UniFi Dream Router

sellUniFi Dream Router

The UniFi Dream Router 7 is a cost-effective and simple device to get you up and running within the UniFi ecosystem. To learn more about the UniFi ecosystem and why it’s the best match for your short-term rental property, read our article on the topic.

This is a single device which can control your entire UniFi system, plus is a reliable and powerful network router and WiFi access point capable of handling the unique challenges presented by your short-term rental.

One limitation is that we recommend you isolate your network devices from guest access, and this device doesn’t lend itself to being hidden or isolated. Since it is an all-in-one device, it would typically be positioned in the house where it provides good internet coverage. This limits your ability to keep this in a secure location inaccessible to guests.

UniFi Dream Router Review

UniFi Dream Router Review
9 10 0 1
The UniFi Dream Router is a great starter device to get into the UniFi ecosystem. It has everything you need to get started, but becomes limited if you are looking for more advanced setups. We recommend this device for anyone wanting a simple network setup they can control & monitor from anywhere. It also provides you with the ability to access the device remotely, allowing you to check and troubleshoot issues from afar. Overall it is a great option for anyone thinking of getting started with UniFi at their short-term rental property.
