“This is a dead-set ripper of a modem/gateway. Moving to a new office I needed something to manage my Ubiquiti WiFi AP's and also connect directly to my FTTP. This is the box. great price, easy to use, simple to manage, works perfectly.”
“An excellent product from Ubiquiti, who are leading the way in network inovation. Love their approach to Software Defined Networking (SDN). Very reasonably priced unit, as long as you do not need the other apps; this product only runs the Network app and the InnerSpace app.”
“Replaced a USG-3P and Cloud Key Gen 1.
After set up no issues. On NBN Wireless (75 Mbps down) so, as expected, full speed with full security. It’s an appliance and just works.
I gave 4 stars rather than 5 stars because of set up issues.
Initial connection via phone app and incorporation into an existing Unifi account is easy.
If transferring a configuration from a cloud key (gen 1 and probably gen 2) a ‘simple’ backup and restore of the cloud key as a whole (as opposed to a single site backup) is all that is required. However, there is an issue if your source cloud key has multiple sites. If using the default interface you do not get a choice and it automatically restores the default undeletable site, which is probably not the site you want. You have to change to the legacy interface (settings, system, advanced) before restoring, which then gives you a choice. This information is not readily found on the unifi site - its buried pages deep in community blogs Also, searching on ‘legacy’ does not bring up that option. You have to know where to find it.
Once switched to the legacy interface the restore is simple and existing Unifi devices automatically adopted etc.
I suggest that, in addition to the note about the power supply, a note about the need to switch to the legacy interface for restore from a multiple site backup be included in the package.”
“I am pretty impressed with the UCG Ultra to replace my USG Lite. I needed an extra couple of LAN ports beyond the USW-8-POE Lite I had fully loaded and the self hosting for a small home network was inconvenient. At the price it was hard to go past vs buying a gateway key and swapping out the USW for a larger port count. I I think the UCG Ultra with built in controller and 4 LAN ports is a good solution for setups such as mine. Recommended.”
