Oh come on. 3 switches and 2 ap is a start, but nothing to worry about yet for ubiquiti.

[@ethernetblueprint]

Maybe true... and time will tell, but they are listening to the public which is more than I can say for Unifi these days.

[@URackADisciprine]

@@ethernetblueprint You made this video FAR FAR to early. Alta Labs barely rates as a blip anywhere currently and will not be able to give Ubiquiti a run for its money for MANY MANY years to come unless Ubiquiti was to really screw up and give them market share. That is not likely to happen as TP-Link Omada is still ahead of them too. You are obviously biased, Ubiquiti should never have been mentioned in this video. Oh, and as for listening to the public, you look like a fool...Ubiquiti has massively changed their product/marketing/sales strategies over the past couple years based off customer feedback as well as their need to address concerns that Alta Labs will not have to deal with for many many years. Only thing you are right about is the dreamwall to a minor degree. People including yourself are obviously clueless about the type of company Ubiquiti is and why they operate the way they do. It's easy when you're the little guy and don't have to meet all the expectations they do.

[@msl28215]

I disagree. They will knock out Unifi in time. Watch and see….

[@URackADisciprine]

@@msl28215 LOL...in time! That could easily be a decade plus from now considering they have been around a few years already with very little to show for it across the spectrum. Sorry, but I like living in reality.

[@-iIIiiiiiIiiiiIIIiiIi-]

All I want: Cloud Gateway Ultra with: * 4 - 2.5G ports with POE+ It would be the perfect device. I actually prefer it to not have wifi built in since the standards change so often. I like the idea of upgrading the wifi devices as standards change and keeping my gateway device for as long as possible.

[@ethernetblueprint]

Yeah. The standards are changing fast and more and more new equipment is coming out. You bring up a good point on how to handle that. Thanks for the comment.

[@richardrodgers1009]

Five total products selling from Amazon? They may be worth watching in the future but I see nothing compelling here.

[@ethernetblueprint]

Thanks for watching. Appreciate it.

[@j340_official]

With such a limited product stack and at present no local controller, no cameras etc., I’m sorry but I gotta ask, how much did they pay you to say they’re the new sheriff in town ?

[@ethernetblueprint]

I just like the direction they are going and that they are listening to to their users. They haven't even been around for a year yet, so other products will come as part of their line-up.

[@cafub2650]

Content creators are loyal to the next free product they receive. Next video will be title “ I’m switching From Unifi They will listen to user feedback to get started and have KZbinrs hyper the product. Then on to the next free stuff

[@nick-dogg]

They need more products. The lineup is very limited.

[@URackADisciprine]

Yeh, quite a lackluster product stack to be making a video such as this.

[@RadoslawAdamStachnik]

What with WiFi 6E and 7?

[@ethernetblueprint]

My assumption is that their next WiFi product that operates on the 6Ghz spectrum will be a WiFi7 AP... however, they are sticking to their roadmap and focusing on getting some core products released... Here is a comment on the forum from Jeff Hansen, who I talked about in the video, commenting on WiFi 7... "The AP6-Pro does feature 4096 QAM, which is a key feature of WiFi 7, at a much lower price point than current WiFi7-capable offerings. As time goes on, we will continue to expand our product line to include more of the latest technologies."

[@URackADisciprine]

[@ahmedabdelghany9356]

Thanks for great vedio's, Needs help with setting up my MDU, now I am using the ISP modem that plugged RJ11 to it , and it's using the IP 192.168.1.1 which is the UDM default IP, Now I want to setup to make my UDM to be everything with the default IP instead the ISP modem, and just setup the ISP as Internet paypass to UDM and change the ISP to any, also as I know will connect the ISP lan port to UDM wan port is that correct ? Thanks for help

[@ethernetblueprint]

Sorry for the delay. Your message got put in my “needs approval” folder and I didn’t see it til now. Usually if you plug the UDM into a device that has a 192.168.1.1 gateway, the IDM will change its local IP to a different IP. (I think 192.168.2.1. It will show that on the little screen on the UDM. Option 2 is to log into the ISP router and change that subnet to something different.

