Original Coupon Deal

Good price, so pulled the plug trigger. Not the cheapest ever but currently cheapest per my research. I used Macquarie to purchase gift card at 2% off details here

Discussion on previous post here

My own wifi story, if anyone interested: Recently moved to Unifi stuff and couldn't be happier. Previously had original google wifi which I ran for few years. A month ago tried Nokia Beacon 3 which was let down by software and most of the advertised features not available due to some cloud migration taking Nokia more than a month. Returned to amazon.

Bought myself couple of Unifi AP AC-PRO and Unifi POE switch (retired my trusted but outdated Netgear GS724TP V1H2). Now adding UDM to the mix.

Edit: Computer Alliance ebay upped the price to $519. Thanks to @NGPriest found titan_gear here at $499. Making it same deal from a different seller. In-Stock at the time of posting

Have requested Mod to amend deal

    So it was a good price but you didn't take the deal?

    "Pulled the trigger" perhaps? :)

        I am, and I definitely would have made the same mistake.

    • Twix on 19/09/2020 - 17:29

      FTTN and FTTB = VDSL modem + Ubiquiti UDM.
      FTTP and HFC = NBN NTD + Ubiquiti UDM.
      FTTC = NBN NCD + Ubiquiti UDM.

        Cheers that's what I thought. What's the wifi range like for 800sm block house. Tossing up between this or mesh.

        • wellzi on 19/09/2020 - 17:54
          +3

          You either have a f***ing MASSIVE house… or mistakenly giving us the size of the block rather than the house itself. There are too many variables to determine whether the UDM alone will be good enough. Like what's the shape of your house, where will you place the UDM, what materials is the UDM going to have to penetrate to give you house-wide coverage.

          You could install the UniFi controller onto your PC and play with the floor planner tool! :)

          Example: https://img.community.ui.com/8810bc6e-c65b-4b54-a796-777cdfe…

          • dmbminaret on 19/09/2020 - 18:20

            @wellzi: 701m2 block. 4 bedroom house on that block. Sorry wasn't real clear. I'm sure it would be great. I was toying with tenda mw6 ac1200 mesh setup but my gut tells me this will be as good range and more reliable.

            • gunslinger on 19/09/2020 - 18:52

              @dmbminaret: I have a UDM and am looking to put another AP in my house as it doesn't penetrate (well) a cupboard, 2 walls and approx 25m distance of house if that helps.
              With the udm, you'll also need a POE(+) switch to add another AP.
              Hope this helps :)

                @gunslinger: The APs come with a PoE injector so no need for a PoE switch. At least the last few Unifi APs that I've bought have come with them.

                • gunslinger on 19/09/2020 - 18:56

                  @mrderrickc: Ah ok, thanks :)

                    @gunslinger: Just check the listing or ask vendor. Some do some don't. They're generally $20 if not supplied with so factor that in to the purchase.

        • Twix on 19/09/2020 - 17:56

          Ubiquiti UDM has a mesh option called wireless uplink to expand your setup with more Unifi APs.

          • dmbminaret on 19/09/2020 - 18:21

            @Twix: Is that in the software or a hardware add on? Can you then use say unifi lite APs without wiring them?

            • Twix on 19/09/2020 - 19:04
              +1

              @dmbminaret: Mesh uplink is in the Unifi settings and allows you to add Unifi APs without wiring.

        New phones are already Wifi6 compatible, and PS5 also due to release in 1.5 months also supporting Wifi6, I really don't see how I can justify buying the router at that price

        • mactos on 20/09/2020 - 18:58

          limited/no benefit with first revision of wifi 6.
          this is same price as USG + cloud key, so the AP component is just a bonus really.
          if you want an all in one router and won't be using other APs or unifi switches, its not worth paying the ubiquiti tax i agree

            +1

            @mactos: For anyone lucky enough to be on 250Mbps or Gigabit the performance of the UDM smashes the USG with IDS/IPS enabled.

              +1

              @Twix: Yes, that's the point. You can view it as though the AP is just a bonus at this price.
              Granted its expensive, but that's UBNT.

            • fifoo on 20/09/2020 - 21:22

              @Twix: Not an expert, but I read on reddit that USG runs an older OS and may be discontinued in future. UDM runs the newer one.

      • ryemigie on 21/09/2020 - 09:35

        I'm on 250mbps, got 3 WiFi 6 devices. The problem is you wanna keep a router for 3-5 years (or at least I do) so I'd wanna be on the latest standard that 90% of good tech devices are using nowadays

    • fifoo on 20/09/2020 - 16:31
      +1

      it's a fair point but wifi 6 aka 802.11ax isn't yet certified by IEEE. Apparently it's meant to happen this month or next. Basic wifi 6 works over the same bands as wifi 5 i.e. 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands. It is faster and has its benefits but nothing ground breaking for me.

      The real advancement is wifi 6E which will work over 6Ghz band, which is still far away as individual countries need to approve use of 6Ghz band. It'll be a while before that gets across to routers and devices.

      anyway, everyone can form their own opinion and make decisions.

  • OzFrugie on 20/09/2020 - 22:10

    Why ubiquity is so popular?
    Is it better than more mainstream routers eg. Asus rt-ac86u etc?

    • fifoo on 22/09/2020 - 18:48

      sorry to hear that mate. reach out to seller, they have good reputation on OzB.

      Mine arrived in Melb early morning but no movement since. hopefully will be delivered tomorrow.

      • Hargain Bunter on 22/09/2020 - 18:56

        Thanks mate, will do. Mine was from Computer Alliance, was yours also bought through them?

        I did read on UDM deal from another seller that the seller had opened boxes to swap the power cords. What’s a bit weird is the broken seals on the box say “Quality Control Australian Branch”.

        • fifoo on 22/09/2020 - 19:08

          yeah Computer Alliance, as per my original post.

          I don't think all ebay sellers open boxes and swap cables. I think it's done by Ubiquiti's Australian distributor, some might have their own ebay stores such as Wireless1.

          What was missing from the box? just packaging or anything else or damage to box ?

          • Hargain Bunter on 22/09/2020 - 19:27

            @fifoo: Nothing seemed to be missing other than a piece of packaging from the bottom of the box, it may have been removed when the AU cord was put in. The UDM almost dropped out of the box onto the ground as I was opening the package as I expected the box to be sealed.

            There’s some damage to the corners of the box which might have happened in transit as the box was just in a plastic posting satchel with no bubble wrap.

            • fifoo on 22/09/2020 - 19:34

              @Hargain Bunter: I’ll be careful opening my package!

            • wobblycreature on 22/09/2020 - 20:48

              @Hargain Bunter: Received mine today as well and it came in an open box same as yours. I purchased from Computer Alliance as well, the black AU cable was just thrown in. The box was missing the bottom piece from the packaging.

              I did reach out to the seller and they said that that the unit is as supplied from their Australian distributor, It is new and has not been out to another customer or opened by us. if you're unhappy you can return the product for a refund.

              And well i dropped mine as soon as i took it out of the plastic satchel, luckily it fell on the bed and not on the floor, phew i almost had a heartattack at that time.

              • fifoo on 22/09/2020 - 21:12

                @wobblycreature: Lucky !!

                Interested to see if someone who ordered from Titan_gear store reports how their device is packaged.

                Also, Good to see express post working as next day delivery, just not for locked down Melbourne. I understand it though…

    • fifoo on 23/09/2020 - 09:48

      received mine this morning. exactly same as yours. black cable just thrown in, bottom packaging missing. It would have been much better to leave the original unit as is and just throw in an Australian cable on the side. all labour of opening box and doing the work, it would be cheaper to just provide extra cable.
