The must rules

16 rules every install follows, in the order of this page. 6 more rules are the default with a written exception.

Wi-Fi is designed for how many people use an area, not just for a signal in every corner. Start from the house spacing, check it with a predictive design, install, then prove it with a walk survey. Every access point is a UniFi U7 Pro, or a U7 Pro Max where people gather.

How many and where

4 rules

The spacing is a house starting point, inside the range public enterprise guides give (about 110 to 185 m² of open office per access point). A predictive design and a survey decide the final positions.

A 30 by 20 metre floor: four access points on a grid over the open office, about 12 metres apart, one in the large meeting room, and a Cat6A run from the comms room to each.Meeting room14 seatsCommsOpen office, 460 m²: 4 access points12 m between access points

Comms roomNoneNoneNo clients there; covered from the corridor

Areas are measured from the floor plan in Keia Atlas. Walls of glass, concrete or lift shafts need more access points, which the predictive design shows.

MustHouse choice

Plan one access point per 150 m² of open office and one in every meeting room with 12 or more seats, then adjust with a predictive design before any cable is pulled.

Why
Designing for people and calls, not just signal, avoids a floor that shows full bars but stalls at 10 a.m.
How to check
The predictive design shows -65 dBm or better on 5 GHz over every working area, with the access point count at or above the house figure.

Source Meraki Wireless for Enterprise Best Practices, Optimizing WiFi Connectivity and Reducing Latency

MustHouse choice

Design for at least -65 dBm on 5 GHz from the nearest access point and -70 dBm from a second one everywhere people work.

Why
The second access point is what a device roams to; -65 dBm is the level UniFi recommends for steady connections.
How to check
The post-install walk survey heat maps, saved in the handover pack.

Source Optimizing WiFi Connectivity and Reducing Latency

MustHouse choice

Walk the floor with a survey tool after install and before handover, and fix any area below the signal target.

Why
Furniture, glass and people change the design; only a survey shows the real result.
How to check
Survey report in the handover pack with no area below target.
ShouldHouse choice

Use the U7 Pro Max where more than 50 people gather, and the U7 Pro everywhere else.

Why
The Max has twice the 5 GHz streams and a dedicated spectral scanner; elsewhere the Pro does the job for less money and power.
How to check
The models in Keia Atlas match the table for each area.

Source Access Point U7 Pro, Access Point U7 Pro Max

Mounting

4 rules
ShouldHouse choice

Where the ceiling is open or higher than 4.5 m, hang the access point on a rod or drop it to the level of the light fittings.

Why
Keeps it within its designed height above the desks.
How to check
Measured height is 4.5 m or less.

Source Access Point and Antenna Placement

MustHouse choice

Keep at least 1 m from metal ducts, cable trays, lights and beams, and never mount above a ceiling tile.

Why
Metal and tiles block and bounce the signal, and a hidden access point cannot be seen or reached.
How to check
Walk the ceiling with the as-built plan.
ShouldHouse choice

Fix the mount to the ceiling tile with the manufacturer's tile kit or to a junction box, never hung from the ceiling grid alone.

Why
A falling access point is a safety risk, and a loose one moves out of its designed position.
How to check
Inspection before the ceiling is signed off.

Source WiFi Access Point (AP) Ceiling Mounts

Cable and power

4 rules
MustHouse choice

Run one Cat6A cable from the comms room to each access point position, ending on a jack in the ceiling, with a patch cord of up to 3 m to the access point.

Why
Cat6A carries 2.5 Gb/s today and 10 Gb/s later, and a jack means the access point can be swapped without re-terminating the cable. TIA's access point guidance recommends Cat6A to each position on a grid.
How to check
The certification report lists a passing Cat6A link for every access point position.

Source TIA TSB-162-B

ShouldHouse choice

Pull a second Cat6A only where the design expects a second access point or a higher-power model within the building's life, and record it as a spare.

