Ubiquiti UniFi Wi-Fi 6 Mesh
Score: 83/100
TP-Link EAP723
Score: 85/100Rankings
The TP-Link EAP723 is a ceiling-mount Wi-Fi 7 AP offering up to 5 Gbps combined throughput and 2.5 G PoE+ connectivity for high-density environments. Its dual-band design omits the 6 GHz band and it does not include a PoE injector, which may limit some installations. Best suited for businesses and large homes that need future-proof Wi-Fi 7 performance with centralized Omada management.
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.

Professional commentary is limited to vendor-provided statements, which emphasize the U6-Mesh's best-in-class meshing capability, high-capacity 160 MHz uplinks, and deep integration with the UniFi management platform, positioning it as a strong choice for enterprise-grade mesh deployments.
Professional reviewers commend the EAP723 for its future-proof Wi-Fi 7 performance, ultra-low latency, and robust Omada cloud management, noting that its slim ceiling form factor and high client capacity make it ideal for dense office, classroom, or hotel deployments, though they point out the missing 6 GHz band as a limitation.
Consumer sentiment is overwhelmingly positive based on retailer scores, with users highlighting the high speed, easy PoE installation, and unobtrusive ceiling design, but the scarcity of detailed user reviews leaves some uncertainty about long-term reliability.
