  1. Yeah UniFi routers are a bit difficult to understand. They aren't useful that much for either homes or businesses. If I were to recommend a Ubiquiti router to someone who ran UniFi for his WiFi at home, I would recommend ER-X. The thing is dirt cheap, is stable like a stone and a lot cleverer than any USG. From business perspective UniFi routers don't make a whole lot of sence either, because there are features missing from it, which a company could need, like the timeframe or openVPN. Where do I see use for a USG? Well, only in isolated areas with relatively good infrastructure, where you don't need much from a router, and can't have technician on site or in reach. Say a hotel chain with HQ in a city and remote sites throughout countryside. I perfectly see a PfSense at HQ and a bunch of USGs connecting to it via VPN, but outside of that scenario? Not much. USGs and Dream Machines are overpriced for end user and insufficiently robust for general business. Oh and USGs vs Dream Machines? Well, you can't integrate a Dream Machine in to another controller and can't controll more sites from it...
