UniFi Express 7

I'm currently in Disney world with my family and I've used the UTR for the kids as they have lots of devices and also for our apple TV. Initial thoughts after 2 nights with it... Range is very limited. We have conjoining rooms and the second one of the kids goes in the next room with their tablet, i

Yep. If there was any annoyance in my tone, it was meant for the excessive “UTR in stock” and “look at my UTR” posts. I am also surprised by the demand! To answer your question: my “unlimited” phone hotspot plan throttles to 128 Kbps after some modest amount of data, so I’d prefer to stay on whateve

Depends on your priorities. I’d say that the UTR is better if you value simplicity/portability over performance/flexibility. As for the hype: it’s a Ubiquiti product? People get excited when their patch panels are in stock.

I have the Glinet Beryl. It is a fantastic device, but it is a bulky device and the interface is somewhat more difficult to deal with in terms of connecting to it. You have to use a browser and type in the admin IP address. The thing that’s great about the UTR is that it’s almost the size of a few c

I have two UTR’s but my pfsense is not my wg server. Passes through PFSense to the wireguard vm But yes it can connect to any wireguard. My home wifi is all tp-link Omada so this is my only ubiquiti device. Works good I’ve found it to be pretty good. Not as configurable as a GLiNet.

Yeah. It makes the management of hotel tokens easier and if you travel with any kind of media player (AppleTV, Chromecast, Roku, etc) it makes authentication a non-issue. It can also tether from your iOS/android usb data connection. The UTR works best if you have a Ubiquiti setup at home where you c

Maybe a gift card to Microcenter or something so he can choose the thing(s) he actually wants would be a safer option? A lot Ubiquiti gear is made for a specific purpose — as in, you buy a UniFi switch if you need more Ethernet ports on your UniFi network, you buy another UniFi WiFi access point (an

Thanks for the follow up, it's very useful. I've been using a TP-Link AC750 travel router for several years now in my RV. Its purpose is to cover the baseline needs that the early adopters push: ability to connect multiple devices via WiFi to a single static SSID without presenting each to the core

UTR will not connect to your home network unless you activate Teleport or VPN so if you dont, then you your network is limited to within the UTR's noting that UTR will not provide anything else except DHCP. The advantage in using UTR is that upon configuration, you can associated with your gateway h

Tailscale also uses WireGuard. WireGuard isn’t just a name, it’s a protocol. The issue with self hosted WireGuard is the FQDN and reverse proxy. Have to be careful. Tailscale is much easier to deploy. Just set your home server as an exit node and you’re good to go. Otherwise, some free alternatives
