Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Machine (UDM) Review

The Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Machine (UDM) is an easy to use, all-in-one method of introducing the complete UniFi solution to your home. The UniFi UDM includes everything you need for a small-scale wired and Wi-Fi network. It’s intuitive to use, simplistic in its set-up, using the UniFi app or web interface and still offers all the benefits of the UniFi ecosystem.

The UDM’s minimal design would not look out of place in any environment. It houses an integrated 4×4 Enterprise AP capable of delivering high‐performance WiFi into high‐density environments, comparable to the Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-nanoHD. An advanced router with firewall policies and persistent threat management to act as an Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and Intrusion Detection System (IDS) capable of up to 1Gbps IDS/IPS throughput thanks to its Arm Cortex-A57 Quad-Core 1.7 GHz CPU. Offering higher IDS/IPS throughput than even the rack-mounted USG-PRO. Integrated Cloud Key functionality acts as a fully featured UniFi controller, the UDM can provision additional UniFi devices, allowing you to expand your home network easily, and quickly manage system traffic – no more dead spots.

All of these features including the 4 x 1 Gigabit switch ports on the rear of the device (non-PoE), make the UDM the ultimate All-In-One UniFi solution for home users looking for an uncompromised home network experience, capable of delivering a high-quality wired and wireless experience in any scenario, with infinite expandability.
