I’m moving from a UniFi enterprise LAN system to an X Switch and a couple of AP7s. Right now, I’m using the Gold Plus as my router with a UniFi Enterprise switch, Cloud Key controller, a UniFi Enterprise access point, and a UniFi Mesh access point.

My system handles about 40 Wi-Fi devices, and sometimes it’s closer to 50 depending on what I have on the system. In prior years, I noticed that some other brands didn’t necessarily handle that many devices well. I would get access points that needed to be rebooted because they were dropping devices, and it seemed like those devices and their CPUs were getting overloaded.

I presently run two VLANs as Wi-Fi networks, along with two 2.4 GHz channels, two 5 GHz channels, and one 6 GHz channel.

Do these AP7s handle that level of Wi-Fi devices relatively well?

  Hi there,

  AP7s should handle it with no issues. In theory, each frequency band can support up to 128 devices, and we do have real-world tests that support >100 devices (mixed type) per AP.

  Good to know as that is plenty of head-room to handle anything I could need.  Regards, Jim
