Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Ultra (UCG-Ultra)

Finally ditched the Nighthawks, Decos, Alien AmpliFi, etc. Bought 2 Unify Pro 7 access points and this Cloud Gateway. Unplugged the Spectrum provided router and made the Gateway my router and firewall. The difference was night and day. Ubiquiti devices clearly work together very well and they even improved over time (probably refined the clients to the right access point). This is for a 5000 sq ft home. 400-600Mbs consistently. Gateway is sporting 1GB up and down from the fiber source. The UniFi Network interface is amazing! Easy to understand what's on the network and shows every kind of diagnostic with insights. It's worth the money!

Very solid product. This is a must-have if using Ubiquiti AP. It supports UniFi software ( like the cloud key but all-in-one gateway). UniFi is also nice, easy to use. It has all feature/data display on your phone make you feel the controls of your network. It has been running for a bit more than a year now. Zero issue. If I would say 1 thing to improve, it will be nice if it could powered by POE switch. I have a USW lite 8 PoE switch (4 PoE + 4 Ethernet port) which powers 2x U7 Pro and USW Flex Mini (5 ports). Total PoE usage is about 23W out of 52W. If UCG can be powered by the PoE switch, I will have less wiring. Price? Yes. It is more expensive than 2 WiFi routers. My setup is about $670 (UCG, 2x U7 Pro, and USW-lite-8-PoE). But, every ubiquiti product can last more than 5 years, unlike others only last about 2-3 years (usually because of weakened WiFi signals and end-of-life firmware updates). If you want a cheaper setup, try the "dream router 7" with additional AP (with a PoE injector). You could do it with $500.

Went from a TP link to this, wow what a difference, sorry but it was easy for me to setup and get online. The hardest part of the setup was figuring out my password for my UI account. What this allows you to control and monitor through the app is amazing. If you have ubiquiti hardware and want or need remote management this is the perfect piece of equipment. So far the stability is the same as the older hardware. The tiny screen actually has the up and down speed on it and thats pretty handy for quick troubleshooting at a glance and its a very clean box, but why can't they stick the feet on it?

I already had a couple of Ubiquiti access points, so it made sense to get a Ubiquiti gateway. I like that this one is fast, affordable, and hosts the Network app. (I used to run the Network app on an old laptop, and I'm really not going to miss that machine.) Setting up the gateway took longer than I expected, but it went pretty smoothly once I learned to navigate the app and find the settings I needed. I'm somewhat of a networking expert, but this was my first time setting up this brand of gateway, and some of the settings are buried in non-obvious places. The UI includes a huge number of settings to play with, and provides a ton of useful data. I can now troubleshoot and configure my network in all sorts of ways I could never do with my old router! Learning how to configure this thing takes an investment of time, but it's worth it. It's definitely not plug-and-play! It's a great gateway for small businesses or large homes, but only if there's someone willing to dedicate time to getting it set up correctly.

Great features for a router at this price point. Been flawless for over 6-months now. Needs some network experience to use full feature set.

We've had Ubiquiti networking pieces for a while now. It started with a couple AP's managed via a Raspberry PI, added an EdgerouterX when a prior Security Gateway turned out to be not so secure. With a local available upgrade to gigabit internet service, it's again time to upgrade for the higher throughput, plus this cloud gateway ultra bundles Unify the management tasks with some security functions the EdgerouterX isn't quite as good at. Instant plusses include no-subscription access to a listing of known-bad sites to block, with a few levels of filtering available. It also supports VLANs natively, a nice feature that lets me segregate business, entertainment, and guest access pretty easily. The Unify console manages more than enough Ubiquiti devices to support our SOHO operations with two separate professional service businesses operating out of our home. The capabilities list includes multiple options for VPN access, which when paired with the VLAN capabilities completely isolates the two businesses and the rest of our home needs. Al in a compact and low-power package that lives in my server closet. I'm still learning all the capabilities, but plenty of info and support is available through Ubiquiti's own support resources and a fairly robust online user support base. So far I'm pleased with how it's working and how easy it is to configure. If you are working on a system that demands security and performance well beyond what my ISP describes as, [cough], "robust", but don't care to go all the way to a Meraki or similar with a subscription model, this may be the answer for you. At barely over $100, it's a fraction of the cost of those Cisco options even without the subscription costs added on. After some of the hard-coded backdoor access options revealed in our last 'security' gateway, I'm a little skittish about a few of the other mid-grade pro-sumer options available now. After a few years with the Edgerouter, I'm pretty comfortable staying in the Ubiquiti product family, especially with being able to consolidate so many functions into the one little package. Are you looking for a more secure and comprehensive upgrade from typical consume routers and wifi products? Got a range of user access needs? Got a small to medium business where you want to closely maintain user access and security for both staff and guests? This may be your answer. It has been for us so far.

Works well as a router and to manage devices with the Unifi software management suite. I am managing multiple switches and access points. Allows great VLAN controls and with security controls. Have VLANs for IOT devices to isolate from main wifi network. Security and Filter controls are easy to configure. Great choice for an affordable SMB solution and for advanced home networks.

Really impressive. I’ve been able to manage my home network with so much peace of mind. However, if you’re not a techi, ChatGPT is amazing. Just share screenshots and your ideals and it will guide you.

Tres bon petit routeur, j'ai meme gagner un peu en debit sur le reseau local. Permet d'avoir la gestion des autres périphériques Ubiquiti dans une seule interface, c'est tres convivial à l'utilisation

Superbra, lätt att konfigurera, känns snabb och får bra hastigheter Viktigt att notera att denna är utan WiFi så man behöver AP för WiFi

Très bon produit. Performant et facile pour la configuration.

Delivery was perfectly on time. The router was properly packed, it works as expected and I am very happy about it. I would recommend this router to a friend.
