I like your content. But if I want subtitles, I'll turn on subtitles. The flashing text is just distracting for me and I'd really prefer to be able to turn it off.
I was waiting for you to make a video with your thoughts on this router! Thank you so much! I’ve been looking at this for my home to get started building out my home network 😁
I didn't realize it was going to do both when I did that. I won't be doing that moving forward. Sorry about that. Still learning this RU-vid editing stuff...
I got my UCG Max yesterday - great device overall, but I have 1 complaint. It runs very hot - 75C on idle with just Network enabled. One note to people that plan to get the no storage version - I got the upgraded 1TB version and what they sent me was actually the no storage version and the nvme was a separate package. The no storage version does not have the nvme tray - it just has a plug for the hole. The separate package with the drive actually has the tray with the drive, so if someone plans to add storage later has to buy it from Unifi or they will not be able to just plug in a drive in the device.
Reminds me of the unifi 8 port Poe switch I installed to power 5 Unifi LR AC access points for my friends church. Always ran hot stopped working just outside of the warranty but ubuqiti honored the warranty and sent a new one, sadly that switch ran hot also and made it about 3 years before dying. Had a Unfi 16 Port Poe switch still going today ran Luke warm at most
I concur. @salvatorefranco8356 That is the UDR that has the limit... And it actually 3 now I believe if you had one. It was increased from 2 to 3 with a software update...
Hmm i plan to buy all my home networking stuff later in the year and starting from scratch... And i fit the description you mentioned in video, a home business/prosumer I want to have unify protect (doorbell) and maybe 2 cameras (still havent figured if ubiquity or other) + going to get NAS (leaning to synology) + a couple AP I thought i had to get udm pro/se + poe switch but looks like can get this gateway max + poe switch Looking forward to your next set videos to flesh this out some more , thanks for the update
You definately don't need the SE. This guy should handle what you mentioned just fine. I think you would like Unifi cameras. They are a good mix of quality and price and mine have been trouble free ever since I have owned them. I just upgraded but my old ones were still working fine!
@@ethernetblueprint thank you for replying and confirming what I understood. starting from scratch on home Networking knowledge and your videos and a few others have been everything for me and it's been fun and daunting at the same time. Hey I haven't seen anything in these home Networking guides or sorry if I haven't yet played the video if you cover this, for UPS , would you recommend unify RPS? Or any recommendations? Yeah I still don't know about the camera decision, I probably will phase that in later. I know I want the unify doorbell , 24/7 and package notification are important But the additional cameras, I'm not sold on it being worth the unify premium. And I find it might be enticing to steal or damage at that price. Also Unify doesn't seem to offer a 180 deg and its night vision capabilities isnt leading the pack either. I like idea of one platform, and premium vendor and maybe g5 ptz that moves to make up for the lack of 180... I don't know ...also I think floodlight with camera is extra addon but for cameras I'm not that into. More RU-vid watching ... Thank you again for your videos, great content
Thanks for the reply. To answer the question you asked, I don't know there is a reason for the RPS in a home. I typically use a UPS in my home for that. I do have a video on what I use and show how I got it online and monitor it... but its not part of the series...
I really would like to see a version of Cloud Gateway Max SE WiFi, with PoE and WiFi Build in. It can be selling at £500 and I will still willing to paid for it. But, I believe only PoE will be possible in the future version?
Cloud gateway max is the in case of an emergency break glass gateway for UDM owners. Or it's the one you get your parents because you manage their network.
This is a side move from the UDR. This model can run all the apps but has no POE ports and does have a clumsy power brick. I despise external bricks. They represent laziness on the part of the industrial designer that translates to a headache on my part. An upgraded UDR would have been better.
I have a 2g fiber link so this leaves performance on the table. Maybe with intrusion disabled it could do the 2g? Anyway just bought a udm-se, plus a pro max 16 Poe. Plan to do a dual WAN with 2g fiber main, with 300mbps cable backup.
Thanks for the video. I am new to ubiquity. I got the 1TB version of this. Will that store the recordings from future cameras or will I need a separate device?
Wish they did an Express sized WiFI Access point ONLY without all the gateway stuff to marry with this. Yes, you can get one of the round ones but it looks better if all the devices look the same. Yes, you can run the Express in Access point only mode, but I better it would be cheaper if it was just an Access Point out the box.
Well the Unifi Express devices can be setup as APs with this device and you can turn off the gateway features - just in case you weren't aware of that. The U6 Mesh/FlexHD is also a table top model of AP.
They have the U7 Pro Wall, it even has a table stand as official accessory. i have also seen people placing the U6 In Wall on a phone holder instead of mounting it on the wall
Not many of the APs come with injectors anymore. So, it depends on the model you get. And I agree with you on the 10Gb networking however, there are MANY who would disagree with us.
Its just a shame that it doesn't have 2 POE. I think for home users 1gb is enough for 1 device per port. The 2.5 gb really shines when with a u7 ap at 2.5 which might have 5+ devices sharing the band width allowing devices to not be bottle necked by a single 1gb port. Are there any child controls on Unifi at all? Also did you see that (although not really for home) there's a new king to replace the SE, the EFG at 10gb and cost of 2k, licence free it looks good!
You make good points here. Would be nice to have at least 1 POE port. As far as child controls, I will say "kinda". It depends on what your definition of that is and what features you are looking for. I use Firewalla in my home for that because I think it does a better job. I plan on doing a video on that soon.
Thanks for the comment. I have been asked this multiple times... I am waiting until I get fiber to my home so I don't have triple NAT happening... but yes, I plan on doing some VPN videos....
If your netgear router has the ability to be put in AP mode, then you could connect it to one of the LAN ports and use it for WiFi. However Unifi works with Unifi products very well. In this scenario, you would have to program both of them individually and troubleshooting problems could be tricky.
@@ethernetblueprint wait, I just want to confirm I understand this correctly. This thing doesn't work as a router without an SSD in the slot? So why are they selling a non-storage $199 version? I was going to buy the $199 version to use as a router only.
Yes.. That will work.... It is a router that you can add storage to if you wanted to have it do cameras also. And if you decide you want to add cameras later, you can add storage to the $199 version and still do that down the road. I am waiting on the $199 version too!
There is now the EFG. This Fortress Gateway is a UDM se replacement with 10gb and the new security analysis, which the basics of are subscription free!
Yet again, Ubiquiti announce a product that, while amazing, isn’t clearly located in their product roadmap… If only they announced a bunch of devices at once for a new gen - wouldn’t that be good (rather than this piecemeal way they go about it)
