I’m a lowly USG-3P user with a couple 8 port POE switches and 4 APs running my controller off of a RPI4. However, a friend wanted to go all in, so I helped him to spend his money…

I hope to post some more pictures as it goes along. We made some progress that is not shown, but neither of us are experts, nor are we OCD.

One unexpected exciting feature is the built in ad blocker in the UDM-SE, which is quite effective.

Hello, first time posting to this community either here or back there if you know what I mean. I have just purchased a Dream Router to replace a TP Link Deco mesh system and would like to ask a couple of questions before I start tearing the old system down. One reason I got a mesh in the first place is because I have a building about 20m away from my house that I use as an office, I didn’t really want to run a wire from the house. The mesh just about gave me a connection and I could use the 2nd RJ45 port on the puck to get my ethernet only home automation system on the network down there. Speed is poor though and time moves on, my kids also use that space for gaming so a cable is now going to be run. My questions are these; can I use the old Deco pucks as access points to get me up and running quickly? They can be put into AP mode via their app. I also have two old DrayTek Vigor 2860n’s which can be put into AP mode, can I use them with UniFi without any problems? I was planning to run the cable directly from the DR to the office and then either connect it to an existing 8 port switch I have down there and plug a Deco puck into the same switch or just connect it to the DrayTek which would then act as an AP and provide 4 wired ports for use with various devices. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

I see that it was announced about a year ago. Was it ever launched? If not, do you think it still will? It seems to check all the boxes for me.

Kind of a silly post, to be sure, but figured I'd put it up for the sake of the community...

I'm relatively new to the Ubiquiti community, buying my first gear a few months back. I wanted more control, more performance, or more options to fiddle with. I started with a UDM-SE, a U6E and two U6 Extenders. They've been great and significantly improved my overall performance.

But the rabbit hole opened up, next was a rack, then some UPSs. Then a SW24E (because I needed that 2.5G port for the U6E, right? The nest cameras were sold to get some Ubiquiti ones, a UNVR was just acquired. Getting a Doorbell Pro is only a matter of time, cause I need to get rid of that nest doorbell. I keep looking on line for used Ubiquiti gear on line (that's how I ended up with the UNVR and one of the cameras). I keep trying to think of reasons for other gear.

I've never really had a collector mentality for anything, but for some reason the Ubiquiti gear has trigger it. I've apparently drank (and am swimming) in the kool-aid. Anyone else need an intervention?
