I sometimes missed the UI from the Edgerouter X when I was trying to tame the Mikrotik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preparing my network for faster internet speeds, I looked at the market for routers and  the Unifiy Dream Machine Pro from Ubiquiti caught my attention.

I can now block devices from within node-red flows.<\/li><li>It is silent.<\/li><li>It can be run without the cloud&#8230; but only after the first setup.<\/li><li>It has an nice community and many github projects extending the possibilities.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What should be improoved:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>ntp server only available with hacks.<\/li><li>There is a new and an old UI. You can&#8217;t find all the functions you need in either of them and have to switch often.<\/li><li>Transfering static DHCP IP was a pain, as I had to manually do it. I wish I could import a CSV-file.<\/li><li>If you do use products from other vendors, the UI doesn&#8217;t show the correct information about ports and speeds. You can&#8217;t correct them manually.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The next two weeks will show, if I will stay with the Dream Machine Pro or switch  back to the Mikrotik Router.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Better than my Mikrotik RB4011iGS+RM?
