Black Friday 2025 UniFi Networking and Surveillance Deals

Black Friday 2025 has arrived and UniFi has rolled out some of its biggest price reductions in years across gateways, switches, access points, and cameras. Several flagship products have dropped far below their usual pricing, including the Dream Wall falling to $599, the Enterprise 48 PoE now $999, and the U6 Enterprise In Wall reduced to $199. Even the more affordable tiers see dramatic cuts, with models such as the FlexHD and nanoHD dropping to $69 and the G5 Pro camera slashed to $199. This year’s lineup mixes current generation hardware with discounted legacy units, giving buyers at every scale a clear upgrade path whether they are refreshing a home network or expanding a full UniFi deployment. The sections that follow break down each device category and highlight what you gain from the reduced pricing so you can decide which upgrades offer the strongest value during this short Black Friday window.

Best UniFi Black Friday Deals – The UniFi Dream Router 7 & Gateway Fiber

The Dream Router 7 and the Gateway Fiber stand out as UniFi’s strongest Black Friday 2025 offers, especially given their large price cuts. The Dream Router 7 drops to $229 from $279 and brings a full UniFi controller, WiFi 7, a 10G SFP+ WAN port, a 2.5GbE WAN port, four LAN ports with one PoE output, and integrated NVR storage via microSD. It supports the full UniFi application suite and can manage 30+ devices while handling 300+ clients on its 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz radios. Security and routing features include a stateful firewall, L7 filtering, IDS and IPS with 20,000+ signatures through CyberSecure, advanced NAT, SD-WAN, and VPN support for WireGuard, Teleport, IPsec, and OpenVPN. With coverage up to 160 square metres and a compact desktop design, it offers a complete all in one gateway and controller at a much lower cost, making it an easy upgrade for homes or small offices moving to WiFi 7 or multigig internet.

UniFi WiFi 7 2.5G+10G Dream Router UniFi Gateway Fiber 10G/2.5G Gateway

Buyers who want a pure routing device with maximum throughput will find the Gateway Fiber especially strong at its reduced Black Friday price of $179, down from $279. It is an independent 10G gateway designed to be managed through a CloudKey, UniFi Hosting, or a self hosted UniFi Network Server and offers 5Gbps IDS and IPS performance through a quad core Cortex A73 CPU and 2GB of memory. The port layout includes a 10G SFP+ WAN, a 10GbE RJ45 WAN, a 10G SFP+ LAN, and a 4 port 2.5GbE switch with one PoE+ output, which suits multigig fiber setups and high speed switching. Its feature set includes SD-WAN, dynamic routing with OSPF, advanced QoS, mDNS, content filtering, ad blocking, and more than 55,000 CyberSecure signatures. With LTE failover support and a compact footprint, the Gateway Fiber delivers flagship routing at one of the most aggressive price reductions UniFi has offered, making it a strong fit for users who prefer to keep WiFi, switching, and routing as separate modules.

UniFi Cloud Gateway Black Friday Deals

The Cloud Gateway Max, Cloud Gateway Max NS, and Gateway Lite form the most affordable cluster of UniFi Black Friday gateway offers this year. The Cloud Gateway Max drops from $279 to $179 and delivers full UniFi application support with 2.3Gbps IDS and IPS, 2.5GbE WAN, five 2.5GbE LAN ports, and selectable NVMe NVR storage up to 2TB. The NS model follows the same hardware blueprint but arrives at a lower $159 price while retaining 2.3Gbps inspection performance and 30 plus device management. The Gateway Lite stands out as the entry level option at an aggressive $49, down from $129. It offers 1Gbps IDS and IPS, a compact footprint, full UniFi security features, USB C power, and a simple 1GbE WAN plus 1GbE LAN layout, making it ideal for small networks or for replacing an ageing USG.

