Good. 7 is a pain in the ass to deploy and very fussy. I'm this close to killing my 6hrz shit.

I'm on 6, very stable and fast enough for me (like over half a gbit), is 7 just worse?

7s the exact same. 7 added the ability to combine 2.4 5 and 6ghz bands into one connection. But in my experience the speed difference vs just 6ghz is negligible. Instead of 2gig over WiFi you get closer to 2.4. Woo.

I have UniFi 7 Pro and killing 6ghz fixed the constant connection dropouts.
