Quote from: TheOnlyTwitch on September 02, 2025, 00:56:42Idk why I was expecting it, but I thought this was going to be some form on wired hotspot.

Like a 5G device you activate with Verizon and plug into your 1GbE / 2.5GbE / 10GbE port

5G = Cellular 5 Gigahertz Band (a band frequency, NOT a Measurement of Transfer speed.

5Ghz = Wifi 5 Gigahertz Band, NOT a Measurement of Transfer speed.

5GbE = 5 Gigabit Ethernet. Definitely a Measurement of Speed. 625MB/s

You're writer should move away from tech.

5G = 5th generation LTE not 5 GHz

We get your point, but it's the device name. If you're gonna s*** on someone, get your facts straight.

Damn, was really hoping they'd launched a 5G modem to Ethernet adapter which I could use as a failover connection with my UDM SE.

Ubiquiti charges $15 to ship a 38g adapter that cost $49 from their store in the US.

Ridiculous.

That's literally the name of the adapter. NotebookChat goes to some lengths itself to point out how silly this is, so it's hard to see how they can be blamed for it other than possibly not putting the name in "scare quotes" in the title.

It isn't a "5G" adapter, it's a 5Gig Ethernet adapter. Saying it's "5G" makes it sound like it's a cellular modem rather than an Ethernet interface.

Mostly unnoticed, Ubiquiti Networks has entered the 802.3bz/NBase-T adapter segment. This allows for multi-gigabit speeds of up to 5 Gbps (2.5GbE/5GbE) via a USB Type-C connection. The adapter is an alternative to Ubiquiti's larger and quite expensive 10 GbE network adapter.