Moving up the stack, the Gateway Fiber and Dream Router 7 provide the strongest mid tier performance jumps in this Black Friday cycle. The Gateway Fiber drops from $279 to $179 and offers 5Gbps IDS and IPS, 10G SFP+ and 10GbE WAN ports, a 10G SFP+ LAN, and a built in 4 port 2.5GbE switch with one PoE+ output. It supports SD WAN, WireGuard, Site Magic, Teleport VPN, OSPF, advanced QoS, and more than 55,000 CyberSecure signatures. The Dream Router 7 falls to $229 from $279 and combines a full UniFi controller with integrated WiFi 7, 10G SFP+ WAN, 2.5GbE WAN, four LAN ports with PoE, and microSD NVR storage. It can manage 30 plus UniFi devices, runs Protect, Access, Talk, and Connect, and handles more than 300 clients with high throughput across 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz bands.

At the premium end, the Dream Wall delivers the largest discount with a drop from $999 to $599 and brings full UniFi application support, integrated WiFi 6, high power PoE switching, and 10G routing in a wall mounted design. It includes 17 1GbE ports, two 10G SFP+ ports, redundant hot swap PSUs, 420W PoE budget, and multiple layers of storage including a 128GB SSD and a 512GB microSD card for NVR use. With 3.5Gbps IDS and IPS, SD WAN, BGP, OSPF, WireGuard, Teleport VPN, and support for more than 100 UniFi devices, the Dream Wall is designed for larger deployments that want a single appliance to run switching, routing, WiFi, security, storage, and all UniFi apps. These six discounted models collectively cover every level of UniFi deployment and represent the strongest lineup of gateway price cuts UniFi has offered for Black Friday 2025.

UniFi WiFI APs for Mesh Black Friday Deals

The U6 Plus, FlexHD, and nanoHD form the most affordable set of UniFi access point offers this Black Friday and each one targets a different type of upgrade. The U6 Plus drops to $99 and brings dual band WiFi 6, 4 spatial streams, 2.4Gbps 5GHz throughput, and a 300 plus client capacity in a compact ceiling or wall mounted design. It suits homes and small businesses looking for a modern AP with strong roaming support, PPSK, captive portal options, and full UniFi WiFi management features. The FlexHD falls to $69 and remains one of the most versatile indoor or outdoor mesh units, offering WiFi 5 with 6 spatial streams, 1.7Gbps 5GHz performance, and multiple mounting options that make it easy to extend coverage. The nanoHD also lands at $69 and provides a compact ceiling mounted WiFi 5 solution with 4×4 MU MIMO on 5GHz, up to 1.7Gbps throughput, and a design that blends into most environments, making it ideal for small offices and meeting rooms.

For mid tier deployments, the AC Pro and AC HD both receive strong discounts and remain popular for larger offices or mixed environments. The AC Pro is reduced to $89 and offers dual band WiFi 5, 3×3 MIMO on both radios, 1.3Gbps 5GHz performance, and a proven design that handles 250 plus clients. It includes PoE power, two GbE ports, and full UniFi WiFi features such as fast roaming, band steering, PPSK, and captive portal support. The AC HD now sits at $89 and delivers higher density handling with 8 spatial streams, 4×4 MU MIMO on both bands, 1.7Gbps 5GHz throughput, and support for 500 plus clients. It suits high traffic office floors, learning environments, and large public areas where stable throughput under load matters more than peak bandwidth.

At the top of the lineup, the U6 Enterprise In Wall receives one of the most meaningful reductions with a new price of $199. This model offers WiFi 6E across the 6GHz, 5GHz, and 2.4GHz bands with 10 spatial streams, up to 4.8Gbps on both 6GHz and 5GHz, and support for more than 600 clients. Its built in 4 port GbE switch with PoE output makes it ideal for structured office installs where wall mounted APs double as room level network hubs for desks, phones, or small devices. Fast roaming, RRM, PPSK, RadSec, and advanced portal features place it firmly in the high density business category. Together, these six discounted APs span entry level to enterprise grade coverage and represent UniFi’s strongest Black Friday wireless lineup in several years.

