This week, Ubiquiti has released UniFi AP firmware 8.0.19 which is intended for all U7 access points. Over the past few months, Ubiquiti has had various issues with most of its WiFi 7 access points, related to dropped connectivity, IoT devices becoming unstable and various other problems.

Elsewhere, the consistency of updates and the understanding of which access point models ran which versions got somewhat out of hand too. In the past, one single firmware update would be released for all models, with some occasional delay for certain variants - but it did manage to catch up a few weeks later.

However, with so many varying models now, the disparity between which models get which version is a bit messy. For example, the top end U7 Pro Max didn't see a GA release between August and now, whereas the U7 Pro saw various updates in December and January.

8.0.19 makes the jump from the 7.x releases and various 8.x versions have been in testing for around a month. 8.0.19 runs on the following models:

• U7 Pro
• U7 Pro Wall
• U7 Pro Max
• U7 Pro Outdoor
• U7 Outdoor
• U7 Lite
• U7 In Wall

On the community release post, Ubiquiti says that this update adds support for Multi-Link Operation (MLO) on supported models, as well as much needed stability improments for 2.4GHz IoT devices.
