First time buying a router and I have no idea where to start... Please help!
You can go for fancy tech specs if you want, but in my experience, simplicity, ease of use and appearance are more important. These days I only ever buy Ubiquiti for those reasons, e.g.'good enough for most people' https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/NETUBI2208/Ubiquiti-UniFi-UCG-Ultra-Cloud-Gateway-Ul

Looking to upgrade my router (erro 7 vs Ubiquiti UniFi 7)
OP, you may be misunderstanding the advice. You should not get the all-in-one Unifi Dream Router. You should get a Unifi Gateway, connect it to a small Unifi Lite Switch and then connect the switch to two or more PoE powered WiFi 7 wireless APs plus any Ethernet drops to fixed devices. EDIT: The cor

Router recommendations for SME
https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/all-cloud-gateways/products/ucg-ultra https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/all-switching/products/usw-lite-8-poe Pretty simple, just create a business/personal VLAN and assign each port appropriately.

Is the Cloud Gateway Ultra the right fit to replace my ISP's router?
The Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Max (UCG-Max) is a higher-performance, multi-gigabit successor to the Cloud Gateway Ultra (UCG-Ultra), offering 2.5 GbE speeds on all ports, faster 1.5 Gbps IDS/IPS throughput, and an NVMe SSD slot for running UniFi Protect (cameras). The Ultra is cheaper, limited to 1 GbE

Networking advice wanted mesh network
I'm going to qualify this with some further info, because, why not. https://www.netxl.com/network-routers/ubiquiti-unifi-ucg-ultra-cloud-gateway/ is a decent starter. That'll be your main router (you can double NAT it if your ISP won't dish out a DHCP address), grab a TP-Link PoE switch, (£40 for an

Do I need a layer 3 switch to segregate networks?
You’re not wrong. I’ll just leave you with this: Two years ago I started with a Cloud Gateway Ultra, a Lite PoE 8 switch, a U6 Mesh AP, and a U6 Mesh extender. Every bit of that is gone and replaced by a UCG Max, a Pro Max 16 PoE switch, 2 U7 Pro XG APs, 2 U6 Pro APs, a U7 In Wall AP, an AI Port, an

My first ubiquity device: router/AP for a small home, what should I choose?
Since I'm still relatively new to Ubiquiti myself, I'm curious what others might say. Indeed the Express looks like the most inexpensive option that gets you connectivity with WiFi. However, it's very limited in terms of future capacity. For your specific situation as described it might be just the

Suggestions for home hardware firewall?
Just replaced an older router and PC software controller install with a UCG-Ultra at a client today, Micro Center had it for $109, which I thought was quite reasonable. It works fine and I was able to use a local login and import the backup from the old controller for all the network settings. Prett

Unifi Network no longer supported without Unifi OS?
I run unifi in docker and have been receiving these messages recently too. Here's what my ClaudeCode has to say about it. TLDR; The Docker container approach (unifi-controller) is the old "UniFi Network Application" model. Ubiquiti has been pushing this migration for a while and is now getting more

Hardware advice needed - Coming from Unifi USG/UXG
USG/UXG have always been crappy underpowered devices, the current Cloud Gateways are perfectly fine and you'll get rid of Cloudkey or whatever device you're running your controller on https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/cloud-gateways-compact/products/ucg-ultra or add $70 and you'll get 2.5G & an op
