Had the Gateway Ultra delivered yesterday and set it last night. Its a nice little form factor, sits on my desk easily and powered from a USB adaptor. Easy to transfer from the UDR and restored the network config, re-adopted the AP's and configured the new U6-Mesh and was up and running very quickly. UI is very quick, haven't managed to overload it yet, unlike the UDR and everything seems to be very stable. Running multiple isolated networks and all seems to be working perfectly.

I ordered an express for a family member, hopefully it'll be sufficient to replace Virgin and allow her to manage the kids connections. Appreciate there isn't content control outside of the DNS filtering from the upstream DNS.

Will look at a FlexHD / U6-Mesh from the 2nd hand market potentially / loan my FlexHD, maybe even a UK-Ultra

I found when I had the express the UI was at times incredibly slow, it improved with software updates but pages were not responsive. As an AP it worked great and had good coverage and was easily to hide away due to the form factor, but as a gateway as well, it was a little under powered, much worse than the UDR.
 
Urgh. I’d been reading UDM, not UDR, apologies! Yes, it would be nice to have something not rack mount which is at least 2.5 GbE or even 10 GbE non rack mountable (which isn’t the wall!).

I imagine its only a matter of time, FTTP speeds greater than 1Gb are soon going to be available more widely. Had 1.6Gb available here for some time not ready to pay £70 a month for it though.
 
We're a networking company that make nothing that will do BGP, but if you're managing an apartment building then do we have a product for you
 
Sorry for bombarding you all with so many questions recently.

DNS in Unifi, which takes priority?
Network/Settings/Security/DNS Shield
Network/Settings/LAN or VLAN)/DHCP Service Management/DNS Server
Network/Settings/Internet/DNS Server.

I find it very confusing that there seems to be three places to set it.
 
Well, it depends. :)

Internet is where you tell the gateway what to you.
DHCP is to tell the clients using DHCP what to you. You could use a local Adguard Home device here as an example.
DNS shield is their own DNS security, the info is in release notes. Etc

So what ever is set in Internet or the DNS shield section is what's used for all outbound stuff?

So for the DHCP if I leave it to auto will that use the WAN DNS? Or should I manually set the gateway as DNS?
