UniFi Dream Machine

The UDM Beast has a total of 15 ports in all. The ports are as follows: Two 2.5GbE ports (can be configured as LAN or WAN). Eight 10 GbE ports (one of the 10Gb ports is labeled as a WAN port, but this is configurable as either LAN or WAN). Two 10Gb SFP+ ports (also can be set as LAN or WAN ports). T

Why not a modern ubiquiti stack? For sfp you need ucg-fibre or udr7 and add AP's. Maybe a switch in between also. Depends if you want cameras, doorbells or other stuff like that. Maybe would make sense to build a rack with udm-pro, a switch and backup power + ap's

Can you tell us how your internet/wifi works and equipment you have for them? If you want to consolidate your internet router/wifi/cameras, you can buy the Unifi Dream Machine (UDM), Unifi WiFi APs, and a hard drive to store the recordings within the UDM. Figure out how to power them over the ethern

The main thing I can see is this has two 25gig ports for you core switch connections. A LOT of places still do a route-on-a-stick setup (for simplicity or lack of knowledge) where all inter vlan traffic needs to go back to your firewall/router. On other UDM's this was a huge bottle neck especially i

So all of ubiquitis other stuff ? It’s so annoying that all of the ap‘s use PoE but no one thinks of small home rigs. I don’t want to buy another bulky switch just for Poe. E.G I have a cloud gateway ultra and a couple WiFi 7 APs but the cloud gateway doesn’t have Poe out so I have to buy a switch j

If you are talking about the dream machine pro max IPS on it is 5gbps just the same and the UCG-Fiber so in that aspect it is identical. The pro max would be for a larger deployment where you have more UniFi devices and end users. Also with the pro max you can run from protect directly out of it so

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

Last vacation we took was a VRBO with a T-Mobile 5G connection. Speed tests and continuous ping tests showed it as being pretty stable but it would not connect to teleport at all. I went as far as getting custom firmware through Ubiquity and all the firmware updates I could imagine. I tried to defau

i feel you on rural isp hell. starlink as failover works well - i've set it up on a udm pro with dual wan. for voice though don't jump straight to unifi talk unless you want to be their beta tester. honestly port your numbers to a real voip provider like nextiva or ringcentral and let them handle th

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
