Never mind that, check this out: https://ca.store.ui.com/ca/en/pro/category/all-cloud-keys-ga... Finally a viable USG3 replacement.
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.
Obviously 2x 10G uplinks don't make a whole lot of sense ;)
Enabling the IDS drops throughout to about 3G (IIRC) but IDS is snake oil at the best of times.
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…

You are forgetting that most business' needs are extremely minimal. By volume there are more bakeries, bars, gyms, one man doctor's offices, little car dealerships, hair salons than businesses that have actual IT needs. And for those businesses a dream router is fine if not a bit overkill.

The cost of 2.5G chipsets is so low it really shouldn't matter especially for a 'premium' product like this.
Exactly my thought. Why not just spend the little extra and do 2.5G ports. There is one potential hurdle though: they specifically mention that it can handle 1G of traffic even if you enable a bunch of features. They would have had to upgrade the processors to be able to make the same claim at 2.5

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.
Udm pro SE is the best thing I bought. 10g, protect for camera selfhosting which works great, new updates made wireguard first class citizen, and if you want anything more complicated it's just a dumb debian underneath (which I do a bunch of stuff). I'm reallt happy with it.
Are you doing persistence (keep settings/data after reboot) with Unifi OS 3?
Could anyone help explain what this is. Is it just a fancy WiFi router?
Sort of, and sort of not. UniFi requires a controller that gives you a single pane of glass style interface to control everything. Most of their controllers can run multiple applications, the top two being Network and Protect. Network runs their Routing, WiFi AP's, and Switches and gives you in depth data about what's going on where. Protect is their NVR system, which also does some AI stuff and ties into a few other…
> single pane of glass style interface
I am lucky enough to have FTTH service where the provider furnishes me with an SFP stick with simple DHCP (no PPPoE). Beyond UniFi, Microtik, and rolling your own, there’s very little option in consumer routers.
Yep, just had my ISP take my SFP ONT back for a regular RJ45 ONT so I could use a different firewall with RJ45 only WAN. Hard to find a good box with SFP WAN.

I've seen this term used a lot lately, what does it mean? > single pane of glass style interface
Everything on one screen in a GUI with graphs. I THINK it comes from aviation, where the transition from steam gauges to MFDs to really big MFDs meant some massive UI changes.
That may not be quite accurate, but it’s as close as my brain can do this late.
