    Using this as an opportunity to upgrade from the OG UDM to this.

    What is the main advantage of doing this? I haven’t found my OG UDM lacking at all.

    Maybe WAN speed, I guess if you want to go over 750Mbit.

      Yep, the UDM is still fine for a lot of people.
      For me the draw is mainly Wi‑Fi 7/6 GHz, 2.5GbE WAN/LAN, and better overall headroom. Plus it gives me a cleaner base to deal with the coverage issues on the far side of the house.

    heads up the range for this is a lot less than the typical asus/netgear router

    • HitlersDad on 01/05/2026 - 20:05

      Why?

      • trippy on 01/05/2026 - 20:12

        6GHz maybe?

        • Mooncakes on 02/05/2026 - 13:41

          it's the 2.4 band that took the hit, I think it's because you're suppose to buy the APs.

          • trawg on 03/05/2026 - 10:19

            @Mooncakes: What's the 5GHz range like? I don't really care that much about 2GHz.

            I find the range comments interesting. I have an original UDM at work and really like it, to the point where I want to get one for home. Was thinking about this but a lot of people complaining about the wifi range here make me a bit nervous. I don't really mind buying APs but would rather not if I can avoid it.

            The original UDM wifi range was ample for my needs; curious if anyone has actually benchmarked the two devices and compared.

        because it's designed for commercial use in a modular network.

        I used to have a unifi setup, but moved to a much larger house where wired SPs didnt work, so I switched to an Asus xt8, with 2 extra mesh nodes with triband, so an exclusive 5hgz for backhaul, coverage is awesome, but with 50+ devices hanging off it, it's struggling, this is where a Ubiquiti holds it's own.

    • kizzaaa on 02/05/2026 - 00:47

      I upgraded from an asus RT-AX88U to UDR7 and found the range to be better on the UDR7.

      • ymmf on 02/05/2026 - 09:51

        I did the same and concur. But I also used a Gateway as an expensive AP (did not like the wall/ceiling mounted AP in my home setup).

      • Wasgood on 02/05/2026 - 12:12

        I've got the RT-AX88 and looking to upgrade and this would be perfect if it had more LAN ports.

        • kizzaaa on 02/05/2026 - 12:58

          The 5 port flex switch is decent value and can be powered by PoE. But I get it. I miss having a decent amount of ports on the router.

      • Mooncakes on 02/05/2026 - 13:40

        I upgraded from the same and it's less, doesn't mean much but it's something for people to look out for.

      Can second this.
      Great bit of gear, if you need/want the extra features.
      But, it isn't worth the spend otherwise.
      Range on my old freebie ISp provided TPlink was much better. Lacked many other features, but the penetration of this UDR, even at max, and the least congested channel etc is still around 25-30% under the old freebie unit.

      Otherwise, great bit of kit…

  • Sir Flabo on 01/05/2026 - 21:10

    For what it's worth, we've just changed from Telstra and this modem's range is better

  • Lonewolf1983 on 01/05/2026 - 21:14

    same price at Umart also

      I've had one for 12 months. Better than any Asus router I've used. So many more features and better security

      so they're whingeing about coverage whole article. buy a fkn AP, Ubiquiti are designed to easily expand coverage, not as a single unit. They're target audience is small-large business.

      it's like buying Land cruiser and complaining about how it's fuel economy sucks compared to a Civic.

    Wi-Fi coverage is poor. I replaced this Asus but regret it. The only advantage is if you have kids and want to control their online behaviour; then this model is the one for you. Separate vlan and Wi-Fi control by policy.

    • spaceflight on 02/05/2026 - 14:55

      You could buy a Synology which have better wifi range plus good set of filter controls, vlans, wifi networks etc.

      • StingyBritches on 07/05/2026 - 11:28

        Yeah. I changed my setup from Synology to Ubiquiti whilst waiting for my Synology RT6600ax router to be replaced under warranty (just after I'd purchased a Synology WRX560 to extend the WiFi range).

        Both brand-new bits of kit are still waiting for a new home (open to offers) as once I put the Ubiquiti gear in there was really no need to change back. Not to put shade on the Synology routers which are great, but the UDM and a couple of ceiling-mount APs are excellent.

        Just keep in mind, with both Ubiquiti and Synology you do pay 'Apple Tax' for the privilege.

    If the wifi is poor, why not add a few APs and mesh? Does this not support that?

    • glade90 on 02/05/2026 - 13:49

      Why not spend even more money when you could less spend less and buy something else? Strong advice, especially on OZB

        because it's not designed for Roblox & Minecraft kiddies, it's designed to be expandable.

        • glade90 on 02/05/2026 - 16:44
          -3

          It’s ‘expandable’ because the base setup is never enough, and yet you somehow mistaken that for a feature instead of a sales funnel. Cute.

  • Huntz on 02/05/2026 - 14:45

    This box is not for those who neet to improve their routing and WiFi connection - but more value if you subscribe to their ecosystem along with best UI for parental control or general control, remote VPN (travel and use your home internet for local services) and Unifi cameras (has an SD Card that supports some 2k cameras) - no cloud subscriptions or big brother watching.

    If you are fine with 1GbE wired speeds and do not need UniFi Protect, Access, Talk, or Connect, and your current router location is not ideal for WiFi coverage such as in a garage, and your house has wired LAN, consider this alternative:

    UGG Ultra $192 on Amazon
    https://www.amazon.com.au/Ubiquiti-UniFi-Cloud-Gateway-Ultra…

    U7 Pro AP $268 on Amazon
    https://www.amazon.com.au/Ubiquiti-Long-Range-Spatial-Stream…

    Total is $460, a bit more expensive, but the main advantage is a smaller router footprint and the ability to place the access point elsewhere in your home for better coverage.

    Also keep in mind that 6 GHz has shorter range and weaker wall penetration than 5 GHz. If you are not in the same room as your Dream Router 7, you will not benefit from 6 GHz. With a separate access point like the U7 Pro, you can place it where coverage is needed most.

    Also to consider is that 6GHz is not "magic" and one room away you will experience the same speeds as on 5GHz, while being less reliable than 5GHz. You could go for U7 Lite AP, which is still WiFi 7 but dual band without 6 GHz. You would still have up to 1GbE wireless speeds but the whole setup is just $365.

    U7 Lite $173 on Amazon
    https://www.amazon.com.au/Ubiquiti-Lite-Ceiling-Mounted-Acce…

    As I said at the start, this is better for flexibility, when the router can't be moved to ideal position which will affect it's Wi-Fi capabilities, and if you're house has wired LAN.

  • eWhizz on 05/05/2026 - 17:58

    Just as LR (long range) versions of Unifi Access points are rarely the answer to getting more quality coverage in your house, neither is getting an over powered single unit router combo that does everything in the one box and ‘provides more range’. More access points with less range is actually preferred in most environments for better coverage.

    I am regularly removing LR units in domestic and corporate environments installed by sparkles that knew no better, and replacing them with more suitable APs in quantity to provide better quality coverage.
