UDR7

I bought the UDR7 as the heart of my home network, and it's turned out to be one of the best technology purchases I've made in years. On the surface it's an excellent Wi-Fi 7 router with plenty of performance for a busy home, but it's so much more than that. The UniFi ecosystem is incredibly well thought out, and once you start exploring it you'll quickly realise what it's can do. From creating VLANs and secure guest networks to running site-to-site VPNs, managing access points, cameras and smart home devices, everything is controlled through one intuitive interface. It's also been rock solid. Once configured, it's just quietly gets on with the job. Performance has been excellent, coverage is great, and I've found myself adding more UniFi devices because everything integrates so seamlessly. One word of warning... this could become an expensive hobby! I started by buying the router, and before long I found myself adding access points, cameras and other UniFi hardware because it's all so easy to manage. Sadly my wallet hasn't quite forgiven me yet. If you're just looking for a basic plug-and-play router, this is probably overkill. But if you enjoy technology and want something you can grow into, rather than outgrow, I honestly can't recommend it highly enough. It has completely transformed my home network, and I'd buy it again without hesitation.

First time ubiquti user. I'm not a network engineer I'm just a nerd with a smart home who loves all stats/information. This feels a very apple-esque experience from unboxing it's nice presentation box to plugging it in and the device just sorting itself out and deciding it's role while I stand back with keyboard in hand ready to get busy just to find it's done (almost) everything itself. I had one snagging point being on EE/BT broadband, required inputting of some generic easily found on Google login information which did cause issues with it not detecting my internet, many ISPs now don't require this, but my BT/EE does & id have expected this with any 3rd party router. But where other routers tend to ask this information during setup, the Ubiquiti didn't seem to want to guide me through this process, just a no network cable detected scenario and I had to manually find the menu to enter login information. But, from there it was a breeze, I've now easily setup VLANs for my main network and my IoT network while also cloning my old network SSID to keep track of which of my (80+) smart home devices still need porting over to the new network. The sheer scale of information being provided by the router is amazing, coming from an Asus router which I already loved this has taken everything to a new level. Amazing flexibility is also offered, loads of settings I'll never need, touch, or even know what they are for. VPN integration is also great, able to setup specific VPN clients and route the entire network or just one device through it with ease. Performance wise, my old router was a beast but 4-5 years old now and I found things just a bit sluggish at times, and my Xbox downloaded at 400-700mb/s (1gb connection) and I figured that's just Xbox Live and my connection was too strong for it to reliably provide anything. Then, I researched my Asus router and found mentions it supports 35-45 devices before it experiences performance issues (remember I said I had 80+) ... So I decided maybe I needed a new router with a higher count, this claims 300+ devices, much research done and it's added to my cart. All 80 decides ported into the network, VPNs setup, some protection settings enabled (which apperently can slow things down).. my first Xbox download smashed 900mb/s and my pings are 6-8ms as opposites to 10-12ms, so clearly without realising my old router despite me thinking it's as good as it gets (just without wifi7) has been holding back my connection/network capabilities substancially. My mobile is also hitting 500-900mb/s all around my house using WiFi 7 where before it was more like a 200 maximum in WiFi 6 I've also bought a Ubiquiti WiFi access point to go outside and that was the most incredible setup process ever, I literally plugged it in, hit the new device button in app and it set itself up as a WiFi mesh with zero input from myself. Honestly for the price tag, this router genuinely seems like a bargain and great entry point to the Ubiquiti ecosystem & a can scale to suite someone without a clue, to someone who knows and likes to tinker right upto a a level where a network engineer would be satisfied. Points of note: it is worth noting Vs a powerful/gaming multi-antenna router of WiFi 6, the signal from the smaller/internal antenna DR7 is almost certainly lesser & the difference between a DR7 and a "Gaming Router" from another brand at similar price points will be this has a 2x2 Antennas where as other devices are probably sporting a 4x4, offering greater signal range and in ideal situations double the bandwidth, but I'm very happy with what Ubiquiti offers the ecosystem just works and the software is quite exceptionally nice & powerful to operate 300+ devices,... But the 2x2 Antennas is certainly the trade off with the DR7.

Top quality piece of equipment. Swapped out a deco mesh system with three nodes for this unit alone. Was able to cover the whole house by locating it centrally. Have 1gb broadband and now I can actually get proper speeds over WiFi with very few drop outs. Plan on extending the system to hardwire some of the more demanding devices in the house. Will use the Poe on the unit for this. Overall it’s great and works as you would expect from a premium product and price.

This router seriously is a dream. There are so many options I was able to get rid of several peripherals I had on my home network (e.g. a Pi running DNS). I love the dashboard, the 2.5g (x4) and the 10g (x1) ethernet ports, and WiFi 7 is so very fast. I have a three floor semi-detached house and placed it on the ceiling of the middle floor - the whole house is covered. It has many security options beyond a simple firewall. Honestly I have never seen anything like it (former Network Manager, MSc IT). I realise it costs more than a lot of other home networking solutions - but it is well worth it. The only downside was that the light ring on top lights up your room a bit if you're trying to nap ha ha ha.

Great device. Easy to setup and loads of advanced features. Works out of the box with Gigaclear. Rather disappointing that it was not shipped with a UK power cord - had to steel on from a TV to get it running!

Connects to Openreach ONTs using PPPoE 2.5Gb/s ethernet and overcomes all the faults with the EE WiFi7 Pro hardware. Highly configurable on UniFi networks. 4xSSID per access point, WiFi7, 6Ghz, VLANs inc guest hotspot.

Keeps dropping connection. Takes ages to boot. Poor speeds and range. Even my 5 years old cheap Asus router outperforms it.

