I would be interested to see a comparison/contrast with buying the components individually (AP, switch, CloudKey, gateway). What do we give up by going with the integrated system? Do we gain anything?
I do not think you loose anything. This box beats today's product line from Ubiquiti Unifi in everything. It's fast with all security turned ON. It just don't look PRO, and it will not fit in a rack.
same here. at this point they should just release a micro rack case to house the components, frosted tempered glass and front touch screen to manage locally.
Most people are going for this IPS / IDS capabilities. Can you do In depth video about setup and what information comes back and what it means. I.e what is a threat and what is not?
The "TP-Link 5-Port Gigabit Desktop PoE Switch with 4-Port POE ports" are very good for adding some POE for the AP's and at around $60CDN Its a great option if you just need a few POE ports.
@@angelbabyluvsyou Ubiquiti has an 8-port 60 W switch and 4 of them are PoE. The point remains that the Dream Machine should have had PoE - to remain all in one box solution
Thanks Willie! Anyway to do a video on replacing existing USG and cloud key with UDM on a LAN with 192.168.2.x address. I would like to bring my existing controller config to this ( ips/dpi , firewall rules, blocked ips etc)
This is what I am curious about. How would you use unifi protect in this situation? Would you need to buy a seperate cloud key2? Does it support just plugging in a G3 cam?
Thanks for the video. Since the ck/controller is built-in and there is no backup battery, is it susceptible to data corruption in an event of a power loss or has ubiquity solved that? Maybe you could confirm with ubiquity or try it yourself lol.
Willy, I’m a Unifi user - USG, cloud key, Switch 8 60W and three UAPs. Prior to Unifi, for a few months I had a Netgear Orbi system and before that, an Apple Airport base station with Airport Expresses for basic mesh. What I would like to know is: can the dream machine sit in a convenient location near an internet entry point, to be wired to one or two APS in other rooms to create a mesh or distributed system similar to my USG and UAPs? If so, this means the UDM could be a starter device, to be built upon as time and money becomes available. Secondly, how does it rank in terms of price, performance and capability alongside the traditional Unifi setup like mine? Willy, great work. Please keep it up. Most enjoyable and informative as usual.
Couple of questions.. (1) is this good for a family home of 5 people? 3 kids that I would like to be able to control there content and times ect. (2) I have fiber gigabit to the home that connects to my current asus router with PPPOE settings. Will it work? (3) Will the wireless range be comparable to a asus RT AC 5300?
ALWAYS keep devices separate. Saves A LOT of issues with devices that are in between strengths and keep hopping back and forth and causing buffering and such. Just best practice IMO
+1 for an in depth look at the security features. But I’d also like to see more on the IPv6 management side, as everyone else ignores this. Presumably you can still (carefully!!) drop in JSON files to customise things not in the GUI?
hi Willie good morning. at the end after much evaluation and discussions i really think I will be getting the UDM! Iwill be installing it downstream from my ISP router (not modem) and my ISP router is giving the range 192.168.1.x/24 which is the same as the UDM!! is there a way to connect to the UDM before connecting the WAN (ISP router) to internet and change the class of IP range on the ethernet port of the UDM?
Interesting device, and since I'll probably be setting up a network for my parents in the next few months, it could be timely. The all-in-one configuration will definitely make installation simpler, but it also means I can't replace parts of the system piecemeal, which has historically been a big strength of the UniFi product line. Curious to know if the UbOS is anything different that what they already have on, e.g., the CloudKey--the few screens you showed didn't indicate any difference. Compared to a USG + UAP-AC-Lite + Switch 8 POE 60W, this is a little cheaper, definitely simpler to install, but locks you into some things you may not want (you must use ubnt's SSO, you must use 2FA (don't understand your enthusiasm about this in a LAN-only environment), can't manage remotely). How does performance of the built-in USG compare with the standalone USG?
I have questions after the good video: 1. What if I have sites set up in the past with multiple cloud keys ? By default I am able to seem them all under one controller. Can I still do that with the dream machine since I am logging on with the Ubiquiti account like I normally do. Do I have an option to see the dream machine and the other sites ? 2. Expansion: how and what devices can I attach to expand the network?
