Unifi is the Apple of networking gear. When something new is released the HN crowd is excited even when the same functionality existed already with another company.

This is perfect for me, who want to avoid Chinese-branded devices as much as possible.

What it can do, and Ubiquity already had this as a separate product, is act as a fallback for you regular internet connection.

You can do the same with Mikrotik and a ton of configuration, the pitch with Unify is that it "just works".

Sure, but it’s not manufactured in Ch- ah, nevermind.

I have this exact Huawei as my failover internet connection, works perfectly except doesn't do PoE so I need to have a stupid wall-wart for it.

It's a modem, not a router.

The big question is why do we need 5g? My phone doesn’t support it and my internet is fast enough as long as I have good coverage. Coverage problems are only exaggerated by 5G since the range for short waves is shorter
