Interesting, Ive personally never noticed anything disappear? But maybe those features I wasn't using?
Have you tried using a mix of old/new hardware before? My unifi dream router happily supports my very old outdoor+ access point. It's probably 8-10yr+ old tech working with a modern controller...
Personally, if I had 800$ or so for funding my network upgrade from gbit to gbit++ I'd upgrade my unifi network to newer 10gbit stuff. I know some aren't fond of the company but I personally like the software/hardware including the cloud remote access.
I love my dream router, I personally love the remote management/cloud type features. Makes it easy to diagnose or fix things without even standing up let alone being on site..
Then again besides one room that I think has something interfering? It just works! That room can be iffy sometimes. A...
I went with a ubiquity' outdoor+ model. It's discontinued but so somehow works with my new dream router just fine. Been procrastinating about upgrading it.. but alas what works doesn't need replacement lol.
Fwiw I used rolled black plastic pipe from Lowe's. Was either 3/4 5/8th or an inch?
I dug a trench and put a like 1 inch black plastic pipe in the ground with an Ethernet cable through it.. works for my garage so far been like 5yr with poe ran to the garage access point.
Interesting I only ever use vpn or "teleport" through wifiman app on android personally..
I only have the dream router tho.. I wish I had the funds to have bought the dream machine pro/se instead. mine works for current needs but isn't as future proof.
Filtered positive pressure case. Sure I could probably do the filter part myself on some cases.. but is rather the case be designed for said filters to begin with.
Size, tbh if they had a larger version of the ft02 id probably buy it lol.
I personally love the 90° layout change. It's not a...
I haven't built a new PC in years.. tbh I've been living the cellphone life.. rarely touching a PC anymore :(
Ive been thinking about a new build.. but wth is with cases these days?! I might repurpose my Silverstone ft02... I might be a year out on a build though so who knows?
I just upgraded my old unifi cloud key gen to the new unifi dream router your talking about. The reason I went with it over a dream machine and an access point is because my isp likely will never offer gbit speeds.
I've never used Asus routers so I can't speak for them.. but my new UDR was able...
Unifi is great IMO. Let them call you.. just remote in and tweak if needed.
Edit:
I just replaced a my dead cloud key gen1 with a dream router. It adopted my like 5+yr old outdoor+ model access point with ease. It's not even on ubiquity's website anymore but it works!
