1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,279 It might not be the case everywhere, but in many major cities across the world, 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:14,080 faster than gigabit internet, 2.5 gig, 3 gig, 5 gig, 8 gig, 10 gigabit internet 3 00:00:10,719 --> 00:00:15,679 is becoming more common every day. And 4 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:19,439 frankly, there's just not a lot of options if you want a router that can 5 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:23,279 actually take advantage of those things. And maybe not just take advantage of it 6 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:28,560 on a router level with one 1 Gbit port, but take advantage of it for all your 7 00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:30,880 devices. Pass that 10 GB, 5 GB, however 8 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:34,640 faster than 1 GB internet you have to the rest of your network. And this new 9 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:40,079 product from Ubiquiti, the Cloud Gateway Fiber is supposed to do just that. And 10 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:44,000 you'll see what I mean in a second. A little bit bigger. This is the big 11 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:47,440 brother to their Cloud Gateway Max. Kind of looks like you took two Cloud Gateway 12 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:52,399 Maxes and glued them together. Maybe like 1.8 eight of them. We've also got a 13 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:56,960 power brick. This thing doesn't use USBC. That's interesting. It's just a DC 14 00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:02,719 barrel jack, but it does Oh, boy. This is a 54 volt 1.1 amp power brick. So, 15 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:06,880 that's around 60 watts max. And it just uses a normal barrel jack. Now, how long 16 00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:10,720 is this cable? I'm jumping the gun a little bit. We've got the Oh, see, 17 00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:13,520 there's an AC power cable. I like this a lot. See, some companies give you a 18 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:18,640 power brick like this, and it's got the prongs on it, and you go right into the wall, which sucks if you have 19 00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:22,720 applications that don't support that very well, and also doesn't make it very 20 00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:28,479 uh international friendly. This one, on the other hand, uses a C5 cable and a C6 21 00:01:25,759 --> 00:01:31,119 socket to allow you to Well, I mean, with this little cable, this looks like 22 00:01:29,759 --> 00:01:38,079 a little two-footer. Might be a little bit longer than that. Let's just measure it. So, we've 23 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:40,560 got a twoft AC to C5 cable. And then 24 00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:44,720 we've got our C6 power brick with another 5T on there. That gives you 25 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,520 around 7 ft of power cable, which is a fair bit. And if you for whatever 26 00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:51,759 reason, we're using this in like a server rack or something, which as you'll see in a minute here, you totally 27 00:01:50,399 --> 00:01:55,640 could. You could get a different cable and hook right up to your PDU or if you 28 00:01:53,600 --> 00:02:00,159 were in Europe or whatever. Yeah, easy peasy. We've got propaganda. Wait, 29 00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:06,399 there's two baggies of feet. Is there supposed to be two bags of feet? And then one of those cute ether lighting 30 00:02:04,719 --> 00:02:10,319 cables. I don't actually think that this thing has ether lighting, which if 31 00:02:07,759 --> 00:02:13,840 you're not familiar is RGB lighting on the uh the Ethernet ports of Ubiquiti 32 00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:19,360 products, some of them. Anyways, they've got these special cables that are translucent that help diffuse the RGB 33 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,640 and make it look cool. But these ones, not only are they shielded, but it 34 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:26,000 actually has sle to it, which looks pretty nice. Oh my god. This isn't a 35 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,920 drilling template. This template that came in the box is a template for 36 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:33,760 putting the feet on. It's not a drilling template. 37 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:37,040 Huh. I guess I I screwed up. I put the feet in the wrong spot. We've got the 38 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:42,800 signature ubiquity little screen on the front. This is a 0.96 in little display 39 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:45,840 there. And then on the bottom, the feet that I definitely applied in a 40 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:49,519 symmetrical manner. We've got some ventilation. And then on the back, 41 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:55,120 that's what you really want to see. Look at that. Starting on the left, we have a 42 00:02:52,160 --> 00:03:01,120 four port 2.5 GB switch right here. Look at that. That's beautiful. Lovely. 