£255 at time of review If you're looking at this for a home set up then it's likely over kill for 99% of households, but if you're like me, you work from home, have a NAS, run Plex, Docker containers and know the difference between WAN, LAN & VLAN then honestly look no further, this thing is brilliant. The software is very thorough, the UI very well laid out, it can be simple or as complex as you want or need it to be, you want to set up a few basic rules, a bit of port forwarding etc, it's a doddle, but if you really want to get under the hood, need access to firewalls, load balancing NAT, DNS, VPN then it's all there at your finger tips and Reddit & YouTube are choc full of helpful videos and tutorials UPDATE: I've had this a month now and I have to say, from a software perspective it's fantastic, but it has one huge problem and it's losing a star for it, the signal strength is appalling. Yes I live in an old house and the walls are thick, have concrete, metal and gods knows what surprises I discover when doing a spot of DIY at times, but placing my years old Orbi Mesh router in exactly the same spot as a test simply blows this out of the water. I've attached the WiFi Man screen grab of my place (a Ubiquiti app that works with their routers etc) and as you can see, the drop off of the signal is very noticeable. Yes it still works fine for most things, but I've had to keep my Orbi Mesh up and running in AP Bridge mode and created an entirely separate WiFi network for my IoT and smart devices, as the security camera at my front door was struggling to keep a connection and it's only 4metres away! yet it connects to the Orbi Mesh and the nearest access point for that is at least 7m away plus an additional 2 walls! Hope my review was helpful

OMG !!! I'm in love, like actual love. So easy to set up. Speed and network great. The UI oh the UI i spent all night just exploring the options!!! Amaze Amaze Amaze

Sono passato dal Fritz!Box 7690 al nuovo Ubiquiti Dream Router 7 e la differenza si nota subito. Questo dispositivo è davvero al top: la qualità costruttiva è eccellente e il design è futuristico, bello da vedere e con un piccolo display che mostra le info principali senza nemmeno aprire l’app. Sul lato tecnico, qui siamo su un altro livello: • Wi-Fi 7 tri-band (2,4 GHz, 5 GHz e 6 GHz) con una velocità e una stabilità che il Fritz non può offrire. • Porte 2.5 GbE e WAN fino a 10 Gb via SFP+, perfette per sfruttare al massimo le connessioni moderne. • Gestione avanzata tramite UniFi, con controllo totale della rete, VPN, firewall e funzioni di sicurezza più complete. • Memoria integrata e supporto NVR per telecamere IP, così tutto resta sotto controllo. In pratica, non è solo un router ma un vero centro di gestione della rete domestica o da ufficio. Il telefono, i PC, la smart TV e i dispositivi IoT si collegano senza problemi e la copertura è sempre stabile. Rispetto al Fritz!Box 7690, che resta un buon prodotto, questo UDR7 gioca in un’altra categoria. Più veloce, più sicuro, più flessibile. Se cerchi prestazioni di fascia alta unite a un design che arreda, è la scelta giusta. Un altro punto forte è l’ecosistema UniFi: dall’app store interno si possono installare diverse applicazioni per monitorare, configurare e gestire ogni aspetto della rete, dalle prestazioni Wi-Fi alla sicurezza fino al controllo dei dispositivi smart. È incredibile avere tutto sotto un unico pannello e a portata di cellulare con app native e perfettamente funzionanti e costantemente aggiornate (non è da tutti) La community Ubiquiti è enorme e molto attiva: guide, forum, aggiornamenti costanti e un supporto “dal basso” che rende il prodotto sempre vivo e migliorato nel tempo. Non sei mai solo nella gestione del tuo router. In più c’è la possibilità di integrare telecamere, access point e altri dispositivi UniFi senza complicazioni, creando una rete domestica o professionale completa, scalabile e sicura. In tutta sincerità, il livello è così alto che verrebbe da dire in modo sarcastico: gli ISP dovrebbero darlo per legge a tutti gli utenti, invece dei soliti router base che limitano le prestazioni delle connessioni moderne.

Fabulous product. Practically jumps out of the box and installs itself.!

Ich nutze den Ubiquiti Dream Router 7 erst seit wenigen Tagen, bin aber bereits sehr beeindruckt. Das Gerät überzeugt durch eine stabile und schnelle Verbindung – ideal für Streaming, Smart-Home-Geräte und Homeoffice-Anwendungen. Besonders gefällt mir die Kombination aus starker Performance, einfacher Einrichtung über die UniFi-App und dem modernen, kompakten Design. Es ist selten, dass ein Router technisch so ausgereift ist und dabei noch so hochwertig aussieht. Die Einrichtung erfordert ein gewisses technisches Grundverständnis, ist aber logisch aufgebaut und mit etwas Erfahrung problemlos machbar. Danach läuft alles zuverlässig und ohne Unterbrechungen. Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis ist meiner Meinung nach ausgezeichnet. Man bekommt ein sehr hübsches Produkt mit hervorragenden Features, das sowohl in Leistung als auch Design überzeugt – eine klare Empfehlung für alle, die mehr als nur Standard-WLAN wollen.

After having an Asus router fail (to be fair, their support eventually refunded my money as it was within warranty), I decided to look around. I understand what all the hullabaloo is about Ubiquiti devices now. The software interface is superb, and provides lots of a data about your network and the ability to tweak it. This is a great entry point into the Ubiquiti ecosystem. My only wish is that it had an extra port (or 5), but this is easily solvable with a UniFi Switch Flex Mini 2.5G, etc. Bonus: You can get/print a 3D model to turn it into R2-D2.
