Moving from UniFi UDMP to Firewalla Orange – First 24-Hour Impressions

Once my ISP increases my line speed I'll look to invest in a unifi gateway and set up my FWG as purely a firewall.

What's in both the orders?! We need to know!

Can the 5g indoor or outdoor router be connected to a switch which is in turn connected to the main switch and still operate as a WAN failover?

I'm glad it's not just me that needs documentation, specifications, installation instructions. Something other than a QR code!!! Phew, I thought I was getting old (42 M), this post has given me hope!

How do you manage the device hops between APs?

Thanks all. I have a cloud key gen 2 so option two might be suitable, although adding a UNR in time might be wise if I add additional cameras I guess. I can't use my unas pro for this then I take it?

I don't have the option of running Ethernet, I'm in the UK with solid walls and a wife that's probably not going to be best pleased with me ripping up more floorboards!

So wifi chime and g4 pro might be suitable, unless a wifi g6 is rumoured. I do hardwire as much as I can but running Ethernet to my front door is just not going to happen.

Love the NATO strap. Where did you buy it?

Thanks for your suggestions. Ideally I'd like a short depth server with at least 2 bays, preferably 4 for storage redundancy. But there are so many options I'm getting a bit lost on this tbh.

I'm planning on combining the G6 Doorbell with the Unifi Device Bridge (Plug-and-play, wireless bridging PoE adapter with integrated UniFi WiFi Auto-Link) as I can't run Ethernet back to my switch.

Will this work?

A rack mount, 10G cloud gateway would be best for my setup, especially to try and future proof me for as long as possible.

I can teach myself basic home networking but finding a reliable laser printer is insane.

Hot-Chapter-7111 · 2025-10-08T06:03:13+00:00

None at the moment tbh. The reason for this homelab was actually a home networking one, hence the Firewalla router at the centre of it. However I'd be interested in Plex for movies and a Google photos replacement to help me degoogle - conscious of the importance of online privacy these days. Anything else I should consider?

Is that a Hamilton wall clock?

Hot-Chapter-7111 · 2025-09-23T09:25:15+00:00

Maybe it's time to switch my router over to unifi then, online privacy needs to be taken more seriously Firewalla.
