    What’s go good about it? Asking for 98% of people who just use a router ;)

    • Space saving if your place is tight.

      wifi 6 for 1k nah

    • For people somehow need PoE++, PoE+ ports, require 16 LAN ports and have 10Gbps infrastructure. Basically small to medium businesses with deep pocket (or can expense this to offset tax).

        For a business, where redundancy is important having too many apples in one basket is not a good idea.

      • So for the 2% I didn’t reference??

        • There are two issues with this, the main one is price. Ubiquiti gears are attractive to owners with a new house build (because ethernet wiring is quite cost effective) so new houses tend to have lots of ethernet ports. 16 ports is attractive, but the price is too expensive.

          The other issue is not enough 2.5Gbps LAN ports. With NBN upgrade and AM5 mandating 2.5Gbps LAN support, people with a new house build would prefer minimum 2.5Gbps LAN.

          Anyway, that's why it is heavily discounted (still too expensive though). Most of us live in old / older houses without ethernet wiring so this seems like an overkill.

    Even for Ubiquiti, that's expensive for what it is.

      Huh? 10gbit and 2.5gbit WAN, 10Gbit Lan + 15 port switch with 4xPoE++, 4xPoE+ ports with a 420W budget.. 3.5gbps routing.. and Wifi thrown in this thing is a beast that pushes towards the UDM-SE/Pro/even ProMax
      This thing can do solid wired backhaul for a Wifi7 mesh network. The only downside I see is the limited onboard storage for Unifi Protect so you'd need an NVR for it.

        do solid wired backhaul for a Wifi7

        Over GbE. Kind of defeats the purpose.

        The only downside I see

        Is needing to purchase an additional 2.5 GbE switch to spread the new NBN 2000mb/s plans across the LAN

          Did you see it has 10gb Ethernet? Hook it to a 2.5gbe Poe managed switch and you're golden. That's flexibility, not a downside. The downside is not having an m2 port (or preferably a 3.5" drive bay) for potential ubiquiti Protect applications. 1gbe Poe is perfect for a ubiquiti protect setup.

          • @kabammi:

            The downside is not having an m2 port

            The other downside - this is an all-in-one.

            You can't replace or upgrade the router, switch, or access point like you would normally be able to do in the Unifi ecosystem - you're stuck with the exact features as delivered.

              @Nom: Rubbish. UniFi doesn’t lock you in at all.
              Don’t like the built-in AP in the Wall? Disable the radio and hang Wi-Fi 7 APs off the PoE ports or chain it off a faster switch (Flex XG or similar). Uplink via 10G to a bigger/multi-gig switch and let that handle distribution. Storage for Protect? Use a dedicated NVR/NAS/UNVR.
              You can replace any leg later while keeping the Wall as the routing/controller core with the same management plane, using incremental upgrades.
              You may not like the form factor, but that's horses for courses. But make no mistake, this is Unifi.

              • @kabammi: Why did you start your post with "Rubbish." and then proceed to post the same list of all-in-one issues !?

                Weird, but we're in complete agreement.

                The best thing about a normal Unifi setup is the fact that everything is modular. As time passes, you can keep each component current. The only way to add new features to this one is for it to stop being an all-in-one 🤦

        This would have been perfect for replacing my current UDM Pro + switches setup if the redundant PSU bays were 3.5" HDD bays… Otherwise can't fault it.

        • +3

          Yeah. My exact thought was remove the psu give me an drive bay ( even if only for SSD size)

    Thanks, bought 10 and saved almost 7k

  • This really needed to be upgradeable to have any chance of success. The ability to swap out component modules for upgrade or replacement, where required, should have been included, especially at RRP.
