About the UniFi Dream Machine
The UniFi Dream Machine is a unified networking router and security appliance delivering up to 3.5 Gbps routing throughput in a compact standalone desktop form factor. Manufactured by Ubiquiti, this all-in-one platform (part number UDM-US) consolidates routing, switching, wireless access, and threat detection into a single device—ideal for network engineers and IT procurement teams seeking integrated infrastructure without sprawling hardware stacks.
The Dream Machine combines wired and wireless connectivity through 1 Gigabit Ethernet WAN port, 8 Gigabit Ethernet managed switch LAN ports, and Wi-Fi 5 (IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac) across concurrent dual-band frequencies (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz). Powered by a dual-core ARM Cortex-A57 processor at 1.7 GHz with 2 GB DDR4 RAM and 16 GB eMMC storage, the appliance delivers wireless speeds up to 1733 Mbps on 5 GHz and 300 Mbps on 2.4 GHz using 4×4 MU-MIMO technology with internal omnidirectional antennas. Security-focused deployments benefit from up to 850 Mbps IDS/IPS throughput. The unit operates on standard AC power input (100–240 V, 50/60 Hz) with maximum power consumption of 35 W, fitting easily into space-constrained environments at 110 × 110 × 184 mm. Ubiquiti's unified approach eliminates the complexity of managing separate devices while maintaining enterprise-grade performance.
