After watching this I immediately ordered the Dream Machine to replace my aging router. The WiFi connection speeds on all connected devices more than doubled. Even our big screen TV, which is directly wired, was faster than when wired into my old router which I wasn't expecting. Devices that would drop connections sporadically were now connected 100% of the time, which made me realize just how flaky my old router was. The user interface is next level insane with the amount of details and control it provides. One thing in particular that really impressed me (among so many other things) is the ability to block traffic coming from any country displayed on the world map even when no threat is detected.

[@phatwayne]

Hi Chuck, I took my dream machine on holiday this year, thanks for the tip!. Even though the rental only had a 30mb connection compared to our 300mb connection at home; the dreammachine did a great job of keeping everything going smoothly. not once did I have to ask the kids to stop streaming so I could watch Netflix :)

[@PR0XIDIAN]

A really fantastic review! I purchased one based on this (as well as the UniFi AP Beacon HD Meshpoint). Currently renting a basement leaving 2 families in the same home, and I desperately needed a second SSID + VLAN to protect the server my wife and I store sensitive documents on, and keep random guests from being on our network. A worthy upgrade from our Google Wi-fi network! Seriously can't believe you can do 4 networks with separate VLANs in a consumer grade router that is equal in cost to anything decent you'd get from best buy. Fantastic!

[@sbash3003]

Dude, you are most definitely my favourite networking teacher on KZbin. I love your energy and speed. Don't ever change your delivery! (I can pause and rewind the things I didn't catch, but your a dream come true for us manic people who want info fired at us!)

[@JeremyRiley]

Thanks for a great video. Well structured and well edited with just the right amount of information. I was very disappointed with my DM until I moved to the PC management interface rather than the phone app. Suddenly, all the great features were there - firewall rules, port forwarding, IPS and more. Following along with your video, I was able to set up my whole network the way I wanted it in about an hour.

[@artisticbrit]

What a breath of fresh air you have been, Chuck. I have been overhauling my home network after a lot of weird activity on our network. You have given me such piece of mind over my home once more.

Just got mine a few days ago to replace my good old trustee AirPort Extreme. I really like the GUI and had fun looking into all the settings. I love that it's sleek and not ugly like 99% of the routers on the market. I love it. Also, it's easy to setup with the app.

[@CityStarATF]

The IDS/IPS function is a worthy security feature for a home user. I love the overall 'look' of this unit as it is similar to my Airport Extreme (needing to replace it with something soon!). Enjoyed your review and your positivity (5-stars)

[@daudabappa932]

Just done the same thing - shame there isn't any PoE on the ports though.

[@iambetterthanu]

Why no discussion of the privacy and security implications? No WPA3, but Ubiquiti said in Feb 2020 that it's "coming soon" and they haven't applied for certification but "they'll be ready" when WPA3 is required; spoiler alert - it's been required for certification by the WiFi Allliance since July 2020. They've been silent on this for months. Some features of UDM also require remote access to user data: possibly Threat Management (like Asus AiProtection), and a UniFi account is REQUIRED to even use this thing. These seem like glaring omissions for someone who teaches security to security professionals. I guess when Ubiquiti is paying the bills, you don't bite the hand that feeds.

[@elgeekcurioso5150]

28 minute vide, but you make clear what the device is about in the first two, exactly what I was looking for.

I ended up buying this. and being someone that is stuck on crap att dsl that maxes out at 100mb. this thing helped me a bunch. I only used the one and I went from spotty wifi and slow internet speed of 15mb to 80mb and wifi that seems to be great all-around my house. it feels like it manages what you have better cause everything seems to just load better. now I'm obsessed with adding the correct photos to everything in my house. good product and good review.

I've worked in Fortune 500 networking since 2000. Had CCNA three times lol, my Lord what a list of certs! It's staggering, how much money Cisco used to make, and how many jobs were involved, how much time and meetings and headaches getting set up (site-to-site VPNs), all the human effort that was wrapped up in what this box just *does*. The way for folks with the skillset to be able to configure this thing to add value is exactly what you said. Here is my new side gig and who knows. We need to preach the gospel of VLANs in the home until in the future people would think you were nuts to let your kids' friends on your family network. Or your IoT devices.

