Currently back in stock. Showing $13 shipping for me. It's not on sale, but they are out of stock almost all the time.

I got one the last time it was available (very briefly!) and it arrived last night. I'm very impressed with the unit. It's a huge upgrade from my USG-3P.

For those not familiar this is a newly released, small form factor firewall. It's like the USG-3P but much faster (gig-rate with all features enabled like IDS/IDP). It does not have a WiFi access point like the Dream Machine. It DOES have a built in controller (like the Cloud Key), so that's very handy.

This is a write up I did on another thread:

It makes an excellent 1) firewall and 2) web-based managed controller for a home or small business. Can do line rate Gigabit Ethernet speeds with all protections turned on. It's most powerful if you also have Ubiquiti Unifi Access Points and PoE Switches to make a whole "system." Such a setup is way more powerful (and less expensive) than these crazy individual access points people buy for $200-300 each... with the Unfi setup, you can have many different VLANs and WLANs (wireless LANs) to separate out different types of traffic. For example, I have my home set up with at least four different VLANs and WLANs:

1) Main LAN where your laptops, PCs, phones, tablets, etc. go
2) IoT & "smart" devices that you want to reach the Internet
3) IoT & "smart" devices that you do NOT what to reach the Internet
4) Guests

That way if something "bad" happens in one VLAN/WLAN, there is a fair amount of protection & separation from the others (especially the "main LAN" where your more sensitive data is).

And, most of all, you can control where each of those VLANs/WLANs go... but by default they go everywhere... so if you need to have 2-4+ access points to get good coverage in your home, you can walk around and stay connected seamlessly. (And keep in mind that you really want to have a 5 GHz connection all the time vs. dropping down to 2.4 GHz... but 5 GHz does not travel as far and is more easily blocked by walls and such... so you usually need more Access Points than you would think.)

For $129 the UCG-Ultra is a very impressive device (at least in my opinion).
Good Deal?

Wow... sometimes they stay in stock for an hour or so, but sometimes it's only something like 10 minutes. Sorry to everyone who didn't get one this time... I never know how long they will last.
