    That's a great price for UDM.

      but at the price they are wouldnt pfsense be the better option?

        pfsense and the UDM are not the same.

        pfsense is just a router.

        The UDM is a Switch, USG, IDS/IPS, NanoHD and Controller system.

        • Twix on 10/07/2020 - 21:43

          A beefed up USG & not the standard USG.

          Pfsense box usually perform better in terms of IDS/IPS and Router. Pfsense allow more/betters options in terms of routing/vpn/IDS/IPS.

          For most homes and just want some basic IDS UDM does the trick (You cannot even choose data range for IDS/IPS stats for UDM).

          Personally I would recommend UDM for most users but if you want your own home lab and like to tweak stuff I would still suggest pfsense box.

    • Section on 10/07/2020 - 21:46

      Yep, I posted the last deal for UDM @ Scorptec for $529, this is really good.

    • MrBillions on 11/07/2020 - 06:31

      For the UDM do you need to have your modem pass through or whatever bridge it, not sure what it is called but basically not have the modem router do any smarts but just be the NBN connection?

      • [Deactivated] on 11/07/2020 - 10:42

        Pretty sure no, you just have setup PPPOE or static IP in wan port depending your ISP that if you have FTTP. Not sure about FTTN.

        • Twix on 11/07/2020 - 13:57

          Static IP, PPPoE & IPoE is set by the ISP independent of the kind of NBN connection.

      • Twix on 11/07/2020 - 13:52

        FTTN & FTTB = modem + UDM.

        FTTP, FTTC & HFC = NBN connection device + UDM.

      • TheKLocker on 11/07/2020 - 16:40

        I think if you have a home phone you still need your ISP modem to function as a router.

          That's only if you're with Telstra and Optus and any others that don't share the info for Voip. RSP like ABB give you the info that you can use in a modem/router or a ATA or drop analogue completely and run a IP phone

    ASUS TUF-AX3000 AX3000 Dual Band Wi-Fi 6
    Does this give more coverage compared to regular router? Or should I go for mesh?
    Thanks

    • kasp on 10/07/2020 - 21:12

      Depends on your house size and setup really.

      Mesh generally gives better performance but if you are in a small place with paper thin walls then it doesn't matter. I usually advise people to go mesh if they have any sort of WIFI issues. The Mesh systems usually have better tech in them and dedicated channels etc to assist with distance and speed.

      Nothing will beat a LAN and a few AP. I got unifi ones and it's all seemless transitions

      • dixy on 10/07/2020 - 21:30

        What do u mean by lan and ap?
        Is it router connected to ap?

        • DoesntEvenMatter on 10/07/2020 - 21:36
          +5

          Having all rooms connected with catX which run to a central location where the router, patch panel and switch are located. AP is a wifi access point. I have them located on the ceilings throughout the house so when as you move it's all on the same SSID and it switches over to the better signal so you always have max connection. Anything that has a ethernet port is connected directly to the network instead of WiFi.

          For a simple set up you can use a router to connect a AP, will nerd a PoE injector to power it tho

          • onlinepred on 10/07/2020 - 23:34

            @DoesntEvenMatter: That's the dream, mostly unreachable as majority of Australia rents lol

          • pumpkinspice on 11/07/2020 - 07:02

            @DoesntEvenMatter: Good advice re cabling and APs.
            I want to ask something though:

            and it switches over to the better signal so you always have max connection.

            I didn't think it worked liked that. Don't devices hold on to their connection until that connection drops?

            Like, you connect to one AP, move to another room and literally be sitting next to another AP, but you haven't lost connection to the first AP so you sit there with poor signal.

            • kipps on 11/07/2020 - 08:07

              @pumpkinspice: Not if your SSID is same on those APs. The computer will move to the more appropriate AP.

              • pumpkinspice on 11/07/2020 - 08:25

                @kipps: Is this specific to ubiquiti APs?

                I've had multiple APs a couple of times (non ubiquiti), always running the same SSID, and on different channels to each other.
                I've always found with my laptop and phone that I need to switch off/on my WiFi to get it to jump to the new AP if I'm still within range of the further AP.

                  @pumpkinspice: The unifi APs work this way. Completely seamless. Best thing I ever did and get away from an endless parade of expensive and ugly overpriced routers, that all failed after a couple of years.

          • pumpkinspice on 11/07/2020 - 08:22

            @DoesntEvenMatter: Also, I'm interested to know if you run all ubiquiti, or a different brand router.

            I got my first Unifi AP AC LITE yesterday, connected to a non ubiquiti router.
            The unifi dashboard seems not great with this setup.

