Weird that the ethernet ports are only 1GbE, that discounts everyone with a >1Gbit internet connection
This product that has a huge caveat that limits it to many people's applications: > UniFi Express supports up to 5 connected UniFi Network devices, including other UniFi Express units, switches, and WiFi access points. Even my home has one AP per floor (3x) and 3x Unifi switches. This is clearly an artificial limitation for market segmentation reasons. I'm not going to rip out Unifi switches to go unmanaged, just for…
The 50 vlan limit on their top of line stuff is the only reason we don't deploy them exclusively across our biz.
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.
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?
Depends on specific model. Qualcomm-based ones are still good.

This is my biggest knock against Ubiquiti at the moment. They have no real solutions in the 2.5GbE/10GbE market.
The UDM-SE I have has a 10Gbps and 2.5Gbps WAN ports: https://store.ui.com/us/en/pro/category/all-unifi-cloud-gate... They also have multi-Gbps switches up to 25Gbps SFP28: https://store.ui.com/us/en?category=all-switching

After some FW update made 2.4Ghz wifi unusable on the UDM I will never again buy anything from them. Tons of bug reports from users that never got answered. The hardware is mediocre anyway. Either buy Mikrotik as cheap and cheerful or go for broke with Ruckus/Meraki/etc. With Ruckus the 2x2 stuff has turned out not too impressive so would need to shell out even more with 4x4. Meraki is incredible but the subscription…

It's $149. I think you're expecting more from it than what your more advanced home setup needs. Mind you it talks a big talk for that price.
Having a few APs to cover a house is far from"advanced" setup. We live in times where lawn movers need wifi.
What does this product do? Wanted to purchase, but not sure what the purpose is.
Why do you want to purchase it before you know what it does? It's an entry-level WiFi router with UniFi's Network software, which provides the ability to buy more UniFi gear (switches and additional APs) if you have a really big house and/or wish to connect more than 1 device over ethernet. Unlike its bigger siblings, the Dream Router and the Dream Machine, it lacks additional built-in ethernet ports (i.e. you'd need…
Another confused product from UniFi. Is it targeting home users or businesses? It looks like businesses from their web page yet feels very much like a better fit for home. It only runs UniFi Network, so you have to buy more things, that also run UniFi Network, to get into any of their other products like Protect. I like their stuff but lately a lot of their stuff feels just confused to me, like they don't know what t…
"What is UniFi Express? It's a UniFi stack in a box." What the heck, lol?
"Wi-Fi at remote sites." It's a 5G hotspot?
"Secure WAN VPN between remote offices." It's managed Wireguard?
It's a Wi-Fi AP with a weather forecast LCD on the front? I must not be the target demo.