From Uni-Fi Tech Support - No battery for safe shutdown on the UDM - The backup is stored on the UDM itself which you can download by connecting it through WinSCP, FileZilla etc. The backup is stored under /usr/lib/unifi/data/backup/autobackup. (Make sure you have auto-backup enabled in the controller). The UDM has internal storage to save the backup. - UDM doesn't have a power backup like Cloud Key Gen2. - You can't use one UDM as the main gateway if you have multiple UDM in the network. Instead, you can have one UDM in the network and then add UniFi APs to extended the network.
A couple questions: 1. Can you block URLs since most home routers allow this and this is targeted as a super-charged SOHO router/wireless product? 2. If I'm a service provider and have 5 clients with this device, that means I will need to setup 5 accounts and manage them individually?
This might seem like a stupid question, but can we backup our current local controller settings and then restore them to the UDM? Will it apply all my port forwarding rules, and carry over my other Unifi equipment and their settings, but now it will run on the UDM's controller and I can shutdown my local hyper-v controller?
Thx for the video Willie. The UDM looks awesome and I'd like to know if you have any ability to manage the internet throughput or bandwidth that wired devices consume because I can't do this on my USG currently. Also extending the wireless network with APs. Pity the switch ports are not POE.
This is an excellent question. When I raised this with Ubiquiti support over a year ago they said they were working on it for the USG but haven't heard anything since.
Hi Willie, love your show. Had a question for you.; I want to clear the internal storage of the standard UDM and was hoping you could do a walk through on it? I know there is a new ssd with the newer UDMR - hoping you could help with that… even maybe how to wipe the controller clean; like it was never used before. That is what I’m looking for and I love TH-cam content creators for their assistance with that. Could you help and create something like that for your viewers?
Question. What hardware is used for the USG. Is it the standard USG or Pro hardware. As a rule of thumb I use that when your Internet connection is more Dan 100mbit you need a Pro version if you want to enable all security option.If this device had PoE I would run to the store right now.
Thank you for sharing this. This is really a dream machine. I want to hopefully get into UBNT products in the future a little poor haha, but I love the concept and idea of this machine a lot. I hope to see more even maybe some the basics how to. I think you will find with Dream Machine being so new that more people who never played with UBNT products will be searching for videos with the Dream Machine in the title, etc. Might be worth going through anything and everything overtime I think your channel will grow because this new product line. Once your done send me your UDM
A couple questions if I may. Since this has a cloud key built in, will this work with ubiquitis cameras if there is a POE switch hooked up? Also, do you know if this will work with ubiquitis AmpliFi HD mesh router? Their mesh router has a built in VPN that you can use while you are on a public Wi-Fi system to send your data through your home network. Thanks and have a great day
Great video review... Scenario for you to consider: UDM - are the 4 data ports POE? (like to add additional NanoHD WAPs to this device w/out using POE injectors. Adding Unifi Protect Security Cams & DVR Since the Cloud Key (CK) is not the Gen2+ that has the included harddrive, can you do the following for a home with 2-3 APs, and Ubiquiti Security Cams: UDM + 1 8port PoE (60W) switch. Connected to that switch, G2+ CK, 5 Unifi Protect Network Cams Can the cams be setup to have online access via Unifi Protect APP, while the G2+ CK is managing the cams + collecting DVR events, also accessible via Unifi Protect App.
The regular UDM doesn't have POE ports or the option to run protect. However there are other items in beta that might interest you, I suggest going to the UI community site and signing up for beta so you can see what is coming in the future.
Network novice here, so go easy. Can this unit be used upstream of rack mounted switches, both non powered and poe to run a residence with alot of smart devices, poe cameras etc? Also do the switched have to be UB also? Thanks.
Can you comment on the fan noise? A lot of people complain about a high fan noise with some options turned on or with downloading huge files with high speed. Some people claim they only hear it when it first boots up
Would like to see vpn speed test. Does IPS slow it down? Can you attach/adopt other unifi switches and access points? Can ports on the built in switch be aggregated?
Does it support dual WAN with load balancing? I mostly need this in our installs in Asia since the Isp here are unreliable and we always recommend using two
If you are a freelance technician setting it up for your client, how do you pass over setup and configuration easily from your own ubiquiti account to another ubiquiti account, say either the owner or another technician with out having to back up and restore, etc. This is something I have wondered about with regular UniFi as well. I know there are steps to transferring the UniFi site, although I have never done it myself. Is there some easy transfer tool that I am missing?
Ok, settings this device offers aside, this or the new Nest WiFi? I’ve been waiting for the Dream Machine but I worry about it’s WiFi performance compared to mesh systems. And this router is designed for the home as well as small office. What’s it like for gaming and 4K streaming?
You cant manage this form a controller I installed on my PC, I want to make sure I understand you correctly. I was only able to control on phone and logging into the dream machine. Sorry new to Ubiquiti. Like your videos !
I just got a UDM after using a Unifi HD, and had nothing but trouble, all my smart home stuff has gone crazy, on and off line, some things I just can't get back on line, please help, any info would be massively appreciated
Hello. Could you make thid test : if internet does not work, would I still be able to login to the unifi using 2fa ? ie is the authent managed locally ?
I would want to know if you can add additional ssid the way you normally do, how adding the beacons works, can you add a normal ubnt access point, can you have multiple AP groups like you can on the normal controller?
Would love a bit more about UBOS...is this the way things are going, or a side project? Notice Dream Machine Pro should be next out AO is this the end of high end USG and support?
I live in an apartment complex where we get free gigabit internet, but in order to use the internet you have to add the mac address to your router, or laptop mac address if you plug directly to the wall before your device will connect to the internet. I have already added my dream machine mac address, but when I try to do the setup, it still will not connect to the internet and fails at the speed test any ideas what I can try? Thank you in advance. trying to get this set up before work tonight since I work for a medical service and have to work from home.
Hi Willie. Insightful video as always. Would be interested to know if this supports guest networks, VLANs and what VPN options there are? This would be a great device to install at an directors/executives home and be managed by their businesses' internal IT dept
Willie would you do a Dream Machine for beginners that’s me I know nothing about networking just want to setup my dream machine that in my bedroom closet with an external access point in the den. Also want to put all my security cameras on their own vertical network. Can you please help a beginner. Thank you for all your great videos.
is there a way to just manually pick a channel for your network? I see a way to exclude certain channels, or to enable auto optimization -- but can i just tell my UDM which channel to use?
Are we talking about the local UniFi controller? If so, I believe that using a verified certificate for a local IP would be troublesome, considering that local IPs can be the same across multiple networks, unlike external IPs. If you hosted the controller in the cloud, I could understand doing this, however locally it seems a bad idea, and most likely not beneficial. If we're talking about the controller in general, most end users will most likely have it hosted on their own network, so the need for this integration might not be a high priority.
Good Vid Willie; I am super surprised they didnt toss a 2TB mechanical hard drive and bake in Unifi Protect into this thing. Im not saying I am in love with Unifi protect, Im just surprised they didnt do it.
with Dream machine, How can I setup so the ISP router is setup as a DHCP server and the UDM is a passthru and assigns the IP address provided by the ISP router?
First off great video! Do have a question though. Can you still clone a MAC address on the UDM and then put a config.gateway.json file in /srv/unifi/data/sites/default/ (my current cloudkey location) to keep it after reboots? It works great on my USG and Cloudkey I have now to remove the need to use my AT&T gateway.
Beyond the obvious simplicity of this is there any reason this is better than buying a USG, switch, and access point? The two reasons I can see going for separate devices (I think the price would be about the same from what I remember) is the ability to get a PoE switch and the ability to adopt to another controller. Another reason is if you want your access point located separately from the rest of the equipment.
Platypi007 I enjoy having full 5GHz coverage in my 1,600 sq ft house. Completely overkill but just how I like it. 3 APs total: UAP AC Pro in living room, UAP AC Lite in both bedrooms. Debating on upgrading to an EdgeRouter 4 for higher throughout with Smart Queues, compared to my current USG 3P.
I was thinking about putting this in a small office since it would be a cheaper than upgrading their whole system. Do you happen to know what the coverage area is for the AP? Is the range as good as the AC Pro?
Why would I have this over something like a Fritz!Box 7590? Isn't the point of Ubiquiti to NOT have everything in one device, but each thing in a separate, specialized device? But then again, this does not even have a modem inside, right?
I would be interested to see a comparison/contrast with buying the components individually (AP, switch, CloudKey, gateway). What do we give up by going with the integrated system? Do we gain anything?
I second that!!
Same
My only question.

This with PoE ports and ability to use Unifi access points would make a nice consumer friendly setup for larger spaces and extended reach
You can use Unifi access points with this.
Honestly beautiful device
It would be awesome if I can adopt this device to a cloud controller!
Most people are going for this IPS / IDS capabilities. Can you do In depth video about setup and what information comes back and what it means. I.e what is a threat and what is not?
