Advice Please

I'd probably put another 24 port patch panel between the UDM-SE and the core switch. Yes, you want an SE for the flexibility, and there are lots of good uses for those ports. Low-bandwidth uses for UDM-xxx 8 port integral switch Also has good discussion of the technical shortcomings of the 8 port AI

UCG Fiber Stability, Performance and Reliability

CGF does run Protect. The big reason people are suggesting the UDM-SE is because it can generate 180W of POE. It's also a far more mature and stable product. There's something to be said about being able to attach a WAP directly to the gateway if need be. If you don't have plans on ever going past 2

Newbie Home setup

I just bought a house with a Hikvision setup, and asked about it in a couple places. You should take a look at the responses. Same question, two subs.

Advice on UDM SE, Doorbell Lite, PoE Chime & USW-Lite-16 Setup

That's more than I'd hang on the SE's AIO utility switch. It only has 1 GbE uplink to the UDM-SE proc. Cameras and IoT hubs only. APs and downstream switches are not good things to hook up there. Long thread on the topic. You really want a core switch hanging off of one of your SFP+ ports with a DAC

Networking in a small compound

This seems more in the scope of a professional consultant than a Reddit post, but if you’re DIYing it, spend a bunch of time at design.ui.com planning it out and it’ll answer a lot of the coverage questions you’ll likely run into if you’re rolling Wi-Fi into the project. I like the UDM-SE and you sh

I find it the best for home use as its a Gateway, switc

UDM‑SE vs USW‑Pro‑Max‑16‑PoE

The UDM-xxx line really wants to be mated with a good core switch via DAC. Say a Pro Max 16 or 24 PoE, for example. That said, those ports are useful for many things, and aren't a horrible place to start out with, if you're spacing out purchases (SE, then switch, say). Low-bandwidth uses for UDM-xxx
