Timely timely video. I’ve been struggling with how to do a Unifi system in my house, including a detached garage/workshop that I ran two Cat6 cables to. The Dream Machine Pro is also on sale right now at $279, which depending on your needs is another option. The Dream Router does seem to check a lot of boxes for not much money, in fact it’s not much more than a good AP. If the SE were $100 cheaper it would be a slam dunk for me.

How do you deal with two storey properties on the the Unifi network map? It's not clear how well the APs signal goes through wooden floors, to cover the ground floor.

Just recently upgraded from - a 3 orbi rbk50 setup. Got udmSE, 3 u6pro APs, 2 moca adapters for coax to ethernet and a USW lite 8 POE for local connectivity and Poe after moca. Works really well, excited to add more APs inside and out and use the design center.

Wifi 7 Client devices do exist, afaik there are several phones that support it. Linus Tech Tips tested a Wifi 7 router and I believe they got 3x the speed on a Wifi 7 phone compared to a Wifi 6e phone. Would be good to see more actual tests to see what difference it makes.

how do you set up that network. I struggle with having devices hang onto a n acces point for too loing which causes hiccups when going across the house. I already set everything to low output

I’m a big UniFi fan and installed in multiple homes across the family. Think UDM Pro SE, UDM or the new Express as the base platform that matches the need. I add UniFi AP’s only as needed. For most of us, either WiFi 5 or 6 is more than enough in a home environment and so are LAN gigabit ports. WiFI 7 is just hype and glad to see Ubiquiti is not jumping on the bandwagon at this point. However it is time for them to start seeding 2.5 gigabit ports on their Pro AP’s. Would also like to see the UDM Pro SE in a smaller form factor as the 2.5 gigabit WAN port is sweet for those that can take advantage but not wanting a rack mounted size. Maybe that will be the next gen UDR?

Chris out here just roasting Comcast for their marketing bullshit out of nowhere. You love to see it 😂

Is that the new flavor of the day internet-speak?

I would have put the APs on the Dream Router. The cable between the switch and router is a bottle neck for the 2 APs. "$44 left over for other stuff" - beer! 🙂 Re running in Ethernet cables. My cable company did that for me, when I first got a cable modem in the late 90s. The cable came into my condo in my living room, which is at one end, but I wanted the modem in my "office", which is at the other end. They ran the coax in by fishing up through a wall, along side air ducts, over my bathroom ceiling, into my laundry room and down the wall and through it into my office closet. While they were doing that, I had them pull in 2 runs of CAT5. It took 2 guys 3 hours to do it, including patching the drywall. I later added another run, into my laundry room for my access point. I have a Unifi AC Lite AP and run the controller software on a Linux computer. I have pfSense running on a mini PC for my firewall/router and an 8 port Cisco gigabit switch.

That TP Link router sure takes some design cues from the Dell XPS 700

Will this work for everything from heavy streaming to heavy gaming with 100 devices?

Hey man love every single one of your videos but your audio quality seems like its cut off pretty significantly in the last few videos. Not sure if it's a setting but just some helpful feedback.

Just got the notification for FCC test reports for the Unifi U7-Pro APs, so that's a thing coming "soon" and worth the money. $600 for a 10G all-in-one router isn't too bad; the Unifi Dream Router is $200 with less connectivity and a lower spec AP, but never spend $1500 for a "mesh" system. It makes you wonder how many people pay for 1-2+ Gbps internet and do not use it or have equipment that can handle it. Edit: haha Chris basically said the same thing I did before reaching the end of the video.

My ~1500$ network (2br apartment, 1gb fibre WAN): -Opnsense 10gb router w/ ryzen 5700g -U6 Enterprise (for 6ghz, I live in a highrise neighbourhood) -U6 Pro (other end of apartment for coverage/reliability/redundancy) -Mikrotik 8x10g switch (for NAS, HTPC, Virtualisation.. all 2x10gb LACP) -Zyxel 2x10g, 2x2.5g, 8x1gb switch (APs and things I want to wire that aren't fast like printers)

the m.2 standard is actually normal for both laptop and desktop wifi. some desktop boards have a wifi slot for these and some addon cards convert m.2 to PCIe to use laptop cards, because they're cheaper and easier to make.

