Literally just bought an Ultra two days ago and it's set to arrive tomorrow. It's my first Uni device, so I'm not too worried about it, but I would have gotten this since all the ports are 2.5Gbps alone. Guess I get to test it out for 30 days, return it if I like it, and upgrade. Lol
This is the problem with this company. They have no roadmaps on releases. It is very hard to predict releases. I am on the fence with buying the UDM Pro SE because I have a feeling in few weeks time, they will release a new one. But unlike Apple Inc, which the Ubiquiti is trying very very hard to copy, we cannot predict! