Nice but ..
Does it have a battery for the controller?, since the key 2nd gen has it and that also include the camera server ...
How many cameras support , each camera take a little bit of processing juice, will that affect DPI and IDS?
I use UniFi a lot and I love their products, but I think this is for home or small Company not medium, I personally use their NVR solution, more robust and reliable and the software has more and better features.
I have the dream machine Pro and the Orbi mesh Wi-Fi 6 in AP mode with 3 nodes and WOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!! I have Comcast to 2 gigabits per second fiber and I am getting full speed!
Cryptomator is free OSS, does the same thing.
@@DavidA20200 You ever used Pfsense? Am wondering what to get, the UDM Pro or Pfsense as am getting 1 gig connection.
Looking for a suggestion in a router for my home, with my smart home growing, and a family of 5 with a growing list of devices added to the network all the time I am experiencing issues now, at this time I have 76 devices on my network at the time of writing this post. I have updated my internet package to fiber internet 750 mbps but the router is only broadcasting 250 mbps. I know a router would help but I am a noob when it comes to routers and don't know what to buy any suggestions
“Never use one device that does everything.”
“Look at this cool thing that does everything.”
Yup he just violated Rule Number 1
Innovation change up everything, be flexible and willing to adapt. Those were the old days. This is the future of networking
lol at the drill sounds when using a screwdriver :)
He must watch this old Tony...
@@phalcon23 he's using the sonic screwdriver from doctor Who
Came here looking for this comment.

It says 1gbps because the ethernet link has negociated on 1gbps. In order to get the 3Gbps + ou will need to add a SFP+ at 10Gbps.
that is exactly what i was thinking. He mentioned that his entire network is 1gbps but i think he will need to plug it in with the SFP port. to get that top speed he is looking for. Come on Chuck get it together mouhahahaha just kidding. I do this stuff all the time.
I think it's a firmware things. I'm on 1.7.2.2620 using the gig port for WAN and my Threat Management configuration option says: "Enabling Threat Management will affect the UniFi Dream Machine Pro maximum throughput (3.5 Gbps)"
@@SteveCody would you recommend the UDP? Am moving over to a 1 gig connection and looking for at this or the pfsense.
@@Bobbyuk I like it, but I haven't really compared it to other appliances. It's very capable, and my speed maxes out around 950mbps. I like the IDS functionality as well. The only thing I dislike about it is that during the unboxing and initial installation, it started a firmware update that failed. I had to boot into rescue mode or whatever it's called and do a recovery. It's worked very well after that.
@@Bobbyuk get OPNSense (or PFSense, but many developers now went to OPN!). Unifi has the habbit of dropping products without much time, for example the IP-phones, the entire unifi video product line etc ... wouldn't recommend ubiquiti for any new setup right now until their business habits change.
Also, OPN / PFSense has many advanced features and a really good gui. Runs on standard hardware also.
Well, guess my house is small/medium business cause I just bought it.
How much and from where? Does anybody knows where I can buy for less than $379?
Considering just how hostile the internet has become with all the "wares" routers need to keep up. Now all this needs is something like Pi-hole.
Yeah I'm pretty sure my apartment is about to become a small business too. Maybe I can get some tax cuts on my house now.
I had to laugh so hard at this. Just bought the dream machine special edition and all of a sudden I have a U9 rack full of stuff 🥲
Love the Content, you and Jeremy have been with me through the thick and thin when it comes to this stuff. The best part is, you make me want to be more engaged in this environment. Keep up the good work brotha!
I found your channel today and loved the teach-ins on setting up home and SOHO networks. But, thinking of buying the UniFi Dream Machine right away I read lots of negative reviews; everything from being so noisy to difficulties obtaining stable operation and not achieving its advertised. I will stay with your TH-cam channel but you may want to reconsider your high level of enthusiasm for this new router.
By the way, I installed a Ubiquiti router two or three years ago, and this beautiful flying saucer performs outstandingly.
NWC I"m so glad you got one of these and are using it. Keep this as an ongoing series please. Well done
Ha! I freaked out for a second when I saw "Keith Home" pop up on the screen.
just to be clear, the packet inspection is basically blind to all https traffic. Not unless you're using your own SSL certifications and decrypting the traffic for inspection.
I’ve had one since the beginning of EA. I really like it and the ability to route my LAN at 10gig is awesome. They are improving the software continually.
Can I get a SFP to Ethernet connect for the two 10gbit ports and connect my 10gbit ethernet devices to it and get full throughput?
