This thread is kinda bonkers.
People complain about the USG3 not being able to route 1gb/s (IIRC, it's 10 years old, and always capped at 250mb/s), or the UDMP Pro at 10GB/s IDS/IDP (It can run at 2.5GB/s with IDP and IDS). Wireguard and policy based routing (which is why most people were sticking away from their routers) are in place, and far simpler to maintain then alternating options from PFSense and Cisco. The magic VPN stuff really feels like Apple when it just works.
Their WAPs are a bit pricey on for 6E support, but otherwise are generally considered the best prosumer WAPs available, and competitive (and cheaper) then most enterprise options. They are overkill if you don't need management, but in a IoT world, you need VLAN management. The VOP and security cameras and phones are solid. Best of all this run cloudless. You buy the hardware, the software is free and runs locally. Even their enterprise software is being ported to run on device (and free for prosumer use cases)
This is part of three new devices that are strongly targeting the old Apple base station market. The third - UDR ultra - is coming out soon (it was leaked in the same art dump that this and the other device was leaked) and has 2.5GB/s WAN and LAN. IF you want to run their VOIP / camera / door system, there is the UDM Pro and UDM Pro SE. I have the base level UDM Pro with a 2.5 GB/s primary and a 1GB fiber secondary. Works great, auto-failover, firewall management, VPN, RADIUS, etc.
In general, if you want WIFI and network that just works, but still does policy based routing, VLAN management, can dump to Prometheus (with unifipoller), run VOIP and security cameras (even with Homekit secure support, thanks to Scrypted), this is the solution for you. I run my in-laws and my parents network stack remotely with UDRs. I highly recommend them.
If you want to run your own hardware, or have even more power, buy your own and run OPNsense, or go upmarket. For everyone else, this stack rocks.

That said, I have a UniFi router and 3 wifi 6 APs and my network is super solid. Way better than any prosumer targeted router (note that I previously ran 3 netgear nighthawk). The UniFi stack was actually cheaper and is unquestionably more reliable. If you’re looking at those very high end prosumer routers, I’d very much advise taking a step back and looking at alternatives.
- koinedad 3y agoI have the same basic setup and it’s been so refreshing having a network that just works. I was an old AirPort Express user and after trying other WiFi setups like netgear, etc this has been night and day. And moving was a breeze, unplug, get internet service, and plug in
