Ubiquiti UniFi (UCG-Ultra) Cloud Gateway Ultra

Great to see these finally available in New Zealand! Have been slowly upgrading the networks I look after with these since the beginning of the year as stock becomes available and they're a huge upgrade over the previous USG 3P I had been using.

Great new management features and site-to-site VPN that max out my 450mbps upload speeds, and it's nice to be able to update firewall rules without a 5+-minute delay.

If you're a bit more of an advance user, or have a small business to support, and the means to purchase your network hardware in individual pieces then you can't go past one of these.

This has been perfect for my needs. Replacing a USG and cloud key and sitting in a 10inch rack with my US8-150W powering all my AP's This has been perfect for my needs. Replacing a USG and cloud key and sitting in a 10inch rack with my US8-150W powering all my AP's

I had to wait six months for the stock to arrive but when it did it is the perfect device for a home network. Easy install and now it is up and running basically looks after its self. Cannot recommend this product, more highly, for home network enterprise connectivity. I had to wait six months for the stock to arrive but when it did it is the perfect device for a home network.

This is an excellent addition to a home network especially if you already have a few Unfi products. I especially love the built-in VPN options, the content filtering and the ability to setup and enforce policies like time/speed/app/domain restrictions for devices. The Hotspot for guest or visitors is great and has stacks of options. It is small but very feature-rich and powerful. The mgmt console is rich and informative and easy to use, locally and remotely. With a subscription to a VPN service, you can integrate this into this gateway directly and have the VPN tunnel (Wireguard or OpenVPN) used for whatever LAN devices you want.

You'll need to figure out how to get public and private keys and other details related to your VPN service, but it works great once it's setup.
Cheap as chips when you consider all that it can do.

This is going in my new build home. Its near top of the range, while still being affordable.
Tts one of the models that support BGP with a bit of Cli work. The cheaper models are also good for general use, however I have specific things I want to do with networking.
This is the model most likely to get BGP setup with the GUI. Honestly? FRR CLI syntax makes my teeth itch.

Going the other way, to dream machines. They may offer more in a enterprise environment. For one thing they are rack sized.
They are not, however, any better for my use case.

Also Hyperfibre is a waste of time. So anything to support that is off the list. This is going in my new build home. Its near top of the range, while still being affordable.

Migrated from a USG3 (external Unifi-Application to inbuilt on the UCG-Ultra. That was abit of an exercise. But once across, it all seems to be good. The ability to turn on IDS/IPS (something the USG3 could not handle) has been interesting to delve into. Migrated from a USG3 (external Unifi-Application to inbuilt on the UCG-Ultra.

After struggle with my stock standard router I went all out on ubiquity and not looking back. Easy to install provide heaps more speed and reliability After struggle with my stock standard router I went all out on ubiquity and not looking back.

This replaced a USG 3P and works great! The WAN fail over is significantly faster, and the extra processing power means I can finally run full traffic identification and other features at line rate.

Dual WAN setup was more obscure than on the USG, it appeared to set it up automatically, but needed another 3rd party gateway network to be created before it would properly enable.

Using it for my homel ab, very easy to use and surprisingly quick to setup. Using it for my homel ab, very easy to use and surprisingly quick to setup.

I purchased this router to replace an older device that could not keep up with 1Gb PPPOE. This router has no issues, and I regularly get 900-odd Mb down and 600Mb up. It just works!!

Well priced unit to provide excellent internet when paired with other UniFi items. Well priced unit to provide excellent internet when paired with other UniFi items.
