Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Router 7 (UDR7)
A WiFi 7 all-in-one router in the pro tier, the UDR7 folds routing, the UniFi controller, and a built-in NVR for UniFi Protect into a single box. It's aimed at prosumers who want the whole UniFi ecosystem under one roof rather than stacking separate gateway, switch, and NVR hardware. Skip it if you're not buying into UniFi, where a standalone WiFi 7 router covers the basics with less complexity.
