Regarding Internet speeds, in my anecdotal real-world experience, the UDM-SE generally delivered the sustained broadband speed of around 6.5Gbp out of a 10Gbps Fiber-optic line -- as shown in the screenshot above.

For new deployments however it's a harder choice both are great products this really comes down to how is it going to be used and is it worth the extra money?

Some controllers can run more applications simultaneously and allow each application to handle more hardware units than others. Overall, the console's Protect worked extremely well with supported cameras in my trial -- it makes an excellent home surveillance system. If you want to use them with a non-Ubiquiti device, such as a managed Multi-Gig switch, set the third-party device's SFP+ port in DAC or Auto (and not SFP+) mode. Else, no SFP+ copper cable will work. In terms of Internet speeds via Wi-Fi, in my anecdotal daily usage, I generally got around half a Gig from the router -- out of a 10Gbps Fiber-optic line -- as shown in the screenshot above. In fact, this is my exact setup. On the 10Gbps capable SFP+ WAN port, I am currently using SFP+ 10GBase-T Transceiver connecting to SURFboard S33 modem 2.5 Gbps port.The UDM-SE hardware leaves much to be desired, especially on the network port front. The console would be much closer to a dream come true (for me) if it had a few 10GBASE-T ports. Still, it's vastly superior to the UDR, as shown in the table below. Ubiquiti UDM-SE vs UDR: Hardware specifications Power method (1) Universal AC input, 100-240VAC, 4.4A Max, 50/60 Hz(1) USP-RPS DC input, 52VDC, 3.94A This will install FRR and enable as a service. Once installed, edit /etc/frr/daemons and ensure that bgpd is enabled: zebra=no

It took me quite some time to finally review the Ubiquiti Dream Machine Special Edition (UDM-SE). I generally cover consumer products, and this is an advanced device designed for pro-consumers, SMBs, or even enterprise environments.But that's just semantics. UniFi OS 2.4.9 takes the Ubiquiti UDR out of the Early Access stage and adds two more applications, Talk and Access, to its supported list. Regarding Bryan’s claims he seems well informed but ofc random person on the internet disclaimer applies. That said I did see comments regarding the UDR trying to chew more it can eat with the meager processor on board.. The UniFi family -- represented by the Dream Machine (UDM), UDM-Pro, the Dream Router (UDR), or UDM-SE... -- aims at business/pro/enterprise users. They are comprehensive consoles acting as the central controllers of various products, of which networking devices are only part of the picture. In fact, coupling the UDM-SE with the U6 Enterprise and you'll get a better Wi-Fi solution than the Dream Wall with a couple of hundred US dollars to spare. (The console can manage any UniFi APs via the Network application.)

Still, Ubiquiti's UniFi Dream Router is one of the most feature-rich routers any home user can find, partly because it's an enterprise-grade device. You might not have everything you'd like from it, but you sure will get more compared to any other home Wi-FI router of the same price point. Ubiquiti UDR: Excellent performance the UDR also offers POE port and storage for a NVR. It’s designed for small business that have a few needs. for that price point, it’s amazing.

You can get Wi-Fi 7 router today, but the standard is not yet ready, and nobody knows how exactly it will be when it's eventually certified.I didn't test the system as a mesh this time around, but I might do that when Ubiquiti releases the Wi-Fi 6 version of the BeaconHD, the U6 I tried that with the BeaconHD extender, and the process was painless. After I plugged the extender into power, the UDR automatically detected it and prompted -- both in the mobile app and the web user interface -- to add it. I have a friend where we did a U6-LR with the UDR and a Flex camera and 16port Unifi POE switch. No issues there, everything connects better then ever. I will say though that the U6-LR doesn’t have the best range in comparison though but it still does a robust job and even the throughput has increased over time with firmware updates.
