U7 Lite
Model: U7-LITE
The Ubiquiti UniFi U7 Lite (U7-LITE) is a next-generation, compact ceiling-mounted wireless access point that leverages cutting-edge Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) technology. Operating on dual bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), the device delivers an ultra-fast combined wireless throughput of up to 5 Gbps (including 4.3 Gbps on the 5 GHz band). Despite its small form factor, it is perfectly suited for delivering highly reliable and fast Wi-Fi coverage in homes and small-to-medium-sized offices.
The access point comes equipped with a 2.5 GbE RJ45 uplink port, effectively eliminating network bottlenecks and fully unlocking the multi-gigabit potential of Wi-Fi 7 speeds. It effortlessly supports over 200 concurrent clients and provides a robust coverage area of approximately 115 square meters (1,250 sq ft). The U7 Lite is powered via standard PoE, mounts easily to a ceiling or wall, and is seamlessly managed and configured through the centralized UniFi Network application.
Ubiquiti’s UniFi U7 Lite is a compact, ceiling-mounted Wi‑Fi 7 access point that delivers fast, reliable wireless connectivity in a small form factor. Leveraging the latest Wi‑Fi 7 (802.11be) technology and dual-band operation (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), the U7 Lite provides a significant throughput boost over the previous generation while retaining simple PoE-powered installation.

The UniFi U7 Lite is an excellent choice for home and office wireless networks that demand high performance at an affordable price point. With support for over 200 concurrent devices and coverage of around 115 m² (1250 ft²) per unit, a single U7 Lite can provide connectivity for a mid-sized space. For larger areas or dense environments, multiple U7 Lite APs can be deployed to extend coverage or create a mesh network for seamless Wi‑Fi across the entire location.
As part of the UniFi ecosystem, the U7 Lite is managed centrally via the UniFi Network application, allowing unified configuration and monitoring alongside other UniFi access points, switches, and gateways. It supports the latest network management features such as guest Wi‑Fi with captive portal and client isolation, VLAN tagging, Wi‑Fi scheduling, and more. Please note that managing the U7 Lite requires a UniFi Network controller running version 9.0.114 or newer (e.g. a UniFi Dream Machine or Cloud Key with updated firmware).