UniFi Network Switch Black Friday Deals

The Enterprise 24 PoE, Enterprise 8 PoE, and Enterprise 48 PoE make up UniFi’s discounted Layer 3 switching lineup for Black Friday 2025 and each model targets a different level of deployment. The Enterprise 24 PoE drops from $799 to $599 and delivers twelve 1GbE PoE+ ports, twelve 2.5GbE PoE+ ports, two 10G SFP+ uplinks, 400W of PoE power, and a 124Gbps switching fabric in a 1U rack chassis. It includes DHCP server and relay, inter VLAN routing, advanced IGMP controls, MAC based ACLs, QoS, and a touchscreen panel with USP RPS backup support. The Enterprise 8 PoE falls to $329 from $479 and provides eight 2.5GbE PoE+ ports with two 10G SFP+ uplinks, 120W of PoE power, and 80Gbps switching performance in a compact desktop form factor. It retains the full Layer 3 feature set including LACP, RSTP, DHCP snooping, port isolation, jumbo frames, and MAC or IP based ACLs, making it suitable for small offices, edge rooms, or multigig AP clusters.

The largest reduction is on the Enterprise 48 PoE which now sits at $999 instead of $1,599 and offers forty eight 2.5GbE PoE+ ports, four 10G SFP+ uplinks, and a substantial 720W PoE budget built for dense AP and camera deployments. It supports a 160Gbps switching fabric, 238Mpps forwarding, LLDP MED, Pro AV profiles, advanced multicast handling, and large routing or MAC tables suitable for campus and high traffic networks. All three switches deliver strong value for Black Friday buyers upgrading to multigig infrastructure, although the two legacy models, the 24 port and 48 port versions, do not meet PoE++ requirements for the new U7 and E7 access points.

UniFi Cameras for Protect Black Friday Deals

The G5 Pro, AI 360, and G5 PTZ form the front end of UniFi’s discounted camera lineup for Black Friday 2025 and each model targets a different style of coverage. The G5 Pro drops from $379 to $199 and delivers 4K recording with a 3x optical zoom lens, strong daytime clarity, and IR night vision that reaches 25 m or up to 40 m with the Vision Enhancer. It offers people, vehicle, and animal detection, IP65 weather resistance, IK04 impact resistance, and flexible mounting for walls, ceilings, and poles. The AI 360 is reduced from $399 to $249 and provides full 360 degree coverage through a 2K fisheye sensor with pan tilt zoom control handled digitally inside UniFi Protect. It includes two way audio, smart detections, IPX4 weather resistance when covered, and IK08 tamper protection, making it suitable for wide indoor areas, retail spaces, or open office floors. The G5 PTZ falls to $229 from $299 and adds low latency mechanical pan tilt with a 2x optical zoom lens, 20 m IR night vision, and IP66 weather protection, which makes it an option for entry points, driveways, or perimeter paths.

The AI Pro and AI Dome represent the next tier with stronger AI capability and extended detection performance. The AI Pro is discounted from $499 to $359 and delivers 4K resolution, 3x optical zoom, face recognition, license plate recognition, advanced object detection, and up to 40 m IR performance with the Vision Enhancer. It includes two way audio, HDR processing, IP65 weather resistance, and a flexible mounting system for ceilings, walls, and poles. Its 1/1.8 inch 8MP sensor provides higher accuracy in mixed lighting, which makes it suitable for entrances, car parks, or areas requiring reliable plate and face capture. The AI Dome is now $299 instead of $399 and features a vandal resistant IK10 enclosure paired with 4K recording, long range IR up to 40 m, and the same AI recognition capabilities found in the AI Pro. Its dome design suits indoor or sheltered outdoor locations where tamper protection and a clean profile matter.

