I don’t know… sometimes there seems to be more a$$’s than seats! Kinda like that musical chair game they play at kids parties, where they keep removing chairs! 🪑 😂
Any good reason why UI doesn’t have a pre-order system, especially for reliable customers? They can tell when what they sell gets deployed, to weed out scalpers. Why must it be like Ticketmaster?
I would love to have my card processed and shipped the item to me when it comes back in stock instead of being treated like the way I’m being treated now.
Probably larger overheard than it’s worth in their eyes.
It’s a travel router, not a Taylor Swift concert.
The general UniFi audience is not teenagers and clout chasers so they will be generally smart enough to be against scalping.
And judging by the questions asked around like “what’s the use case for a travel router”, for many people, buying one of these is not a need, just a want so they’re more willing to wait for next drop vs. paying scalper.
You're missing the point. The comment isn't about the UTR specifically; it is a comment about the problem of UI being constantly out of stock of a large array of products.
Honestly I’m starting to think the people that are listing these are the people who are selling them.
These are getting posted non stop and all you’re doing by posting these is drawing more attention to their listing…
I have one coming in today and after reading about issues I’m trying to decide whether to open it and give it a go or dump it. Seeing what people are willing to pay has me seriously considering the latter.
Absolutely agree but I can fantasize, I’m pretty sure I’m too much of a glutton for punishment to not open it and suffer through dealing with being a beta/alpha tester.
It's not worth that much. Got mine today. My short review: it's small and compact and works, but doesn't have the features like my glinet has. I'll use it in certain situations, but prefer my glinet over this. I'm hopeful they add some features to the firmware eventually.
Yeah, I was expecting limited functionality from the spec sheet, but with my short time playing with it I can't believe how little it has. I got the slate 7 and two of the baryl models.
I didn't even think about returning it, but I might now that you mention it, just because it's so underwhelming, I could spend a few more and get a 2nd slate 7, something with more power and features.
I am impressed with its size, when compared to the Slate 7 but hate low profile folding RJ45 ports. Had I known that its size was directly proportional to its feature set I would have held off on buying it.
I ordered one on the second restock (thanks Reddit, for informing me when Ubiquiti's stock notification didn't). Here's a brief explainer of the demand:
1) It's a travel router. For those of us who travel, a travel router allows us to easily get multiple devices connected to a secure network (you get the travel router onto the hotel's wifi, and the travel router forms a VPN link to your home network while broadcasting your home network, so all of your and your family's devices just connect to the travel router).
2) It's an ultra-slim travel router. I have a Glinet travel router, which is really tiny, but there have been times it was just too bulky to bring. I could have fit this router. The Glinet may be fuller-featured than this at this time, but my needs aren't immense.
3) It's a UniFi travel router. For those of us who are deep in the UniFi ecosystem, there's automatically some hype surrounding the fact that it's a UniFi product.

Wow 😮… Scalpers are scalping already? 🤨
A phrase attributed to P.T. Barnum that applies here:
There's a sucker born every minute.
And the phrase will be proven if that sells at ask.
My father always used to say, “There’s an a$$ for every seat!” 😂
It's not technically true. There are lots of empty seats. The message he was trying to convey is good though.
I don’t know… sometimes there seems to be more a$$’s than seats! Kinda like that musical chair game they play at kids parties, where they keep removing chairs! 🪑 😂
Fuck scalpers. Pardon my French.
That's the Queens English sir, no pardon needed.

Imagine if their in stock email system actually worked. I see it on Reddit when there’s stock.
It works exactly as set up.
I have signed up for about 5 different email when stock available on different things and haven’t received one.
Your queue hasn't come up yet I guess.
I just see the Reddit posts then click order, shrimple.
Sure, because this creates hype and free exposure for them.
Create hype with good products and reliable services. They’re not a start up anymore. Professionals depend on them now.

Lmao, you want it? Three fitty for you
Tree fiddy 😂
What a surprise. Not.
we should all message him and say we are interested :)
Say you’d like to come take a look then show up with $60
I don't travel, so, there's that. Glad I am not getting sucked into this Ubiq... Ubiquiti... OMFG EVERYTHING ELSE IS BACK IN STOCK!!! TAKE MY MONEY!!!
Considering the lack of capability of these units, they aren’t worth anymore than $80.
I don't understand why this deserves a post. It happens, we know it happens...
I thought 300 was a little absurd.
Once again... We know this happens.
Would you prefer a show and tell of my new rack to highlight my disposable income instead?
Yes
Listen, if the bastard that put this up for sale is in this group.
Your momma is a hoe.
I have one coming in today and after reading about issues I’m trying to decide whether to open it and give it a go or dump it. Seeing what people are willing to pay has me seriously considering the latter.
Just because it is listed at a stupid price does not mean someone is willing to pay it.
Absolutely agree but I can fantasize, I’m pretty sure I’m too much of a glutton for punishment to not open it and suffer through dealing with being a beta/alpha tester.
Wondering, if shipping is included
Does it include the 14-days money back?

Compared to my Slate 7 the UTR practically has no features at all.
Yeah, I was expecting limited functionality from the spec sheet, but with my short time playing with it I can't believe how little it has. I got the slate 7 and two of the baryl models.
If everyone would return their UTR then it might teach Ubiquity to stop releasing products without any features. Probably not.
I didn't even think about returning it, but I might now that you mention it, just because it's so underwhelming, I could spend a few more and get a 2nd slate 7, something with more power and features.
I am impressed with its size, when compared to the Slate 7 but hate low profile folding RJ45 ports. Had I known that its size was directly proportional to its feature set I would have held off on buying it.
Agreed
It’s exactly what I wanted. A smaller slate with bare necessities. All I care about is tunneling back home with the smallest footprint.
Già comprare un prodotto unifi alla prima release è un reato, pagarlo anche 4 volte il prezzo reale è da criminali incalliti. :-)
If someone is daft or desperate enough to buy it then good luck to them
not surprised at all
So. It. Begins.
WUT
I still don't understand the demand for this

What a douche
Like we say in my beautiful language: “get cancer you filthy cancer whore and your cancer mother” 😍
Just sold mine for $250, too easy🤣🤣🤣
Let it rot
😂😂😂😂
I hope no one buys them.. so they will be forced to return them (hopefully)
Scum of the earth
