- The Dreamwall has started to finally get some interest in the wide world with people asking questions, so as I didn't really get time to do a full review when it launched here is my revisit and full opinions hopefully to answer a few questions that pop up frequently on the console...

"If Ubiquiti listen to us" 👍
It's a big IF
Interesting video. Thankyou!
Quick question, I’m looking to get one of these but I will be pairing it with one U7 Pro. So could you use the 2.5gb wan port as a lan port?I would be looking to plug the AP into that port if it’s possible
You can, but its not POE so you would need a 2.5Gbe POE injector
For an SE, yes to all of the suggestion you made in this video.
For a Pro, give at least the option of built-in (or even modular) battery backup. Put “mission critical” in the name maybe.
The form factor is great for small business and just because “mission critical” is often associated with large enterprise, keeping a network up during power faults is still critical no matter what size business you have.
“Just use a UPS”. OK, but I could do that with a switch, and yet Ubiquiti offer a mission critical switch with battery backup, so there is a market for devices like that.
Going on the terrible quality the batteries in the ckg2+ had.....I dont hold out much hope for the mission criticals in a few years...so big no on fitting one in a Dreamwall IMHO
The decision making at Ubiquiti is just bonkers! The cable access should have rear access so they're completely hidden. There should be space for at least a single 2.5 or 3.5" HDD and the extra PSU really isn't needed in the vast majority of situations.
Can it do dual or redundant wan's?
Yes load balanced or failover
Could use holes in back to hide all cables behind drywall 😢
The newer versions have that option, mine didn't as its an EA....also my walls are granite so bit of a pain
OH LOOK ITS ME !! :) ( shush, i want one )
Well if you ask the Ubiquiti Messiah really nicely he might be able to help....they wont give me anything :D
LOL, naw ill leave that stuff up to Cody. I don't think Unifi will ever send me anything.@@JimtheITguy
the dream wall should’ve kept the hard drive slot.
Not following the no need for dual p/s? P/S failure is a big reason for routers going down. Am I missing something? I do understand the desire for more HD space.
I love the POE++ since you can add flex switches down stream to support small office rooms and the like. Obviously this is a unit for smaller businesses.
