I use two U6 lites for my main WiFi and a U5 inwall for my gaming room because of the integrated switch. But I have a U4 doorbell that barely reaches my APs. So, I will install the Swiss army knife outdoors with direct sight to the doorbell. I waited so long to finally have a cheap versatile outdoor AP available just to cover the Dorbell with sufficient speeds. Ubiquity does a great job developing all the products you could wish for. Either as hobby, homelab, or enterprise. Everyone can find the right product .:)

I don't think it being WiFi5 diminishes its usefulness. There are a lot of situations where WiFi5 is a perfectly good fit. If you're setting up an AP (or multiple) in a location where there aren't many WiFi6 devices, then WiFi5 is a perfectly good choice. This also means that your POE switch can be less powerful, since this thing barely uses power. This will most likely be in small deployments. Larger deployments will definitely want more robust APs.

Unifi's software - though still have improvements - are slow/late in terms of daily requirements. The software architecture should also be revisited because some updates are terrible. They really need to step up as some chinese brand has very similar software features and architecture (controller for SDN with cloud capabillity). easily said: the cost efficient TP-Link. And I once had to embark my customer to TP-Link because of stock unavailability. EnGenius also targeting hotels/hospitals in SEA market. Now, we see RuiJie with the ReeYe models are agressive. Not only RuiJie may give Unifi a run for its money but the Enterprise range is or should be scary to the Ubiquiti line up (even on the carrier market).

I don't see low-cost alone as a good product strategy. Maybe they had a huge bid and developed this for a large corporate or ISP deployment, charged NRE, and decided to throw it into the regular line-up to get incremental sales? I would like to see them do products with different features or capabilities, rather than just price. A plug-and-play PTP Wi-Fi bridge in the low-cost range would be much more valuable. Something to bridge a backyard, detached garage, pool or other home-based application where a wire can't be used. Not competing with the higher-end dedicated pole-mount bridges in UniFi's other product lines or WISP products. With the venerable AP-AC-Pro getting old, there isn't another choice for UniFi AP with two Ethernet ports - one for PoE power injector and a second for local bridging of multiple client devices.

Sure the RJ-45 ports are only one gigabit but this cloud controller supports 30 UniFi devices. With the vast majority of devices in my house using Wi-Fi, it made perfect sense to go with the Cloud Gateway Ultra, Flex Mini Switch, and U7 Pro access point. Great video!
