Yes, it’s super easy. When you set up the UDM it will ask for your connection type. Select PPPoE and enter your Username and password. Hit enter and it will connect. Eventually! It might take 20 minutes the first time but just be patient.

Excellent, didnt expect it to be that easy. With us working from home now we can't risk Internet issues.

Also, where do people recommend to buy Ubiquiti equipment from, it seems the eu.store.ui.com is around £40 cheaper if i've converted from euros corrected but no EU plug. Where can i buy a UK plug or should i buy from somewhere else?
 
What are you looking to buy? The switches use either a 3-pin cloverleaf plug or a standard 3-pin kettle lead. They’re about £1.50 from Amazon. The UDM uses a two-pin figure of eight plug. Again, about £1.50 from Amazon. The UAP-FlexHD use the 3-pin cloverleaf for their PoE injectors assuming you don’t buy a UniFi PoE switch.
 
@WJA96 ah that’s great, thanks for clarifying. I’m thinking of picking up an 8-port managed Ubiquiti switch with PoE anyway for my access points. So I might use this to connect my other switches to which will give me the VLAN separation I want.

@Dan_P I have recently set up a UDM with a PPPoE connection. When you go through the setup you’ll eventually get to the WAN configuration. Cancel the initial set up and click on the Advanced option. Here you can change your WAN connection type to PPPoE and I out the creds you’ve been provided with. I also had to restart my modem as my UDM didn’t seem to register the connection at first.

I purchased a white IEC C7 plug from the rainforest store, cost £6.
 
@Dan_P I've just moved over to the UDM and ot was quick and easy to setup. I'd recommend doing in the evening rather than during the day as I spent hours looking through the settings after it was up and running.

I purchased via a UK reseller as it wasn't much more and received it next day, also makes for easy returns if there is an issue
 
Been a long time coming but finally upgraded to fttp

Through my USG, and up from 50/15Mbps, that aint to shabby.
 
I think the more concerning thing is that it works on the UXG-Pro but not the UDM-Pro or USG models. So I suspect that soon there will be only one UniFi router line and it’ll be the one with an X in it.
 
I’m wanting to upgrade my setup at home. I have an older house a few dead spots plus a large garden I’d like to cover. The house is over 4 floors.
I have a range of powerline adapters that get me Ethernet to the pc and DVR etc - neither of which are in the same room as the router. I’m currently on sky fibre and ditched sky mesh as it just didn’t work. Could anyone recommend a system build that would get me on the right track?
 
Does anyone know how I can force this to update:

Its still got the speed from my old bt connection, despite me running speed tests a few times, so whilst I'm downloading at ~700MBps it thinks I'm maxed out. I feel like its a static setting somewhere but since they moved the UI around blown if I can find it.

Yep, I agree with you. The UDM-Pro can't be long for this world and the USG range has been long enough without a feature update that I'm positive it'll be UXG (and UDM) moving forwards.

Really? I liked the look of the UDM Pro, was sort of hoping to upgrade my USG to it. Guess I'll steer clear if thats the case!

I haven't seen the setting in the new settings (I don't use the new settings, I think they're awful). Go to settings -> system settings -> untick 'new settings' then go to settings -> site then provider capabilities.

Yep. There's no way I'd buy a UDM-Pro. There was potential for it to be a good product but it really hasn't been. I find my USG-3P does the job fine for me (on 900Mbps FTTP) so will only replace it when it dies. If I had to replace it now I'd go for a UDM over a UDM-Pro.
 
Yeah I'm currently very happy with ~800Mbps on my supposedly 500/500 package, my usg is old now but I suppose if it aint broke, don't fix it! At some point, knowing Ubiquiti, they'll stop releasing updates for it and I'll then need to see thats around.

Cheers, that did the trick. I wasn't aware I'd enabled the new settings :p.

I believe they're already stopped feature updates but should, in theory, still be releasing security updates.
