Weird that the ethernet ports are only 1GbE, that discounts everyone with a >1Gbit internet connection

Wrong. I watched a video yesterday from a german medical cannabis business where I recognized unifi APs in the building. Their camera system was (as one would imagine) unifi too.

Likely UDM Pros and not Dream Routers. Businesses still want it to look professional with at least a 6u wall-mounted rack.

Right?! Who's buying? Big businesses or regular retail? Or are they limiting supply to keep prices high?
The second one. Businesses aren't buying this shit.
My climbing gym uses unifi, as one example. (I noticed it because I use them at home). Seems like a pretty reasonable choice for a small business.
Re: UniFi Express
#24Could anyone help explain what this is. Is it just a fancy WiFi router?
Yes but Ubiquiti is very popular among Small Office / Home Office users due to their software that's integrated across their devices.

No, it pushes everyone with a >1Gbit internet connection into a pricier product.

There are still far more people below gigabit speeds than there are people hitting their gig. As more fiber is deployed that may change, but it's still a very functional device regardless.

As long as you dont provide any reasoning your are just another guy in the internet talking gibberish.
1. The throughput is inadequate.
2. The IDS/IPS is an inadequate Suricata instance with outdated rulesets and no SSL inspection.
3. There is nothing comparable to a WAF.
Gun to my head, I'd trust ASUS AI protect for a business router to substantially outperform Unifi's security offerings.
The ASUS at least knows what it is and what it can be: basically a glorified WAF. IDS/IPS don't even work well with up to date rulesets if they can't decrypt traffic.

#28This is effectively a Dream Router minus any other app support and the switch.
For a typical home user who doesn't want/need Protect this seems decent, but I think the $50 upcharge for the UDR is absolutely worth it.
That said, the UDR is heavily limited in running Protect. I started hitting occasional problems running Network and Protect together when I hit 4 cameras.
Re: UniFi Express
#29For $150 this looks pretty awesome. We offer home managed Wi-Fi and this replaces the security gateway and AP with a single box.
Re: UniFi Express
#30Had a UDR but switched to OPNsense. But the biggest issue with the UDR is that it can only handle about 500 Mbps due to the subpar CPU. Anyone know if this can actually run gigabit speeds?
