Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Dream Machine Pro

But there are a few drawbacks, and we'll touch on that now. If you need policy-based routing, whole home VPN, such as NordVPN, running over one of you...

380Mbps Down, 38 Mbps Up - hoping to get fiber to my hood one day... Have a Ubiquiti UDM-Pro with three Wifi 6 Unifi APs. I want to buy a PoE+ switch to power these three APs (39W total consumption) they are currently being powered by an injector each.

I'm a net admin for a small-medium sized company. I got a few of these to replace our old no-name PFSENSE edge devices at each of our sites, run our security cameras (unifi protect), and tie everything into the Unifi Network platform. THE GOOD: -It's cheap -nicely built and the software is flashy an...

If you want to expand your network so you've got switches in a few key spots where extra devices are desired plus add phone and security camera functionality while isolating IoT devices onto a segmented and firewalled network and building traffic profiles for all of those devices and ensuring network uptime with redundant paths while preventing packet storms, the prosumer level gear will let you do that. It's got a pretty full suite of network functionality - maybe not as great as the biggest vendors on their latest platforms, but it's pretty full.

I really wanted to love this device. It's very well built, it should have incredible IDS/IPS pass-through speeds, etc. However, it is fundamentally flawed. Here is why... Background: The UMD Pro replaces a number of devices sold individually by Ubiquiti and wraps them into one appliance. (CloudKey, ...

4x4 MIMO vs 2x2 makes a pretty big difference. The UDM Pro is a decent option - it can handle 10G fiber, can be your UniFi controller, has an 8 port switch (not super high performance, but good enough to plug a few home automation hubs and other low end clients into, and getting a bigger switch for other stuff), plus it can run Protect if you want some security cameras down the road.

I purchased one directly from Ubiquiti. It can't do multi-sites, something which isn't obviously advertised. This is silly. The tiny little cloud-key can do multi-site. It REQUIRES an internet connection to setup. You can't use any of the UI until you've connected to the internet. This means that yo...

UDM pro, I believe it supports multi gig transceivers from the sfp+ port

Also could build your own router/firewall

However, I think there a a few consumer grade routers that have 2.5G wan ports

It’s an impressive piece of hardware for the price but the operating system is beyond crippled for a product that labels itself as “pro”. Yes, technically you could say it checks all the boxes but once you start working with it you realize just how many of the features are half-baked at best. Just o...

I've had a UDM-Pro since they were available in the Early Access store and it has been buggy in general. If I were you'd I stay away from it since PPPoE is even more of a buggy mess on it from what I've read.
