my UniFi Network is Completely Overkill

So, I pulled up my rack here because So, I pulled up my rack here because today what we're going to be doing is today what we're going to be doing is today what we're going to be doing is talking about UniFi. While part of me talking about UniFi. While part of me talking about UniFi. While part of me deep in my heart wishes I went and did deep in my heart wishes I went and did deep in my heart wishes I went and did something a little more do-it-yourself, something a little more do-it-yourself, something a little more do-it-yourself, something like throwing OpenSense or something like throwing OpenSense or something like throwing OpenSense or what is it WRT on custom hardware, I what is it WRT on custom hardware, I what is it WRT on custom hardware, I ended up with this primarily because it ended up with this primarily because it ended up with this primarily because it works really good, the interface is works really good, the interface is works really good, the interface is awesome, and everything is just so awesome, and everything is just so awesome, and everything is just so seamless when it comes to working with seamless when it comes to working with seamless when it comes to working with each other. I was using Omada stuff, each other. I was using Omada stuff, each other. I was using Omada stuff, TP-Link Omada stuff for quite a while TP-Link Omada stuff for quite a while TP-Link Omada stuff for quite a while and for a more budget-friendly option if and for a more budget-friendly option if and for a more budget-friendly option if you're not wanting to build out you're not wanting to build out you're not wanting to build out something absolutely crazy like this, something absolutely crazy like this, something absolutely crazy like this, let's say you maybe have 10 to 20 let's say you maybe have 10 to 20 let's say you maybe have 10 to 20 hardwired devices and you don't need hardwired devices and you don't need hardwired devices and you don't need anything too crazy, Omada is probably anything too crazy, Omada is probably anything too crazy, Omada is probably the best bet when it comes to overall the best bet when it comes to overall the best bet when it comes to overall budget-friendliness. This right here is budget-friendliness. This right here is budget-friendliness. This right here is not budget-friendly in the slightest. not budget-friendly in the slightest. not budget-friendly in the slightest.

So, starting here, mentioned down below. So, starting here, mentioned down below. So, starting here, this is my rack. This is the home base this is my rack. This is the home base this is my rack. This is the home base for just about everything that I do kind for just about everything that I do kind for just about everything that I do kind of here on the channel and anything to of here on the channel and anything to of here on the channel and anything to do with tech. This is the mothership. do with tech. This is the mothership. do with tech. This is the mothership. This guy right here, this is the brains This guy right here, this is the brains This guy right here, this is the brains of the operation. This is the UniFi of the operation. This is the UniFi of the operation. This is the UniFi Dream Machine Pro Max, and it's doing a Dream Machine Pro Max, and it's doing a Dream Machine Pro Max, and it's doing a lot. It is my router, my gateway, my NVR lot. It is my router, my gateway, my NVR lot. It is my router, my gateway, my NVR for UniFi Protect, which I don't quite for UniFi Protect, which I don't quite for UniFi Protect, which I don't quite use yet. We'll get into that. This right use yet. We'll get into that. This right use yet. We'll get into that. This right here is basically the entire ecosystem. here is basically the entire ecosystem. here is basically the entire ecosystem. This is nice cuz it has two hard drive This is nice cuz it has two hard drive This is nice cuz it has two hard drive bays right here for UniFi Protect, which bays right here for UniFi Protect, which bays right here for UniFi Protect, which if you're unaware is their NVR solution. if you're unaware is their NVR solution. if you're unaware is their NVR solution. It really only works well with UniFi It really only works well with UniFi It really only works well with UniFi cameras. I do have a couple Reolink cameras. I do have a couple Reolink cameras. I do have a couple Reolink devices integrated into it. They They devices integrated into it. They They devices integrated into it. They They can basically just record 24/7, and can basically just record 24/7, and can basically just record 24/7, and that's about it. live in an area with 10 that's about it. live in an area with 10 that's about it. live in an area with 10 gig speeds, but I am utilizing all these gig speeds, but I am utilizing all these gig speeds, but I am utilizing all these SFP ports. They're all connected SFP ports. They're all connected SFP ports. They're all connected together, and I do have 2.5 internet together, and I do have 2.5 internet together, and I do have 2.5 internet speeds. It's just standard Comcast, speeds. It's just standard Comcast, speeds. It's just standard Comcast, unfortunately, and that is connected in unfortunately, and that is connected in unfortunately, and that is connected in right here through this little patch right here through this little patch right here through this little patch panel thing. I have to have an Xfinity panel thing. I have to have an Xfinity panel thing. I have to have an Xfinity modem, but it's in the garage in bridge modem, but it's in the garage in bridge modem, but it's in the garage in bridge mode, so it's like it doesn't even mode, so it's like it doesn't even mode, so it's like it doesn't even exist. Now, the reason I want this one, exist. Now, the reason I want this one, exist. Now, the reason I want this one, the Pro Max or whatever instead of the the Pro Max or whatever instead of the the Pro Max or whatever instead of the standard one, mostly is for the extra standard one, mostly is for the extra standard one, mostly is for the extra hard drive storage here cuz I do plan on hard drive storage here cuz I do plan on hard drive storage here cuz I do plan on once I move out of this place using once I move out of this place using once I move out of this place using UniFi Protect on a more permanent basis.

