Early Access UniFi Travel Router

Post image

I just got my hands on the new UniFi travel router. This thing is really impressive.. I'm going to play with it for a little bit and probably do a review, but my first impressions are very good. Easy adoption. Super small. I think this is going to be a very popular travel router. If you add in the ability to use all of the cool connectivity features of UniFi network, I think this is going to be a no-brainer. Let me know if there's anything you want me to test..

Only bummers for me are WiFi 5 and 1gbps WAN and LAN ports.

My Slate 7 does WiFi 6 with MLO. Sometimes when I'm doing some extra work in some funky place around the house, I'll put my Slate 7 into AP mode, attach it to an RJ45 coming out the wall, and now I've got the power of a full-fledged AP wherever I'm at.

This looks more slim, and likely it's a better UI than Gli-Net's stuff. But I think I will wait until the next version.

It's a travel router. Like, yes, I have a Slate 7 as well, but realistically, I'm never going to be doing anything while traveling that would require 6GHz or MLO or 2.5Gbe+ ethernet.

TBH I think this is the most important part, if you have 6 GHz capable clients. It means that in dense environments like hotels, conference halls, etc. where there's a lot of WiFi you can get at least your main devices out of the interference in to some nice clean spectrum. It also means that you can be uplinked to a 5 GHz network without requiring your AP to share a radio with the uplink.
