Ubiquiti’s new UniFi AirWire (U-AirWire) is both exciting and disappointing. On the one hand, it’s the first Wi-Fi 7 USB “adapter” with super-fast Wi-Fi uplink thanks to support for STR MLO.

Ubiquiti’s UniFi Dream Router 5G Max (model UDR-5G-Max), first announced in late 2025 and now available for purchase, is a unique UniFi Cloud Gateway (a.k.a. “router”).