Hey man, i just saw the Unifiy Alien, is that the replacement for dream machine or will dream machine get its own wifi 6 variant/update? great vid

[@NumbersSans]

I think the Alien Router you're talking about is part of Ubiquiti's AmpliFi line which is the home user version. It's meant to be simple for the average user. The Ubiquiti's UniFi line is meant for advanced users and small businesses so it offers more settings for security and management features. The Dream Machine is part of that UniFi line. I'm waiting for them to make a Dream Machine with 802.11ax (WiFi 6).

Great video Chuck. I've got into COMPTIA certifications and there is a lot to learn from your videos. Back in December I wanted to upgrade my home WIFI from N to the latest and I found out there is a lot of colors to choose from. I ended up with a combo router/modem dual 2.4ghz and 5ghz while I decide. But this not just looks amazing, is a home practice network kit to play around and learn all these features. #dreammachine seems to be the solution, compared to google mesh this has the tweaking possibility that very few mesh systems offer. Thanks for the review and all the knowledge you share!

[@bjornfag]

This year, I noticed Ubiquity released a thing they called Unify Dream Router. This is supposed to be Dream Machine's successor. But I have also noticed that Dream Router has fewer features than the Dream Machine. I will mostly focus on security, and support for multiple VLANs. It would be great to hear from this community different opinions on each of these products. Maybe a comparison video could be done. The one's I've seen on other channels is quite superficial with no in-depth information.

[@GOPACKERSJT]

I am here because I was just looking at the two. I LOVED that the router has two POE ports in it, but it has some big issues. It is apparently loud, like the cooling system is loud... The bigger issue that can't do full 1Gbps speeds. The CPU in it is apparently trash and throttles to about 650Mbps, that is a deal breaker for me. Instead I just picked up a used Dream Machine and POE Switch.

Your videos are great and very useful , you have a great voice for this kind of calm delivery , easy to listen to for longer periods of time - I think the unit for me with be the "yet to be released "UDM-SE" , I think the UDM form factor with POE on the unit for adding Access Points and the LCD like the Alien unit will be the way to go - Why do you think there has been pictures and model number floating around for so long without a product release ? and insight on timeline ? - UI seems to have no WIFI-6 hardware , (Unifi 6 Lite rumored) , only on the Amplifi consumer side with Alien , but their Amplify seems to be under a Firmware crisis at the moment with performance, interoperability and stability issues all over the place... anything that needs to be rebooted more frequently than Environmental events like the occasional power glitch from the utility every 6 months or so is NOT ready for primetime use...) - Do you think UDM-SE will be WIFI 6 and they are holding up for a FULL Product Line refresh to WIFI-6 ? - Could you please make a video on how to share a printer across multiple VLANS , would be useful for Printer access from GUEST WIFI and then if I segment my home office traffic from Kid's traffic from "general traffic" but would like the easily share a printer across all VLANS. I have searched and no good videos on this and your delivery style would be a good way for me to learn this And lastly , something we are all now dealing with now , IOT.... I run a completely separate WIFI IOT network , I come of my main ISP router into TWO network routers , one for Home and one for IOT , that way NO IOT traffic goes anywhere near my "Home" network.... BUT , if you could do a video on how I can setup a completely isolated VLAN/SSID for IOT devices using all the same HARDWARE as my Home network (planned to be UDM-SE when it comes out... and 4 to 6 extra AP's) , that would be a great setup that we all could benefit from , something WITH monitoring of the IOT traffic but without any threats if a IOT device was to go rouge.... I think some IOT security videos would be great for your channel and something much needed on youtube. MANY thanks in advance, Best regards, Brad

I wasn't aware of this product until about a week ago when I first saw it in one of your videos. It's looking increasingly like something that I really want to get for myself. One thing that maybe puts me off? The cooling fan. Does it run all the time or just when things start getting toasty inside? Also it's a shame it doesn't have a modem built in but I know that's hard to do with so many different end user environments it's going into. I guess I'd just need to put my existing ISP-provided router into modem only mode. Looks like great kit anyway, and if I see one for an amazing low price I think I'll probably add it to basket.
