So, it's fair to say the Dream Router is late to the Wi-Fi 6 game. It's likely one of the last major traditional Wi-Fi 6 routers that you'll see me cover. But it's also definitely not the least. In fact, it might be a testament to how we "save the best for last." Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Router (UDR) vs Dream Machine (UDM): A bit of a misnomer For the best setup experience, we recommend updating to the latest version and ensuring that automatic updates are enabled.

Second, how is the throughput when they are enabled? Are you able to achieve full 1gb speeds or is there a massive reduction? However, it's also the least secure. It's better than no VPN at all, and it does its purpose of making a remote device part of a local network. Still, Ubiquiti's UniFi Dream Router is one of the most feature-rich routers any home user can find, partly because it's an enterprise-grade device.
