Our Verdict

UniFi U6 Pro (Wired Backhaul)

UniFi U7 Pro XGS (Wired Backhaul)

The UniFi U7 Pro XGS (Wired Backhaul) is a direct upgrade over the older UniFi U6 Pro (Wired Backhaul). The newer XGS model features Wi-Fi 7 capabilities, adds a 6GHz band, and upgrades its RJ45 uplink port to 10Gbps, compared to the U6 Pro's dual-band Wi-Fi 6 hardware and 1Gbps port.
