Did anyone else buy UniFi to “fix their WiFi”… and "accidentally" turn it into a hobby?
Unifi Dream Router was my gateway drug. I wanted my first big-boy router. Great router. It's now directing traffic at a family member's house. Then when I got fiber about a year later, naturally I had to upgrade to the UDR 7 so I could both use an SFP module to connect directly to ISP (8311-bypassin

Finally ready to upgrade from Apple Airport to Ubiquiti – looking for advice
Is the Dream Router a solid choice for this setup, or should I be looking at the Dream Machine instead? Can't really speak to this very well. The UDM SE seemed to better fit my needs at the time but if I was starting now, I'd probably consider one of the Cloud Gateways. You'll have a bit more flexib

Amplifi Alien stopped broadcasting Wi-Fi signal
Unfortunately, the individual radios last a few years then just die out of nowhere. Since the reboot didn't fix the issue, you'll likely need a new router. eBay has a few new Amplifi Aliens. UniFi sells the Dream Router 5G Max which looks a lot like the Amplifi Alien, with newer technology, but wors

Dream Router - unable to use camera on Microsoft Teams calls
After trying everything and zero change I've reluctantly given up and swapped the UDR out for my original ISP router. Resolved the problem immediately 😕. I've found a post on the Ubiquity sites forum and other folks having the same problems I had.

Question about the Cloud Gateway Max (UCG-Max) vs the Unifi Dream Router 7 (UDR7)
I mean you still can expand out with the udr later. You can add switches and APs. I was already running a ubiquiti AP on my opnsense box before I got the ucg fiber so I didn't need the built in wifi. I will say it is convenient having the AP separate. The ucg fiber is in my office and the AP is in a

best mesh wifi system? tired of wifi dead zones already.
Ubiquiti used to be a bit more complicated and required some technical know-how to get up and running and keep it updated. That was back when they depended on the Cloud Key (1), Unifi Security Gateway (USG), and a switch. They've released more consumer friendly products now. I swapped the above setu

Help choosing home router
Of current generation gear, the Dream Router 7 most closely matches your technical requirements. But to save a few pennies and have a square form factor, it would also be possible to do the Express 7 and add on a Flex Mini switch to have a few more wired ports to work with. Going back to older hardw

Dream Router 7 + UniFi Switch Flex 2.5G PoE for an apartment with 2 bedrooms (under 70m²)
Of course not - but it's the fun and the fact that it's a very competent setup. :-) It depends on how well the UDR7 covers. Nothing wrong with another AP, but only if you need the coverage. You can adjust power levels on them so you don't overlap too much. This is going to depend on where your ISP d
