5y5c0Deployed the previous UDR to a friend, it has been going strong for the entire time. I can recommend Unifi products in general.
AdventurousLayer8741Unifi 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.
Available_Peanut_677I 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.
bgdz2020Unifi dream router 7.. cheap, fast, reliable. Edit: 3D printed R2D2 feet are a thing
Birdseye5115It's so good. I had the OG dream router before the current DR7, both are rock solid devices.
Canebrake15UDR isn't a great all-around unless you're buying firmware. They need to work on making their hardware match their firmware capabilities.
Yes, to build a UniFi network with equal antenna technology, I need to get the Enterprise version of their Wifi 6 AP (assuming Wifi 6 is my use case). If I have a Wifi 7 use case, there's no AP with 6 Ghz 4x4 mimo last I checked, which will help with range to individual clients at the edge of the network and serving multiple clients. Admittedly that was a couple months ago after a recommendation. Even the 7 Pro Max is 4x4 only in the 5 GHz band. Nice for serving many clients, but not the hardware I'd expect for a Wifi client-heavy use case. With the UDR, it's 2x2 on every band. Specific use cases make sense with the firmware/software, like the NVR you mentioned. I'm not dismissing the firmware capabilities, just pointing out the need to strangely compromise with hardware in their solutions *when the claim is world class hardware in every implementation.
Caos1980UnIFi is a great solution for what you want. The UniFi Dream Router 7 would be a great starting point. https://youtu.be/0AUqaf3wDQU?feature=shared
CuntonesianYeah that’s the one, the dream router 7. I forgot that they renamed it. But depending on the home, you may need more APs.
Dead simple. There’s not much to maintain either, although you _can_ tweak a lot of things. Can also invite someone else to admin it if you need help, which I do for my parents. Connect the UDR7, use the mobile app to set it up. 5 minutes. Then connect any additional access points and ’adopt’ them. Single click install. Unifi is great because it’s post-consumer grade networking, without the enterprise pricetag or UX.
I don’t think I ever have!
