Updates Impacting UDM SE Stability?

Latest 5.x releases have memory leaks. Latest 5.0.16 seems to be impacting a lot of folks, see here: https://community.ui.com/releases/UniFi-OS-Dream-Machines-5-0-16/4b8a0a8b-f241-49a0-b0a3-c3de80d503ef?reply=1 Sounds like disabling IDS/IPS might be a good workaround for now … Pretty bad that they r

Update completly crashed my network

Used Ubiquity for 4 years, always had auto update on everything. UDM, then UDM:SE and now UCG:Fibre… and UNAS Pro.. all on Official release channel. Never had an issue. No issue with 4.4.9 either.

bad situation ever! UDMpro wipped itself

If you did not back up your UDM then you are SOL. The AP's are tied to the software configuration, not the hardware itself. You can, for example, back up the config on one UDM, take out the hardware, restore the backup to a completely different UDM, and the AP's and everything adopted in that config

Two ISPs using Dream Machine?

Which version of the Dream Machine do you have? If it's any of the Rack Mountable Dream Machines, you can run Dual WAN. I think it's just the original UniFi Dream Router, which isn't capable of Dual WAN. Based on what you've said I would set your Xfinity as the main connection and I'd have the secon

Beast installed, Bottlenecks gone!

This thing is not ready for release. Do not buy the UDM Beast unless you enjoy pain. I went from a flawless (but slow UDM Pro) to a very fast and extremely unstable UDM Beast. Here's something to think about, after a complete power off, not just a reboot... The UDM Beast runs without errors for 4-5

Backup communications

I use a UniFi dream machine to do exactly what you want to do as fail over. I have fiber as my main, T-Mobile for cellular backup, and starlink on standby for when both fiber and cell towers go out. The system works great with no issues. I also have cloudflare dns setup so I have a subdomain point t

G6 Pro Entry is the right choice?

i set up something similar with a g6 pro entry on a gate in spain. the access hub mini works with most 12v or 24v electric strikes but italian locks sometimes use weird voltages. your electrician can put a multimeter on the existing lock to check. you got the major parts right - g6 pro entry, access

What's the largest hard drive anyone has run in a UDM Pro? Mine just took a 22TB without complaint

ran a 20tb ironwolf in my udm pro for 8 months with no issues. protect uses the drive mostly for writes so wear is fine. just watch the temps because the udm pro has zero active cooling on the drive bay - yours is an exos which runs warm. keep it below 50c. ubiquiti recommends 8tb because they teste

Every few years we upgrade our hardware firewall with the newest model. And every time I have to reposition the mounting screws.

Sonicwalls are notorious for flawed updates and constant emergency security patches. If you want something that works, and is easy to manage, I would recommend a unifi dream machine. Get the SE if you want to plug unifi WiFi access points or cameras directly into it or just use the remaining ports a
