Deal Details
these were just released today and Ubiquiti is doing a good job of bringing them in and out of stock, if you want to buy one directly from Ubiquiti they are in stock right now. I think it's a pretty slick deal to have this device for less than $150. posting this because I know a lot of people have alerts and they may not even know this device was released today, I know I didn't.

Is this just a router with the UniFi ecosystem?

Basically. I haven't read into them yet, but right off the bat I'm wondering how these differ from the Dream Routers and why those are $50 more. Is it just for the built in POE switch ports?!

Exactly my thoughts. I was about to buy a Dream Router, might wait to see what this does differently.

This is really for situations where you just need a small deployment - think VPN for work from home, POS deployment, remote building, and also for an ISP that wants an all in one solution for clients.

60 client max
1 Ethernet port on the back with no PoE. Not 4 like a typical router.
Gigabit Ethernet in (not 2.5gb) (many gigabit plans overprovision and you get 1.2 gigabits instead of 940 megabits using a 2.5gb port - 21% more internets for free!!

Make sure it is a good fit for you because a lot of homes I do tech help in have a Roku or smart TV or desktop or ip phone dongle or some combo of those so you need a switch or to buy something better right off the bat if you want a hard wired AP on the other side of the house.

This is good for apartments IMO

That and I'm going to put one at my parents house so I can manage their Network. Those are the two best use cases I can think of for this.

From what I have gathered so far, this UniFi Express is basically having controller and uxg lite combined minus the IDS/IDP functionality but plus Wifi 6 AP. It's a dual band 2x2 wifi 6 AP so likely similar in performance to U6+. The UDR has U6 LR AP, two POE ports, and can run additional application like Protect and Talk with the built in controller.

Per Reddit, you're better off with a GL.net router that supports portal logins that most hotels have.
