Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Router 7 review

Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Router 7 packs more networking than any other router here at its price, but it asks more of the owner. Ubiquiti's spec sheet lists Wi-Fi 7 with 2x2 radios on all three bands, rated 5.7 Gbps on 6 GHz and 4.3 Gbps on 5 GHz. Wired ports are four 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports, one with PoE, plus a 10G SFP+ port, and it can run up to 4 WAN ports with load balancing. Security goes past consumer routers: a zone-based and application-aware firewall, DPI, content filtering, ad blocking and IDS/IPS at up to 2.3 Gbps. A pre-installed 64GB microSD card lets it record UniFi Protect cameras. The catch is coverage of 1,750 sq. ft. and an app built for people who like settings. The Ubiquiti US Store showed $279.00, or $307.00 with its surcharge, when we checked. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test the router ourselves.
