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.
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

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

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)

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
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.

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
