separate access point and switch on furniture, the U7-IW can provide a cleaner integrated installation.

Ideal for Offices and Meeting Rooms

In business environments, the U7-IW can provide WiFi coverage alongside local Ethernet for equipment such as:

• PCs
• VoIP phones
• Video conferencing systems
• Printers
• Presentation equipment

Guest Hotspot and Captive Portal Features

The U7-IW supports UniFi guest-network and captive-portal functionality.

Supported features listed by Ubiquiti include:

• Custom branded landing pages
• Voucher authentication
• Payment-based authentication
• External portal server support
• Password authentication
• Guest network isolation

Useful for Hotels and Public WiFi

These capabilities allow organisations to create a more controlled guest-access experience than simply sharing the primary business WiFi password.

Private Pre-Shared Keys

The U7-IW supports Private Pre-Shared Key / PPSK functionality within UniFi Network.

PPSK can be useful when different users or device groups need separate credentials while remaining within a centrally managed wireless environment.

Dynamic VLAN Assignment

The access point supports dynamic RADIUS-assigned VLANs.

This allows compatible enterprise network configurations to assign users or devices to different VLANs based on authentication policies.

RADIUS over TLS / RadSec

The U7-IW also supports RADIUS over TLS / RadSec, allowing encrypted communication with compatible RADIUS infrastructure.

Client Device Isolation

UniFi client isolation can prevent connected wireless devices from communicating directly with one another where network policy requires it.

This can be particularly useful on:

• Guest WiFi
• Hotel networks
• Public access networks
• Shared accommodation networks

WiFi Speed Limiting

The U7-IW supports WiFi speed limiting through the UniFi platform.

Administrators can use this functionality where bandwidth needs to be controlled for particular users or network groups.

WiFi Scheduling

UniFi WiFi schedules are supported, allowing administrators to configure wireless availability according to operational requirements.

This can be useful for:

• Business opening hours
• Guest networks
• Temporary networks
• Controlled access environments

Managed Through UniFi Network

The U7 In-Wall is part of the Ubiquiti UniFi ecosystem and is centrally configured through UniFi Network.

Ubiquiti currently specifies:

• UniFi Network 9.0.114 or later

UniFi Network Provides Centralised Management

Depending on the overall UniFi deployment, administrators can manage:

• Access points
• SSIDs
• Clients
• VLANs
• Guest networks
• Roaming
• WiFi channels
• Transmit power
• Bandwidth policies
• Firmware

UniFi Mobile App Support

Ubiquiti also supports device management through current versions of the UniFi mobile application.

At the time of the current manufacturer specification, minimum listed application versions are:

• iOS 10.20.2 or later
• Android 10.21.7 or later

Software requirements may increase over time as UniFi Network is updated.

Is the U7 In-Wall a Router?

No.

The U7-IW is primarily a wireless access point with an integrated Ethernet switch.

It does not replace the internet router or gateway responsible for functions such as:

• Internet routing
• WAN connectivity
• Firewalling
• DHCP in a typical UniFi architecture

A suitable router or UniFi gateway is normally required as part of the complete network.

Does the U7 In-Wall Need a UniFi Gateway?

A UniFi Cloud Gateway provides the most integrated UniFi experience, but the essential requirement is access to a compatible UniFi Network application for adoption and management.

Network architecture can vary depending on whether UniFi Network is hosted on a UniFi console, gateway or another supported platform.

Can It Work with a Non-Ubiquiti Router?

The access point connects to an Ethernet network and can be deployed in networks using third-party routing equipment, provided a compatible UniFi Network management environment is available.

However, using a complete UniFi environment can provide more integrated visibility and management.

Does the U7 In-Wall Include a 2.5GbE Switch?

Yes.

Ubiquiti describes the product as having an integrated 2.5GbE PoE switch.

The hardware specification lists three 2.5GbE RJ45 network interfaces in total.

Can I Connect a Games Console by Ethernet?

Yes.

A compatible Ethernet device can be connected to an available wired port on the integrated switch.

The actual negotiated Ethernet rate depends on the connected device.

For example, a games console with a 1GbE interface will operate at its own supported Ethernet speed rather than automatically becoming a 2.5GbE device.

Can I Connect a Smart TV?

Yes.

A compatible smart TV can connect either:

• Wirelessly over WiFi
• Through an available Ethernet connection

This flexibility is particularly useful in hotel and bedroom installations.

Can I Connect an IP Phone?

A compatible IP phone can use one of the integrated Ethernet connections.

If the phone requires PoE, check its exact power requirements and the U7-IW's upstream PoE+ power availability before relying on the downstream PoE output.

Can I Connect Another Access Point?

Ethernet connectivity may be used for compatible network devices, but network topology and PoE requirements should be planned carefully.

For larger installations, connecting access points individually to a managed PoE switch is generally easier to monitor and power-budget than building long chains of powered devices.

