The UDM-SE doesn't function as a mini NAS server. As a network controller, the UDM-SE has 128GB of onboard SSD. But there's a tray in the middle to add a hard drive or SATA SSD of any capacity. This storage space is for its many functions. It'll hold the video footage for the Protect application or Talk's recorded conversations.

So if it is a WIFI 4, 5, or 6 device that has only 2×2 in it, then it will only connect at 2×2. If it has a 4×4, then it will connect at 4×4. But the devices connection to the wireless is based on the lowest denominator. If your device has 4×4 but the router is 2×2, then the device will only connect at 2×2. And vice versa, if the device has 2×2 but the router is 4×4, then 2×2 again. But if they both have 4×4, not matter which generation you have, it will connect at 4×4. Channel Bandwidth is another factor that will affect speed as well. I would say it’s the responsible thing to do to highlight in the article (perhaps as an update) that the router cannot handle gbit speeds, in fact nowhere close. The thing is as time passes by the connections affordable to people get faster so I would not be surprised if more people had gbit connections today. Please Note:Whilst there is no official hard limit on the number of managed devices, for maximum stability, Ubiquiti advises a soft cap of 45 devices per UDM. This includes switches and access points. The wireless client device limit is unaffected. Ubiquiti UniFiDream Machine Special Edition (UDM-SE) In fact, this is my exact setup. On the 10Gbps capable SFP+ WAN port, I am currently using SFP+ 10GBase-T Transceiver connecting to SURFboard S33 modem 2.5 Gbps port. It gives a central locations to support and manage the equipment. It monitors network traffic better then other low cost items. The applications show everything you need in 1 place. It will remove ALL the pain points we are currently seeing in a platform that i won’t have to upgrade or replace anytime soon. ReplyFinally, the UDM-SE has eight PoE Gigabit LAN ports. You can use them to host any wired devices, including PoE cameras, IP phones, access points, and more.

I do want the protection though. Ok, if you say so I guess I’ll have to shell out another 450 for this . Another question, is it possible to move all my smaller smart-device/bridges to power them via the console now? This would allow them to benefit from the UPS. They are all super low power. My ZimaBoard tops out at about 16W though technically it has an adaptor that can do 36W so I’ll assume that. All the other little bridges and gadgets barely draw 3-5W each. So with a bit of googling I realized I could use PoE splitters to power them from the console! All UniFi Cloud Gateways, as of November 2023. These models are newer, and they all run UniFi OS. They have been called UniFi OS Consoles, Gateway Consoles, and now Cloud Gateways. They act as routers or firewalls, and also run the UniFi software applications like Network and Protect. These can’t be used with Cloud Keys, cloud services, or a self-hosted UniFi Network application.

So it comes down to the other software applications Ubiquiti Provide and do you have a network large enough. I have 6 different people that i moved off of their legacy equipment and over to the UDRs. Some with APs or Cameras attached as well. No issues. Strong connectivity, great throughput. It resolved all their WIFI issues. It’s a very simple configuration which will work with a NSX Tier 0 router and advertise a default route to it. Update 21/02/2023 – I should also add that this does NOT support ECMP. If you have a single NSX Edge then it will work fine, but anything that’s more complicated such as an Active/Active Edge design in your lab, this will not work. Thanks to Eagle_B5 in the comments for pointing this out. root@UDM-SE:/etc/frr# cat /etc/default/ubnt-dpkg-cache Ubiquiti recently released version 3 of their UniFi OS for the UniFi Dream Machine Special Edition. Currently, it’s in Early Access, but it brings with it some decent improvements including policy based routing (over VPNs) as well as native Wireguard support (finally!). Policy based routing certainly needs some polish but it works well to send traffic from a specific device or subnet down a VPN tunnel. It would be nice to see the addition of application detection and then route down via VPN like Untangle can. Perhaps this is coming. Anyway, I digress.

Standalone Mode should only be used when configuring a small quantity of APs because they do not support seamless roaming. Instead, you will need to manually connect to each AP as you move out of range. Also, APs must have a wired connection to your network; wireless meshing is not possible. Finally, remote management is not possible because it is done entirely through the UniFi Mobile app while locally connected to your WiFi.

If you want to use them with a non-Ubiquiti device, such as a managed Multi-Gig switch, set the third-party device's SFP+ port in DAC or Auto (and not SFP+) mode. Else, no SFP+ copper cable will work. The UniFi family -- represented by the Dream Machine (UDM), UDM-Pro, the Dream Router (UDR), or UDM-SE... -- aims at business/pro/enterprise users. They are comprehensive consoles acting as the central controllers of various products, of which networking devices are only part of the picture.
