I love ubiquiti. My entire home network runs on their gear, with self-hosted management. I have infra deployed across the country in a remote office that runs their gear, with a cloud key. It's solid stuff all around. Don’t use any of their unifi routers tho, can’t speak to that. I have an ER-4 at home and the remote office has a pfsense 1U.

Same here, I love the UDM Pro SE. Blocking application layer stuff like QUIC is just a couple clicks away. It has decent intrusion detection and response alongside other easy to configure firewall settings.

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

This is to my massive irritation. I don't want to use the router built into my cable modem, but my Internet is 1.2gb and I feel like I'm throwing money away. Routers with 2.5gbe uplink are hard to find and even more expensive.

Unifi AP for wifi, Unifi switches, Unifi security gateway of some kind, Unifi point to point for terrestrial wireless to share with another set of Unifi gear in a barn/shed/whatever down the road. All managed by UNMS.

Do the Unifi APs and other Unifi hardware still need a docker image or software installed that includes mongodb I think it was to manage devices?

I kinda hate Ubiquiti routers. My UDM Pro felt like a total scam, with the IDS/IPS being nowhere close to advertised. They promised but never introduced WireGuard. I also experienced strange bugs in the stack. I eventually moved to OPNSense but the router I bought from them died. The interface was too cumbersome anyways, from the perspective of someone that just wanted WireGuard server+client, IPS/IDS, and VLAN. I fi…

Do you think Ubiquiti APs are still good, I have not used them since 2018?

Unifi is just their name for this series of products that all work together with their (free) controller. So you buy an AP, a switch, a router, all from the Unifi line of products and they all get setup from a single controller and work together pretty effortlessly

I see, thanks. So basically a suite of networking hardware solutions? What I found the most confusing is that they sort of differentiate UniFi from WiFi. E.g. "Instant WiFi for retail POS" - yes, like any other WiFi router? Or is this box going to connect to a global mesh that's called UniFi?..