My computer has wifi 7 and I can't utilize my 1gb Internet from the computer. This is mostly for the people that want the fastest Lan with no cables or that buy things because bigger number is better

"And it also has a gigabit WAN port." Every time someone dances around a UDR WAN speed capability an angel looses its wings.

It’s been a few years since I’ve worked for the company, but I have seen this happen before. That price is there as a failsafe from people purchasing a product that an unsuspecting associate placed a product on the shelf too early, as we can see the price difference between the store and the website (and seeing that the flagship BE24000 retails for $700, that price tag doesn’t make sense).

Why not UNIFI express ? Cost less than the UDM ? You can save some more $$$

Like always your vids are spot on and informative. Only thing I would of done differently is on the second scenario I would just of added more aps on your first design :D

For new/newer homes that are prewired with ethernet, or homes where wiring is relatively easy, wired access points make all the sense in the world. However, there are a TON of homes, maybe even most homes, where wiring cable is either extremely difficult or impossible. I'm in such a home. Therefore, wireless backhaul between nodes is the best way to cover our house. I'm currently running a 5 node eero Pro 6 mesh system. I enjoy strong device connections throughout the house. However, while most reviewers concentrate on speeds between devices and the router, I'm more interested in wireless backhaul speeds between access points/nodes. While I could care less about Wifi 7, it seems that the current Wifi 7 labeled mesh products (Orbi, Deco, eero) have stronger and faster wireless backhaul performance (I don't know if it's part of the standard or if it's just evolving technology). I'm still investigating, but if that's true, then getting a Wifi 7 labeled mesh system makes all the sense in the world for me and those in my situation.

WiFi 7 is the convergence of seamless WiFi and fast Cellular data at the same time. It will enable 10 gig data speeds. Xfinity 10G is their marketing campaign for their "10 gig internet service". Though they've never hit 10 gigs, the technology is there from other MSOs.

The release of next gen wifi APs/routers before the standard is finalized has occurred multiple times in the past. And to be fair, I'm not aware of a case where those devices were ever non-compliant by the time spec officially launched. But I completely agree that there's very little reason to buy an early wifi 7 device now - unless you need something ASAP and know absolutely need wifi 7 for some weird reason.

I have a mixed love/hate relationship with them because, similar to Apple & Synology, they love to sit back & be late adopters with their hardware. All of the aforementioned companies are prime examples of modern tech companies that make products with an amazing experience for the end user but delay pushing the envelope on hardware specs simply because they can. To be clear, I do NOT fault UniFi for not putting WiFi 7 in their hardware right now... however, similarly, raising an eyebrow at companies who chose to is ridiculous. Cat 7 ethernet cabling is not a ratified standard, so you will hear loads of pros denouncing it's use, but most of the time it is built to a beefier specification than Cat 6A. Just because companies like to innovate at a faster pace than these "industry governing bodies" can move, does not mean they are simply money hungry "marketing vaporware" as he said in the video.

It will max out at 600-700Mbps. I would go with the UDM instead even if the access point on top is WiFi 5. The CPU can actually do 1Gbps.

There’s one for $200 as well, Best Buy is just trying to sell the most expensive model.

I can say that TP-LINK's Deco line (specifically the ones below $500) don't do that and are honestly a decent investment if you're not tech savvy. Plus, they're pretty good if you have a brick or cement house. I don't have space for a network cabinet, nor the cabling needed to support it, and I'd have to do some serious convincing to punch holes through 15 cm walls and cable all that.

I have the BE33000 and find it much more reliable and to have better coverage than my old orbi 960 mesh system

Wifi 7 is not marketing bs . In my testing I found that each band have better throughput thus making even devices that are not wifi 7 still have improvements like 2.4ghz going from 100 Mbps to 250 Mbps , 5ghz 450 Mbps to 1 gb/s and 6ghz 1.1 gb/s to 1.6 gb/s and wifi 7 devices getting 2.8 gb/s

$500 budget? I'd go with a PF/OPNsense firewall machine, and a few dumb APs. For $1500, I'd do the same, but maybe buy a few nicer APs like Unifi.