              @pumpkinspice: The unifi controller will be limited to the AP. Thats a great way to start, eventually upgraded to the USG. Unless your looking to configure more advanced features that could be enough for your network.

              • pumpkinspice on 11/07/2020 - 10:59

                @tm32: I had some teething issues when I updated the firmware on the AP, it dropped off the controller.
                I had to uninstall an re-install the controller to get it to re-appear. All sorted now!

                I may go down the same path with a USG and a second AP to replace my R7000.

              @pumpkinspice: I'll add the USG and a Mini Flex to your set up. Tho since your running the AP and want to take out the PoE injector the US-8-60 is a great option. Pair it up with a controller installed on a rasPi

      Asus TUF supports mesh.

    • AEKaBeer on 11/07/2020 - 12:22

      Heads up with the ax3000 it's basically a mid ranger in a housing that's reminiscent of the high end units. It's range is good but throughput at distance isn't amazing and often beaten by older cheaper asus routers. If you're only using it for internet and not any sort of internal network file sharing then it will be fine, but for the money I would look elsewhere.

  • bestbarginever on 10/07/2020 - 21:10

    Mesh better for sure

    I have 2 pair of ASUS AX300 using iMesh.
    Its awesome.
    I got them during the $50 Steam promo which makes them great value as well.
    Pity the Steam promo has expired now.

    ASUS AX300 is usually $50 cheaper than the TUF gaming one.
    Not sure what the difference is or if it is worth the extra $50.

    I've heard that the ASUS Blue Cave is great too @ $200.
    https://www.amazon.com.au/ASUS-AC2600-Router-Smart-BLUECAVE/…
    Not sure how well it will pair up with iMesh?

    • Twix on 10/07/2020 - 21:34

      The TUF difference is that you can port forward in 3 steps & a gaming LAN port that in theory puts gaming at top priority.

      • congo on 10/07/2020 - 22:00

        Thanks. Do you know if there are any issues with pairing up (iMesh) the ASUS AX300 with ASUS TUF-AX300?

        • Twix on 10/07/2020 - 22:04

          I don't see why not. The CPU, RAM is the same & both support Asus mesh.

    Great price on the UDM dream machine. Picked one up a couple of months ago for $523 delivered.

  • organamisms on 10/07/2020 - 22:32

    I picked up the UDM the last time it was on sale at this store and have had spotty connections and weak signal strength compared to the Netgear R7000P that I replaced.

    While it has a lot of features, I didn't find the configuration intuitive at all and you had to dig through configuration options - e.g. you'd think you'd specify the frequency for the 2.4 and 5GHz bands in the Wireless Section, but instead you have to select the Dream Machine Device, configuration, and then you'll find the dropdown to select it.

    I like the concept of offering an inbuilt "network scanner" and "honeypot", but don't get your hopes up as they're ridiculously basic and allow for zero configuration or visibility into.

    Honestly, if you've got decent gear that's giving you reliable connectivity - don't be tempted by the features offered by the UDM. It's nearly twice the price of the R7000P it replaces (even on sale) but doesn't offer the value for money.

    • Twix on 10/07/2020 - 22:39

      To boost your signal strength plug in or mesh another AP.

      The udm is essentially a nano hd ap. Good for a room or 2. I run spare wifi routers as my other access points. No cost upgrade.
      Same ssid, password, different channels. All I miss out on is the in depth logging of going all unifi

      • kipps on 11/07/2020 - 11:37

        I really don't see the value in the UDM, even at this good price of $499. For the price of an Edgerouter X, and a couple of AP AC Pro/Lites, you will have a better network for home, and it's really not that hard to run the Unifi controller on any PC as needed.

        • DoesntEvenMatter on 11/07/2020 - 12:07

          I actually agree with that. I don't even like it's aesthetics lol I like eveything inside the server rack. I wont pair with a edge tho, I'll stick to unifi. As for the controller, I just run it on a pie

        • peter05 on 11/07/2020 - 18:11

          Agreed, the pro at least you can use to record video and have the scrubbing features the new video interface provides vs the free one available

        • Buyer10987 on 12/07/2020 - 01:26

          I run the UniFi Controller on a Raspberry Pi, which as a bonus also runs PiHole.

          (FWIW……Also I use a USG, plays nicely with a UniFi-Centric network.)

  • savemesomemoney on 11/07/2020 - 10:04

    "this can cause dryness, headache, and eye sensitivity over long usage periods". Does this mean this is a bad monitor for gaming? Does anyone have any experience using the 24" monitor? My 6 year old monitor suddenly developed a huge dark area while in the middle of gaming.