Maximum 8dBi 5GHz Antenna Gain

The U7-IW's relatively strong 5GHz antenna specification is useful for a wall-mounted AP designed to direct useful signal into a room or coverage area.

However, antenna gain alone does not determine real-world range.

Placement and building materials remain critical.

Wall-Mounted Low-Profile Design

The U7 In-Wall measures only approximately:

• 137mm × 98.7mm × 30.2mm

This compact format allows the device to sit neatly against a wall rather than hanging from the ceiling or occupying desk space.

Metal Wall Mount Included

Ubiquiti specifies a metal wall mount as included with the access point.

The mount is manufactured from aluminium alloy.

400g Lightweight Design

The U7-IW weighs approximately:

• 400g / 14.1oz

Enclosure Materials

Ubiquiti specifies a combination of:

• Polycarbonate
• Aluminium alloy

for the enclosure, with an aluminium-alloy wall mount.

System Status LED

The access point includes a system status LED using:

• White
• Blue

indications for device status.

Operating Temperature

Ubiquiti specifies an ambient operating-temperature range of:

• -30°C to 40°C
• -22°F to 104°F

Operating Humidity

The supported ambient humidity range is:

• 5% to 95% non-condensing

Indoor Installation

The U7 In-Wall is designed primarily as a wall-mounted indoor access point.

Ubiquiti does not publish an outdoor IP weatherproof rating for the U7-IW in its current technical specification.

It should therefore not be treated as an outdoor weatherproof access point.

NDAA Compliant

Ubiquiti currently lists the U7-IW as NDAA compliant.

This can be relevant to organisations with procurement requirements relating to network infrastructure.

Regulatory Certifications

Current Ubiquiti technical data lists certifications including:

• CE
• FCC
• IC
• SRRC
• Anatel

Applicable certification and available radio settings can vary according to regional product version and regulatory domain.

U7 In-Wall vs U7 Pro Wall

The similarly named U7 In-Wall and U7 Pro Wall are designed for different priorities.

U7 In-Wall

• Dual-band 2.4GHz + 5GHz
• 4 spatial streams
• Up to 4.3Gbps on 5GHz
• Integrated 2.5GbE switch
• Three 2.5GbE RJ45 interfaces
• Single downstream PoE output
• 115m² manufacturer-rated coverage
• 200+ clients
• Designed particularly for hospitality and room-level deployment

U7 Pro Wall

• Includes a 6GHz radio
• 6 spatial streams
• Higher wireless radio capacity
• Designed as a dedicated high-performance wall-mounted access point

Choose the U7 In-Wall when local multi-gigabit Ethernet switching and PoE passthrough are important.

Consider a U7 Pro Wall-class access point when 6GHz WiFi is the greater priority.

U7 In-Wall vs a Separate Access Point and Switch

The U7-IW's main advantage is integration.

Separate AP and Switch

A conventional setup may require:

• One access point
• One Ethernet switch
• Additional power arrangements
• More cables
• More physical installation space

U7 In-Wall

The U7-IW combines wireless access and local Ethernet switching into one wall-mounted unit.

This can reduce installation clutter in hotel rooms, bedrooms, apartments and offices.

Is a 2.5GbE Switch Required?

A 2.5GbE upstream network connection is recommended if you want to take full advantage of the U7-IW's multi-gigabit Ethernet capability.

The device may negotiate lower Ethernet rates with compatible equipment, but an upstream network limited to 1Gbps becomes a potential bottleneck for aggregate WiFi traffic.

Do I Need Cat6 Ethernet Cable?

Cabling suitability depends on cable category, installation quality, run length and network environment.

For new multi-gigabit installations, correctly installed Cat6 or better cabling is commonly preferred.

Existing cabling should be tested rather than assuming multi-gigabit performance solely from the category printed on the cable.

Is 200+ Client Support Useful at Home?

A home installation is unlikely to require 200 active users, but modern households can accumulate many connected devices including:

• Phones
• Tablets
• Laptops
• TVs
• Speakers
• Cameras
• Smart switches
• IoT sensors
• Games consoles

The high client ceiling therefore provides useful capacity even outside hospitality environments.

Does WiFi 7 Improve Older Devices?

An older WiFi 5 or WiFi 6 device will not become a WiFi 7 client simply because it connects to a WiFi 7 access point.

However, a modern access point can still improve overall network design through:

• Improved radio management
• Higher-capacity infrastructure
• 2.5GbE backhaul
• Modern roaming features
• Centralised management

Each client operates according to the wireless standards it supports.

Does the U7-IW Provide Internet?

The U7 In-Wall distributes network connectivity but does not create an internet service by itself.

A complete network normally also requires:

• Internet service
• Modem or ONT where required
• Router or gateway
• Network switching
• PoE power
• UniFi Network management

What Is Required to Install the U7 In-Wall?

A typical installation requires:

• Ubiquiti U7-IW access point
• Suitable Ethernet cabling
• Compatible PoE source
• Network router or gateway
• UniFi Network management environment
• Suitable wall mounting location

If downstream PoE output is required, the access point must receive PoE+ input.

