I work at a big tech company. I’m fully remote, but not allowed to travel outside the country. This same method should allow me to connect to my home network so I can be in London for example but my work laptop would be showing im still home in the states right?
What a great video. Thank you for all the information and the step-by-step instructions. So if I did, this, and I used my travel router in, for example, Mexico, would my Internet traffic from Mexico appear as if I’m actually back home in the US? Also, do I have to use the GLI net brand of router at home, or can I use my existing Netgear for the VPN server part?
I got yellow not green at the end. I have tried multiple times by reseting and following the steps again but still the same. Any help?
Do I need a unify network controller if I want to use unify access points?
I'm confused. Why is it called unifi? It's just networking devices?
LTT desk mat, nice!
Great video. I've got a GL.iNet Slate Plus which connects back to my Unifi Dream Machine Pro. I take this with me whenever staying away, and therefore get to connect to the internet securely from my home IP address wherever I am in the world. 🙂
European here - I'm using one UAP-Lite and it can't even reach to next room. Need to mention 55cm brickwall so... At least two if not three will be needed for single apartment.
Thx for this video, UCG-Ultra & U6+ are on the way. I'll wait for the switch, the one I'm using works fine (plus I need link aggregation and don't find if Unifi switches has it)
Thank you for this information we were looking at starlink for a backup internet solution but we'll definitely not be wasting our time now thank you
Hello, I followed all the instructions (which were terrific) for my GL AX-1800 Slate 1 and the GL-A1300 Slate Plus (travel router). I'm using Wireguard and have green lights on both sides, yet, on the travel router I have no internet while on the VPN. Upon disabling the VPN on the travel router I have interent. Any guidance appreciated. Tx.
Why would you guys design such a janky solution for Cerro Gordo? You guys can do better than this for Brent.
Very Interesting, thank you :)

Reminds me of the last generation Apple Airport base station.
The mine needs glass fiber and decent power, period. Perhaps in town I would use fiber to interconnect the different houses. Not sure how Brent feels about cables, but if you want a stable and fast network, use cables!! But yeah, a lot more work, and probably a lot more expensive.
I live in Chicago, where a lot of brick homes have been expanded, often leaving masonry that used to be the exterior walls hidden inside interior walls. These create rooms, and sometimes whole sections of the house, that are wi-fi dead spots. The best way to fully cover such houses is to have my low-voltage subcontractor pull Ethernet cables from wherever the Internet service comes in (which is usually also where any other network equipment is) to the additions on the wrong side of the hidden masonry and install access points there. In such cases, it can take 3 or more access points for full coverage. Unfortunately, this can get quite expensive, which is why whenever I pass by one of these build-outs in progress, I'll try to find out who the owner is and plant a bug in his ear about having Ethernet cable run during the construction, when it's much cheaper to do so. It's amazing to me that even after years of proliferation of home networking, it's still an afterthought to architects, interior designers and contractors. For the budget-constrained, I will try a TP-Link Deco PX50 kit, which can connect an access point on the wrong side of the hidden masonry using powerline networking. I've had good results with that, but it may not work if the electrical wiring isn't up to snuff, if the electrical system is divided across multiple breaker panels or if the house has multiple electrical feeds from the utility pole. A UniFi solution is always preferable if the client is willing to pay for it.
Is a video created before u connect I started installing easy 5 minute Never connected to internet never can used so i losses 700 dollars
One small correction about multi-gigabit gateways. Their ports may be 2.5 gigabit, the connection back to the cpu is still limited to 1 Gbps.
Thank you very much! Definitely much more than a beer! Bought it for you!
Great Idea to use Flint to provide Wireguard server. I have a problem in that my internet provider also provides my TV service and that means the primary router is theirs, and my flint is a secondary router that provides my original "old network ID 192.168.2.0". So how do I set up my DDS go thru to my secondary flint router. Doug
how is manually adjusting the direction of the dish better than it doing it automatically 🤣
Don't lose that key!
