I can only assume that the Ubiquiti Unifi USW Flex Mini is penance for the debacle that is the UDM/UDM-Pro. Because where the Unifi Dream Machine is deeply flawed, this $30 fully managed, PoE switch is the opposite. Great value, great features, and it works the way it’s supposed to. Brilliant.

Creating port forward rules is a fundamental part of any firewall. This video demonstrates how to create, and troubleshoot firewall rules using the Ubiquiti Unifi platform. Most of the discussion revolves around the UDM-Pro, but I also show some of the differences between it and doing the same thing with a USG.

About five years ago, someone created a feature request on the Fitbit forums requesting that they allow the device to act like a BTLE heart rate (HR) monitor. Simple enough, Fitbit devices have BTLE (that’s how they sync with your phone), and they track heart rate (at least most of them). Adding this feature, which many other HR tracking watches […]

One of the reasons I love going to trade shows is the opportunity to stumble upon great kit that I didn’t know existed. At the top of the CABDA 2020 list is a company called Prestacycle. Where I found an amazing collection of clever tools, some for on-the-bike, and others for the shop. All of them seemed well thought out […]

It’s not all bad news when it comes to the Ubiquiti Unifi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro), but I did get decidedly mixed results when, after getting 10Gbps SFP+ working, I got down to testing the UDM-Pro’s LAN-to-WAN performance via iPerf to find out what it can do with Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) on, and with it off. The raw numbers […]

One of the reasons I love, like, still use (I kid, but our relationship is a bit rocky right now) Ubiquiti Unifi kit is the feature set per dollar. With this new PoE powered five port managed switch setting a new standard at $29. Yeah, $29 for a managed switch. I’ve already ordered one, but could see myself selling off […]

If you’re having trouble adopting a Unifi AP (access point), need to change a network IP, or curious how to setup and configure a wireless network on a UDM or UDM-Pro so that it has it’s own VLAN/subnet for management reasons (i.e. parental controls). This video walks through all the steps to do that, as well as discussing some features […]

Due to a bug in the Unifi mobile app, I incorrectly stated that the UDM-Pro’s SFP+ ports were completely broken. As it turns out, they do work, but only barely.
