Ubiquiti released a new “stable” firmware update for the UDM & UDM-Pro. This is huge news because the UDM hasn’t really gotten the love it deserves, despite being first to market. Undisclosed in the release notes is the ability to restore from a non-default backup, which unfortunately doesn’t go well for me…

I was looking forward to the release of Unifi Protect 1.14.19 because rumor had it that by moving the configuration for the NVR to external storage recording events would now survive a hard reset of the UDM-Pro host. Given how things have been going with the UDM-Pro, the result was not surprising.

It’s too early to say exactly, but given the length of the “Known Issues” I’m going to speculate that “stable” is only relative to version 1.6.4. Here’s hoping that they can knock a few more of these out, as well as the one that affects me (selfish, IKR).

The ability to run Ubiquiti’s Unifi Protect network video recorder (NVR) on the Unifi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro), is one of the key differences between it and the standard UDM.

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 […]

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 […]

Due to a bug in the Unifi mobile app, I incorrectly stated that the UDM-Pro’s SFP+ ports were completely broken. As it turns out, they do work, but only barely.
