Dude I absolutely love your videos! They are so informative and easy to follow and understand. Good to have a fellow geek such as yourself make and provide these videos, to not only display the latest network technology, but to also consider practical network and security configurations to implement. I will be upgrading our Wi-Fi network at church and have learned a lot regarding Unifi/Ubiquity from your videos. Kudos and thanks!

Mr Miller,
As a complete novice, I was able to set up my home network in a few hours, following your incredibly informative and easy to follow set up tutorial video. THANK YOU !!!
My Network:
- UDM-SE 
- Unifi Network Pro 48 PoE switch
- (5) U6 -Long Rang WiFi access points
- Cameras and door bell to follow
I was able to set up a super fast, secure access point WiFi network through my home and yard. I am extra grateful for the concise explanation you provided on creating additional networks, rules & permissions, and security measures. None of which is explained in simple layman's terms at Ubiquity or anywhere else for that matter.
I hope you continue to do additional videos on best practices/ maintenance/ advanced user tips and tricks for us novices, especially as firmware updates and features evolve.
Again, thank you.

Brilliantly explained, thank you so much for this. This is invaluable for anyone taking the Unifi plunge.

I’m seriously in awe of you and how well you explained everything with not too much or too little. Very nice

[davidbeswick]

This video is unreal, i'm looking to upgrade my home network and infrastructure and you have just made a clear distinction between other brands by explaining the full setup. Thank you very much

After my 3750x hobby switch died I needed a replacement. I picked up the UDM Pro SE and love it. Thanks for posting this and will help with better infrastructure management. I also discovered this replaces my centurylink fiber router with pppoe settings and went a step further of wan failover. Cool product!

[wrufai]

Thank you for the fully comprehensive explanation. You have a gift for teaching and describing complex topics.

[ArkvaleColoniser]

This guy is great, explains things simply and when he uses an acronym, he actually explains rather than me going onto Google and finding out POE means Path of Exile,
Don’t know how a computer game refers to cables, but at least this guy explains it’s actually Power Over Ethernet

[Markus-fwpx]

This is really everything one needs to set up his network. Love it, couldn't be better. Thanks man! Oh, yeah, what's missing is the connection from the ISP-modem in bridge mode to the Dream machine.

Dude, this is an awesome video. I'm in the market for a Ubiquiti system since I'm buying a new house. Every word in this video is informational. Many thanks.

[leonboles]

This is a great video, you did a good job of explaining technical details and settings that someone with experience might want to know where and how, and in a way that’s easy to understand for even complete beginners.

[shaud]

Good sir you are a true gentleman and a scholar, you stopped from buying way too much equipment, that mini flex thing is a money saver, plus all the capabilities the UDM has I'm buying one today. Thank you

[rajatrgaur]

One of the best videos I've seen for this hardware and you did it step-by-step thank you so much it really helps out

[MactelecomNetworks]

Great video! Glad to see you making content again

[DougForce]

I’ve been using UniFi for years and it’s great for the techie set. Nice job explaining how to setup. Enjoyed your video.

[Photoshopuzr]

this guy got straight to the point and answered my question i was looking for, years unanswered, , even though i kind figured it out already. But great to see how he explains it. Thanks again man.

[gerardnorris]

Hey Jack, Super video. I created my new Unifi System based on this video and per our consultation. A true subject matter expert and a gentleman.

[chadwilkins]

Thank you for the update UniFi. Something you can add to this is using special characters or spaces in your Wi-Fi name/SSID or password can create issues with certain devices for some reason. I guess older technology or what not. Hopefully that saves somebody to extra stress.

[sanyr]

Thumbs up, appreciate the explainer. I haven't futzed with networking equipment in almost 20 years, it's amazing how user friendly it all is now.

[gounbasgounbas]

As others mentioned, a GREAT video. Simple, to the point, no extra stuff except the explanations and intro to what is needed for the effective, best practice network. THANK YOU!
