Question about Ubiquiti U7-Pro
I intend to screw the appliance to the wall. However, this appliance is marketed as being designed to be screwed to the ceiling (?). Would there be any disadvantages if it were mounted on the wall? Alternatively, a wall version has recently become available (https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/ubiquiti-u7-pro-wall-4324-mbits-access-point-46320107), but costs a little more. Is it just the form factor that is different, or are there actual technical differences?
Helpful answer
I also have these APs on the wall and have already equipped an entire school in this way, it works. Of course, the dispersion behaviour would be better on the ceiling because the APs don't radiate like a "hemisphere" but more like a "donut". This means that the output is slightly lower directly in front of them, but in my opinion this doesn't play a major role.
I have a U7 Pro Wall stuck to the wall and another on the desktop stand - both work great
Feasible yes, sensible no, because the radiation pattern is distorted.
Then the wall AP is better.
