That's the issue with using fancy names for products rather than model numbers. I think it's also confusing to those new to the ecosystem. What next? UDM-SE Ultra Mega Pro Maximus?

Note sure the Pro Max if aimed at existing SE or Pro owners.
High availability is a rather expensive endeavour for home internet and not sure there is a huge need for raid 1 on protect cameras either. If you did need it, you probably have their dedicated NVR anyway.

It is not aimed at home users from the videos I've seen. Both have said large deployments and mentioned no PoE, 5Gbps throughput with IDS/IPS.
OS 4 Early Access has been released for Dream Machines.

Released for "Early Access"

Aye I'd give it at least a week and see the comments. Depends on how flexible you are rebuilding the console if issues.
WFH so I can't beta test!

Updated here, the only issue so far is dark mode has disappeared if accessing locally, apparently it will be added back in a future release.
I also work from home, you guys have no balls.
I take customer calls so I can't have odd drop outs. I do have UDM-P and Cloud Ultra so I could beta test on one but can't see any version 4 features that I would need at the moment.

Hi all,
For those with Sky FFTP and Sky Q who initially had issues, how have you got the Q boxes to stay connected to WiFi?
Got a UniFi Express, Sky Q 'main' box (tried Ethernet + WiFi disabled, and WiFi connection) and a handful of 'Mini' boxes (WiFi only, no network points near them) but i'm struggling with getting the Sky Q Mini boxes stable; they stay connected for 10/15 minutes then flake out and i'm having reboot everything to get it working again.
I've read creating a separate 2.4GHz SSID/network for SKY Q and disabling 5GHz on the 'Mini' boxes might work but just wondering if any one here knows of a definitive solution for them and UniFi gear?

@visibleman do you also have Sonos?
I have Sky Q with Sonos and it was a nightmare at times but I got it all stable in the end. But most issues were Sonos related, I never really had any issues with Sky (I used both wireless and wired).

im using unifi express for my wifi, sky boy stays connected now.
used to disconnect until i created separate 2.4ghz as you said you have done too.
how far is it from the express? may be a weak signal if its too far so it keeps dropping.

Cheers guys.
@ChrisD. - No Sonos but have got a few Apple Homepod's dotted around and iirc, they create their own network so perhaps it's a similar issue. Can you remember what you ended up doing with Sonos devices to resolve it all?
@ash888 - Haven't tried the separate SSID/network solution yet because as you can imagine, with the Q boxes falling over it's going down like a lead balloon with the rest of the household so reverted back to the Sky hub for the time being But will definitely give that whirl when i get a spare hour or so.
Did you end up disabling 5GHz on the Q boxes and are you connecting any of them to ethernet or is it all WiFi only? And have you noticed any issues with the Q boxes being connected to only 2.4GHz, like slow playback etc?
Signal is pretty good from what i can tell though, seems about on par with the Sky hub from quickly roaming the house when it was in.

Sorry, I can't. Someone wrote a guide on it a few years ago on the UI forums, I think that's what I found when I googled it.
