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.

they are just turning people off at this point.
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
It's a $150 device more capable than most need. Most people don't have gigabit uplink, let alone an accidentally overprovisioned one. Additionally, as a managed device there's a lot more to it than the controller. It's a budget device and isn't going to be a good fit for everyone.
It looks great to me for family members that need network help. It's priced better than unmanaged devices and allows me to remotely connect and debug if they have issues without the security nightmare of publicly exposing the admin page common on most consumer routers.