A. Idea to do a follow up video on this product after lets say 1 month?
Lol, I was just looking over this Dream machine and thought, I hope Network Chuck makes a video about it. AND boom, it came up on my feed. thanks man, I really enjoy your videos.
Gotta encrypt your thoughts 😜
You need to check out Mikrotik if you want truly nerdy fun. They 100% do not hold your hand but it’s amazing to see what a 100-ish dollar router can do when running RouterOS.
Dream machine Pro user here FTW!!!. I don't use the cameras or the doorbell function because, I don't own a house. Soon to be rectified this year if things go to plan and then, yes, I will buy a hard drive and wire all the things to make full use of this amazing product.
The hell? I expected a 1k price tag atleast.. I was really surprised when you mentoined the price and saw it on their site aswell
It's their whole thing, near enterprise grade with near consumer prices.
That’s Ubiquiti’s thing.
This is a great device, but they are lacking 2 very important feature, at least imo, being able to use more than one IP adress on the Wan and not being able to setup a VPN client other than ipsec. I mean these are things that are basically standard in today's world and the fact that it is limited to one IP has caused multiple ppl I know to go with different hardware that is not as good with most of the other stuff.
On your previous video of the Dream Machine consumer edition, you mentioned that you cannot set-up a VPN client. Can you have either a VPN client on the Pro and also is there a command line interface too?
Not sure why I need this, but I am convinced! Just signed up!
I can live with the separate AP but not having PoE on this device is one of unifis biggest mistakes. Such a simple thing to include. Massive oversight IMO
Agreed, even if it only had one or two PoE ports that'd be a game changer, especially since.... The 802.3at PoE injectors are always out of stock :(
Which is why I purchased the UDM Pro SE
@@Brainy_Bytes same here!
This is pretty cool and it looks a lot nicer than the cisco SOHO routers. Might actually pick this one up at some point
Love your videos, the best Networking contetnt on the youtube so far. No doubt. The best content ! I
IDS/IPS & Surveillance all in 1 is great but price tag might be too much for the average user. Perfect for small to medium businesses!
i am so thankful the content that is available for this stuff is so clear and accessible these days. i have a 7 year old usg and it just pooped out. so i balled out and put an order in on this guy and their wifi 6 ufo itll be well worth the 1000$ in exchange for another 7 years of flawless internet
Great video, I like the fact that you have joined the UniFi ecosystem and I have a similar home setup. The only issue I have is that your link to buy a Dream Machine Pro points to an Amazon seller who is ripping people off, trying to sell them at $525 instead of the Ubiquiti price of $379 (even though they are currently out of stock).
I kinda hate Ubiquiti because of multiple bad experiences at work. Had hardware stabilty issues in their switches, software issues with the management tools to a point where the database would corrupt it was always a chore.
Switched to MikroTik, yes there is a learning curve but it gives a lot more freedom and once you perfected your config, stability. Would love to see you review a CCR unit.
I have set up a MiktoTik network at home now with multiple cAP AC's, with CAPsMAN deployment is great!
Ok!! How do we get a one? I have tried SEVERAL resellers for 8 weeks. Called, emailed, distributors. No one seems to want to sell them!! Who should we call or email?
I wish they were able to partner with one or even many SDWAN providers and include optional connection settings in the product so for these small/medium branch offices it could act as an SDWAN box aswell - but guess these providers want to push their own stuff :(
"379 dollars, pretty cheap".
My country: "Here's the device, $600 please."
Im kind of surprised you want 1 piece of gear to do multiple big pieces of functionality. I have my router only do router stuff and VPN. My surveillance system will continue to work even if the router catches fire lol.
Hey Chuck, I had a similar experience unboxing my UDM Pro. After initial setup and firmware update, it wouldn't boot. Ugh. I had to go into recovery mode and reset it to get it to work. It's working great now though. Love your video.
FOR ANYBODY ELSE GETTING A BOOT FAILED ERROR AND ARE SUPER BUMMED:
I got a Boot Failed as well and did the recovery... turns out there was an issue that it would fail if there was no WAN connection on setup... super weird. The second I connected WAN and restarted, worked like a charm!
Nice pro tip!!
I love when I get a UI delivery... Their products are something i've fallen in love with... I have now setup multiple Small and Medium networks with all UI gear, and the interfaces are just amazing for me. I don't need the massive enterprise grade items that Cisco/Juniper/Aruba offers, UI is the PERFECT gear for Small SOHO and Medium office setups.