Basic Installation Process

1. Prepare the Ethernet Connection

Run the network cable to the planned wall-mounting location.

2. Install the Metal Wall Mount

Secure the included mounting hardware appropriately for the wall construction.

3. Connect the PoE Ethernet Cable

6. Configure WiFi and Network Policies

Configure SSIDs, VLANs, guest policies and radio settings according to the network design.

7. Test Coverage and Throughput

Test the finished installation from actual client locations rather than relying only on theoretical coverage figures.

Who Is the U7 In-Wall Best For?

• Hotels
• Hospitality businesses
• Student accommodation
• Apartment developments
• Home builders
• Home offices
• Bedrooms
• Meeting rooms
• Business offices
• Users wanting WiFi and local Ethernet from one device

Important Dual-Band WiFi 7 Note

The U7 In-Wall supports WiFi 7 on 2.4GHz and 5GHz but does not include a 6GHz radio.

Do not describe the U7-IW as a tri-band or 6GHz access point.

Important 4.3Gbps Speed Note

The advertised maximum 4.3Gbps figure is a theoretical 5GHz WiFi PHY data rate using compatible WiFi 7 hardware and the appropriate channel configuration.

It is not a guaranteed internet speed or guaranteed single-device transfer rate.

Important 240MHz Channel Note

The U7-IW supports WiFi 7 EHT channels up to 240MHz.

It does not provide the 320MHz 6GHz channel configuration available on certain tri-band WiFi 7 access points.

Important 2.5GbE Port Note

The U7 In-Wall has three 2.5GbE RJ45 network interfaces in total.

Actual Ethernet speed is negotiated with the connected device, so equipment supporting only 1GbE will continue to operate at its own maximum supported rate.

Important PoE Output Note

The U7-IW can itself operate from PoE, but PoE+ input is required if its downstream PoE output is to be used.

The upstream PoE switch or injector must have sufficient power budget for both the U7-IW and any downstream powered device.

Important Power Consumption Note

Ubiquiti specifies maximum U7-IW consumption of 13W excluding downstream PoE output.

If another device is powered through the U7-IW, additional PoE budget will be required.

Important Coverage Note

The manufacturer-rated coverage figure of approximately 115m² / 1,250ft² is a planning reference rather than a guaranteed coverage radius.

Walls, building materials, interference, mounting position and client hardware can significantly change real-world performance.

Important Client Count Note

The 200+ maximum client figure should not be interpreted as guaranteeing full-speed simultaneous service to more than 200 heavy-data users.

Actual network capacity depends on traffic patterns, radio conditions, channel availability and the wider network infrastructure.

Important UniFi Management Note

The U7-IW is designed to be adopted and managed through UniFi Network.

Ubiquiti currently specifies UniFi Network version 9.0.114 or later. Software requirements can change over the life of the product, so keeping the UniFi environment updated is recommended.

Important Router Note

The U7 In-Wall is not an internet router or standalone modem.

A suitable network gateway/router and internet connection are required for normal internet access.

Important Outdoor Use Note

The U7-IW does not have a manufacturer-listed outdoor weatherproof IP rating.

It should not be treated as an outdoor access point. For exposed outdoor installation, use a UniFi model specifically designed and rated for outdoor conditions.

Why Choose the Ubiquiti UniFi U7 In-Wall?

The Ubiquiti UniFi U7 In-Wall combines next-generation WiFi 7 with multi-gigabit wired networking in an unusually compact wall-mounted package.

Its dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz radios provide four spatial streams and up to 4.3Gbps theoretical 5GHz WiFi 7 performance, while the 2.5GbE uplink helps prevent a conventional 1GbE connection from becoming an unnecessary bottleneck.

The integrated 2.5GbE switch is a major advantage for rooms that need both wireless and wired connectivity. PCs, smart TVs, games consoles, IP phones and other Ethernet devices can connect locally without installing a separate desktop switch.

PoE-powered installation reduces cabling and removes the need for a local mains adapter beside the AP, while PoE+ input can additionally enable the U7-IW's single downstream PoE output for a compatible powered device.

Manufacturer-rated coverage of up to 115m² and support for more than 200 connected clients make the U7-IW suitable for demanding room-level deployments, while wireless meshing, band steering, fast roaming, guest-network isolation, captive portals, PPSK and RADIUS-based VLAN assignment provide advanced UniFi management capabilities.

Its compact 137 × 98.7 × 30.2mm wall-mounted enclosure is particularly well suited to hotels, apartments, student accommodation, offices and high-specification homes where clean installation is important.

Choose the Ubiquiti UniFi U7 In-Wall U7-IW when you need a dual-band WiFi 7 access point with a 2.5GbE uplink, integrated multi-gigabit Ethernet switch, PoE passthrough capability, 4 spatial streams, room-level wall mounting and centralised UniFi Network management.