Across the lineup, every model supports PoE power, onboard image adjustment controls, UniFi smart detections, and full Protect integration with consistent 30 FPS recording. The G5 series offers strong value for users upgrading older 1080p or 2K cameras, while the AI series adds more precise analytics and improved low light performance. The combination of significant price cuts and a wide range of coverage types means this group forms one of the strongest Black Friday camera selections UniFi has presented, covering everything from broad area surveillance to focused zoom capture and high security environments.

      1. I grabbed a WD 14Tb elements external back drive for US$169. Looked up the internal HDD using HDDscan and looks like a helium filled 7200 rpm enterprise drive. Feel I got a good deal. She is backing up my UGreen NAS essential data.

      7. Been running the TerraMaster F6-424 Max for over six months now — six 20TB drives in RAID 6, dual 10GbE hitting real-world writes over 2000 MB/s! It’s a dream for the whole team editing and sharing 4K RAW at the same time. Already got one at home, planning to snag another on Black Friday for my personal office.

      8. I have 4x ironwolf drives that need a home so I’m buying a qnap TR-004, on sale as usual under $200. Even if it sucks, I’ll have some way to use these 4 perfectly good but slightly small ironwolf drives in RAID connected to my TS-453mini. Performance? Who cares. It’s gonna be a place to stash photos at raid 5.

      9. I love your reviews. Can you tell me which SSD I should get to put in a TerraMaster F4-425 Plus? It’s limited to gen 3.0×1 so even a gen3 drive would be fine but I need a 2TB version with DRAM and a heatsink that will FIT into this NAS. What are your thoughts?

      11. That hard drive is half the price ($700aud) of a the same drive in Australia. I can find the 24tb for $200 more. But 28tb ????. Hoping I’ll see deals on 18tb drives, hard drives are stupidly expensive in Australia right now. There’s a grey market supplier that is selling 8tb ironwolf pro for $600aud

      12. Synology is being weird right now. Where I am, my local shop has the DS1825+ reduced by $450 CAD, and they list it as “while supplies last” which they usually don’t do unless they are clearing stock to make way for new models. Makes me wonder if Synology is prepping a mid-cycle refresh like a DS1826+ maybe? Wouldn’t be the first time they’ve done that.

      19. Great vid. I’m in the market for a new NAS for a roaming GPU-powered AI fortress idea I’m currently building with my family.

        I was wondering if you offer any consultations? I can easily just toss a Syno DS in this thing and call it a day but the whole buildout needs an extra pair of eyes for redundancy, DR, etc.

        Either way, thanks for the content!

      21. Not impressed with any of these deals. Show me an 8TB NAS Hard Drive for 85 dollars or something, that’s a deal I could wrap my money around. I can’t even buy the family breakfast at a diner for any of these savings. The NAS deals for a hundred or more off are OK, but honestly, I would rather see sales on the Hard drives. Show me a 600-dollar NAS for 300, that’s how we define banger deal in the US. I know it’s a regional UK thing, but the way you say router with a looooong O always make me laugh…good stuff. They can keep the 600-dollar plus NVMEs, hard pass. The UGREEN deals are laughable, they have already had the same deals well before Black Friday. All good, but another disappointing Black Friday set of deals. The absolute best deal you have shown is the M1 Minis forum PC. Too bad I already have more PCs than I need. The Motherboard deal with a prepopulated CPU is a pretty good deal as well. Too bad I already have 2 DIY NAS devices. I am staying away from Synology unless they put a 75% discount on their NAS devices.

      26. This maybe is not the video, but I wanted to ask. I purchased the UGREEN DXP4800 Plus and so far it is wonderful. However, I am not able to download the app for my iPhone or Android devices. Apparently it is not available on all the markets. Could you talk to them and ask when are they going international with their apps? I purchased it from the US but my account is in Panama. Thank you.

      27. Synology can offer as much discount as it wants, I still wouldn’t touch their products, trust is broken, and there’s no assurances they won’t remove features or lock out hardware.

