Reviews around router (5.00 of 5)

  • so be sure your router is working before making this mod
  • This is an excellent fairly full featured router as I will explain shortly
  • Certainly is a best router/gateway/security appliance out there
  • This is a very nice router for the price and there aren’t any long-term license fees to go with it which make it a good option for home or small businesses without a budget for licenses.

Reviews around management (5.00 of 5)

  • The advantage of the integrated solutions from Ubiquiti is simplified management and integration into a single "pane of glass
  • Like all the other Ubiquiti products, the user interface is fairly good and the ability to connect this device to all the other Ubiquiti devices makes management that much easier
  • Also, the full, and optional, cloud based remote management of the Unifi stack is exceptional for people like myself that have to manage customers remotely

Reviews around expect (5.00 of 5)

  • If interested, detailed steps follow below, but so far the device is working as expected without issue except the fan noise is somewhat loud which, depending upon intended location, may or may not be a problem
  • The unit is fantastic as expected but the lack of SPF connectivity to the Unifi Switch is disappointing for the pro grade unit.
  • Easy setup, works exactly as expected

Reviews around security (5.00 of 5)

  • This device enhances security, add flexibility and permits greater control over my current home network
  • For example it has direct site-to-site VPN setup (which only works if all your sites were Unifi, mine was not), or it can connect to an existing OpenVPN network with a shared key (not the best security, but works)

  • The GUI is great and it integrates well with the rest of the Ubiquiti ecosystem and also seems to cooperate with other appliances such as Cisco

Reviews around thing (4.16 of 5)

  • This thing, along with the PRO Access Point, has really simplified my networking life
  • Honestly, this thing is a pain
  • Its a great box, they have tons and tons of features, and the best thing if you get them all intergrated it works flawlessly
  • Functionally this thing is awesome, its fast and in my home network is
  • Major issues- Port forwarding, we have 13 static IPS and this thing requires SSH/FTP work to set up basic filters that my Zyxel had on, for example ports and services to specific computers

Reviews around gateway (3.86 of 5)

  • This is a great gateway for anyone that wants to have full control over security within your network
  • Very nice gateway, requires installing configuration app on a local machine for full control
  • Once that's set, the gateway absolutely refuses to allow itself to be adopted if you won't let it sit at 192.168.1.1
  • These gateways are not ready for production deployment.
  • The first Gateway Pro I ordered was defective and would reboot itself randomly multiple times a day

Reviews around software (3.86 of 5)

  • of).The software is capable for both small and enterprise installations
  • While certain features are not modifiable via the GUI Ubiquiti is constantly improving the firmware and controller software to make advanced configuration options easier.
  • However there are plenty of IT folks out there who have posted videos on many aspects of setup and the software is very intuitive.
  • Worthless software-
  • The software is easy to use for those trained in IT.All in all an easy fit to our existing systems.

Reviews around setup (3.75 of 5)

  • Working with individual devices I must log in to and setup was like building a prehistoric network
  • My setup with U-verse hit some snags, but Ubiquiti makes great
  • Setup was funky, but it has been running solid on att uverse gigabit fiber for months with no problems.
  • Sure it's different from what you're used to but, setup and management is so stupid easy that I'm sure you'll grow to love it!
  • Nice to have it rack mounted with my Unifi Switch, gives me my bandwidth in the Unifi Controller, nice whole setup.

  • Nice turnkey solution with a good feature set for the cost.
  • Some basic features don't work like problems creating vlans.

Reviews around fan noise (1.00 of 5)

  • If interested, detailed steps follow below, but so far the device is working as expected without issue except the fan noise is somewhat loud which, depending upon intended location, may or may not be a problem
  • I am going to leave off one star though for the stock fan noise and necessary DIY to fix it.
  • I have one other piece of equipment with a fan (a standard PC) in the same area, so there's already a tiny amount of fan noise.
  • So far I've only had one issue with it which was the stock fan noise
  • I prefer rack mounted gear when possible but this made a little too much fan noise to put in a quiet office room
