Ubiquiti has announced the Dream Router 5G Max (UDR-5G-Max), a new multi-functional 5G CPE that supports cellular, LAN, and Wi-Fi connectivity. The device is priced at $499 and will be available in February 2026.
The Dream Router 5G Max acts as a desktop cloud gateway with integrated 5G connectivity, tri-band Wi-Fi 7, and UniFi OS support. It features a cylindrical design measuring 110 × 110 × 250 mm and includes one NanoSIM slot alongside a NanoSIM/eSIM hybrid slot. On 5G NSA networks, the device delivers up to 3.4Gbps downlink and 560Mbps uplink speeds. On standalone 5G SA networks, it reaches 1.8Gbps downlink and 650Mbps uplink.
The router comes with one 10GbE SFP+ port and four 2.5GbE RJ45 ports, including one PoE output. The Wi-Fi system is rated BE10700, with speeds of 688Mbps, 4.3Gbps, and 5.7Gbps across the three bands. Coverage extends to approximately 160 square meters. Ubiquiti includes a 64GB microSD card for video storage and application use, with support for up to five HD, two 2K, and one 4K stream through UniFi Protect.
Ubiquiti has positioned this model as the flagship of its newly expanded UniFi 5G Max lineup. The company also introduced two additional models. The UniFi 5G Max indoor modem is a PoE-powered unit priced at $399. It supports dual SIM and eSIM with up to 3.4Gbps throughput. Ubiquiti lists compatibility with AT&T and T-Mobile, with Verizon certification expected by the end of December.
The outdoor version, UniFi 5G Max Outdoor, is designed for harsh environments. It features an IPX6 rating by default and reaches IP67 with an optional cable-gland door kit. It maintains the same 5G performance as the indoor version and will be available in January 2026 for $459.
