They support everything you would need for a network, but not their other applications. They have these, they have a few other like applications that can run on their routers and ubiquity talk is one of them. So I had to upgrade to the next one up, like not, not the cloud gateway pro, but the cloud gateway max. I have like the max ultra one, whatever the highest one is.

And that one supports the other applications. It has like a faster processor and more memory and stuff like that. But even that, like, moving from one gateway to another, so basically taking my entire network of 15 different Ubiquiti devices that are all adopted and configured and named and everything, moving that to a different one, that process you would think would be awful. It's not.

You plug in the new one, and there's an option, Restore from Backup. They apparently have cloud backups now to your Ubiquiti account for all your configurations. So you can just log into your account...

It's really, really great compared to everything else out there. It's very modern. It's very clean. It's very well designed. This is not an ad for ubiquity. We are trying to get them to sponsor our show, but I don't know if they sponsor podcasts. But we would love to get them, but this is not an ad. They have not paid us yet. In fact, I just keep paying them. But this is everything.

I should hold on. I should say I just had a horrific experience with Amazon like pretty bad where I bought an iPad for the restaurant and it was the wrong. It was the base model. The base model is not going to fit where I want it, so I'm using a mini instead. So I went to return the base model unopened within a few days of getting it.

And the only way for me to return that iPad is in person at a Whole Foods. The nearest Whole Foods to my house is 40 minutes away. I went on the chat, tried to get them to give me anything else. There is no other option. This was not disclosed anywhere that I saw. I didn't even know this was possible. There is no way for me to return this iPad to Amazon that I just bought and it's unopened.
