UniFi Express 7

I'm not surprised -- a lot of the discourse I read on the UTR reminds me of the original iPod vs. other mp3 players at the time. Yes, the competition is technically better on paper. Yes, you can do a lot more with the other devices. But you can't just write off ease of use, simplicity, and formfacto

I’m not sure if I’m understanding you correctly, if you configure a VPN to access your network, yeah, it will share resources as if you were there, that’s like how all corp networks work. I used to do IT work for O’Reilly auto parts, that’s literally how all their stores get pricing for parts, they

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

The UTR is not designed to be a speed demon. It's designed to be very compact and reasonably affordable and provide turnkey access to your Unifi network (and other travel router benefits). Those are the things it's good at. For starters, it only has WiFi 5 and it's compact form factor will certainly

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

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 ordered one on the second restock (thanks Reddit, for informing me when Ubiquiti's stock notification didn't). Here's a brief explainer of the demand: It's a travel router. For those of us who travel, a travel router allows us to easily get multiple devices connected to a secure network (you get t

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

Mesh is all wireless access points. You don't have to buy a "mesh system" in the way you are thinking. Ubiquiti and UniFi are mentioned. I will throw GLinet into the mix. The interface is easier. Cheaper price points. When you travel take one of the GLinet routers. Throw it in your bag. Connect it t
