The Ubiquiti 8-Port Flex 2.5G PoE switch, model USW-Flex-2.5G-8-PoE, is unlike any other switch I’ve used, and I’ve used many over the years. At first glance, it resembles a mini version of the Enterprise 8 PoE. You sure can use it as such, but that’s when you’d realize its compact … Continue Reading
On December 2, 2024, Ubiquiti unveiled its much-anticipated top-tier Enterprise Wi-Fi 7 access point, the UniFi E7. It’s the company’s Wi-Fi 7 AP of the enterprise tier. If you think the E7 is an upgrade to the U7 Pro Max, you’re not wrong—the two belong to the same UniFi ecosystem. … Continue Reading
If you want a UniFi console but are taken aback by the UDM-SE or the UDM-Pro Max‘s sizeable rack-mount physical appearance, the UniFi Cloud Gateway Max (UCG-Max) is the answer.

I generally cover consumer products, and this advanced device is designed for prosumers, SMBs, or even enterprise environments. The UDM-SE was released in early 2022, around the time of the home-friendly UniFi Dream Router … Continue Reading
In more ways than one, the Ubiquiti Switch Enterprise 8 PoE (model USW-Enterprise-8-PoE)—what an odd name!—is a lesser alternative to the Zyxel XS1930-12HP. It has fewer ports, a lower Multi-Gig grade, and a less powerful PoE standard. In return, it costs half the price. At less than $500, this is … Continue Reading
At $290, Ubiquiti’s U6 Enterprise is easily one of the best Wi-Fi 6E access points (APs) you can get. As the name suggests, this is a serious business AP designed to work with a UniFi controller, like the UDR or UDM. But it can also work as a standalone access … Continue Reading
