Out of the box, it had a boot loop problem that following Ubiquiti's instructions was not able to be solved. I was able to get it boot and actually install several updates after a reset, but ultimately I was never actually get in to perform any kind of management of the device.
Another issue I have is the only ports capable of >1gbe were 10/11, which required you to purchase a separate sfp+ module. To me, this limits growth of this device as more consumer products are coming with 2.5gbe built in.
As it is, when I placed this between my Orbi and 2gbps fiber line my speeds decreased wirelessly from ~1300mbps to ~9xxmbps.

But something to remember, consumer devices make you think max speed to one device is good. These prosumer devices are about total throughput so multiple devices can handle the bandwidth. I've found that Unifi doesn't allow any one device to use up all available bandwidth, and that's a good thing (just not if you're doing a bunch of speedtests)
Why can't this have at least ONE POE port god dammit!?
I've considered switching to a dream machine just for simplicity, and because I know when the EdgeRouter fails eventually I'm going to be out of luck for a couple of weeks failing back to some junk I have around.
Any opinions on whether I should upgrade now or just wait for a sale on the next gen?
Edit: I have my own NVR, and other than a single pane of glass and the IPS, I really will only use the firewall/router/switch functionality.
