From its sleek design to its unparalleled performance, this router has transformed my home network setup into a seamlessly connected oasis.Setup:The moment I unboxed the UniFi Dream Router, I was struck by its modern and minimalistic design.

Title: Computer dummy friendly
Review: If you donât know much about computers, WiFi, networking or routers this is the router for you. It was easy to plug in, set up and start working. I tell you I am a computer dummy. I donât know anything about setting up a computer system and this was easy. It does cost a bit much, but itâs worth it. My I.T. guy loves it too and couldnât believe I attempted install myself.

Title: LOVE IT!!! All I can say!
Review: This is an amazing consumer class router. Its management is quite flexible and the UI displays all the needed info for your network in the app. It's an amazing router, likely my favorite I've owned over the last 30+ years of geeking out on computers. Wide variety of network management options, and security options. Only thing I'd like perhaps to improve it is to have some of the cloud options available on local management.

Title: Most Amazing Router I've Ever Owned
Review: This router is quality, from the second you open the box. Packaging is like unboxing a Leica camera or high end Apple computer. I also upgraded my access points with Ubiquiti U6+ "flying saucers".I literally pulled the router out of the box, plugged it in to power and two ethernet cables and fired up the UniFi app on my Android. Reset the switch and PoE devices with a power off/on....about one minute later...BAM!!! Fastest internet I've had at home. Screens are now instantaneous.Wow!

Title: BEST home/small office network management system I know of!
Review: Get this!Isolate your IoT with VLANs. This is easy to do and secures your privacy.Ubiquiti's Console tool is easy and almost automatic. Clients on your network are identified and their access can be controlled with Virtual Local Area Networks. (There are lots of YT videos to help you get 'er done)I converted my whole network to Ubiquiti (Unifi) - I found that I coould not get my NetGear managed switches to play nice with Unifi.I have no regrets. Buy it!

Title: Good overall, but louder than expected
Review: I'm mostly satisfied with the product. It was easy to configure (disclosure: I do have computer networking expertise), has a very solid feature set for home use, and functions well. I also appreciate that it has a standard plug instead of a bulky AC adapter which makes cable management easier. The only notable negative is the noise from the internal fan. It's not loud, but it's enough to be noticable and a bit distracting in a quiet room.

Title: Ethernet ports DOA
Review: I purchased a new UDR this week. From the moment I have unboxed it, no wired connections are working, other than another unifi device. Computers and other devices plugged in directly, with different ports/cables all show disconnected on both ends. I've factory reset and updated firmware twice, toggled all settings, and opened two support tickets in the last 48 hrs. I have received one automated response, which was just a link to initial setup guide - not relevant to my issue at all. I am completely unable to get a hold of support. They only have chat support during EST business hours, with zero support outside of this. I chose UDR because I use Unifi products at work professionally, and I have never had this much trouble. Given the reputation Unifi has I am incredibly disappointed and shocked by the lack of any form of support for this issue. I would strongly advise considering alternatives.

Review: In my efforts to find and build the components for a wireless system off our Starlink satellite between various buildings on a property, I finally choose to go with the UniFi Dream Router (UDR). As part of of this setup, we also purchased three (3) UniFi AC Mesh units to attached to the exterior of each building. Initial setup was hampered by the UDR not going through the initial setup properly and finally realized we had to reset it back to the factory setup by pushing the small tiny button the bottom of it. Went through the setup and worked as promised. Once that was done, we hardwired the AC Mesh unit from the UDR (100 ft. Cat6 cable) to the exterior of the shop and then simply put the Starlink router into bypass mode in order to run off the UDR. With just the Starlink router in place, the shop was at about 45-60 mbps (enough to do work) and AFTER the UDR was setup with the AC Mesh units, the speed in both the shop and surrounding area including the house (100 feet away) shot to an average of 230mbps to 300mgps. We didn't even need to setup the two remaining mesh units. UniFi mobile app is extremely slick and handles everything we need to adopt any other UniFo products to the router. Highly recommend this product!

Review: I did this more for an experiment and learning how to navigate the interface...But there's hardly any learning to do! Everything is so easy to find and the topology view is just plain slick. With a Synology NAS, this becomes powerful, can access both from anywhere in the world, setup docker containers and then port forward what I need through the router, I can setup almost anything, limited only by my own skill or imagination.

Review: My IT team at work recommended that I swap over to a Ubiquiti platform. So I have access points and now this router. I'm not exactly tech genius but I can sure follow directions when they make it this easy.
