Dual WAN fully engaged!

This is was a long time coming.  i’ve had the equipment for years, but it was always needed elsewhere.  Finally home, it’s up and running.  smoother and more reliably than with any previous deployment. Just in time for me to accidentally unplug my Spectrum modem!

I was surprised and impressed by the integration with the Starlink that Unifi exhibited.  including obstruction info and firmware info on the Unifi dashboard.

Ubiquiti’s USG router steps up with dual wan support!

I was very excited to discover this feature listed in my Unifi controller today.  You can now repurpose the VOIP port to act as a WAN2.  The ironic part is that i don’t believe the VOIP port serves any actual VOIP function as of yet.  I’ve been recommending these USG routers since I learned of their existence. Unfortunately a lot of my clients want dual WAN and until now, the Unifi Security Gateway fell short.  No longer, Ubiquiti has a really great product line with the Unifi.  I am continuously discovering great new innovation with the latest update to their software, firmware, or cloud platform.  I have been waiting for this!