UniFi Protect on a more permanent basis. UniFi Protect on a more permanent basis. If you don't need the two bays, the If you don't need the two bays, the If you don't need the two bays, the standard Dream Machine is probably going standard Dream Machine is probably going standard Dream Machine is probably going to be more than enough for you. And if to be more than enough for you. And if to be more than enough for you. And if you don't have as much craziness as I you don't have as much craziness as I you don't have as much craziness as I got going on, there are other much more got going on, there are other much more got going on, there are other much more budget-friendly options that you could budget-friendly options that you could budget-friendly options that you could throw in like a throw in like a throw in like a mini rack that look awesome. There's a mini rack that look awesome. There's a mini rack that look awesome. There's a couple Tekno Tim videos that he kind of couple Tekno Tim videos that he kind of couple Tekno Tim videos that he kind of shows that off and they're pretty cool. shows that off and they're pretty cool. shows that off and they're pretty cool. I'll link to those down below. Now, the I'll link to those down below. Now, the I'll link to those down below. Now, the next one and this one in my network's next one and this one in my network's next one and this one in my network's current state is completely unnecessary. current state is completely unnecessary. current state is completely unnecessary. The only reason I got this is for The only reason I got this is for The only reason I got this is for upgradeability in the hope that someday upgradeability in the hope that someday upgradeability in the hope that someday I'll have a good fiber internet option I'll have a good fiber internet option I'll have a good fiber internet option available to me. available to me. available to me. Basically, this stack here hopefully Basically, this stack here hopefully Basically, this stack here hopefully isn't going to change for like 10-15 isn't going to change for like 10-15 isn't going to change for like 10-15 years if all goes according to plan. years if all goes according to plan. years if all goes according to plan. This is the USW Pro XG 10 PoE. This is This is the USW Pro XG 10 PoE. This is This is the USW Pro XG 10 PoE. This is the fast lane. This whole thing, all 10 the fast lane. This whole thing, all 10 the fast lane. This whole thing, all 10 PoE ports have 10 gigabit capabilities. PoE ports have 10 gigabit capabilities. PoE ports have 10 gigabit capabilities. Which the only time I really used this Which the only time I really used this Which the only time I really used this at this point to my benefit was I was at this point to my benefit was I was at this point to my benefit was I was doing a huge file transfer my entire doing a huge file transfer my entire doing a huge file transfer my entire media library, like 20 terabytes, from media library, like 20 terabytes, from media library, like 20 terabytes, from one machine to another. I had to plug in one machine to another. I had to plug in one machine to another. I had to plug in 10 gig network cards to each one just to 10 gig network cards to each one just to 10 gig network cards to each one just to make it actually usable. And oh boy, it make it actually usable. And oh boy, it make it actually usable. And oh boy, it was fast. I mean, I've done that was fast. I mean, I've done that was fast. I mean, I've done that transfer before on a 1 gig network and transfer before on a 1 gig network and transfer before on a 1 gig network and using 10, instead of being like 3 days, using 10, instead of being like 3 days, using 10, instead of being like 3 days, it was it was a few hours, maybe like it was it was a few hours, maybe like it was it was a few hours, maybe like six five or six hours or so it took. So, six five or six hours or so it took. So, six five or six hours or so it took. So, huge differences there when it comes to huge differences there when it comes to huge differences there when it comes to speed and moving large amounts of data.

