Any configuration changes to equipment since ATT? (My ONT has been going down more than usual recently)

I had backup for a while too when I used to wfh but cut it off because service was pretty great in general. May have to do it again or consider swapping to Xfinity which now has no cap here. Asus and Ubiquiti routers have 2 wan ports (and no sub!) I know Eero is pretty solid though. I use a Unifi Dr

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

Thoughts on Unifi Dream Router 7?

Just installed my UDR 7 this weekend. I went with ubiquiti because my Google mesh router couldn't keep up and signal strength wasn't the best. The signal strength for the UDR 7 is phenomenal at my house. When we finish building our next house, I will be doing a whole home network system with cat 8 c

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

Original Dream Router unstable on latest 5.1.12

Same here. I have a mix of one UDM, one UDR, and one UDM Pro. UDR and UDM Pro are running fine, can be accessed through the UI easily with no issue Access to UDM (regular) UI is spotty, sluggish. Sometimes it works, most of the time it does not. I understand that Ubiquiti is looking into it, did the

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

Unifi Dream Router and iperf

UDR runs iperf fine. SSH in and install it yourself. Ubiquiti docs have the exact steps.

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