Great video! I just subscribed. Question for you. We are early in the build building a 2 story stretched out 6000 sq ft house. I want to use the ceiling mounted APs. My question is whether they radiate up or only down (or if power radiating up is significantly less). I’ve assumed they radiate mainly down, so I’m thinking of 3 on the top floor and two on the lower floor. If they are omnidirectional then I probably don’t need three on the top floor. Thanks!
What about the dream wall?
the 2.5g port on my UDM-SE died recently, managed to get it RMA'd but even on a replacement it's very unreliable when there's high bandwidth utilisation, it'll literally just drop out at times. I've had to opt for an SFP RJ45 Transceiver just to mitigate this issue. If I recall correctly the ethernet controller used is a Realtek 8125 which is notorious for being unreliable. Hope it's different in this model.
Thank you for reminding me about the Flex. We have a TPLink 5 port switch in our kitchen and I never liked having a power cord to feed to it alongside the Ethernet cable. For $29 I don’t have to.
Too late I already ordered the udm pro max, 24 pro max and u7 pro. Why? Because my house deserves the best and I have little self control
New to home assistant on raspberry pi, but I've came across some recommendations where they advise against using an SD card as that will ultimately stop working, but use SSD
I run my whole office on a little flex mini. Doesn’t miss a beat!
What about the dream router? You never even mentioned it. Poor little R2-D2
I have a woodgas generator on my boat (it's integrated in the warm water system) and can run my electric gen on woodgas. Electricity no problem! I have 1000w solar and 1200w wind power, and 3000ah NiFe batterybank.
Excellent explainer video, thanks!
I got annoyed about the ISP "quality" router that wasnt able to handle all the clients (ca 20 that is not massive considering IoT and a family where everyone has phone and comp) so 1st thing I tried was EOL enterprise firewall that makes my home network now. Then I got annoyed about the wifi coverage and got 2 U6+ APs to mesh the house and yard around it. At first planned to use them as a standalone but then found that its possible to add unify controller to my NAS via docker. Next steps are at some point to retire the FW and get the unify gateway and preferably switch to separate IoT network from general network.
Does POE is default turn off in switches? just not to fry something what not using it...
Is it possible to set up record preservation on a second registrar or on a cloud key? In case the disk is stolen from the first registrar?
Brilliant project!
So it's just certificates.
Love me some Ubiquiti 😊
I’m one month in with my UCG Ultra, U6 Pro AP and the 16 POE Lite switch. Completely new to all this, it’s been a lot of fun
Unify Express is a go to travel firewall, you can connect to your home network from anywhere and have multiples VPN enable so for mobile work is just perfect
What about those that have 10Gbps and have a shitty XGS-PON ISP router?! :/
I get to the end of the setup and add new provider and file and the light stays yellow....it doesn't turn green....Any suggestions?
Me too! I have tried everything but still showing yellow not green :(
@yk-lash Hopefully someone can help us with this issue
I never got past an -110 error so my Pi sits doing nothing.
I currently have a UDM (so the one before the UDR) and just got upgraded to 10Gbps (thank you, Sonic!) which puts me in an interesting place. I don’t want the form factor of a UDMPro or UDM SE (I am in a small apartment, I can’t fit a rack) but both the UX and the UCGUltra are capped at 1Gbps, which means I don’t gain anything by moving upwards even if it is two generations. Hopefully the next iteration of the UD is at least 5Gbps, or if a more powerful UCG comes out I can combine it with a mesh AP
Great vid! In Daytona Beach FL area Metronet 2GB service ($75/mo) on the Flint2 2.5Gbps WAN port. I use the 2.5Gbps LAN port into a 5 port 2.5Gbps LAN switch for all my clients. Also has 4 1GB ports, I use one of those for my cheapo 8 port 1GB switch for my many non 2.5Gb devices.
how to start starlink trial?
How to do this on phone without computer. I can't get to the hotel approval page from my phone after I connect the router to the hotel wifi.
Late to the party, but this was one of the most informative & useful content-per-minute videos I’ve watched in a while. Subscription earned for sure! Also loved the router stand & looking for it online. Thanks!
Is the express a good travel router?
help. I just bought an unmanaged 2.5 switch device with a vlan switch. Bu t want to connect all my computers on the switch to each other. will this switch work?