speed and moving large amounts of data. speed and moving large amounts of data. Another thing that's really cool is Another thing that's really cool is Another thing that's really cool is these are PoE++ these are PoE++ these are PoE++ ports, so they can move a lot of ports, so they can move a lot of ports, so they can move a lot of voltages, which is really nice when you voltages, which is really nice when you voltages, which is really nice when you have a another switch or something that have a another switch or something that have a another switch or something that takes that in and can distribute a lot takes that in and can distribute a lot takes that in and can distribute a lot of PoE out. So, when I do move into a of PoE out. So, when I do move into a of PoE out. So, when I do move into a bigger place, this thing is going to be bigger place, this thing is going to be bigger place, this thing is going to be the switch that goes out to other the switch that goes out to other the switch that goes out to other smaller switches. And any Wi-Fi access smaller switches. And any Wi-Fi access smaller switches. And any Wi-Fi access points that support 10 gig in the points that support 10 gig in the points that support 10 gig in the future. Below that is another thing that future. Below that is another thing that future. Below that is another thing that is drama, but a lot more reasonable than is drama, but a lot more reasonable than is drama, but a lot more reasonable than this 10 gig one, and that is the USW Pro this 10 gig one, and that is the USW Pro this 10 gig one, and that is the USW Pro Max 24 PoE. All of these are PoE but Max 24 PoE. All of these are PoE but Max 24 PoE. All of these are PoE but with slightly different capability. The with slightly different capability. The with slightly different capability. The first eight here are PoE plus while all first eight here are PoE plus while all first eight here are PoE plus while all the rest of them are PoE plus plus. As the rest of them are PoE plus plus. As the rest of them are PoE plus plus. As you can see, it's very empty. It's you can see, it's very empty. It's you can see, it's very empty. It's really not doing a lot at the moment. really not doing a lot at the moment. really not doing a lot at the moment. But right now it is powering an access But right now it is powering an access But right now it is powering an access point. It's connected to my Proxmox point. It's connected to my Proxmox point. It's connected to my Proxmox machine. It's connected to this uh machine. It's connected to this uh machine. It's connected to this uh Unraid NAS right here. It's powering all Unraid NAS right here. It's powering all Unraid NAS right here. It's powering all the PoE devices that I also have in this the PoE devices that I also have in this the PoE devices that I also have in this rack. And then from there, sitting on rack. And then from there, sitting on rack. And then from there, sitting on top of the rack, not in the most ideal top of the rack, not in the most ideal top of the rack, not in the most ideal placement here, this is the U7 Pro XG placement here, this is the U7 Pro XG placement here, this is the U7 Pro XG sitting on top. That is a Wi-Fi 7 access sitting on top. That is a Wi-Fi 7 access sitting on top. That is a Wi-Fi 7 access point and it covers all the Wi-Fi in my point and it covers all the Wi-Fi in my point and it covers all the Wi-Fi in my office. I don't have cords going to office. I don't have cords going to office. I don't have cords going to basically any devices that aren't in basically any devices that aren't in basically any devices that aren't in this rack. So, it's all Wi-Fi in here this rack. So, it's all Wi-Fi in here this rack. So, it's all Wi-Fi in here and it's pretty fast. I don't notice it and it's pretty fast. I don't notice it and it's pretty fast. I don't notice it any like major differences compared to any like major differences compared to any like major differences compared to uh hardwired in. Oh, and I forgot to uh hardwired in. Oh, and I forgot to uh hardwired in. Oh, and I forgot to mention this unit right here, mention this unit right here, mention this unit right here, I mean, both of these units really, they I mean, both of these units really, they I mean, both of these units really, they have the RGB lighting so you could have the RGB lighting so you could have the RGB lighting so you could customize and control those. For the customize and control those. For the customize and control those. For the actual port connections, I haven't done actual port connections, I haven't done actual port connections, I haven't done that yet cuz I don't have enough things