My dream network consists of two MokerLink 8 Port 10 Gigabit PoE Managed Ethernet Switches, a Qotom Q20332G9-S10 Computer w 64 GB RAM and a 256G SSD running PFSense and probably a couple of SFP+10GBASE-T transceivers though four would be complete , and four TP-Link EAP670 | Omada WiFi 6 AX5400 Wireless 2.5G Ceiling Mount Access Point. I would put two of the Omada's on each switch, saving half the POE budget on each for future use or iOT. This goes a bit over your budget, but would be ideal for me.

Man, way to give me buyers remorse. I did manage to get this for $550 plus an addl. 15% in Amazon credit. But, yeah. Buying this stung. I really wanted the SFP+ and 2.5G. Honestly, I was going to go the cheap (1G WAN Omada router / Controller / WAP / L2 10G/2.5G Switch) path. Which would have been about the same price. $450. I would have preferred the componentized setup. But, my old all-in-one was dying and needed replacement. Hopefully, this implementation of WiFi7 will persist or be upgradable, so this will be a good futureproofed all-in-one. It's predecessor was an Archer 1900 gen 1 I have been using solid for over eight years. I paid $129 for that. Plus... It shows animated emojis right on the front! That's worth, at least, a 25% premium. Stickers and RGB add 15% horsepower!!

Not covered in this video is the correctness and stability of these newly introduced Wi-Fi 7 devices. The last thing i want in my network is buggy, unstable equipment. I won't consider Wi-Fi 7 until certified equipment has been out for at least a year.

Comcast isn't making any such claims that the "10G" means anything to do with anything wireless. It's referring to their XGS-PON fiber backbone that's run to their fiber-to-coax nodes. Just because no one wants to do any research about it or understand it shouldn't mean that Comcast should have to cease and desist on such marketing. It reminds of me how hard drive manufacturers had to start labeling their drive capacities just because Windows and Mac used the wrong unit prefixes.

Find a switch that has 1x SFP+ port 2x 10gbe RJ45s and 4x 2.5gb ports. Then find a device that will route 10gbe. How much have you spent? You haven't added wifi yet. Now you have 2 devices. Not saying it's a great device to buy, just saying 600 for what you're getting isn't bad.

I don't use much wifi (phone + kindle, that's it) so I am pondering on the Unify Express, is a router, gives wifi + a lan port, which I will toss into 1 of the Flex mini switches (5 port) 1 in, 4 out... that one is in the center of the living room, Philips Hue etc. will be connected there, 1 port goes into the office, where 2 more of the Flex Mini's would be (3 pack) since they were about 1/3rd cheaper than the 8port... it gives me 10 free ports (3 in the living room, 7 total on the two switches in the office) and 6 will be used for computers there... so I have 1 free for expansion/testing machines... it's a super cheap solution, looks nice and I have the "extra ports" in various spots instead of just having 1 large 8port in one spot. (It's a rental so can't just drill in cables everywhere)

Just like that tp-link router was 'archer' 10g is just a name.

I have two U6-Pro access points connected to a 24-port Unifi POE switch and an Edgerouter 4. I have a couple of dead zones in my house and thought about adding a third U6-Pro ap. But with Wifi7 around the corner, I'm waiting because I could possibly pick up a U7-Pro for close to the same money or another U6-Pro for a much cheaper price. Honestly, I think there needs to be standard goals for upcoming standards. For example, wifi7 should be 2x faster and have 2x capacity than wifi6, and wifi8 should be 2x better than wifi7, etc.

I’ve had a UDM-Pro for a few years paired with a UAPHD and a UAP-nanoHD. I also have several cameras. The UniFi system offers so many options and I didn’t have to buy it all at once. Also have a US-16PoE but I started with the flex minis a US-8-PoE. I personally like having the flexibility to upgrade devices without having to replace the whole thing.