I'd love to see more about configuring the VPN server on the UDM.
Would love to see Uqibuiti to do something in this department. OpenVPN still pain to set up.
I would love to see more about the capability with openvpn
@@garethev5866 any feedback on this? I would like to support a vlan for iot devices and openvpn client? Thanks
I run OpenVPN on m y QNAP nas and port forward to my NAS
So far the only down for me, is lack of PoE, to supply 1-3 other access points or US-8 switches.
agreed, it makes it a true all in one.
The "TP-Link 5-Port Gigabit Desktop PoE Switch with 4-Port POE ports" are very good for adding some POE for the AP's and at around $60CDN Its a great option if you just need a few POE ports.

I bought one yesterday, what an incredible piece of kit
Performance with the IDS/IPS and how does the wifi compare to a AC Pro?
Once we have this UDM setup can we simply transfer my current USG settings over to get all of my current configuration?
Where does it save it's autobackups? Can you show how to change location? Thanks for the info!
Compare unifi and apple; which one the best in your opinion?
Thanks Willie! Anyway to do a video on replacing existing USG and cloud key with UDM on a LAN with 192.168.2.x address. I would like to bring my existing controller config to this ( ips/dpi , firewall rules, blocked ips etc)

Both of these questions are on point, exactly what I would like to know please.
This and the unifi flex AP are a great combo.
Can you make a video on how to install a SSL certificate on UDM?
Would love to know as well.
Ditto +1
I’m curious if the udm will support adding AP’s via the wireless meshing.
Could we add a uap-ac-nano using wireless mesh?
I would be surprised if not.
Yeah. You can do mesh with the UDM and all Unifi AP's that support MESH
Tutorial on adding a certificate would be awesome
Do you need another Ubiquiti router to provide the internet (PPPoE) to the Dream Machine or can the UDM handle this?
Is it possible to configure one of the LAN port as WAN2 for failover purpose?
And sadly, they still haven't developed this in the USG. Unless you modify the json but that wouldn't be supported.
Hi, great vid. Any idea if any wifi 6 access point coming out soon, or any new 10G switches?
Thanks for the video. Since the ck/controller is built-in and there is no backup battery, is it susceptible to data corruption in an event of a power loss or has ubiquity solved that? Maybe you could confirm with ubiquity or try it yourself lol.
Willy, I’m a Unifi user - USG, cloud key, Switch 8 60W and three UAPs. Prior to Unifi, for a few months I had a Netgear Orbi system and before that, an Apple Airport base station with Airport Expresses for basic mesh. What I would like to know is: can the dream machine sit in a convenient location near an internet entry point, to be wired to one or two APS in other rooms to create a mesh or distributed system similar to my USG and UAPs? If so, this means the UDM could be a starter device, to be built upon as time and money becomes available. Secondly, how does it rank in terms of price, performance and capability alongside the traditional Unifi setup like mine?
Willy, great work. Please keep it up. Most enjoyable and informative as usual.
What is the power consumption during normal operation?
Couple of questions..
(1) is this good for a family home of 5 people? 3 kids that I would like to be able to control there content and times ect.

So if I understand correctly. No IPTV and OpenVPN as config json is not supported now?
Is there an easy way to transition settings of current network (USG) over to the UDM?
Hello, good afternoon. I wanted to ask if the fan is permanently running or only lights up when it exceeds a certain temperature? Thank you.

Bryan Gee cool. I want to be able to have IPS, DPI, and IDS...
It can get pretty close to 1gb with everything turned on
Would like to see vpn speed test. Does IPS slow it down? Can you attach/adopt other unifi switches and access points? Can ports on the built in switch be aggregated?
Really upped the glasses game, way to go! 👍
Does it support dual WAN with load balancing?
I mostly need this in our installs in Asia since the Isp here are unreliable and we always recommend using two
Is it support static route and IPSLA? And the LAN interfaces support PPOE or DHCP?
Hi Willie, with the UDM already having an AP built in can you connect back to it via second AP without wired connection?
I would like to see a video configuring vlans on UDM. For whatever reason I can't seem to get it to work on my UDM.

Seems so of what I have gathered..
Would love to see setting up and speed testing a mesh network with an AP Pro or something along those lines.
14:40 ssh into system using cloud credential without 2fa?
How do you do VPN
Who is your ISP? I didn't think you could get fiber out in the country.
