I can only assume that the Ubiquiti Unifi USW Flex Mini is penance for the debacle that is the UDM/UDM-Pro. Because where the Unifi Dream Machine is deeply flawed, this $30 fully managed, PoE switch is the opposite. Great value, great features, and it works the way it’s supposed to. Brilliant.

Creating port forward rules is a fundamental part of any firewall. This video demonstrates how to create, and troubleshoot firewall rules using the Ubiquiti Unifi platform. Most of the discussion revolves around the UDM-Pro, but I also show some of the differences between it and doing the same thing with a USG.

I had some time on my hands this evening, so I figured it was as good a time as any to take the Ubiquiti Unifi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro) out of the rack and put it in a quiet place to record how loud it is generally, and at maximum fan speed. Unfortunately, while I was at it, I found […]

It’s not all bad news when it comes to the Ubiquiti Unifi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro), but I did get decidedly mixed results when, after getting 10Gbps SFP+ working, I got down to testing the UDM-Pro’s LAN-to-WAN performance via iPerf to find out what it can do with Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) on, and with it off. The raw numbers […]

One of the reasons I love, like, still use (I kid, but our relationship is a bit rocky right now) Ubiquiti Unifi kit is the feature set per dollar. With this new PoE powered five port managed switch setting a new standard at $29. Yeah, $29 for a managed switch. I’ve already ordered one, but could see myself selling off […]

If you’re having trouble adopting a Unifi AP (access point), need to change a network IP, or curious how to setup and configure a wireless network on a UDM or UDM-Pro so that it has it’s own VLAN/subnet for management reasons (i.e. parental controls). This video walks through all the steps to do that, as well as discussing some features […]

The Ubiquiti Unifi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro) came out of Early Access (closed BETA) recently, and now anyone with $379 + tax + shipping can buy one. But the TLDR, is that Ubiquiti has rushed this device to market. Not only is it lacking many of the features of the USG lineup, it also has many bugs and issues. Unless […]

I imagine that many people have been eagerly awaiting the release of the Unifi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro). I would definetly include myself in the bunch (actually made sure to place my order before writing this post :P), although it wasn’t access to Unifi Protect, or all the Cloud-key stuff built in, so much as the upgraded CPU – which […]

Not sure what’s up with all the product announcements lately, but this is a good one if you have a Unifi system, need better wireless coverage, and can’t run more Cat. Yep, this is Ubiquiti’s Unifi $129 dedicated mesh product (Amplifi is the a mesh/mesh product), but the more interesting thing about this product announcement (at least to me) is […]

With a built in 4×4 802.11ac Wave2 MU-MIMO access point, five GbE (1x WAN, 4x LAN), and a CPU capable of 700Mbps (according to Reddit, Ubiquiti doesn’t appear to have any official claims), this $299 all-in-one network solution looks a great option for many home users that want a better network experience. Personally, I’m much more interested by the business […]
