Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Ultra (UCG-Ultra)

The Ubituiti Cloud Gateway Ultra is such an amazing product! It connects to your ISP very perfect and it has been quite stable for everything I need it to do. It looks pretty clean and is fairly easy to use. It is very stable and powerful while being very versatile. Would recommend if you feel like doing your own home network setup.

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.

Great brand, value, and numerous accessories. Super easy to install/set up using their app which auto-links to the device using bluetooth. I have the device in the cellar and a U6 Mesh (POE, not plugged in) on the main floor which provides coverage for the whole house and even to the outdoor patios. Beautifully designed and even the packaging shows they have left nothing to chance.

Have extensive IT experience but didn’t want to spend an arm and a leg on a dedicated firewall such as Sonicwall or similar, plus those can get troublesome after/during broadband outages, when replacing broadband routers, etc. This device worked flawlessly and even those with no tech experience will appreciate the simple setup. There’s also an optional security service you can purchase and add to the OS (yes, got that after install). I would like some additional LAN Ethernet ports (8 would be perfect) but I added a switch and Eero to complete the setup. Please note that this is WIRED ONLY. The device is smaller than my Ring alarm base station and has a pretty small footprint. Overall highly recommended based on feature-set, optional add-on security service, performance and price.

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!

So far this router has been rock solid. I do not use the cloud management feature and think the initial setup may have been slightly tricky, but I'm used to their older edge router units, so that was not a big problem. I used this to replace a D-Link VPN Router DSR-250V2 which would require a restart every couple of months and finally failed to connect with the WAN port. This unit and built in management software are very nice and most important - reliable. The front panel LCD could maybe be more informative, but it's already way more than simple blinking lights.

I've never been a huge fan of the unifi routers they have historically always been security prone nightmares. When your in a pinch these are amazing for getting you up and running very quickly. They do the job just wouldn't use them for anything past a home or very small business. Anything past 15 employees it's time to start looking for a real enterprise setup not enterprise lite like Unifi. As with all Unifi stuff it looks very pretty! One of if not the best web interface of any ecosystem in current IT landscape. It's simple to use has a few nerd nobs not enough to scare a new person away but not enough to keep most IT people for long. Pros // Cheap Can do the 1Gb IPS it says "give or take a few mb" Pretty GUI Took them a few years to stop responding to SSH and ICMP on the WAN interface but it's fixed now. Did not require that stupid web account! Can run local hell yeah that's how it should be. Use the remote stuff if you wish. \\ Cons // Running a container on the edge. Horrible firewall rule set configuration talk about confusing. Permissive rules by default! If your controller dies "this devices" you loss 100% of control over your network. Ok for home not for business. \\ Overall it's actually not a bad unit wish it had 2.5Gb nics on all ports but that's the next version up which I will move to to when a decent 16 port 2.5Gb PoE VLAN capable switch exist that doesn't kill the wallet. A few do exist but are well above the reasonable price for home use devices. Would love to see UniFi come out with an updated version of the 16 port lite.

Can be used as a passthrough on the A&TT Fiber Modem. Works as described. Perfect for Home use to mimic an enterprise environment!

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.

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

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.

This is one of the best home / SME routers I have used - it is easy to setup, has enterprise level features, and offers excellent value. The first thing that struck me about the Cloud Gateway Ultra was its size - it is about 150mm square and 25mm deep. And on the front is a very small screen to display essential information without having to look at the console. It feels and looks like a high quality item, and won't look out of place in a living room (it doesn't like a bit of IT kit ... for one thing all the ports are on the back!) Setup was a breeze (although at this point I must admit to over 20 years experience in this field of work ... ). It really was as simple as plugging it into my Virgin Hub 5 (setup in modem mode) and and switching it on. It took about 5 minutes for it to complete its self setup and get online. Despite the easy setup, this router is not really aimed at a typical home user. If you don't need the advanced features of this router then there are probably better alternatives. However, if you want something that gives you complete control over your network setup - VLANs, port forwarding, DHCP and lots more - then this is worth a look. Management is via a local web interface, cloud console or mobile app. This makes it easy to manage both locally and remotely, and gives excellent visibility of network performance. Integrated with Ubiquiti's own range of wireless access points, this router has everything even the most demanding home user or small office could wish for.

Maintain the status that has been established.
