Ubiquiti UniFi Wi-Fi 6 Mesh
Score: 83/100
TP-Link EAP720
Score: 87/100Rankings
The TP-Link EAP720 (BE5000) brings Wi-Fi 7 performance with up to 5 Gbps aggregate speed, 2.5 Gbps PoE+ Ethernet, and comprehensive mesh and IoT features. Its higher power draw and newer technology may increase cost and power-budget requirements. Targeted at SMBs seeking cutting-edge wireless capacity.
The Ubiquiti UniFi U6-Mesh is a Wi-Fi 6 mesh-capable AP providing up to 5.3 Gbps aggregate throughput and IPX5-rated weatherproofing for indoor and outdoor use. Its single 1 GbE uplink and limited 2.4 GHz MIMO may constrain very high-density scenarios. Perfect for deployments requiring robust mesh coverage and UniFi integration.
