What one Redditor said

You should go for u7. They work pretty fine inside a 3 level German house.

From each switch you can connect your normal devices, including the access points. https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/all-wifi/products/u7-lite

Since one of the recent updates for either the Network App or the Cloud Gateway, I have a memory leak on the U7 Lite. When I restart it, the RAM is around 70–75% and then slowly but steady climbs to 9

r/Ubiquitipositive2

They work great.

r/Ubiquitineutral2

I bet most of the improvements you are seeing are because U7 lite uses the same chipset as most UI devices.

r/Ubiquitipositive1

Nevertheless, I will keep it as backup and continue to use the U7 Lite

r/Ubiquitineutral57

The U7 Lite is not just WiFi 6.

r/Ubiquitineutral6

You still get some of the other aspects of the standard with thr U7 Lite

r/Ubiquitineutral2

I have a WiFi 7 capable device, a U7 lite, WPA3 is enabled on the SSID and my client is still connecting via WiFi 6 so it seems I'm still missing something

r/Ubiquitineutral2

Is it possible to disable wifi7 in the u7 lite to improve compatibility and make mobile roaming easier to the u6 pro also in the house?

r/Ubiquitinegative1

For mlo with the u7lite is a but sad that you not can have a cumulative Band 5GHZ and 6GHz together.

r/Ubiquitinegative142

Also remember the U7 Lite doesn't have 6GHz, so speeds will be limited to the maximum of 5GHz and possibly even more by interference from neighbors.

r/Ubiquitineutral3

It's pretty much all there at the bottom of the product page

r/Ubiquitinegative9

Cheap ones kill PoE over distance. Seen this dozens of times with U7 Lites.

r/Ubiquitinegative86

Not worth it as u7 lite doesn’t support 6 GHz, which would be the real benefit.

r/Ubiquitineutral22

Thought about upgrading to the U7 Lite but I wouldn’t notice a difference, that side of the home only has streaming devices and my bandwidth is only 300x300, and I get every bit of that with the UAP A
