For $150 this looks pretty awesome. We offer home managed Wi-Fi and this replaces the security gateway and AP with a single box.
Which security gateway? Not the USG.
I bought 3 ubiquity access points a couple of years ago for my parents and was shocked to find that they could only be configured by the unify mobile app which doesn’t recognise them because they’re so old. Just be aware of that behaviour when buying into this ecosystem! https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/12594679474071-Standal...
I just picked up another UniFi Protect camera that was only taken out of the box once on a marketplace, just because the person wasn't aware of what they are buying.
Weird that the ethernet ports are only 1GbE, that discounts everyone with a >1Gbit internet connection
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.
Why should a backup from my laptop to my file server be limited to 1gbps? Has nothing to do with outside connection. Tehre are a lot of use cases for faster home networking irrelevant of network speed to the external world
It looks really cool, but personally I'm starting to give up on wifi. The spectrum in my neighborhood is so over utilized that at certain points during the evening I get random dropout in my wifi coverage. Every single thing that can be wired will be wired. The UniFi Express seems to be geared towards mesh networking, I still don't trust that to be reliable.

Do you think Ubiquiti APs are still good, I have not used them since 2018?
I regret my time spent on Ubiquiti devices at home use, in the past five years my view has changed from very positive to entirely negative. They are getting worse instead of better, I am seriously considering getting rid of all Ubiquiti devices from my home, Ubiquiti software updates lack testing and break things often, I simply don’t have time to baby sit them anymore. Their iOS app has become harder to navigate wit…

And do they cost the same? I also wouldn't call it nothing, 2.5g switches have much higher consumption and get hotter, let alone 10g.
I’ve got 2.5G switches at home and they easily run off 12V 0.8A power adapters (8 port 2.5G 1x 10g)

On the upside, I haven’t touched the device since. In my experience they are fantastic for zero maintenance and ‘just works’ once setup

That’s…Not an accurate description of how things work in the real world. There are large enterprises out there with NGFWs that aren’t doing much TLS inspection. Your average mom and pop business is more likely to have a wifi AP/router/NAT gateway combo from their ISP than something as feature rich as Unifi, let alone a real NGFW.
Every major company I’ve been at absolutely positively does NOT MitM their own traffic. They pay security people well enough to realize what a massive hole that creates in their security posture, and makes the intercepting appliance a cess pit of regulatory toxic waste. PCI, MNPI, even HIPPA from employees visiting their health insurance site? Check, check, check! All on a silver platter for insiders and hackers.
As for things like HIPPA - that’s why you do URL categorization and bypass those destinations.

I’ve definitely gone off their routers since they basically abandoned the EdgeRouter line. I still use their APs for now, sometimes the switches, they’re all pretty solid, but I’ve been gradually getting more and more negative about Ubiquiti in general…
ER3-Lite can run OpenBSD.
