Deployed the previous UDR to a friend, it has been going strong for the entire time. I can recommend Unifi products in general.

Unifi dream router 7. And stockholder. Covers my whole 1500sf house and backyard. Prior to that I had a fortigate and ubiquiti AP. Both were great but the ap lite had less range and the fortigate couldn't handle the ISP throughout. I would recommend the dream router 100%. I have a seperate motorola modem.

I have the UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra and I bought the UDR7 for my parents. Amazing hardware and software. Nothing else has ever come close.

My parents have the UDR7 and for them it was pretty much fire and forget. They used to have constant problems with their old routers, one after another. But the Ubiquiti gear is just rock solid. For sure, if you want to tinker, it's also good for that.

I bought a Ubiquiti UDR7 Dream Router and couldn't be happier. It's a bit more complex than your average router but it's damn powerful and my connection has never been better.

I had this problem, you need to turn off some smart WiFi setting somewhere, I don’t remember exactly. Search for iPhone drops unifi wifi. After toggling it off no issues with connectivity. I do though have complain about unifi, UDR specifically, which started to randomly freeze right after warranty expired, and support after investigation said it is physical issue and I should just buy a new device.

It's so good. I had the OG dream router before the current DR7, both are rock solid devices.