Why
One cable is the house choice for cost; some designers pull two to every position for future access points, and this is where we do.
How to check
Spare runs are labelled and terminated at both ends.

Source TIA TSB-162-B

Must

Power each access point with PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) from a 2.5 GbE switch port and count 25.5 W per access point in the switch's PoE budget.

Why
The U7 Pro draws up to 21 W and the Pro Max up to 25 W; a plain PoE (802.3af) port cannot run them.
How to check
The controller shows each access point uplinked at 2.5 Gb/s on a PoE+ port.

Source PoE Availability and Modes

MustHouse choice

Set the switch port to the management VLAN for the access point itself and tag every VLAN its Wi-Fi networks use.

Why
Each network lands on its own VLAN at the switch; nothing is bridged on the access point.
How to check
The Port Profile in the controller matches the VLAN plan.

Source Creating UniFi WiFi SSIDs

Wi-Fi networks (SSIDs)

3 rules

Three networks, the same names and VLANs in every office. Fewer networks means less airtime spent on beacons.

The Wi-Fi networks (house choice)
NameSecurityVLANBandsFor
AignaWPA3-Enterprise (802.1X)20 Corporate6, 5 and 2.4 GHzStaff
Aigna-DevicesWPA2/WPA3 personal with a key per device (PPSK)30 Room systems, 31 Displays, 50 Building5 and 2.4 GHzRoom and building devices that need Wi-Fi
Aigna-GuestWPA2/WPA3 personal, key changed monthly, clients isolated90 Guest5 and 2.4 GHzVisitors

6 GHz requires WPA3, which older devices lack, so the device and guest networks stay on 5 and 2.4 GHz.

MustHouse choice

Broadcast only the three house networks, with the names, security and VLANs in the table.

Why
Every extra network costs airtime on every channel; UniFi also advises against many networks.
How to check
The controller lists exactly three networks per site.

Source Broadcasting Multiple WiFi SSIDs

Must

Use WPA3 on any network that includes 6 GHz, and keep devices that cannot do WPA3 on the device network.

Why
6 GHz only allows WPA3 with protected management frames.
How to check
The staff network shows WPA3 and 6 GHz enabled.

Source Getting Started with 6 GHz

MustHouse choice

Isolate guest clients from each other and let the guest VLAN reach only the internet.

Why
A visitor's laptop must not see another visitor's, or anything of Aigna's.
How to check
From a guest device, another guest device and the office printers are unreachable.

Radio settings

7 rules
MustHouse choice

Use 20 MHz on 2.4 GHz (channels 1, 6 and 11 only), 40 MHz on 5 GHz (20 MHz in town halls and cafeterias) and 160 MHz on 6 GHz.

Why
Narrower channels give more channels to spread neighbouring access points across, which matters more in an office than the top speed of one link.
How to check
The controller's radio settings for every access point.

Source Optimizing WiFi Connectivity and Reducing Latency, High Density Wi-Fi Deployments

ShouldHouse choice

Leave minimum RSSI off unless a survey shows devices clinging to a far access point, then set it per access point from the survey.

Why
One value everywhere disconnects devices that were fine; UniFi advises tuning it only with care.
How to check
Minimum RSSI is off, or its value is in the survey report.

Source Understanding and Implementing Minimum RSSI

MustHouse choice

Run Channel AI after install, review its plan, then keep it on with the office's change window as its schedule.

Why
It spreads channels across neighbours using what each access point hears, without changing width or power.
How to check
The controller shows Channel AI on and the last plan applied.

Source UniFi Channel AI and Automated WiFi Optimization

MustHouse choice

Turn off automatic updates and roll out the access point release the Lab has passed, in the office's change window.

Why
An update restarts every access point on the floor at once.
How to check
Every access point runs the fleet standard firmware.
MustHouse choice

Name each access point site-room-ap and number (for example dub-305-ap01), with the room or area it covers.

Why
The same name finds it on the floor plan, in the controller and in Keia Atlas.
How to check
The controller's device names match Keia Atlas.
