Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra

My Virgin router struggled to keep up with all the devices in the house. Speeds dropped, some rooms had no signal at all, and streaming or gaming often cut out. I converted the Virgin router into modem mode so I could use UniFi, and the difference has been incredible. The connection is now faster, more stable, and covers the entire home without issues. Setup was simple and the UniFi app makes it easy to monitor devices, check performance, and solve any problems quickly. It is worth noting that you do need an access point to get the full benefit, which means the overall cost increases once you add the extra equipment. However, the improvement in performance and reliability definitely makes it worthwhile, especially for households with lots of smart devices or anyone working from home. The customization options are one of my favourite parts. You can tailor the network to exactly how you want it, set up different networks, tweak security, and optimise performance. Configuring everything is genuinely fun, although maybe that is just me. This feels like a real professional-grade network upgrade compared to standard ISP equipment. Very impressed and highly recommend it.

After my ISP told me that the modem/router that they provided was no longer supported, and that the replacement they were offering they wanted me to pay more than double than it was worth I decided that it was time to ditch the ISP supplied option and pick an alternate. As l already have some familiarity with Ubiquiti Unifi this is the solution that I have chosen. My choice meets my needs small office / home network that is based on Ubiquiti components that are all managed and configured through Unifi / Unify app. Perfectly good for internet connections that are fttc (an external modem is required for fttc). In my case I have chosen to use a draytek viggor 166 a the accompanying modem for this router. I'm consistently getting the maximum available connection speed up and down. I have also added the following to the router to complete my network setup. Ubiquiti 8 port switch that has 4 POE, two WiFi access points that are powered from the POE, and a Ubiquiti five port switch that is also powered via POE. To provide all the wifi coverage and network connectivity that I need. If you have fttp that is approaching Gb speeds then get the next model router up is a better choice.

I was previously running the gateway software on a raspberry pi. It was good when it worked, but periodically would crash corrupting my sd card. I decided to finally decided to invest in an actual gateway. I wasn't able to migrate my old configuration from a back and had to set it up from scratch. Other than that it has been amazing. My home network has been faultless since. The app gives easy access from anywhere. It has a built in speed test which removes the issues of testing through a client over the network. The display is cool and gives a brief overview.

Easy to setup and has lots of features such as optional enhanced security. For the price of this product it seems to have a lot of capability including functionality for a VPN server, firewall rules and to manage access points which i may end up getting to add to my network. Performance seems to be reliable and stable so far with added cloud management for remote management/monitoring .

This comes with a European plug. Products sold in the UK legally must have a UK plug or compliant adapter included.

Excellent piece of kit. Had ubiquiti kit for many years and when my previous router died, no hesitation in replacing with this. Why only 4 stars? It's supplied with an EU plug, even though it's for UK use. Which means extra expense in buying a charger and cable, but just as importantly I now have an EU charger and cable which will get thrown away. Why not follow the lead of the sensible and responsible manufacturers and provide the router with no included charger (and knock £5/£10 of the price) and give people the choice of using existing or buying the 'correct' one.

Superb bit of kit. I can now get the full line rate with this bit of kit.

Had an older USG that has run for years. Migrated to the newer one for as the older one no longer worked for VPN purposes. Having the cloud controller built in is fantastic. I had the controller running on a pi for years, but had issues with the SD cards failing for years after constant log writes. Super convenient to have it built in. Also, the older model running with IPS would kill internet speed, this one seems to have little to know bottleneck. Very happy.

Adatti per utenti esperti. Siccome non lo sono, con ChatGPT e un po’ di pazienza sono riuscito fare il 10% che corrisponde al 300% del vecchio router di casa. Indispensabile per capire cosa succede in casa/ufficio bisogna collegarlo ad uno o più AP Unifi per accorgersi di quanto siano indietro i marchi che avevo considerato top.

En stabil gateway som är mycket lätt att konfigurera. Det är lätt att sätta upp VPN både från mobilen och från laptop

Najlepszy router

My original (seven year-old) UniFi Security Gateway (USG) failed after we got a lightning hit nearby. I decided to "upgrade" to this unit. I should've done this a long time ago. This has been very easy to quickly configure, in fact, this happened while I was out of town and my son was able to make the replacement without any prompting from dad. But it very configurable and now I no longer need to have a computer as the management console. My phone has everything I need to manage my new Gateway's settings, VPNs, firewalls, network (wired and wireless) assets, data restrictions, switches and access points. The little live data flow display is handy for quick heartbeat checks.
