Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra

The UCG-Ultra delivers exceptional performance in a palm-sized form factor. Powered by a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 and 3GB DDR4, it easily handles gigabit routing with IDS/IPS, VPN (WireGuard, L2TP, OpenVPN), and VLAN segmentation.✅ Highlights:1x 2.5GbE WAN + 4x 1GbE LANFull UniFi integration (adopted via UniFi OS)Supports up to ~300 clients, 30+ UniFi devicesUSB-C powered; silent and fanlessIdeal for SOHO, MSPs, and lab environmentsIt’s a robust edge device for anyone seeking UniFi centralization without stepping up to a Dream Machine SE or UXG-Pro. Highly efficient and rock-solid for 1Gbps networks.

Was fed up of ISP provided routers being terrible, so decided to bring work home and configure my home network myself. This gateway is fantastic for building and managing your own internal home network. It is very intuitive with all aspects and has realtime updates on your network. Fantastic bit of kit.

Another high quality Ubiquiti router. Running Network, it receives frequent updates and just goes from strength to strength. Every feature just seems to work out of the box, and updates are much more stable when released these days compared to a few years ago.

For the price this router is amazing. It can comfortably route gigabit connections with IDS and IPS enabled. The build quality is excellent which is to be expected from a company like ubiquiti. I would recommend this product to anybody who has an Internet connection of one gigabit or less. It does not have Wi-Fi built-in. This is purely a router and it does that job very very well.

Had been using a network based version, running in proxmox. Which had been great and I later added the USG as my router.This version allows me to upgrade and have the software running on the device and is hopefully (seems to be) more reliable but also opens up more of the features, only possible when using the actual Unifi hardware.Important part for me was the ability to clone a MAC, so I can just add my ISP supplied fibre router MAC and it works, without having to ask the awkward ISP to allow it to be used. In my case there is no user/password, the router just self configures so long as the MAC is the one the ISP is expecting.

I bought this to replace both my parents' router and my own and then discovered I could VPN the two networks together with literally just one click! I've got redundant pi-holes! My mum can back up her photos on our NAS! I can see the CCTV on their porch! Dad's hosting a Wordpress site on a DMZ! Guest wifi! Smart QoS! The works!It's an incredible bit of kit and sometimes I'm embarassed to admit I've even teared up a little at how good it is.

Got this to replace an old USG-3P, the power brick (and possible USB stick) of which died. I had to change the DHCP IP range, but would otherwise just upload my old config from my self-hosted console, but I had to go through it's graphical nonsense, including coming up with a 12-character (temporary, I vainly hoped) password, skipping speed test, and accepting terms and conditions for a service I had deselected (the UI.com account). Sadly the user credentials for ssh must have changed and I was too lazy to search for them online.I'm not a fan of it forcing me to use the internal controller that's backed by a flimsy 16GB eMMC, I expect it will limit the lifespan of the device significantly (though it shouldn't be worse than the USB key in the USG it replaced), but I guess that's a good thing for Ubiquiti, and probably something I can give up hoping they will change their minds about.Restoring from my old console was a challenge. When you go to your UCG's website, you're presented with two independent UIs: One, represented by a round AP icon, is the controller. The other, represented by a rack mount server icon, being the "device UI" that you generally don't need to do much with. When restoring from the restore menu in the controller UI, there's no feedback that a restore is in progress, but it will work eventually. The 12 character password you picked earlier is still in effect, it doesn't restore the old password, but surprisingly all my devices were adopted quite quickly, even though the inform URL clearly changed.The display showing number of connected clients, etc, is gimmicky and a waste of money, that could appropriately have been used on screw holes to allow wall mounting.All that said, the migration was an hours time with minimum outage and it's nice knowing I now have add'l headroom. When I update my other USG, I should be able to use wireguard between the two sites instead of IPsec (through SD-WAN, site-to-site VPN still only offers IPsec and OpenVPN).I hope, but don't trust, that this router will last the six years that my old USG did.

Quality, easy to set up, works really well, looks great and discreet. Coupled with ubiquiti's seamless software and security, makes for a substantial product.
