Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Router 5G Max (UDR-5G-Max)
Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Router 5G Max (UDR-5G-Max) is a Wi-Fi 7 tri-band router with a 10 Gbps internet port that supports UniFi mesh.
- Wi-Fi 7
- 10G WAN
- SQM
At a glance
Derived from the published specs below, not from hands-on testing.
Good fit for
- A 10 Gbps internet port for multi-gig plans
- Growing into mesh later with UniFi units
- Keeping latency low on a busy connection (Smart Queue Management)
- Separating smart-home or guest devices with VLANs
- Remote access over WireGuard VPN
- Wired multi-gig devices (3 LAN ports faster than 1 Gbps)
Keep in mind
- Fastest LAN port is 2.5 Gbps: one wired device gets at most 2.5 Gbps, whatever the plan
- Routing throughput isn't published, so the maker doesn't confirm it routes 10 Gbps
- The 10 Gbps internet port is SFP+: it needs a module or transceiver matching your provider's handoff (not included or priced here)
- With IDS/IPS on, the maker's figure is 2.3 Gbps
- Paid add-ons: No subscription needed for core features; optional CyberSecure add-on, $99 per unit per year; cellular backup needs a carrier data plan

"Not published" means the manufacturer doesn't document it; it doesn't mean the feature is missing. "Not checked yet" means we haven't looked for that figure yet. Coverage, device counts and throughput are the manufacturer's claims under the manufacturer's test conditions; RouterHaus hasn't measured them.
