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.

  • The gateway listing can be managed by running the UniFi controller software in a Docker container on a separate server.

  • A faster WAN path is possible by using an SFP-to-Ethernet adapter on the SFP WAN port for up to 10Gbps.

  • A 10Gbps SFP-to-Ethernet link between floors can work well with UniFi switches and 10Gb uplinks.

  • The unit can be a good fit when buyers want a fanless, cool, quiet gateway while hosting UniFi software externally.

  • This product is the UXG-Fiber model and it does not include UniFi software built in, so it needs external management.

  • Overlapping gateway names can make it easy to buy the wrong UniFi Gateway model.

  • UniFi controller software can fail to start automatically, including when run in Docker.

  • Some SFP modules, such as H!Fiber SFPs, have caused issues and may limit IDS/IPS throughput to around 3.5Gbps.

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've never had an issue with running it in docker on a Linux box. Been doing this for years.

new to Ubiquiti here. Trying to upgrade from Asus AI Mesh. Like everyone else, I am eyeing on UCG-Fiber but it is not on sale. The price for the UCG-MAX and UXG-Fiber is pretty good.
Does it make sense to purchase both UCG-MAX and UXG-Fiber ? My thought is to use UCG-MAX as the controller and a managed switch, UXG-Fiber as the router.

Just FYI, this is not the "Cloud" gateway fiber, so no unifi software built in...
What do you mean? Mine absolutely has Unifi built in...

You have a UCG not UXG then... This is definitely tricky marketing on their part...

As long as you have a server with a docker or know how to run the Unifi software outside of the device I think this is the superior unit vs. the other one they're selling at the same price with the storage and software onboard. Both are good units and a fair price for the brand I'd say.

I run the Unifi frontend on my server in a docker/portainer so I don't need the box doing all the work to host the software, these run fanless/cool/quiet as well.

In for one.