        I’ve got the QNAP TS-464, the one with upgradeable RAM, not the current soldered RAM version, I’ve generally been happy with it, but would I buy it today? No I don’t think I would, the N100 and N150 CPUs are faster CPUs, and UGreen’s Intel Pentium Gold 8505 crushes the Intel N5105, plus you get 10Gbe built in with the UGreen 4-bay and it’s less money, I put a 10Gbe add in card to my TS-464, but due to the N5105 lane allocation you don’t get 10GBe, it floats between 2.5GBe and 5Gbe in the real world, good enough to edit 1080p directly, but long term I’m going DIY next “upgrade”. The only way I’d be buying the TS-464 today is used and half the retail price. There’s much better hardware offerings for the same or better price.

        I bought the CWWK Intel N305 in the summer sales, for a DIY NAS to live at my sister’s, I paid £178.32 with no import costs for it, I couldn’t justify the bump in price for the N355 since it will only be for mass storage, CCTV and media playback, maybe Home Assistant down the line, not much different to what I’m doing on my N5105, so I knew the N305 would handle it’s use case, but I wanted the headroom and 10GBe coz I don’t intend to replace it until it’s basically dead or crawling. I’ve had it running at mine for testing 24/7 since middle of August, coz my sister’s not moved to their new house yet, and I’ve had zero issues. I have swapped out the 16GB RAM I initially installed for 48GB though, as TrueNAS uses 8GB and a couple of containers, plus Proxmox overhead, then spinning up a Linux VM with 4GB caused the system to shutdown, but that was on me, first time I’ve set up TrueNAS and didn’t think about RAM allocation planning, but at least I know the CWWK motherboard will protect itself.

        Advice on RAM and SSDs, if you see a good deal, anywhere, new or used, buy it, coz GamersNexus is predicting a 2 year rough period due to AI BS hoovering up all the chips, leaving us consumers high and dry. I am assuming HDD prices are also related to AI data centers causing shortages and price increases, but that’s only my hunch. PC and NAS builders are in for a torrid time. The 48GB DDR5 Sodimm stick I got, retail in late August was £100, now it’s £229 on Amazon, thankfully I found an ebay seller willing to take £80 on a listing of £100, I feel lucky after I saw the steep increase that I wasn’t initially aware of.

      33. Worth noting, for deal hunters … that if you’re looking for RAM … prices have basically doubled in the last month.
        So any ‘savings’ you’re shown … are from double the price the RAM cost a month ago.
        Who do you blame?

      47. Just ordered this router. I’m sick of the sales BS from Netgear for their impossibly stupid security software and eternal yearly payments. Not to mention they lied about the router getting OpenMesh “soon” years later. I’m going all-in with Unifi I suspect. I’m already plotting more purchases in the future. If I learned anything from Apple, it is to go vertical as much as possible. (It’s why I have both 10 GbE QNap NAS and switch. Soon to be retired.)

      52. 10gig WAN for this device is marketing and nonsense. It’s limited to 2.3gbps with IDS/IPS enabled, and you don’t want to disable it for the sake of speed. 2.5G WAN and 10G LAN would have made more sense. Or just make it cheaper and everything 2.5G.

        Only reason is that some ONTs will only sync at 1 or 10 gig but not 2.5, but I think it’s just marketing

      60. I don’t know if its me but I bought this yesterday & it arrived this morning (great) but tried to set it up but had problems download the Windows software 7 had to set it up via the phone app but definitely not getting these speeds. My home has a lot of brick walls with my internet box comes in my living room – so connected this router to my Internet Supplier’s modem/router. So was suprised not to get any service in my kitchen laptop just 10m from my Dream7. Any thoughts?

      67. I have a 10GB connection at my home. This system caps internet throughput at 2.5GB due to its intrusion protection protocol. Which you want always enabled. I instead went with the Unify Cloud Gateway Fiber. It has a 5GB intrusion prevention throughput, but no Wi-Fi 7. It does have 2x 10GB ports, RG45 and SPF.

