Please, please, please test the paid threat protection. No one has done an indepth review of it to date.

I would LOVE to see how a cheap OPNsense/PFSense box with 10gb nic stands up to that traffic generator as a future video idea..

Mad respect for not giving in and signing the Ubiquiti media agreements the other "reviewers" do. Absolutely love this type of coverage, showing everything you can whether good or bad. Keep it up, hope to see more of this!!

You guys have gone above and beyond what should reasonably be expected. I LOVE the direction y'all are taking the channel. It's great that you test both crazy high end gear but also still cater to normal folks who are looking for more consumer level tech and home lab stuff. Keep up the AWESOME content and thank you to all of the people financially supporting you guys.

Awesome video, but would love to see the results with the IDS enabled.

It's crazy how test equipment, in every industry, is many multiples more expensive than the equipment it's used to test! (But I guess it makes sense as you need it to be as good as/better than the SUT, while also being sure everything is calibrated to be an ideal reference).

How did you guys spend all this time and money and NOT stress test the advanced firewall IDS/IPS throughput?? 🤨

YES as a Unifi user and having CyberSecure subscription i absolutely want to see the results of that test. (I also run the UCG-Fiber as main router in my setup)

Just got my UCG-Fiber and set it up right before this video was released, great to see what this little device can stand up to, very pleased. But also completely agree the lack of user serviceable fan is ridiculous.

This video is by far the best video you have ever done… and it’s not even close!!! <br><br>Your new test gear will prove its value for well into the future. Long time member. The sound you hear in the distance is Ubiquiti’s inventory selling out.