10 of 43 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:04,560 10. very happy to see that one of which 44 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:08,720 if you look really closely has PoE PoE 45 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:10,239 plus that is so not only do you have a 46 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,920 bunch of ports to use but one of them can be PoE plus so you can actually run 47 00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:20,239 an access point directly off this thing no switch required no PoE injector 48 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:23,200 that's sick also got another RJ45 this 49 00:03:20,239 --> 00:03:28,800 is a 10 Gbit one used as a WAN input in case you're not coming off of SFP we've 50 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,319 got another 10 Gbit SFP P plus port, 51 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:34,480 which is a LAN port. That's what I was saying earlier. You can pass your up to 52 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:38,040 10 GB internet connection through to another device or to a switch or 53 00:03:36,159 --> 00:03:44,000 whatever you want. And then we've got another SFP plus 10 GB port, but that is 54 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:47,440 a WAN port. Knowing Ubiquiti, you'll be able to reassign these, I'm sure. And I 55 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:51,040 bet you you can use this one as a LAN port, but we'll check that later. We've 56 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:54,560 got our DC barrel jack input here, and then a recessed reset button. I've been 57 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:59,840 seeing on some Ubiquiti products recently that they've been doing like a nice reset button on the bottom that 58 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:03,439 doesn't require a pokey bit to get into. Would have liked to see that here, but 59 00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:06,560 also this thing is just pretty baller. Now, all of this is pretty sick, but it 60 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:12,640 gets even sicker when we get to the price, which I'm not going to tell you yet because we still have to look at the 61 00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:14,879 other side, which has the storage. It's 62 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:19,280 got a little sneaky little little sneaky link on the side here, a little little 63 00:04:16,239 --> 00:04:21,359 little Porterino that you can put an M.2 64 00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:23,560 SSD in. Um, they don't actually include the tray. you have to buy that 65 00:04:22,479 --> 00:04:28,479 separately for $19. Um, but you can also buy it with 66 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:33,040 storage pre-installed either in a 1 TB or a 2 TB or with no storage at all. 67 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:36,800 Although given the fact that it has like the network configuration, I imagine 68 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:41,919 there is some amount of storage in here, it's just not enough to run like 69 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:44,160 security cameras or UniFi Talk, which is 70 00:04:41,919 --> 00:04:46,800 their voiceover IP phone solution, or connect or anything like that. And 71 00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:50,800 that's important because this thing can run all of those things at the same 72 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:54,720 time, including being a router and doing your networking. So, why don't we plug 73 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:58,240 it in and see? I don't actually know if this one came with storage to be honest. 74 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:04,960 They only sell up to two TB and only rate it for up to two TB, but you can 75 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:06,240 get 8 TB M.2 SSDs. So, in theory, you 76 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:10,000 could put 8 TB of storage in here. It's not as much as you can put in a Dream Machine Pro, which has a hard drive 77 00:05:08,479 --> 00:05:13,759 port. You put like 30 terabytes in there these days, but 8 terabytes is a lot, 78 00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:17,639 especially if you're, you know, only got a couple cameras or whatever. So, let's 79 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:22,000 plug this bang girl in here. Can you guys guess what's on the 80 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:27,440 screen right now? I I think it's going to be Ubiquity logo. I wonder if it auto 81 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:31,199 rotates. Damn it, it's just our sponsor. Thanks to Vessie for sponsoring this 82 00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:35,680 video.

So, it's a great time to pick up a commuter backpack, a precision 93 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:20,319 screwdriver, or a stylish framework hoodie. Oh, I took it off to put on this 94 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:24,400 jacket. The point is, we've also got never-before-seen pricing on our MCM 95 00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:27,759 Essentials bundle. Don't miss it. We'll have it linked down below. This is the 96 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:31,080 little metal dad lock tool I'm talking about. You take this and you do a little 97 00:06:29,919 --> 00:06:36,000 Oh, yeah. Hey, look at that. Again, just 98 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:42,560 like on the Gateway Max, I really don't love that this port is not useful for 99 00:06:39,919 --> 00:06:46,720 normies unless you buy that $19 tray or you buy it with storage. You can't throw 100 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:51,199 your own M.2 SSD in here if you buy it with no storage. You have to buy the tray. You can 3D print models. I've 101 00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:55,440 already seen people make models for this, but come on, Ubiquiti. Like, it's 102 00:06:52,960 --> 00:07:01,039 got to be like a $1 part to make. Like, just include it in the box. What the 103 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:02,880 heck, guys? Oh, there's a fan in there. 