      77. What device would you add to this as a 5G failover?
        I know there is a UMR Industrial from Ubiquity, but it’s a shame it’s only 4G, and I’ve heard real world results are only about30 to 40 mbps down!
        Thanks for the Video.

      81. Not sure if anyone mentioned it yet, 191 comments at the moment, but the pretty-much-always-sold-out Cloud Gateway Fiber seems pretty amazing too. Missing built-in WiFi of course, but 2x SFP+ WAN/LAN, 1x 10G RJ45 WAN/LAN, 4x 2.5G RJ45 (1 with PoE+), and an NVMe slot for storage seems pretty amazing for the same price as the Dream Router 7, even if you need a separate AP for it.

      82. I’m definitely considering this router, only negative I’m reading about is a potentially very loud fan. Anyone have any experience with it? If I place the router in a fairly silent living room would it be audible (home use).

      91. I’ve been on the hunt for a replacement gateway/router for a long time. I definitely knew I was going to wait until manufacturers made decently priced devices with all 3 bands. I watched this video and decided to go for it. My first ubiquiti product. Ive always heard good things about them, so I’m sure it will be a goodg experience. And they had stock! Mine will be here on the 19th!!!

      97. @NASCompares, could you clarify why your written review includes an image of the MediaTek MT8163V? This SoC is an older model from around 2016, only supporting Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), and is incompatible with any UCG WiFi 6/7 devices.

        Unifi confirmed that the Qualcomm IPQ5322 1.5GHz Quad Core A53 was used in the UCG Ultra released last year. Hence, it’s reasonable to assume the same SoC would be used in the UCG Max, as well as the newly released UDR7 and Unifi Express 7.

        While the MediaTek MT8163V shares the ARM-based A53 architecture, with equivalent core count and clock speed, the inclusion of this image may misleadingly imply that a teardown was done, and could lead people to believe it represents the actual hardware inside the device.

      98. I agree with most of what you said. For some, its an expensive waste of money. However, I think its best use case is a small office building. It has just enough features to run an office of about 3000-5000 square feet. Before you would have to get a more expensive dream machine, then add in wifi access points. Now this combined with a 24 or 48 port switch and you are pretty much good to go for most business needs. The average office still only has cat 6 or maybe cat 6a if you are lucky so all this 2.5 Gbps and POE nonsense is really just for the home enthusiast or for an IT based company. Most office managers won’t want to waste the money on it, especially for something like a dental clinic or restaurant.

      101. Great deal. So you can PAY big for a company to build in 5G high-resolution real-time scanning detail of your home so you have no privacy and allow third parties to utilize it to utterly remove any kind of privacy you have. Wonderful. By the way, they were going to market this as “Smart Sense” but blowback from consumers was brutal. But, they did it anyway and hid this capability just so that they could have this tech in every new router produced today. Isn’t that great? You get to be imaged when you are having sex and when you are going to the bathroom. Great future, I tell ya.

      105. I have an original unifi dream machine (non-pro) I’ve had it for years. Connected to another AP and 2x switched. The only thing it can’t do is Fail over and I really need it to hand off to 5G. Would have LOVED the SD card to be for a SIM. Protect while good I suspect will be limited on number of cameras. The SFP port seems a bit of a strange choice for a device like this the vast majority in this market won’t know what it even means or that they need to buy another device to actually use the port. Love unifi though requires very little maintenance

      107. Should I get this dream router or the Netgear RAXE500 currently on deal for $271 with 10% coupon? Ubiquiti charges shipping and restocking fees for returns in 2025?? I don’t have any wifi 7 devices currently.

