@SJHT did you mean 6.0 controller? I'm still on 5.x (latest stable) and all has been great.
Curious how
@Kicker and
@Bauer89 are doing with their Uni systems?
I really love mine. I've got 7 switches & 6 Access points... and it's just great to manage it in one place.
I haven't had the headaches that
@Vodder has had since i'm running mine pretty basic... no VLAN or VPN.
I upgraded my USG-Pro to the new UXG Pro and immediately got a 50% boost in throughput.
Gigabit service, and my laptop (on ethernet, but sharing the main switch with ~30 other devices including my wife on a video call right now and 5 cameras on Protect on this same network)... still getting amazing performance.

With my USG, i rarely could break 600mbps
I'm still running the 5.x controller... scared of the 6.0 so far since so many bad reports. 5 is working so well for me, so i don't see a need to go to 6 for my basic setup here.
Controller is running on a CK2+. Running protect on that cloudkey as well, with an added 6tb drive, and currently at 5 cameras (1 G4, rest are G3) Should probably switch to NVR but with just 5 cams right now, i haven't felt the urgency.
I totally agree with the comment that we're all running beta software and firmware and helping the company test out their gear, but it's still made my life SO much better than when i was running consumer-grade non-SDN switches and APs. Unexplained dropouts for no reason, devices getting kicked off wifi for no reason, etc. I was tearing my hair out when COVID struck and my kids moved back home, including an Apple engineer son with extraordinary bandwidth needs (at least 14 devices in his room at any given time), plus 3 others here all on video calls all day long. Switching it all over to Unifi and redoing the network properly had made it all just work great. No one has had any devices oddly drop off network, bandwidth is high to every device, some of my IoT stuff stopped complaining about non-existent network loops, etc.
(one caveat - I briefly tried their first gen mesh APs UAP-AC-M-US, and those were disastrous. constant wifi problems in those zones. When I took the plunge and put in real APs with ethernet backhaul to switch, all went back to being perfect/bulletproof)
I'd never go back to consumer stuff, nor do i have a need to move up to real enterprise-grade stuff. Unifi is goldilocks perfect for my needs.