that yet cuz I don't have enough things that yet cuz I don't have enough things to plug into it to actually utilize that to plug into it to actually utilize that to plug into it to actually utilize that feature properly, but it is just kind of feature properly, but it is just kind of feature properly, but it is just kind of a cool thing to have. So, from there, a cool thing to have. So, from there, a cool thing to have. So, from there, one of these is connected to In one room one of these is connected to In one room one of these is connected to In one room over is the garage and in there we have over is the garage and in there we have over is the garage and in there we have a USW Lite 8 PoE. So, basically anything a USW Lite 8 PoE. So, basically anything a USW Lite 8 PoE. So, basically anything out of this room is all going to be just out of this room is all going to be just out of this room is all going to be just gigabit networking, which is fine for gigabit networking, which is fine for gigabit networking, which is fine for upstairs. Its job is pretty simple. It upstairs. Its job is pretty simple. It upstairs. Its job is pretty simple. It acts as a bridge between down here and acts as a bridge between down here and acts as a bridge between down here and upstairs. Granted, it does have a few upstairs. Granted, it does have a few upstairs. Granted, it does have a few extra connections, one being to another extra connections, one being to another extra connections, one being to another Reolink camera and one of the cords goes Reolink camera and one of the cords goes Reolink camera and one of the cords goes up and over to a Raspberry Pi that has a up and over to a Raspberry Pi that has a up and over to a Raspberry Pi that has a 3D printing server on it. And then it's 3D printing server on it. And then it's 3D printing server on it. And then it's connected to another switch in my connected to another switch in my connected to another switch in my bedroom closet right above that switch, bedroom closet right above that switch, bedroom closet right above that switch, which that is a USW Lite 16 PoE. This is which that is a USW Lite 16 PoE. This is which that is a USW Lite 16 PoE. This is a really nice switch that I got on a a really nice switch that I got on a a really nice switch that I got on a Facebook market for a pretty good deal. Facebook market for a pretty good deal. Facebook market for a pretty good deal. Eight of the 16 ports have PoE. Most of Eight of the 16 ports have PoE. Most of Eight of the 16 ports have PoE. Most of those are used up with all the cameras those are used up with all the cameras those are used up with all the cameras around the exterior of the house and the around the exterior of the house and the around the exterior of the house and the Wi-Fi access point that I have in the Wi-Fi access point that I have in the Wi-Fi access point that I have in the living room, which in the living room we living room, which in the living room we living room, which in the living room we actually have another one of these guys actually have another one of these guys actually have another one of these guys right here that is a mounted a little right here that is a mounted a little right here that is a mounted a little more properly than what we see in the more properly than what we see in the more properly than what we see in the actual rack. U7 Pro XG again delivering actual rack. U7 Pro XG again delivering actual rack. U7 Pro XG again delivering some pretty good signal. It's not using some pretty good signal. It's not using some pretty good signal. It's not using its full capabilities. As you can see its full capabilities. As you can see its full capabilities. As you can see here on the dashboard, this one is you here on the dashboard, this one is you here on the dashboard, this one is you utilizing the full 10 gig possibilities, utilizing the full 10 gig possibilities, utilizing the full 10 gig possibilities, while that one or the one in the living while that one or the one in the living while that one or the one in the living room is not. And that's because it's room is not. And that's because it's room is not. And that's because it's connected to the uh gigabit switch connected to the uh gigabit switch connected to the uh gigabit switch there. So, I'm not going to have to there. So, I'm not going to have to there. So, I'm not going to have to upgrade anything in here, but I will upgrade anything in here, but I will upgrade anything in here, but I will have to upgrade some of the other have to upgrade some of the other have to upgrade some of the other switches eventually. And that's switches eventually. And that's switches eventually. And that's basically all the devices. Now, I'll put basically all the devices. Now, I'll put basically all the devices. Now, I'll put up a little thing here so you can see