      122. What is the best configuration to have a dozen devices in 6E-7 wifi (phone, tablet, computers), 5 wired in 2.5 (ps5, xbox, etc) and 10gbp for the fixed computer? Any advice (I already have an old Unify Alien terminal that I’m happy with, but not in Wifi 7)? Thanks

      125. I would like to see them do a slightly more expensive model that does a 4 4 spatial streams on the both 5GHz and 6GHz radios. While outside of extenders and mesh systems, no client device currently offers more than 2 spatial streams (max PHY rate of 5.7Gbps), a 4 stream WiFi radio handles multiple clients much better, especially for use cases such as both reading or writing to a 10GbE NAS at the same time. A unit with a $30-$50 price premium would likely cover such a change. Given the sky high prices of the competition, they have room for an additional product tier.

      131. I have their Alien router and love it. It’s extremely reliable and I get the upload and download speed I pay for. The only real caveat I have is that it’s WiFi 6 which is starting to show its age. I think I’ll upgrade to this once my Alien router bites the dust.

      140. For the price this is a great deal and I think it’s going to sell really well. For a lot of people who want a fast WiFi AP, a good-enough but easy to use firewall, the ability to set up VLANs (easily I might add), and run a couple of cameras… yeah this is a fantastic deal.

      141. Once upon a time I would have completely snubbed a pre-built router setup like this or any of the other brands for an OPNsense or PFSense setup, but I just don’t have the brain power to bother with those anymore. This thing looks like it has a bazillion options too, but easier to understand without having to go and watch Lawrence or someone else on YouTube explain them and show how to accomplish want I’m wanting to accomplish. The price is (although high for me), much better than say an Asus gaming router at comically astronomical prices. This just may be my next router/gateway.

      142. But can you purchase it? That’s the problem w/ all of their products. They are constantly out of stock. Why would I buy from a company that doesn’t have their products in stock in case of a failure?

      143. Our company has found Unifi to be a nightmare. Mostly related to the mandatory cloud dependance. We have mostly moved to Palo Alto. Personally I have loved my previous generation Dream Machine. But as for the switches and using UB stuff for medium size business, it’s mostly a disaster.

      144. Frustrating when a rooooter has a faster WAN port than any LAN port. If you have a 10gbit WAN, you need at least 10gbit LAN. No one who pays for 5-10gbit internet wants to be limited to 2.5gbit.

      145. LOL, my native English brethren (aka my brother) who worked in computers and with rooters before moving to US calls it a rooter the English way (emphasizing the “oo” sound), I on the other hand, only learned about rooters ( as “oah” sound) after moving to north america, so I use the American pronunciation, but when speaking of root I use the original English “oo” pronunciation, and it seems strange to me to call a r”oah”ter and rooter.

      149. I’d love it if you’d start mentioning IPv6 compatibility. Unifi is starting to implement it, but its barely a second class citizen (no v6 support on the gui for VPNs for example)

      152. Hey Robbie, I’m planning to put in a rack and a full U nifi network at some point this year (at least I hope I can), probably with a Dream Machine Pro Max and a bunch of their switches and access points etc. But the single router on my desk is getting on now, and every few weeks or so the internet access just craps out until I reboot it. I’m considering getting this as a stopgap, as it’s a standalone unit that should be much better than what I have now and I feel the price is reasonable. But can you speak to how well it would play with say a Mikrotik switch? I’ve got one of those for extra ports, and I’m not sure how the ecosystem plays with external hardware. Thanks

      163. Having a few wifi7 devices and a Ubiquiti E7 10G AP I’m disappointed in the performance of wifi7. Even at a short distance, it kind of sucks. Devices show 5G connected speeds but only have data transfer of around und 1Gbe and any movement, and it falls apart.

      165. I have had the original version for years and love it. A few questions on this unit. If I wanted a bigger version does UniFi have one that would work? Also if someone has an original version and brings in this version, would all the settings automatically transfer? Or would everything have to be set up manually from scratch? Thanks.

      175. Just give me a UDM SE 2 with 2.5GBe and POE+ ports so I can use the new U7 Pro APs and I am set. I don’t understand how this gap exists in their current lineup. I like this router, but I already built a small rack for my home and would prefer to keep the rack setup clean.