[@taniksambo1969]

No router?

[@ethernetblueprint]

They haven't released one yet... I am currently using a Synology WRX560 Router which can do VLANs and all sorts of other great things...

[@taniksambo1969]

@@ethernetblueprint so would you be able to use this ap and switches with ubiquiti router?

[@ethernetblueprint]

Yes.

[@Kriojenic]

I bought the dream wall, it's perfect for those who are prosumer that dont want to setup a rack.

[@RadoslawAdamStachnik]

No 2.5 and 10 giga switch with PoE! Garbage!

[@ethernetblueprint]

I am glad you were happy with the product, I don't think it fits very many households and especially at a price of $1000. I am curious how your setup looks and if it something that is on display or if it is more hidden in your home. Either way, Thank for watching!

[@cbiggers]

The Dream wall is far from prosumer.

[@Kriojenic]

this is the only thing that kills me, we got one 10 gig sfp lan port and the rest are gbe poe++, leaves a lot of room for improvement i wont lie@@RadoslawAdamStachnik

[@richardallen08]

The dream wall is a great idea but falls into a weird space: too expensive for entry level residential use cases, not robust enough for techie residential use cases.

[@justindunn7467]

as far as I can tell they don't even have any 2.5 gbe ethernet switches and its 2024. If UI is behind the times and a few generations behind the competition typically (they are) then Alta is releasing great 2017 gear in 2024

[@AlexPasek]

I bet they are sooo "scared" 😂

[@ethernetblueprint]

Maybe not scared... but no company is too big to fail.

[@URackADisciprine]

@@ethernetblueprint Pouring it on thick...let that bias show!

[@AlexPasek]

@@ethernetblueprint You started with "You better watch out Ubiquity...", but it's evident that their R&D department surpasses Alta's capabilities in every aspect. The two are not even remotely comparable, be it in terms of market reach, product range, or customer base. Therefore, your clickbait title only serves to diminish your credibility.

[@URackADisciprine]

Free equipment = sponsorship whether you want to admit it or not.

[@Cemilaws]

Fuck unifi we need better company that does everything faster , I want small 10gbe Wan port and lan port for wifi aps and nas

[@ethernetblueprint]

Unifi is definately a love it or hate it company... pretty easy to see where you stand.

[@Cemilaws]

@ethernetblueprint true but I have a 10gig speed from isp and even if I buy the udm se and a 4 port 10gbe switch I will not get any higher speed than 2.5gbe port from wifi7 ap. It's just bullshit, iam waiting for a enterprise version maybe it will have 10gbe port, when they announce it I will be buying udm se , 2 sfp to rj45 adapter, 4port 10gbe, 2x 3rd party 10gbe to 10gbe poe adapter for 2 wifi 7s, ai pro camera for my street view , g4 pro doorbel for other side of the road, g5 pro for backyard. I have a 20tb exos spare for udm recording, 4 port 10gbe will be 2 wifis 1 10gbe synology nas and last for udm se. Any better tips ? My friend said fuck it and bought reolink 12mp cameras but the ai filters are bad , he can't find any timeline easy.

[@seapanda-117]

​@@Cemilaws What do you need that speed for over wireless? I'm not trying to be contentious, but it just seems like overkill unless you are in a legitimate corporate environment. What's going on that you can afford to equip your house with 10gig service and equipment but can't afford to run ethernet drops? It's definitely an interesting scenario.

[@Cemilaws]

@seapanda-117 what is ethernet drops? I can buy eero wifi 7 as it's was the fastest on tests but I want a all same brand other than 3rd party 10gbe poe

[@phillysupra]

@@Cemilaws you won't get faster speeds just by using 10gb. 10gb is the bandwidth not the speed. You could also link aggregate

[@ronm6585]

Thanks.

[@ethernetblueprint]

No worries!

[@marshallb5210]

looks like a knock-off Alibaba version of Unifi
