I just got one of these, I need to find the a half day when I can take our network offline to install it. I am really interested in seeing how the intrusion protection works compared to the Gateway and Cloud Key Gen2 Plus combo I have now.

That’s a serious piece of kit!

does it allow mgmt of itself amd ubiquity access points without recourse to online resources (ie no cloud mgmt)?
Yes, it can be managed locally “directly connected”.

Wow! Let us know how it works out. I’ve been looking for something with a feature set like this.

The added processing is supposed to really enhance the intrusion protection functionality.
Toys… there’s really no end.

Ubiquiti are really upsetting the likes of Cisco, Fortigate and Juniper because they’re the first ones to actually concentrate on the management interface to make it up to date rather than staying on old 70’s command line stuff.
It’s really causing waves in the datacenter. The reliability is unquestionably there as well. I wish them well, they deserve to be extremely successful.

anyone have a problem if I just throw an old ethernet cable into the back of the AirLens and see what happens?

Personally I think that’s the only way to start. Then work up the food chain until you are satisfied.
If you want to manage Ubiquiti at home you can do it on a QNAP server with free Ubiquiti software.
Personally, everything is protected on my network using Bitdefender using an Armor subscription on my modern (Netgear N7000).

I know it takes time but I wired everything in my house. I do have Modem 2 floors up from my music room in basement. It goes through a few gig switches and seems to be solid. In my music room I just got up and running is my new Melco S100. I take my feed to room and put in media converter. Then fiber/optical to the Melco which feeds all things in the room. The only wireless piece I have is my P20 up front. I am saving the 1 run to the front of ethernet is for the Airlens coming. So I bought a $35 wireless ethernet adaptor. Works plenty well for that thing to register. I have not done a ton of listening with the Melco, but from the one night It was not a big improvement, but that could be due to the isolation the Sonore already does. The soundstage seemed a bit wider, but its hard to judge. Not sure it was worth what I paid. But it does offer optical isolation for my entire room both 2ch and HT so I just like that part. Yes I use the recommended LPS from Plixer.

Curious to learn what you think after a few weeks.
Definitely let everyone know. Did some more listening and there is a bit more improvement in the soundstage. Can’t say treble or bass or anything is better but mostly improved soundstage.
I think others w/o a Sonore would find bigger improvement with this set up. One thing I did find is the media converter seemed very fussy with what spf modules used. I could not get Cisco or prolabs ones to work. Ended up with two new ones from small green computers and they did not work. Bu they worked from Melco to Sonore. So I used those there and my old one from Sonore into input for Melco leaving original in media converter.
Last thing I may do is bring the NAS downstairs and plug into the Melco in the HT rack next to the roon NUC.

That sounds interesting…
Care to share the specifics about the kit?
Cheers.
My NAS and my Grimm MU1 are both connected to my EtherREGEN. Plus the network. I may be abusing my privileges.

Pretty simple setup on pc then I just plugged into Ethernet port on P20 and power into spare outlet on back. Works perfectly

That does look like the photo Paul shared.
Yes still the old prototype design Paul said it won’t be.