Actually just got my UDM Pro and AP today to start setting up my home network. A bit early in learning networking for me, but I'm excited to get started and break some things.
Any update on how this is working 4 months later?
By the way Jeremy, I was working a lot with Dream Machine PRO. I have deployed this router in different small businesses are awesome and solid. The issue that you may have with the 1gbs is that the version you have only work in the SFP+ port. If you have your lan connected to the Wan ethernet port it will only read that + your network is 1gbs so it will read that. The new version of dream machine pro is insane. Includes now POE and 2.5GBs ethernet ports.
I’m looking at the DMP right now and I’m not seeing 2.5G ports.
@@thespencerowen the Wan Port?
I just got this today wow its great dude thanks took me a year to get it, I let go my ASA for this.
8:40 Just ordered one on Black Friday deal for $279. Even better value!
lol 7 seconds in, my dogs ran downstrairs to see who is at the door
So sponsorship aside, are you genuinely still using this device after 7 months? I bought one. I really really missing UNTANGLE.
Sorry for the out of topic but, I feel anxienty while watching your monitor shaking on the desktop. Anyway, great video! I love it.
I about died laughing with the boot failed, the music cutoff was the best.
Seems not so far from the set top boxes we get in France from our ISP. For example the Freebox Delta.
After many situation at work, I kinda hate Ubiquiti. We moved to Mikrotik. That's really good stuff
Yeah, at work, but at home UniFi is a good option for non experienced users, a little pain in the ass for integrators tho
Mikrotik is cheaper quality that Ubiquiti. They don't even have full throughput on their switches.
I only use UniFi APs.
Mikrotik on the ground UBNT in the air
I agree with whoever talked about the V-LANs ... Please make a video on that for this machine or just in general.
I love Ubiquiti! so cool to see you doing a video on this!
I've had mine for a few week and love it. I also main purchased mine for the IDS/IPS 1g feature. I've only notice one issue with mine, and that is the fact the refresh button in the top right corner will not appear, even if I toggle to turn it off and on in settings.
Mine is coming Friday. Pumped. 😎
Thanks NC, really needed this review. I was looking at this and looked for one of your videos mate because they are simple and concise.
And I thought that my teeny EdgeRouter X SFP is an overkill. Now I feel better, thanks :)
I just got the usg and a cloud key gen 2. I am new to ubiquiti and I am really enjoying the products so far.
Nimbus 2001.... Voldemort..bruh i didn't knew chuck was a potter head like me😂😂🤣
Good video! I will stick with my Fortigate
It's actually kind of sad that there's no reason to nerd out hard on this thing. Everything is so easy and fast to set up. Upgraded our small company's network from a Forti router to UDM Pro within 2 hours from unpacking to running.
Have you considered a rack server with vyos?
Thank you, very interesting video, I can't belive the price of this wild machine !
Him taking that tape off the box was so satisfying.
Thank you ubiquity for making the process of removing the tape from the box so satisfying.
1:13 the fastest purchase of hdd in the mankind history
Had this at home since it hit beta love it!

Chuck can you post an update on this dream machine pro and let us know how it's working out for you how you like it the good the bad the ugly thanks
Eh, not my style. I much prefer the Edge line. I like the okdschool style UI, I like that the app is completely optional. My set up is limited to 1Gig, but I went with that because the line from my "cabinet" (I still need a rack) is coax and it would just be too much effort to replace it with something that could handle more. Most my devices aren't upgradable past Gigabit anyway.
I really hope Ubiquity doesn't end the Edge line of products, but the lack of anything to replace the aging AirCube has me worried. (That said, my second hand cubes work great!)
IPS / IDS is on the DreamMachine.
I'm still paused at 17 seconds. What am I supposed to do now?
Thanks for this video good job! I am getting one for home that makes me a geek too 😂🤣
Oh yeah!!!!
I was this days old when i realised behind the black sticker was a status display
I bought it! Thanks @NetworkChuck.
I have liked my UniFi pro and the protect has been great but my main grip with the UDM pro is the software is half baked missing basic features and the UI can be very clunky at times hard to find stuff always have to switch back and forth between the old UI to find stuff . Overall I like the UniFi eco-system it can be fun to tinker with
We were thinking about replacing some other UI stuff with unifi. I hope you do more of a deep dive into unifi. We were going to standardize on uibiquiti edgemax type hardware. However availability in Canada is making this impossible. Thank you for your video.
I like the Ubiquiti gear, but prefer pfsense for the routing and firewall. Unifi for switching and wifi.
