Ubiquiti UDM-PRO UniFi Dream Machine Pro

Best Network Setup Ever

I have been through so many different networking setups for home and small business and this is by FAR the most efficient, fastest, and easiest solution I have ever used. I honestly cannot brag enough about this solution. I've used pretty much all the major mesh brands (Eero, Nest, Orbi, etc) and this is so, so much easier. I literally had my entire network up and running, including WiFi, in under 15 minutes. And 80% of that was just hooking up the devices. The configuration took less than 3 minutes. It was that easy. The biggest thing you do need to spend time on is understanding exactly what all equipment you need. Most of their devices, especially WiFi (such as the U7-Pro-US), use power-over-ethernet (PoE). That doesn't require any special cabling and help to remove extra wires for power, but it requires additional devices. The UDM-PRO does NOT have any PoE ports, which is the one significant deficiency. So, if you plan to connect WiFi access points, you'll need a PoE switch as well or some of the PoE adapters. Plan accordingly or you will be making multiple trips to the store.
