The UniFi Dream Router 7 with integrated Wi-Fi 7, PoE switch, microSD storage, and full UniFi application support is a great option for home networks and small to medium-sized businesses.
Back in May, it was time for Matt to replace his router, so he decided to dip his toes into the UniFi ecosystem... Turns out things went well and the dipping of the toes became a triple lindy into the deep end!
In this video, Matt describes the experience of switching from his Linksys router to the UDR 7, his decision making process that led to the purchase, and we take a look at what other UniFi equipment has made its way to his network over the past 90 days.