up a little thing here so you can see up a little thing here so you can see how everything is kind of connected to how everything is kind of connected to how everything is kind of connected to each other. Internet comes in from that each other. Internet comes in from that each other. Internet comes in from that Xfinity modem into the UniFi Dream Xfinity modem into the UniFi Dream Xfinity modem into the UniFi Dream Machine. That has these uh FSP cables Machine. That has these uh FSP cables Machine. That has these uh FSP cables that connect all of these switches that connect all of these switches that connect all of these switches together very nicely, so they all have together very nicely, so they all have together very nicely, so they all have the full potential speed between them the full potential speed between them the full potential speed between them all. And then we have the smaller garage all. And then we have the smaller garage all. And then we have the smaller garage switch, which is connected to the rack, switch, which is connected to the rack, switch, which is connected to the rack, and then the uh switch upstairs is and then the uh switch upstairs is and then the uh switch upstairs is connected to the smaller switch. So, a connected to the smaller switch. So, a connected to the smaller switch. So, a pretty simple setup. All right, so let's pretty simple setup. All right, so let's pretty simple setup. All right, so let's talk about what I would change, cuz no talk about what I would change, cuz no talk about what I would change, cuz no network is perfect. Other than the network is perfect. Other than the network is perfect. Other than the obvious, this access point probably obvious, this access point probably obvious, this access point probably shouldn't be sitting here. Having that shouldn't be sitting here. Having that shouldn't be sitting here. Having that light 8-port PoE in the garage kind of light 8-port PoE in the garage kind of light 8-port PoE in the garage kind of is just an extra hop. Um that would kind is just an extra hop. Um that would kind is just an extra hop. Um that would kind of make sense to move this one 24-port of make sense to move this one 24-port of make sense to move this one 24-port switch can technically replace both of switch can technically replace both of switch can technically replace both of the uh 16 and 8 with better speeds and the uh 16 and 8 with better speeds and the uh 16 and 8 with better speeds and functionality. But I mean, it's functionality. But I mean, it's functionality. But I mean, it's rack-mounted in here. Look how pretty it rack-mounted in here. Look how pretty it rack-mounted in here. Look how pretty it is. Aesthetics over functionality. One is. Aesthetics over functionality. One is. Aesthetics over functionality. One thing that I picked up recently at Micro thing that I picked up recently at Micro thing that I picked up recently at Micro Center, which I'm going to cover in a Center, which I'm going to cover in a Center, which I'm going to cover in a future video, is uh this guy right here. future video, is uh this guy right here. future video, is uh this guy right here. This is a This is a This is a uh mobile router. It's not the same like uh mobile router. It's not the same like uh mobile router. It's not the same like travel router where you can like pull a travel router where you can like pull a travel router where you can like pull a hotel Wi-Fi and use that, build your own hotel Wi-Fi and use that, build your own hotel Wi-Fi and use that, build your own network off of that. This uses like network off of that. This uses like network off of that. This uses like cellular, or you could do uh PoE in to cellular, or you could do uh PoE in to cellular, or you could do uh PoE in to create um your own network. This is create um your own network. This is create um your own network. This is really good for like um if you're in an really good for like um if you're in an really good for like um if you're in an RV, or you have a log cabin somewhere, RV, or you have a log cabin somewhere, RV, or you have a log cabin somewhere, or if you're just having like a you just or if you're just having like a you just or if you're just having like a you just need a mobile internet connection need a mobile internet connection need a mobile internet connection somewhere. This is really good, but somewhere. This is really good, but somewhere. This is really good, but there's a lot of cons with this as to there's a lot of cons with this as to there's a lot of cons with this as to get most of the functionality out of it, get most of the functionality out of it, get most of the functionality out of it, it requires a subscription. And that's it requires a subscription. And that's it requires a subscription. And that's where most of my gripe comes with uh

where most of my gripe comes with uh where most of my gripe comes with uh Ubiquiti stuff is for proper Ubiquiti stuff is for proper Ubiquiti stuff is for proper functionality, you have to be in kind of functionality, you have to be in kind of functionality, you have to be in kind of their cloud ecosystem, you have an their cloud ecosystem, you have an their cloud ecosystem, you have an account, so all that kind of typical account, so all that kind of typical account, so all that kind of typical stuff that you'd see from a larger stuff that you'd see from a larger stuff that you'd see from a larger company like this.
