Community Reviews

The UniFi Gateway Fiber is a fanless, quiet 10 gigabit gateway that makes sense when you already have a separate UniFi controller or can run the management software on a server or in Docker. It is praised as a solid router for fast WAN setups, including SFP to Ethernet links and multi gigabit fiber service, with IDS and IPS throughput around 3.5 gigabits. The main catch is that this is the UXG Fiber, not the UCG Fiber, so it does not include UniFi software built in and needs external management. The overlapping model names make it easy to buy the wrong unit, so the naming deserves close attention.

Common Questions (4)

  • No. This is the UXG-Fiber, which needs an external controller or management software; the UCG-Fiber is the version with a built-in controller. If you already run UniFi software on a server, Docker, or a NAS, this model can fit well.

  • Yes. UniFi management software can be run in Docker on Linux, Windows, Synology, or Portainer, and it has been used that way for years. The main practical caveat is that the service may occasionally fail to start automatically.

    jhillyerdpapaswedineTbl5143ALS

  • The naming is easy to mix up because UXG-Fiber and UCG-Fiber look similar, but they are different products. The UXG-Fiber is the gateway-only model, while the UCG-Fiber includes the controller/software built in.

  • Yes. An SFP-to-Ethernet adapter on the UDM Pro's SFP WAN port can provide up to 10Gbps, so a full replacement is not necessary for faster WAN service.

Just FYI, this is not the "Cloud" gateway fiber, so no unifi software built in...

I was thinking about posting this as well but ultimately decided not to as it's the UXG-Fiber (needs something external to manage) and not the UCG-Fiber (which has a built-in controller). Something to keep in mind if you're thinking about purchasing this

ah shit, I jumped the gun on this one. I take it it'll still function unmanaged, yeah? Should be able to manage it through truenas, yeah?

It's pretty easy to stand up a docker container to run the management software, I've been doing it for years on my low end Synology NAS.

Thanks for pointing that out, almost ordered it. Hoping for a deal on the Cloud.

What is considered the upgrade for UDM Pro? Looking to get something with faster WAN port as UDM pro is limited to 1gig. Though the UDM Pro has been solid thus far.
EDIT: looks like the Pro Max is the step up with 2.5 WAN port.

If you need a faster WAN port on the UDM pro, you can just get an SFP to ethernet adapter for the SFP WAN port on it that will let you do up to 10Gbps. You don't need a whole new unit.

Yes your right. I completely forgot, I tried the H!Fiber SPF a while back and had tons of issues. Looks like IDS/IPS throughput 3.5 Gbps but should be fine with Google fiber 3gig. Just not sure its worth the $30 a month when bandwidth is not over utilized.

So basically you are running the same controller as software vs. the built-in with the cloud version? If so, any upside/benefit?

That's seriously confusing. I think they do this to the other gateways too.

Be very careful buying Ubiquiti products. Seems pretty easy to buy the wrong one with these overlapping names.

It runs the same. I run it as a software on my windows server. Only problem I run into is when it fails to start automatically. I've heard the same happens with Dockers sometimes.

I have a 10GTek sfp to Ethernet running from a UniFi switch in the basement to a 2.5Gb UniFi switch with 10Gb Ethernet uplink on a different floor. Works great and I haven't had any issues with this brand.

Oh they absolutely are banking on people picking these up "cheap" thinking they're getting the full feature UCG fiber... 😒
