Ubiquiti released the 1.7.2 stable firmware for the Unifi Dream Machine (UDM) and Unifi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro) gateway devices over the weekend.

This issue with incredible slowness when deep packet inspection (DPI) is enabled isn’t new to the UDM/UDM-Pro firmware version 1.7.0, I just haven’t had a chance to make this video public until now.
