All-in-One Router, WiFi AP, 4-Port Switch, and Security Gateway for Small Networks
The Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Machine (UDM) combines a WiFi 5 802.11ac 4x4 Wave 2 access point, a 4-port Gigabit switch, an advanced security gateway with IDS/IPS, and the UniFi Network controller in a single desktop device. It provides everything needed to run a small wired and wireless network without separate appliances for routing, switching, wireless, and management.
The UDM targets homes, small offices, and branch locations that want the full UniFi software experience without deploying a Cloud Key, separate AP, switch, and router. A 1.7 GHz quad-core processor handles routing, deep packet inspection, intrusion detection, and wireless service simultaneously. The network is scalable by connecting additional UniFi APs and switches to the LAN ports. Managed through the built-in UniFi Network interface or mobile app.
Where the UniFi Dream Machine Fits
- Home networks and home offices that want enterprise-grade features (VLANs, IDS/IPS, DPI, traffic management) without managing multiple separate devices
- Small offices and retail locations where a single desktop device provides routing, WiFi, switching, and security with no rack or closet required
- Entry point into the UniFi ecosystem for users who want to start with one device and expand by adding additional APs or switches to the LAN ports later
What the Dream Machine Delivers
- WiFi 5, 4x4 MU-MIMO: Dual-band 802.11ac Wave 2 access point with 4x4 MU-MIMO for high-throughput wireless coverage from the desktop unit.
- 4-port Gigabit switch: Built-in managed switch for wired devices. Expandable by connecting additional UniFi switches downstream.
- Security gateway with IDS/IPS: Advanced threat detection, deep packet inspection (DPI), and traffic management powered by a 1.7 GHz quad-core processor.
- Built-in UniFi controller: No separate Cloud Key or server needed. Manages the UDM itself plus any additional UniFi devices on the network.
- Desktop form factor: Designed for placement on a desk or shelf. No rack mounting required.
