UDM SE Dead: Fixed!

Sadly you, and many others here, in the western world, are not cognizant about life in a rogue dictatorship where basic human rights are unheard of. I know people who used to live behind the Iron Curtain and their stories are nothing short of horror. Unfortunately, we in the West, in our unlimited d

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

Thinking of adding Unifi Protect to my mix of hodgepodge and I need some questions answered.

Yes, you will run out of capacity quickly if not immediately out of the starting gate. Play with the capacity calculator, you'll see what I mean. Yes. UNVR or UNVR-Instant. Likely the former, given your potential for growth/more cameras on the system. Only if you're out of routing horsepower. The cu

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

Does this cart make sense? Any recs for power supply? (EU)

In general consider: Aftermarket half-size server racks. They can be had for like 150€ on average. It is the most tedious job in the planet to migrate from one rack to a new rack.

Mesh systems for stronger home internet coverage in 2026?

ubiquiti is the go-to for mesh systems. In their good gear, the router/gateway and access points are independent from each other, allowing for upgrade of the wifi network separate from the router. They use POE+ for the access points - so like look at a UDM SE and hardwiring a couple AP's in mesh. Yo