For $1500 I would do a UDM-SE, a Flex 10g switch, and 2x U6 enterprise AP’s on PoE injectors. For $1400 you get 2x WiFi 6e AP’s, with both AP’s having full multigig throughput. The UDM-Pro is currently on sale for $280. So alternatively, one could do one of those and a 10gig RJ45 SFP+ module so they could add a 3rd U6 ent.

I do like that Wi-Fi 7 supports mesh networks that automatically switches between nodes based on best connection instead of holding onto dear life even if you're next to a different node that's perfectly fine. I'm just waiting for when that's the minimum for most people.

Another thing you could do, for your $600 system is ... instead of spending $129 each for 2 U6+ access points and running ethernet cable to each of them and do PoE and the extra switch, you could instead get 2 UniFi Express units, set them up to mesh and rebroadcast to extend your WiFi and not have to run any ethernet cable at all. They only cost $149. I just got one and installed it in my garage and then put an Lite 8 PoE to attach 2 G5 Pro camera. I did this because I didn't feel like running CAT6 to my Dream Machine SE and have to get a hammer drill with a concrete bit to bust through the foundation of my house. But I digress. Great video.

Or... U6 Mesh units.. or just running the U6+ APs in wireless uplink. Not the best throughput granted, but perfectly serviceable for regular wifi usage. Or really any combination of the unifi AP devices really. Maybe even the AC models if you can't get the wifi 6 models. WiFi 5 is still pretty usable for most home wifi uses anyway. I reckon you might be able to find the AC APs for slightly cheaper too. I personally am still running a pair of AC Lite's. With one wireless uplinked to the other. Topton OPNSense box + unifi switch lite 16 POE + 2x AC Lites is my current setup.

Do TP routers still come with "restart daily" as a mandatory function to have internet daily? That always put me off...

While I'm in Australia and only know about Xfinity because of their sponsorship of various sporting stadiums and sports, I think the Xfinity 10G relates to the Cable Modem standard DOCSIS 4.0 (formerly known as DOCSIS 3.1) which provides a maximum download stream of 10gbs. BTW, I agree Wi-Fi 7 is marketing BS, but I wouldn't but Unifi gear in Australia, not because of the quality and usability, but rather due to the price premium due to their more limited availability in Australia (primarily being sold through commercial IT outlets rather than consumer IT retailers, unless you purchase from overseas supplies or on the grey market).

Is the price really that insane vs coming up to a price not far off the mark since you’ll have to stack UniFi equipment to actually run their ap7.

for $1600... Drop the Flex XG, and in-waal, lower price point on the APs. Add UPS, and 4G modem backup. :)

My motherboard actually have a RZ608 which is a Wifi 6E module. I still use the garbage all around Wifi 5 device from my ISP 🙃

Just finished paying off my $1500 orbi wifi 6 mesh now they have 7

How fast do we really need these days? Nvme with 7000mbps writes? WiFi 7? At some point the return isn’t tangible.

I guess it's been long enough that everyone forgot the fun of "Pre-N" when all the hardware vendors decided to run out in front of the 802.11N standard getting officially approved and the headaches that caused.

This, absolutely this. Unfortunately there are those too young to remember or weren’t hands on with it.

According to the Unifi website the Dream Router is only capable of 700Mbps wan throughput.

Some 2023 Z790 motherboards have alleged WiFi 7 chips

The Netgear Orbi 970 mesh system is $2,299.99...

Not sure why you do not like the U6 mesh. The are easy to hide.

that is not standard yet but some companies are implemented, at this moment even asus with its ROG Rapture GT-BE98 Pro is making use of this standard, newegg is selling this device

Wie immer Weltklasse analysiert Chris ;-)

Well it’s cool to test out new stuff right and see how the pre-certified WiFi 7 devices perform. I have read multiple reviews with very high speeds around the 3gbps on WiFi 7!! So I guess it’s not BS marketing, but ok…

do you support in Australia

That Best Buy is kind of depressing to go into now
