for iOS, does it require SG credit card / address to change region ? and how soon can it be changed back to Malaysia ?

No, you can choose to add no payment method

And as far as I know, theres no cooldown and you should only need to do it once to DL the app, and it will receive updates from there automatically

Prerequisites is you can not have any active subscription tied to the account you want to swap region on

You can just create a throwaway Apple account (better pick US for this) and you can just change just the apple purchase login to that first, download and then change back to your main one.

3 more AP (1 U7 Pro, 2 TBD), one doorbell PoE, and the system is fully finished to my ideal plan. Maybe adding another NVR down the line to offload recording load off my CK

How is the U7 Pro and Wifi 7?

Honestly I thought the 2x2 is gonna be bad but currently it’s been great.

Not much devices with 4x4 and I don’t foresee any of my family members have devices that comes with 4x4 antennas on their phone, even my 15 Pro only has 2x2 6E

Speed wise quite comparable to my previous WiFi 6 EAP670, with less coverage I’d say unfortunately as some previous spots can get WiFi well enough but with U7 can’t but at least it’s more cohesive with my Unifi system. So I can add more down the line to improve coverage and it will work

But I will consider going higher if a U7E ever comes up but for now it’s good, tho I do hope they come out with an outdoor rated AP as I need one of that, currently my choice is only the U6 Mesh..

But a caveat, I’ve noticed currently weirdly with PPSK (VLAN segregation) some of my devices won’t get internet until I force them to reconnect and wait, and the AP will just fail to adopt if you got some rules and stuff and you have to hard reset multiple times for it to adopt. I think that issue partially has something to do with the 6GHz band causing issues with it just freaking out, hopefully there will be a better firmware that fixes these issues down the line

I was surprised when I notice 4x4 missing from U7 Pro, I thought only lite version will have 2x2. But then again, 2x2 works fine for most household. 4x4 will be useful for bigger deployment. For the adoption issue, most likely can fix with Network application or the device firmware.

just wondering, how did you order the U7 pro? shopee does not have it listed. also ubiquiti website doesn't have malaysia in shipping destination i believe. and did you perhaps have to do the customs permit to order from overseas? or did you somehow manage to find a local seller for this?


did you see the review? it's missing some feature


@9:30


if not mistaken it's a feature added in a unifi app controller update, not a hardware revision


also this. 2024 might not be the best time to get wifi 7, but 2025 might be though.




also on amazon i saw a few reviews saying this about the u7 pro




the other wifi 7 options



based on the comments, seems like the ubiquiti is similar to the eero where they have some sort of odd connectivity issue.

but something like the tplink deco seems to just work, but has a privacy issue


anyway curious what is your personal experience with the u7 pro? any connectivity issue? and what speeds are you getting

Hopefully, they legit need to roll put better firmware cuz this is not it

I live in Johor but work in SG, so I did not smuggle them in my bag to cross customs.

For review, so far I've not dived into any particular reviews, just kinda went in blind, currently my experience is basically on par with EAP670, 6GHz short range but thats expected

Main thing is really just the cohesiveness of the whole ecosystem with other Ubiquiti stuff, instead of being in two diff ecosystems.

Another thing I've noticed is PPSK with VLAN is really REALLY shotty, some devices works fine but some don't, they would connect to eg. Secure VLAN and get an IP address just fine but internet just wouldnt work, how much of it is just me being dumb with my setup or really just early adopter shit (Pro Max 24 PoE with U7 Pro) idk, but that is the main annoying thing and my fam has been pestering me over it as I want to segregate devices on my network , and their devices sometimes just freaks out and doesnt work

Otherwise I really like it so far, but not the heat but cant avoid that really

no wonder then. yes they do ship to singapore i saw that. no luck here

i saw mention that some devices will have issue connecting to the u7 pro. so some commenters mentioned setting up the different wifi (using the same ssid?) so that the device will be able to connect. I think the issue was, for compatibility, some devices wouldn't be able to connect to wpa3, so you need one for wpa2? or some such.

Well in all likelihood, your fam or guests may not have as sanitized devices as you do. so you may want to segregrate them by setting up a guest wifi vlan so they can connect to that for internet to keep them isolated away from your trusted private network.

With something like tplink deco mesh, setting up a guest network vlan is easy, but with youtube shouldn't be hard for ubiquiti unifi, just extra steps xd.

yes you are correct. this particular u7 pro, they added a fan for it due to heat. the previous wifi6 and wifi 5 aps did not have a fan.

someone posted a teardown

I already do have a fallback SSID without management if the one with PPSK fails. And PPSK inherently doesn't work with WPA3 so I just have default WPA2 on the SSID with PPSK.

And that's my intent, I don't want any random device just gaining access to my main network by doing a bruteforce attack on my WiFi lol.

Speaking is easy but there's no indication on what the issue with since it works but sometimes it don't, which is the frustrating part. I have 5 VLANs for stuff and some devices work and some don't

interested in unifi express. any distributor that i can reach out to?

Just buy from US and use a shipping forwarder

No local distributor that I know distribute Unifi servers officially, I can help you buy from SG and ship out to you but extra charges applies, RM700 converted before shipping and other charges, DM if you're interested, might only be collectable from next week onwards as it's already weekends

yeah that is hard to troubleshoot.

but from what i read it could be a few things


1. maybe the device only works on 2.4ghz example i have a yeelight with this specific requirement

2. might not support wpa3. so have to do wpa2 for some devices. some people suggested creating a 2nd ssid that uses WPA2 specifically. not sure what other configurations would work, but it's something to investigated further.

3. for vlan this add another extra layer of complexity. my own is setup so that private network can talk to iot, but the iot cannot talk to my private network. I use avahi and firewall rules to achieve this ontop of vlan.

Comgateway and buyandship are both decent, i have used both to buy Ubiquiti items and ship to MY.

does the plug works here?

detailed review for u7 pro




half throughput for vlan..... 6hz not stable

Just use a RM1 adapter, or you can use your own local cable the rack mounted stuff usually use the same one as our computer power supplies
