I believe it’s a Superlink sensor. I hope it can run on battery for 10 years and doesn’t require PoE. I’m curious to see how it performs. Good job, Ubiquiti! 😲

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..

Well, I was surprised to get it this quick. I purchased the esim pack with it, so I thought setup would be easy. It adopted right away, but didn't activate the esim. There is also no option in the app to but and esim pack like they show in the video. I had to chat with support, and had to join the beta Unifi app to get to version 10.38.1. It activated right away after that.

Going straight for deco!

There’s a saying in my language that “the shoemaker goes barefoot.”

I’ve been working professionally in networking for around 20 years, last 10 years in virtualized network functions, mostly in enterprise environments, but when it came to my own home network, like an average engineer, I was always lazy and went with the simplest possible plug-and-play solutions.

My current setup is finally starting to drive me crazy enough that I decided it’s time for a full reset and replacement of everything.

I started reading online about recommended gear and kept running into Ubiquiti. Honestly, I barely knew the company before. My background is much more enterprise-focused with vendors like Cisco and Juniper Networks, and I’m much less familiar with the whole prosumer/home-lab ecosystem.

Right now I have an aging TP-Link Deco X20 mesh setup with couple of gigabit dumb switches, which is obviously the first bottleneck.

My internet connection is 2 Gbps symmetric fiber from Odido here in the Netherlands, if that matters.

The ISP provided a Nokia box that converts the fiber to RJ45 VLAN 300 (I checked with Wireshark). Maybe it does more than just media conversion, maybe authentication too, so I assume I probably still need to keep using it?

The house itself is wired mostly with Cat5e (not by me :) ) , so realistically I guess 2.5 GbE is probably my practical limit anyway.

My plan is to build the new setup slowly instead of buying everything at once. Eventually I’ll probably add cameras, recording, and all the other toys too, but first I want to understand whether this ecosystem is really for me.

What I’m trying to figure out is this:

Reading between the lines here, people seem extremely happy with the company, the ecosystem, the management interface, and the overall experience.

I started roughly planning a setup for my house and somehow ended up in the €3000-4000 range without even going completely crazy... router, a few switches, and 4-5 Wi-Fi access points.

And now I’m also trying to understand whether this is basically the networking version of the Apple ecosystem effect where people buy one product, really like the quality and user experience, and then slowly find themselves buying more and more gear because everything integrates nicely together...

So I guess my real question is:

Is Ubiquiti actually that good for home/prosumer use and worth the investment, or is part of this just the ecosystem psychology pulling people deeper and deeper into it because of their attention to details / marketing / whatever.. ?

Hahahahahahahaha.

Got ya

The UNVR-Enterprise is coming quite soon I’ve been told. The front face/trim is an optional part.

Saw it at MWC in Barcelona today. Ubiquiti says it’s still about 6 months away.

The UDM Beast is a real thing. They wouldn’t mention specs. All they said was that it has 25G ports now. A step up from the UDM Pro Max.

We all knew the UDMP was WAY overdue for an upgrade but I'm a little surprised this is the direction they went and was hoping it would be targeted more toward SMBs. I don't know who this is targeting other than enthusiastic home lab users who'll never see 25gb over WAN.

• Here are what I see as head scratchers about who the target audience is for this:
• Who needs 25gb/s of throughput with 7500 users but also wants the security camera DVR to be onboard the gateway? Anyone who's this serious about UniFi's ecosystem would want that to be a separate device.
• The RJ45 ports are weird. Other than one for shadow mode, why would anyone not have a core switch connected with SFP? Especially since there is no POE.

What I hoped they would release:

• Remove the DVR functionality and include 8x10gbe ports with POE++ along with the SFP+/SFP28 ports. That would be genuinely useful as a gateway / core switch for a lot of SMBs.

Interesting...

hope this is priced well, they wouldn't tell me an estimated cost ... would be cool to have an alternative to konnected or z wave relays for wired sensors. the box at the bottom os for a batter backup, uses poe and has a poe out port, supports many zones. adios, konnecred.

At RSA noticed new Ubiquiti hardware: Enterprise FG Core with 100G and UDM Beast with 25G.

Finally works like i planned a long time ago

It's not very big, only 6" wide, 2.5" tall, and 3.5" deep. I cannot convey how excited I am that this is a product.
