Ubiquiti UniFi UDM-SE Dream Machine Special Edition 10G HyperFibre Router

Not cheap but worth it if you’re on gigabit and want ids/ips faster than a USG/usg4 Not cheap but worth it if you’re on gigabit and want ids/ips faster than a USG/usg4

If you can manage without some advanced features, it’s still great product! I have not yet found a better affordable networking ecosystem yet. If next generation Unifi gateways will have some other than Unifi OS or they will fix Unifi OS issues, I’m definitely going for it.

This was a significant upgrade from a Cloud Key, Security Gateway, and a 16 port PoE switch that we had previously. In addition to collapsing 3U into 1, it provided a much faster gateway that is able to better process Fibre Max with more DPI and IDS, has an SFP+ port to the LAN, as well as 8 PoE ports that are perfect for cameras and wireless access points. The 3.5" bay was filled with a 6TB drive for the cameras, and was easier than upgrading the Cloud Key's 2.5" drive. It doesn't come cheap, but it sure packs a lot in that one U!

I’m not that enamoured with this router. I think a better buy would be an ordinary Dream Machine with a switch that provides POE if that’s the reason you are purchasing. I’m also somewhat disappointed with the Wi-Fi performance from the Unifi U6-LR:110D access point that I’m using with it compared to my old router, but that’s another story. The interface is a GUI that does everything the unit is supposed to be capable of. The VPN offering is currently limited to L2TP unless you include the rather limited Teleport function. No Open VPN support or Wireguard. If you like swapping between two Guis and using what can only be described as a...view more I’m not that enamoured with this router.
