      Unifi APs are the only Ubiquiti option, so not any choices to really make there.

      Unifi has newer firewalls in that line that have a new OS, haven't seen it yet to know if it's better than what's on the USG (which mostly just sucks).

      The USG should be able to handle 1 Gb as long as you aren't doing any filtering/QOSing, if yes, then you'll need more processing power.

      Part of the issue is that I cant tell whats newer or older on their product page. I looked at specs and picked best cpu/memory option that has poe and thats what looks like the best. I could be way off. Never ordered from them before.

        I run an edgerouter lite and Unifi APs. Been that way for a long time with zero issues. I plan on upgrading to the ER4 one of these days.

        Thanks. Ive been wanting to try them at home.

          @jmoore I have 1 AC-Lite in the house and 1 AC-Lite in my shop. Works great. I also segregated my SSIDs for the normal network and for ioT stuff. It is fairly easy to create VLANs on the edgerouter and firewall rules.

            Ok cool. I look forward to trying them out. Will be fun. I'll see if I can find those ap's or something close. I have a small house so probably just need 1 currently. I hope to convert garage into a shop myself at some point though.

              yeah, I heard ya, but in general that part doesn't really matter, as you've already done, it's more about getting the cpu needed for your end goal.

                Well Im sure i dont need all that but I like toys to play with and I look at it as future proofing lol.
                Planning on:
                Edgerouter 6p
                Edgeswitch 8
                Unifi Ap Pro

                Does that seem like a solid combo? any reason I shouldn't?

                  ER-6 and AP Pro could be over kill, future proofing isn't worth the dollars, unless you know you're upgrading to something higher than you have now for sure in like 6 months, chances are much more likely you'll use this for several years and new equipment will be out that you'd likely rather go to.... that said, it's good stuff.

                    @Dashrender Ok thanks for the advice. Im looking for just a bit of overkill. I would like to upgrade more equipment in future so want this to be my backbone.

                      I want to play with the UDM, it has the new Unifi firewall interface... very curious how it's different from USG.

                          Agreed - we talked about here a few weeks ago... the new interface is the big thing I'm interested in.. but I"m also running a USG at home and considering moving to 1 Gb service at home and will need to upgrade my router...
                          but discussion back then Scott was like - who would want that?

                            @Dashrender I'm sure it works just fine. Sometimes you don't know its subtleties until you try it too.

                                  Yeah I see that. So they require a PO and this is just personal. Do I have any options to buy from them like I have before or am I just stuck?
