This is a teardown of the Ubiquiti U7 Pro Max to see if we still get a cooling fan. Do you think they went with passive cooling this time? #ubiquiti #teardown #accesspoint #wifi7
Those are generic wideband antennas, they'll handle anything usually all the way up to 7Ghz or 10Ghz. They're not tuned for any frequency so they don't do a great job, but they work. There are 3 horizontally polarized and 3 vertically polarized antennas. Strange that the 2G/6G radios are both connected to identically polarized antennas so there's no polarization diversity on 2G/6G. I think those are horizontally polarized too, which is even weirder since most laptops and phones in portrait orientation are usually vertically polarized.
Would love to see a teardown of the U7 Outdoor and see if that has a fan and what kind of water ingress mitigations it has in place. Is it more glue? Rubber Gasket? And if it doesn’t have a fan, what kind of passive cooling system does it use as it could be mounted outside in direct sunlight so could get very cooked!
From what other users have said, the U7 Outdoor also has a cooling fan, so this is the heat management for the entire series. Also, it is IPX6 rated, so there is decent protection from the elements. I can't promise a teardown since I blew the budget on the U7 Pro and the Max already :D. But who knows, maybe Ubiquiti will lend me one.
After seeing that small scuff, I got a bit worried. Not that it matters that much for me since I usually destroy my devices. But hopefully, it was an isolated case.
Awesome! This is a great teardown video. I have a few questions: 1. Is there any gel or adhesive between the top cover and bottom cover of the U7 pro? 2. Do the I-PEX connectors have glue on the PCB?
There is some gel in between the top and the bottom parts of the case, but it's far less than on the U7 Pro. And there is also some gel (or glue) on the I-PEX connectors as well.
I'll fully admit I didn't catch it was eMMC. My bad. My comment wasn't meant to hurt the feelings of an Apple apologist, just point out that it was a lot of RAM for an AP, and if it was RAM it would have been a lot, considering it's 4x what it actually has. If you're happy paying huge mark-ups on parts to buy trendy electronics, and have a company dictate how you can use your computer, more power to ya! I just think differently.
