Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Router (UDR)
All-in-one UniFi gateway, Wi-Fi 6 AP, switch and Protect NVR in one fanless console. The simplest way into the UniFi ecosystem for a small UK home.
4.2 / 5
★★★★★ ★★★★★ Highly recommended
Strengths
- True all-in-one: gateway, single Wi-Fi 6 AP, four-port switch, NVR and console in one fanless unit
- UniFi Protect NVR is built in - record up to a handful of UniFi cameras to the internal microSD slot, no subscription
- One PoE+ port (26W budget) for an extra UniFi AP or G-series camera without adding a PoE injector
Watch outs
- Single AP - fine for a flat or small two-bed, but a 3+ bedroom semi will need additional UniFi APs
- Wi-Fi 6 only - no 6 GHz (Wi-Fi 6E) or 7 GHz (Wi-Fi 7) bands, so it dates faster than the 2024 generation hardware
- Routing throughput peaks around the 700 Mbps mark with IDS/IPS on - fine for UK gigabit FTTP, less margin for symmetric 2 Gbps services
£299
