But if you think you'll want more/higher quality ui cameras than what it can support, then you'd have to look at splitting the gateway and access point(s)
Ubiquiti is very much like Apple - they have an ecosystem that plays nice with each other, so you can manage everything from the same place, versus having to manage each part of your network individually. You do pay up front for that convenience though.
Community Reviews
The UniFi Dream Router 7 is a compact all in one gateway that stands out for easy management, Wi Fi 7, and a built in PoE port, making it a strong entry into the UniFi ecosystem. It is praised for stable wired performance, simple VPN access, and room to grow with access points, cameras, and other UniFi gear without a subscription. Coverage is solid for smaller to mid sized homes, but range can trail stronger Asus or mesh setups, and larger homes may need extra wired access points. It also has a learning curve and limited camera capacity, so it fits best when you want UniFi control in a modest setup.
Common Questions (5)
It is a strong home all-in-one if you want UniFi's controller, VPN, VLAN, camera, and ecosystem features in one box. It is less compelling if you only need basic routing and Wi‑Fi, or if you already have a solid router and do not plan to expand into UniFi gear.
It is reported to cover about a 2,500 sq ft home, but UniFi's design philosophy is "more, better placed" rather than maximum radio power. For larger homes, adding a wired access point at the opposite end can improve coverage and total bandwidth.
If you already have APs, the Cloud Gateway Fiber is the better fit because the Dream Router 7 includes its own Wi‑Fi 7 AP. If you already use an NVR, the Cloud Gateway Fiber plus a separate AP is also a cleaner setup than relying on the UDR7 alone.
The UDR7 includes a Wi‑Fi 7 AP and one PoE port, while the Cloud Gateway Max uses an M.2 SSD instead of microSD storage and has a slightly stronger processor with support for more connections and cameras. The Max is the better pick for camera-heavy setups; the UDR7 is the simpler all-in-one option.
Yes. A UniFi access point can be temporarily plugged into the UDR7's PoE port for setup, then moved to its final location and powered with a PoE injector to join the network as mesh.

I'll wait a bit, even though this is a good deal.
would this and a couple of inwall APs work?

House has multiple cat5e drops on each floor.
Or should I just go w a newer Orbi /TP link mesh system. Thanks for advice !

All the IT networking nerds at work circle jerk each other over ubiquiti saying it's the best thing ever, i'll take their word for it. but looking more into the site, it's insane how much you can scale a home network to. cameras, NAS, door locks, door bells, all without a subscription? I might join in with them
For home use, they are fine. The cult of Unifi tends to be pro-sumer people who like the level of control Unifi equipment gives users, like VLANs, granular radio controls, etc.
Source: I've been in IT for 20 years, and not one of the "networking nerds" I work with actually likes Unifi/Ubiquiti. Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Ruckus and Arista all have a better reputation, and make real enterprise equipment.
But I digress. This Dream Machine is fine for home use. It's definitely a step up from most TP-Link PRC spying equipment. It's an all-in-one solution that gives you lots of remote control / DVR features, which is neat for the low cost.
It also has a very easy VPN which allows you to route all your traffic, from your cell phone or at a public coffee shop, through your home connection. Basically your data goes from your device, through the Internet to your home via an encrypted connection. This is useful if you want to connect to shared drives on your network like a NAS without having to expose your shares to the Internet.
As someone else mentioned if you want to eventually expand our and add cameras to this, because it can also act as a video recorder, it might not handle multiple 2k cameras. So if you think you want to eventually add 3-5 cameras look at one of their other products.
