What one Redditor said

The UDR7 is capable of 2.3Gbps with IDS/IPS enabled so should easily handle your internet speeds with these services enabled.

Night and day difference in features

Somewhere I’ve read that UniFi won’t support the ds-lite that is common in Germany... The easiest way would be to put some cheap FRITZ!box in front of the UDR.

Go to Configuration > Internet > Manage (WAN1), switch to "Manual", then head to "IPv6 Configuration" and select "SLAAC". After that you can pick "IPv4 over IPv6". Once that's done, the "DS-Lite over

I sent the vigor 167 back because i couldn't get it running. But I ordered a fritzbox which now handles all the internet provider stuff and the UDR 7 is doing the internal network thing.

I don't recall all of the features of a circa 2020 Dream Machine, but switching to a UDR 7 may be a downgrade.

r/UNIFIpositive2

I got an UDR7 earlier this year and I’m very happy with it. ... The uplink to the main switch is 10 Gig with a direct attach cable.

r/UNIFIneutral2

It suddenly failed yesterday after 5+ years of reliable service, and I'm without internet while I wait for the UDR7 replacement.

r/UNIFIpositive1

I'm very happy with it. One thing I noticed is that I'm able to get my full ISP speed now because the UDM was limiting my download speed to about 780 Mbps.

r/UNIFIpositive1

By the way, when you receive the UDR-7, the restore process is painless. ... it allows you to restore to the last backup point on your UDM and then adopts all your APs and other connected devices.

If you are still interested and people haven’t convinced you otherwise, I have a UDR7 for sale on /r/hardwareswap

r/UNIFIneutral1

I just did the same but I went for the cloud gateway fiber. Pleased so far

r/HomeNetworkingpositive1

I have to say that switching to Maximum Speed already bumped it up a little while sitting close to the router.

Second, the WiFi signal pattern isn't as good as a ceiling-mount AP. Some energy is directed upwards (to provide better signal to an upper floor) rather than being more directed outwards with APs.

Purchase the Unifi express 7 and mesh it with the UDR7. By default, the express 7 adopts as an Access point right out of the box. It even has a single Ethernet port for a hard wired device.

r/HomeNetworkingpositive1

It seems I managed to turn ISP router into Bridge WAN and authenticate in UDR with PPPoE. ... That, plus setting the wifi speeds to Max speed resulted with 511/100 speeds while sitting close to the UD