Agreed. Hand pick the best of the best. No one company is best at everything.
Can you do a network tour?
Looking forward to the SE review.
I love my UDM pro. I'm waiting on my LR Wifi 6 AP's which are suppose to ship next week
How does it catch threats without ssl decrypt?
Everyone is taking about the firewall really bad…another review would be nice bugs? Issues?
Just for commenting sake, a rack mountable WAP equipped device. That's great if you don't want it to work, one reason where an engineer has a complete right to say: "Umm, no. We're not putting a WAP on a device that needs to be mountable in a metal rack. That's stupid."
One of UniFi's fatal flaws I believe is the very limited options available on custom routing/firewall rules using the UI portal. I think for a lot of those complicationed options to be done, it requires it to be done only in CLI and I don't know if the UI can tell you if/how those changes are present/active.
IPS is a must...
I went a different route. Less then 200 got me a poweredge r210 from server monkey and I installed pfsense on it. I don't have surveillance so it's perfect and very quiet.
Eh. It looked really awesome until the part where it has no POE and you can only use one of the SFP+ ports for lan. (Can't actually process 10g between two clients) it was so close to replacing the majority of my network equipment. I guess I'll stick with my 2960s and usg. Disappointing
Can you make a video on how to setup an isp and the tools needed
lol. That's a tall order. Its not for the faint of heart.
@networkchuck how do you like it after a year of nerdy use?
The touch screen is a nice touch :D This is out of my price range for sure, but it's cool :)
So the UniFi Dream Machine Pro already has the Security Gateway and cloud key built in with it right?
Joseph Chambers yep

Nevermind you already have a video about it! Awesome!
Thanks for the demo
I have a 1GB lease line connected to a dream machine pro. I use a UniFi LR 6 and the best speed I can get Wi-Fi is 400mb down. I’ve tried every setting under the book. My cheap £30 router gives me faster download and upload speeds.
@@barnyardstormer nah.... 400mbps is all that a unifi wireless device will do.. they are some of the slowest out there
@@barnyardstormer Your not going to get anything more then 800Mbps on wifi. Take 866 and do 70% of that... that is what the speed of wifi will be clsoe to 100% of the time with the absolute best gear.
@@barnyardstormer wired or wireless speed? Wireless can get those speeds but you need a 4x4 mimo device and AP. It that’s it still only on perfect conditions. Are these speeds being achieved in the middle of nowhere or neighbors that are over 3-5 acres away
You have to go and mess around with the radio settings, I’m getting 650 mbps on my LR6 ap
All your comments are great.
I almost went with this unit myself but you missed another key point that I think Ubiquiti really dropped the ball on.
Lack of PoE.
It would be a true Dream Machine if it could run a coupl APs and cameras from it.
I know it only has 8 ports which is plenty for a router/gateway, but even if just half of them were PoE it would have made this sooooooo much better.
At its price point I can live without the HDD, they are easy to get and also some people have preferences so that's fine.
What camera's are use using, does that require a subscription for the cameras? That would actually be pretty neat idea. Deep dive on how they're all connected, recording, setup.
Pro tip, make them yourself using Raspberry Pi Zero’s. Will save you a huge amount of money and works exceptional!
FYI, The 8 1gb ports on the front share the same 1gb backplane so you are going to want a seperate switch
I recently replaced my consumer garbage wifi with the Dreammachine Pro, one HD AD, two EA wifi6 AP's and an outdoor wifi6 mesh. It is so superior to anything on the market right now.
I really enjoy this channel.
Your beard needs its own channel. Great beard!!!
Ok so the backup and restore from a Dream Machine does not work anymore. I just recreated everthing. Also the little touch screen is actually useful if it close to you (which it can be since it is dead quiet). All in all, very impressed. Just wish you could get cameras for it. They are all sold out except the $1800 one.
Thank you Chuck for sharing with us! Love you
The UDM doesn't do TLS inspection so the DPI is not looking at your data, that is google.
Maybe... unless you see the ubiquiti unifi ap systems i install in my private client's homes. Definitely more affordable though.
They could have skipped the OLED display and go for PoE and a second harddrive slot for raid
Thank you ! I was about to say, this thing is crippled without PoE !
is that an Extrema Ratio? :O I love it!!!
Can you make a follow up video on the udm pro?
I love you for this! I am upgrading also
there's been a lot of bugs on the software, we have an aggregated 1gbps from 3 isp, the dream machines shows 100 percent utilization on the dashboard whereas the real load of our network is just 30 to 40 percent.