Fantastic vid. The Pro version has file share? what about LTE? If it had a sim port its the best holiday home boat RV setup ever?
Willie can you go over the Try New Settings? Also can this connect to a UNMS server?
Great explanation of the UDM!
I wonder how the compare against amplifi and why is this a thing. Feel like UBNT fighting itself
Are Guest network and hotspots options available ?
Yes they are.
Hi Willie. Insightful video as always. Would be interested to know if this supports guest networks, VLANs and what VPN options there are? This would be a great device to install at an directors/executives home and be managed by their businesses' internal IT dept
What speed can IDS/IPS handle on the UDM?
CJ Rob bursts of 1gbps
Wondering if the UDM would be a good fit to mesh to UAP FlexHDs
can we use dream machine with unifi ap ac lr in mesh technology?
Willie would you do a Dream Machine for beginners that’s me I know nothing about networking just want to setup my dream machine that in my bedroom closet with an external access point in the den. Also want to put all my security cameras on their own vertical network. Can you please help a beginner. Thank you for all your great videos.
Can the UDM be used as access points for additional wi-fi coverage?
is there a way to just manually pick a channel for your network? I see a way to exclude certain channels, or to enable auto optimization -- but can i just tell my UDM which channel to use?
Why isn't letsencrypt built into the controller already
Are we talking about the local UniFi controller? If so, I believe that using a verified certificate for a local IP would be troublesome, considering that local IPs can be the same across multiple networks, unlike external IPs. If you hosted the controller in the cloud, I could understand doing this, however locally it seems a bad idea, and most likely not beneficial.
If we're talking about the controller in general, most end users will most likely have it hosted on their own network, so the need for this integration might not be a high priority.
Andre Miller to screw us over and over LIKE ALWAYS
Would you recommend this for a small business (3000sqft) with no more than 50 devices connected at once? We average about 25 devices on the network
all wired or wireless, depend on size, or shape or office. A few AP or Mesh AP maybe needed
@@JohnnyLai Ideally we are going to need 2 access points. Mostly wireless and about 10-12 wired connections (phones, printer)
@@LAEC91 AP micro or AP mesh depend on how you setup network
Good Vid Willie; I am super surprised they didnt toss a 2TB mechanical hard drive and bake in Unifi Protect into this thing. Im not saying I am in love with Unifi protect, Im just surprised they didnt do it.
UDM Pro?
Can it handle multiple wans? How many clients can this handle?
does it have dual wan capabilities?
with Dream machine, How can I setup so the ISP router is setup as a DHCP server and the UDM is a passthru and assigns the IP address provided by the ISP router?
What the maximum speed when turning on ips
Hello can I mesh two Unifi Dream Machines?
Show us how important the full network configuration from our current controller with USG.
First off great video! Do have a question though. Can you still clone a MAC address on the UDM and then put a config.gateway.json file in /srv/unifi/data/sites/default/ (my current cloudkey location) to keep it after reboots? It works great on my USG and Cloudkey I have now to remove the need to use my AT&T gateway.
Disregard. I just confirmed on the unifi forums that config.gateway.json is not supported. =[
@@Pyrotech1620 uf thats a problem!!!
Beyond the obvious simplicity of this is there any reason this is better than buying a USG, switch, and access point?
The two reasons I can see going for separate devices (I think the price would be about the same from what I remember) is the ability to get a PoE switch and the ability to adopt to another controller. Another reason is if you want your access point located separately from the rest of the equipment.
Platypi007 I enjoy having full 5GHz coverage in my 1,600 sq ft house.
Completely overkill but just how I like it.
3 APs total: UAP AC Pro in living room, UAP AC Lite in both bedrooms.
Debating on upgrading to an EdgeRouter 4 for higher throughout with Smart Queues, compared to my current USG 3P.
What the speed you can get with a gigabit connection with and without IPS/IDS on?
How does the performance on this compare to an eero pro?
I was thinking about putting this in a small office since it would be a cheaper than upgrading their whole system. Do you happen to know what the coverage area is for the AP? Is the range as good as the AC Pro?
It should definitely be as good, if not better than the AC Pro.
Willie Howe Awesome! This may be a better option for some of my smaller office businesses who want better WiFi
Good point
Why would I have this over something like a Fritz!Box 7590? Isn't the point of Ubiquiti to NOT have everything in one device, but each thing in a separate, specialized device? But then again, this does not even have a modem inside, right?
