I went with this high performance 9W Intel Alderlake/12th Gen quad core with 4x2.5GB Intel NICs:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C8J2R...b_ap_share

The entire case is a heatsink and it runs at around 41C. It takes one DDR5 SODIMM and any NVMe or SSD.

If you combine that with opnsense router Linux you've got a very nice machine.

Ugh 2.5 gbit ethernet and wan only. Google's 2gbit plan sucks (it's not symmetric, only 1 gbit up), Next decent plan up is 5 gbit, which is twice as much as this thing can handle. Wish the Dream Machine wasn't so bulky. Guess I'll wait a few years, it's not like I'm anywhere close to maxing out the 1gbit plan.

Same boat here. Took the plunge and upgraded my 2.5gb pfsense ali-express firewall to one with 10gb so I can try out 8gig gfiber. Even the dream Machine only does 3.5 with IPS/IDS enabled. Hoping my little i5 box can do line speed

Hot take, but I specifically avoid enterprise hardware because those are the most high-value targets. If you have all this expensive hardware, it's probably worth someone time to target you. Of course, you also get lots of tools to mitigate hacking attempts, but the high level Ubiquity hacks have made me wary.

Decided to pick one up after all, even though I'm going to stick with the 1gbps plan. But at least I can finally plug in my NAS now as well and get 2.5 gbps for my NAS Smilie

Oh and I printed this wall mount, fits this device perfectly as it has the exact same dimensions: https://www.printables.com/model/...-ultra-ucg

What about the Dream Router? it has 2 PoE ports.
Good point. Wish the UCG-Ultra had the POE too..

But UDR doesn't have Dual-WAN . That's a must-have for me (could be for everyone..)

It looks silly how UBNT have just thrown a bunch of mix and match features all around, and just picked them randomly into different products.

I'd have bought UDR or something like that with enough power (It's dual-core ARM vs UCG-Ultra which seems Quad-Core) at $199 , if it only had dual-wan. I'm sure Dual-Wan is just a Software feature, so they intentionally must've neutered it.

For a Gateway/Firewall one can't go wrong with PFsense/OPNsense, and everyone should experiment with it for their network.
But I'm just now moving away from Pfsense to having one system with Unifi, with UCG-Ultra (Dual-WAN) + 3 UI switches and 3 APs with several VLANs . It's really great to have one app/interface with works everywhere (and is quite capable and friendly). So far not missing PFsense, although PFsense can be guaranteed to have features you might ever need, and with Unifi you never know.. Even VPN server/client options are good (WireGuard, OpenVPN and "Teleport"), and the ability to map all the VLANs/SSIDs and networks and rules/routes between them is very neat and simple.

I think (finally) a full Unifi network including Gateway is a viable reality.

And Thankfully, no subscription/recurring fees yet, which would be a deal-killer (for me).
