because its cheaper for them and they have determined that a longer warranty would not increase sales enough to cover the additional cost. Be wary of "lifetime" warranties that requires original proof of purchase.Why does Ubiquiti only offer 1-year warranty on their products when other companies (i.e. Pro/Enterprise Netgear, TP Link, etc.) offer lifetime warranty?

I cant recall the last time ive had a router or switch die. The warranty should not be a factor in your purchasing decision.
I’ve also experienced some serious POE issues with their 16-port switch. Steer clear of it as I’ve read it’s been an ongoing issue with the 16-port switch only. I had to return it and go with 2 8-port switches.

The ironic part is the problem on the 16-port switch is faulty passive POE. What do most of Ubiquiti products use? They use passiveLol, I noticed the price drop on their 16-port PoE switch; that's what got me starting this thread. I do use some of Ubiquiti's equipment, but when I had to expand on a dedicated PoE switch I opted for TP-Link. I thought about removing TP-Link and consolidating everything into UniFi, but what concerns me is some of the report hardware failures on Ubiquiti switches (i.e. US-16-150W)
I hope you added some additional cooling to the 8 port model, they run extremely hot.I’ve also experienced some serious POE issues with their 16-port switch. Steer clear of it as I’ve read it’s been an ongoing issue with the 16-port switch only. I had to return it and go with 2 8-port switches.

Me too — my 16-port PoE switch will kill power to the ports when there’s a thunderstorm nearby. I orig. thought it was something with my Ethernet wiring but I’ve temp had two other brand PoE switches in for awhile and they had no problems. Folks on the community are reporting that Rev 13 boards don’t have the problem.I’ve also experienced some serious POE issues with their 16-port switch.

LOL... My 2 US‑8‑150W's were running about 60-65C before I added a couple of Noctua NF-A4x20 to each. Now they run 40-45C.

Some dude put a fan on the Easy Bake modems and made a few bucks selling retro-fit kits!

Hope folks read the details and understand that only 16 of those 24 ports are PoE (for the $379 120W model). I doubt many folks are going to spring for the $699 450W model where all 24 ports are PoE.Just go with the 24 port gen 2 if you are serious.
Exactly why that is what I recommended - for the ui name, unifi platform, gen 2 hardware with touch screen (yes it's a novelty but honestly, it provides you with a ton of info if you're interested), you can't beat the 24 port feature set at that price. It's also only $80 more than the 16 port (which only has 8 poe ports). So it's honestly a great value IMO.
