    Small, uses 10 watts of power, has single wan and single lan port. Also doubles as wifi 6 access point and I can control every aspect of my network with ease. Built in VPN, ad-blocking and firewall support.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid this Unifi Product!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2024
    I've worked with several different Unifi products in a professional setting for several years and have always been impressed with the features you get for the cost. I was really looking forward to a more prosumer/small business offering that was comparably priced to other home networking solutions. Searched for reviews and found a lot of praise for this product so I pulled the trigger. Setup was very simple and familiar to other Unifi gear I've worked with. During the setup I did notice the UI was a little sluggish but assumed there was some background initialization still going on.

    Got everything setup and noticed it was on a very old firmware version but did not give me the option to upgrade it. I looked it up and found to just let the auto update in the middle of night run and it should get the upgrade done.

    I also bought a second Unfi Express device to create a mesh wireless network and the setup of the second device was very easy.

    Here is where the good stopped. The following day the devices had upgraded themselves to the latest firmware. With this, the second device went into isolation mode. The primary UX was still working but on the LCD screen showed it was 'ready for setup' even though the management portal retained all the settings. While doing all this the UI remained very sluggish to move from one menu to the next. Started to research this new issue and found a lot of responses on different forums of these issues and warnings of buyer beware. The sluggish UI is from the setting "Traffic Identification". It's turned on by default and will put a very heavy load on the CPU. Disabling this does help the UI sluggishness, but you lose out on a very useful feature. The second UX device going into isolation is common issue and happens at random.

    At this point I decided the trouble isn't worth it and boxed up the devices and sent them back. I liked the concept Unifi was going with here, but the execution was just poor. The device just doesn't have enough resources to do what they advertised it for. A better CPU and more onboard memory would have gone a long way here in performance.

    I use this as an access point. It is quite powerful and a ton of my devices have switched to it.

    It solved my problem. I had to buy 3 because my ISP couldn’t provide reliable and stable Wi-Fi. These provide stable Wi-Fi all around the property.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Works with Unifi Portal
    Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2025
    I've used a couple of these for smaller basic camera systems and no real problems. I can see if a problem is with the server by still being able to connect to the router with the Unifi Portal. Some form of speed test would be useful though.
