Step 1: Prepare Mounting Location

Determine the desired mounting location for the UniFi U7 Pro XGS. If mounting to a ceiling, use the provided template to mark the drill holes. Ensure the location allows for proper Wi-Fi signal distribution.

Diagram Description: A circular template (b) is shown, indicating a 1x requirement. This template is placed on a surface, and drill points are marked.

Step 2: Drill Mounting Holes

Using a drill with a 5 mm (03/16") drill bit, drill holes at the marked locations on the ceiling or wall. If mounting into a solid surface, insert the provided anchors into the holes.

Diagram Description: A drill is shown creating holes in a surface. The holes are sized at 5 mm (03/16").

Step 3: Secure Mounting Bracket

Attach the mounting bracket (d) to the surface using the provided screws (e). Ensure the bracket is securely fastened.

Step 7: Final Check

Verify that the UniFi U7 Pro XGS is securely mounted and the Ethernet cable is properly connected.

Diagram Description: The installed UniFi device is shown on the ceiling mount, with the Ethernet cable connected.

Step 8: Network Configuration

The UniFi U7 Pro XGS requires configuration through the UniFi Network Application. This can be done via a UniFi Cloud Gateway or a UniFi Dream Machine.

Diagram Description: Two network topology examples are shown. Option A: Internet connects to UniFi Cloud Gateway, then to Switching, then to UniFi Access Point (PoE++). Option B: Internet connects to UniFi Cloud Gateway, then to Switching, then to UniFi Access Point.

Step 9: Download UniFi App and Setup

Download the UniFi Network application from the App Store or Google Play. Use the app to discover, adopt, and configure your UniFi U7 Pro XGS.

Diagram Description: Icons for the App Store and Google Play are displayed, with links to download the UniFi application. A smartphone screen shows the UniFi app interface with a UniFi device icon.
