If you are curious whether Ubiquiti ditched the fan on the new U7 Pro Max, well, I have some bad news for you. I opened the device and this is the teardown video.

I bought several before knowing what I was getting into. They work well but are designed by people worshiping Apple. Everything is locked into their ecosystem. You can't even ssl into the access point to configure it. You need to run their Java controller app to configure them or worse buy another product (cloud key) just to configure the access points you purchased. Then they try really hard to get you to setup your network admin password on their cloud servers ( they have already had security breaches where the passwords leaked).

For a small businesses that pay someone off-site to manage their network they seem fantastic. But they are the opposite of homelab ethos.

But again, they work really well. The access points do channel strength negotiation automatically every night by talking to each other.

I was able to SSH into mine and I'm running their Docker container with a Unifi Controller instead of a cloud key.

If you were actually able to set it up via ssh, then you should be able to point me to the documentation for the Ubiquity AP cli.

I'm not sure if you are a fanboi or a shill but it is dishonest to claim that you say you could configure your Ubiquity AP when Ubiquity itself refuses to provide documentation of the cli interface.

Another poster said the same thing and linked to the same thread I found years ago which says in effect, "There is no official cli documentation for the APs. You might be able to sneak a few commands by digging through the forums."

I never said that.

I'm on Ubiquity's payroll, definitely. I'm expecting a check in the mail any day now.