104 00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:05,280 Oh, yeah. You hear the air? Yeah. So, it's not just passive. It's got a little 105 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:11,360 got a little fan in there. It's incredibly quiet. Look at that cloud 106 00:07:07,919 --> 00:07:13,360 gateway fiber tap to set up. Damn, look 107 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:20,160 at those internet speeds. Internally, it's a quad core ARMbased A73 processor 108 00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:21,520 clocking up to 2.2 GHz. It's got 3 GB of 109 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:26,080 RAM. They don't list the internal storage because I imagine it's not very 110 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:32,319 much. And you also have that M.2 slot. Has a 30 W PoE budget of output power 111 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:35,039 for PoE Plus. and it can draw a max 112 00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:38,479 power consumption of 29.4 watts excluding PoE. Let me switch over to the 113 00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:43,520 laptop and we'll continue from there. I got this Sonet Tech Solo 10G 10 GB to 114 00:07:41,759 --> 00:07:47,680 Thunderbolt adapter here for my laptop so we can do some speed tests at full 115 00:07:45,599 --> 00:07:52,240 speed. Let's take a look at this thing. She looks mint there, buddy. So, I've 116 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:54,639 got our SFP port using a little SFP to 117 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:59,440 RJ45 adapter. That's our internet coming in. And then I'm using the other one 118 00:07:56,879 --> 00:08:03,120 that is also labeled as a WAN port as a LAN port because I adjusted the 119 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:06,520 configuration and it just worked. Sick. So that's plugging in our laptop here. 120 00:08:04,639 --> 00:08:11,199 Let me turn the Wi-Fi off. And then there we go. Lovely. Okay, 121 00:08:09,919 --> 00:08:15,280 look at this. We got open speed test running that is on a device that is on 122 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:19,039 this network. And if we just we just hit it with some gas here. In theory, this 123 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:23,280 should be able to saturate pretty dang close to 10 GB. Uh the port that it's on 124 00:08:21,599 --> 00:08:26,479 on the other side technically does have some other things running on it. So, I 125 00:08:25,039 --> 00:08:32,640 wouldn't be surprised if it's more like 9 or 8, but we should get really close. 126 00:08:29,599 --> 00:08:35,800 8 gig down, 9.7 up. I mean, that's 127 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:39,360 basically what I expected. 9 gig. Come 128 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:41,200 on, give it to me. I mean, it's pretty 129 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:44,880 clear to me that this thing can route at 10 GB, like pretty much without any 130 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:49,360 issues. I mean, there's always going to be a little bit of overhead and realistically, who knows what's going on 131 00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:52,480 in this Thunderbolt dock. And like I said, the port on the other side could 132 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:58,080 also be doing some other stuff. But we did successfully do a 9 gigabit download 133 00:08:54,640 --> 00:09:00,080 test and a 9.7 almost 9.8 gigabit upload 134 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:04,080 test. So, as far as I'm concerned, this thing can do what it says it can do. 135 00:09:01,839 --> 00:09:07,360 This thing can handle a full 10 GB internet connection. Just doing a speed 136 00:09:05,839 --> 00:09:11,040 test over the internet, no problem. And it also can do, if you're into it and 137 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:15,760 you have some network security stuff, IPS and IDS up to 5 GB as per the 138 00:09:13,839 --> 00:09:19,839 rating. They also rate it for 50 plus UniFi devices under management. That 139 00:09:17,519 --> 00:09:25,360 could be like 20 switches and 20 access points and still have 10 plus to spare 140 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:27,600 and 500 plus active clients connected. That means you could have a ton of 141 00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:31,600 different people on the network running off this tiny little device which 142 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:36,560 honestly is still barely even getting warm. All righty. Look at this here, 143 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:40,399 boys and girls. In this little stack I got here, I got a cloud gateway fiber, 144 00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:43,920 our 10 GB router here running all of our UniFi apps. I got a little camera 145 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:46,880 plugged in directly into the PoE port. So that's being powered off of it. You 146 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:51,279 can see she's right there. And then we've got the new UniFi Express 7, which 147 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:54,399 is like an all-in-one access point gateway kind of device, but it doesn't 148 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,440 do all the other apps. I'm using it as an access point because I didn't have an 149 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:00,959 access point over here, but I did have this. We'll have a video on this soon. 150 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,800 We go back to our network device here. We can see our Cloud Gateway Max rocks 151 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:09,120 here working great. Everything's great. We got our camera adopted. We've got our 152 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:12,160 Express 7 access point adopted. So, we've got a Wi-Fi network going off of 153 