Best Wireless Router For Unifi

The typical home wireless router puts everything in one box - the router, software, and wireless access points. UniFi breaks it apart into plug and play modules that you can place anywhere independently. This gives way more configuration options which is all straight forward with the UniFi software. For those a little more knowledgeable on networking this is an awesome setup to have. Originally I plugged the UAP-AC-LITE into a EdgeRouterX but after power issues I upgraded to the Security Gateway which is a much better experience. Installed the UniFi software on my Macbook Air, it found and provisioned both, and I was up and running. Once it was configured I now only run the UniFi software when there's a need to check the system. This is enterprise grade with well considered management options and monitoring through an intuitive interface (four WiFi networks, customizable guest web page, deep packet inspection...) Great performance thus far, and with the UAP-AC-LITE using PoE I can have it on UPS while placing it anywhere there is an Ethernet port, like tucked behind the TV :-) Now looking to invest in a Cloud key (an independent little box to run the UniFi software) and a UniFi switch (to give more PoE). I'm hooked...

This router works well with other Ubiquity Unifi devices including managed switches, wireless access points and network extenders. This router is fast. The self hosted server app works well on a Windows 10 pc. What isn't clear from the product description or BHP tech support is that the 2.5 GB ports adapt to 1 GB connections and that this router can replace an older Ubiquity UniFi router by plug and play. All that is needed, is to replace the new router on the gateway connection and adopt the device. Once you adopt the new router you get a message saying you can't have 2 gateways. Then just go and forget/remove the old gateway router from the app and re-adopt the new gateway router. Give it a bit of time and all the settings will be automatically applied to the new router. I have a xfinity cable modem, UniFi gateway router, 2 UniFi 8 port managed switched, 1 UniFi WAP, 2 UniFi Beacon wireless network extenders and about 50 network devices managed with a fixed ip setup. My only complaint is that nobody at BHP or Ubiquity could give me a straight answer on upgrading the router.

The Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Dream AX3000 Wireless Dual-Band PoE Compliant Gigabit Router is a phenomenal device that offers exceptional performance and features. With 4x4 MIMO WiFi 6 and 160Hz channel spread, it provides lightning-fast speed and extensive coverage, making it perfect for a home system. The built-in security is easily manageable, and the router's PoE port works with any active PoE devices of the 803af standard, allowing for seamless integration with other devices. Additionally, the UniFi Dream Router's configurability and stability make it a top choice for users who want to take advantage of enterprise options without the need for extensive networking knowledge. Overall, this router is a fantastic investment for anyone looking for a reliable, high-performance Wi-Fi 6 router.

This is the BEST All-In-One WIRELESS I have ever bought! I can instantly print from any of my wireless devices!

Best router yet. Lots of speed and coverage is fantastic.

Always wanted to try out UniFi and have a 19 rack setup so I purchased this gateway (router). Has a lot of stuff built-in like CloudKey (to host the UniFi controller software), 8-port managed switch, NVR (software and hard drive bay to record cameras). The small touchscreen is neat to quickly checkout some stats on it. Very quiet operations.

I purchased this router (along with a UniFi AP) to replace an aging Netgear wireless router/AP. I had installed DD-WRT on that router and a lot of those features are included in this router. There are now however, no connection drops on my network. If you're looking at purchasing this router, you probably know what you'll be able to do with this thing. The only issue I could see is if someone with no networking knowledge tried to configure it. A VERY basic understanding of networking is required. There are included wizards, so you may not even need that. You really can't beat the price for the quality you're getting.

I purchased this UniFI Gateway Lite to replaced an older Edge Router X. I wish I had gotten this Gateway sooner, as it streamlines maintenance, usage monitoring, bandwidth prioritization, etc, easily using either web or phone app interfaces. Great product (using with UniFi Cloud Key Gen 2+, Switch-8, Switch-24 and Unifi WiFi APs).

This works beautifully in my redone network with all UniFi switching and a UDM-Pro for routing, network, and camera management. I already had the older version of this switch, a few Flex mini switches, and several UniFi access points, when I decided to go all in on UniFi switching (and a router). I was running a UCKG2+ for Network and Protect so I setup up the three new switches with it first before exporting the configuration and importing into a new UniFi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-P), which also replaced my Netgear R6250 router. This and the two new UniFi Lite 16-Port PoE+ switches adopted easily to the UCKG2+ and then transferred to the UDM-P - once I remembered to remove them from the UCKG2+ - which was in the network at the same time briefly. UniFi Network is able to draw an accurate diagram now - attached.

Another great AP from Ubiquiti. I paired this via PoE with the Unifi Dream Router, and it works perfectly. Great coverage and speed. I use this downstairs and my UDR upstairs to cover about 2800 sq. feet of house effortlessly.
