No, it's not. And that's the other thing. So it's hard to know what to buy, and their product lineup changes pretty frequently. So you have to kind of be well-versed in Ubiquity's vocabulary to be able to look at the current lineup at any given time and say, oh, I need one of those. Actually, I made a mistake.

The first router I bought for the restaurant, they had this new compact line of, I think it's called Gateway Ultra, Gateway Max, something like that. Ubiquity is now also Pro Max everything.

all their names it's really stupid but anyway uh so they at first i i bought one of these small routers it looked like it had what i needed for the restaurant um but then when i went to go add the ubiquity talk thing i realized the router doesn't support it and it took a while to realize this because basically the routers like they're they're those two routers that are like the

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...

and restore the backup of your router onto a new router and replace it that way and everything all your switches come back it's everything's adopted like it i'm telling you this like this blows me away how how incredibly advanced this stuff is like this is pro networking stuff but what they've done to make it easy and friendly is remarkable

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.

If you need something they sell, it's fantastic. And it just keeps getting better all the time.

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.