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:16,399 that. We've got this going off that. I have IDS and IPS, which is intrusion 154 00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:19,519 detection and intrusion prevention, which if you're not familiar, they're 155 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:23,839 just security features you can use to analyze the traffic on your network and 156 00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:27,279 try to block threats at a network level. They're not always the most effective, 157 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:31,680 to be honest. Um, there are usually better ways of doing that, like endpoint 158 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:35,040 protection, but it is part of a security stack that you definitely can use and 159 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:40,320 these devices can run. And in theory, this one can run it at 5 GB, it says. 160 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:46,240 So, I want to run a little another speed test here. 7 gigabit download with IPS 161 00:10:44,399 --> 00:10:54,560 and IDS turned on and in the most maximum annoying blockage hardcore uh 162 00:10:50,240 --> 00:11:00,079 mode. Look at that. 9.7 9 I'm getting 163 00:10:54,560 --> 00:11:01,920 full 10 GB upload and like 6.5 to 7 GB 164 00:11:00,079 --> 00:11:04,959 download with it fully on even though they only rate it for 5 GB. So, if 165 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:10,959 you're looking for something that can do IPS and IDS, even with a 5 GB internet 166 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:15,360 connection, even with a I guess a 7 GB Ethernet connection, this can do it. And 167 00:11:13,519 --> 00:11:19,120 that's not even like with it not doing anything. We have this security camera 168 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:23,440 running off of it. Hey, go. Hey. But man, this thing is a freaking tank. You 169 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:27,920 can have multiple WANs, load balance them, fail them over. In my mind, this 170 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:34,480 thing, if you don't need a hard drive slot, for basically everyone, just 171 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:38,160 slaughters the base Ubiquiti Dream Machine, which is more expensive. If we 172 00:11:36,399 --> 00:11:41,880 go to Ubiquiti's website and look under cloud gateways, the cloud gateway fiber 173 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:48,720 is $280 and can handle a full 10 GB routing 174 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:51,279 setup and IPS and IDs up to 5 GB for 280 175 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:56,000 bucks. If we look at the Dream Machine Pro, it's $380. There's another hundred 176 00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:00,240 bucks on top. It is rated for a bit more. In theory, it can do a,000 177 00:11:57,839 --> 00:12:05,680 simultaneous users and 100 plus devices, which is double what this is in theory 178 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:07,920 rated for, but it has lower IDS and IPS 179 00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:12,240 throughput. It's only rated for 3.5 GB. It also has a hard drive slot, but it 180 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:15,680 doesn't have PoE output. Honestly, for most people's use cases, especially if 181 00:12:14,079 --> 00:12:20,720 you're going to have a Switch anyways, or especially if you have an NVR, this 182 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:25,360 thing freaking kills. I mean, dang, it kind of speaks for itself. If you're 183 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:27,760 somebody that has above 1 GB internet 184 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:31,600 and you have discrete other devices already, like you already have access 185 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:34,560 points or you already have an NVR. I mean, honestly, even if you don't have 186 00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:37,839 an MVR, you only need a few cameras, you already have a Switch if you need more 187 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:41,839 than four ports, like it honestly slays. The only things I could really think I 188 00:12:40,399 --> 00:12:45,519 would want is like a rack mount accessory for it. So, you could rack 189 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:50,000 mount two of these maybe high availability setup, you know? or uh a 190 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:53,440 USB port so you could have external storage like an external hard drive if 191 00:12:51,839 --> 00:12:57,360 you wanted to run protect. Now I know they don't do that because a it has an 192 00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:00,880 M.2 but there's capacity limitations there and B because I don't want to 193 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:06,959 fully cannibalize the Dream Machine lineup but man this thing this thing is 194 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:12,639 pretty sick. is making me regret my my decision to build a DIY router cuz for 195 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:17,680 $279 USD you you're going to have a really hard time building a router that 196 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:20,639 can do 10 Gbit. I don't even know if it's possible honestly. But you know 197 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:24,240 what is possible? Hitting the like button and leaving a comment about what 198 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:28,320 you think about this thing. I don't know that they have high availability for 199 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:32,399 these yet. I'd have to check. But once they do, man, these 200 00:13:29,959 --> 00:13:35,839 things, even when they don't, like small business, this thing slays.
