Deal Details
these were just released today and Ubiquiti is doing a good job of bringing them in and out of stock, if you want to buy one directly from Ubiquiti they are in stock right now. I think it's a pretty slick deal to have this device for less than $150. posting this because I know a lot of people have alerts and they may not even know this device was released today, I know I didn't.

1 Ethernet port on the back with no PoE. Not 4 like a typical router.
Gigabit Ethernet in (not 2.5gb) (many gigabit plans overprovision and you get 1.2 gigabits instead of 940 megabits using a 2.5gb port - 21% more internets for free!!

Make sure it is a good fit for you because a lot of homes I do tech help in have a Roku or smart TV or desktop or ip phone dongle or some combo of those so you need a switch or to buy something better right off the bat if you want a hard wired AP on the other side of the house.

This is good for apartments IMO
This guy knows what's up. Was about to post something similar.

Been looking for a USG replacement for my home. I have switch and AP and controller on my QNAP nas, so I guess I really just need the simple router part, Just wanted something that would run the IDS stuff, too. I guess this might not be it.

Why the need (want?) for a USG replacement. I've been using USG for 4-5 years, and I think it does everything I need it to do?

Basically. I haven't read into them yet, but right off the bat I'm wondering how these differ from the Dream Routers and why those are $50 more. Is it just for the built in POE switch ports?!
This looks to be more for very small and targeted business and home deployment.

The dream router can run one additional Unifi OS app on it (protect, talk, etc), can accept an SD card if you want to have a couple cameras doing event recording, and can power a couple of devices via PoE (it's basically a dream machine lite). The only area it really suffers is the CPU isn't super strong, so capacity for more than just a couple cameras for example isn't there, it limits you to only one other unifi OS app besides the network controller, and it struggles supporting internet speeds over about 700Mbps. It does support IDS/IPS. Reference the resource calculator for more specifics:
https://www.ui.com/cloud-gateways...calculator


This thing is just a Unifi network controller, router, and Wi-Fi 6 2x2 AP in one package. No camera support, no talk support, etc. Quick setup via bluetooth, and it's setup to prompt you right at the start to either configure it as a new network, or as a mesh AP. This thing basically gives me amplifi instant vibes, but running unifi controller instead. Also, this device does not support IDS/IPS.

I can think of a lot of great use cases for this device: small businesses with minimal internet needs (small store fronts specifically), small remote offices connected via VPN, easy mesh access point for a dream router/dream machine in a larger house since it doesn't need PoE and isn't designed to be ceiling mounted, remotely manageable network device for family/friends, etc.

The UXG-Lite is exactly what you're looking for then:

The USG tends to max out between 75-100Mbps when you enable IDS/IPS. Many users want this feature to support closer to Gbps speeds these days.

My USG has been (almost ) flawless for the past 4-5 years as well. The only problem that I have had was a bad power supply. I had a spare used USG that I got from a friend so I just used that one's power supply and was back up in 5 minutes.

I did buy a ~$8 replacement power supply off of Amazon.

I'm glad to see that Ubiquiti is putting out a couple of USG replacements in this price range. I was hesitant to get the Dream machine pro @ ~ $400 as it was way more device than I need.

Wrathre posted a good reason some may decide to upgrade.

Ummm, look at tech specs, it has wifi6 2x2, can be accessed via UniFi.ui.com, and is even able to be added to site magic. Not sure where you get this info from.
Apologies, was thinking of the UXG-Lite - different class.

Yet another new product still using 1g and not 2.5g ports. This is getting silly.

Get the GLINET Beryl AX, it's periodically on sale here and works great for travel.
What's a good price on these? Also portal login I assume you can use their device to log into the hotels login interface to start WiFi and everyone feed off of that?

If you are using 2.5gb, you aren't using it on this device. This is for small applications and travel even. You want 1+GB you will need to spend money.

If I had coworkers that wanted always-on remote VPN access, would this plus a dream machine on the office end suffice? I had been looking at Meraki for replacement for aging Cisco hardware (some users use anyconnect currently), but jfc it is expensive

you should edit your post. I almost stopped reading after it 😉

it's like they are trying to not compete with themselves and trying to set boundaries, but I can't tell what those boundaries are 😂
they are just turning people off at this point.

I'm guessing this cannot be adopted to an existing unifi controller? Works as its own controller only?

It can act as a wireless access point in mesh mode and be adopted to another controller that way.
