How to get this product work with Sunrise incl. the VOIP and IPTV Hello guys: I found a workaround. You can connect your WAN cable to a 4 port switch that should be able to support 10/100/1000 Mbs, something like Netgear. One connection goes to your Unifi device (WAN port), the other one goes to your IP Telephone and the 3rd to your IPTV. Please note: 1) If you have a fiber optic, you need to buy the following Media Converter: converter Zyxel MCT-3002W2SFP-DR to convert your fiber cable to LAN. You can use the Sunrise fibre module to connect the module to the media converter. 2) For sunrise the VLANs IDs is the following: Internet 131 IP telephone 117/5 IPTV 121 Before you connect your IPTV and your IP Telephone, you need to configure the VLAN ID correctly in all your devices to get it to work. This solution has been tested. I made this workaround until Unifi comes with a solution. How this product works with Sunrise including VOIP and IPTV Hello folks I have found a workaround.

Hello all. How loud is the fan? Is it possible to place the unit in a closed TV cabinet without it overheating? Merci

It probably depends a bit on how big the chest of drawers is and whether there are any other appliances next to it that can get warm, but I personally can't recommend it.
I have the Dream Machine on an open shelf and it runs at a constant 61°C without you hearing the fans. I think 61°C is rather warm compared to the Asus AC-RT86u I had before. And during certain situations, such as installing updates

Do I need a UI account to set up and operate the UDM? Or can it also be set up locally like a USG 3P? Of course it can be advantageous to access and adjust the UDM via cloud access (remote access). But for me, this access is a no-go for a router that should block attacks and access from outside and protect the network. All settings and passwords (even if encrypted) are stored in the cloud. In the event of a hack on Ubiquiti (which has already happened), these would be leaked. I was therefore surprised that the Ui account requirement was never mentioned or discussed here. After all, for me, that's the purchase decision. In the meantime, can you do the whole setup locally (for example, even without internet)?

Unfortunately, unlike the USG, an internet connection with a UI account is required to set up the UDM. The only thing that helps is a good password and 2FA. Deactivating or revoking rights is also not possible with the UI account, although another local "super admin" account has been set up...
