Ubiquiti U7 Pro Max WiFi 7 Access Point Teardown: To fan or not to fan

If you are curious whether Ubiquiti ditched the fan on the new U7 Pro Max, well, I have some bad news for you. I opened the device and this is the teardown video.

Good luck if you don't have a dream machine and you aren't using 192.168.0.0/16. If the APs don't find a dream machine they won't get an IP from DHCP for some godforsaken reason and revert to 192.168.1.20 and won't do anything until you configure them with ssh. Except you have to ssh on a lan that doesn't exist which is a huge pita. This is why I have omada APs now.
I don’t have a Dream Machine nor a 192.168.0.0/16 network but my access point receives an IP via DHCP from a non-Ubiquiti router just fine. In fact, the controller running in Docker doesn’t even come up itself after a power failure so I’m really lost on what you’re talking about here.
Well I'm glad that the unifi APs like your setup better than they liked mine. Maybe they fixed it in the last 2 years. Either way there's no way I'm buying anything else from them.
I can’t fault you for that. I’m not trying argue they’re perfect devices by any means.
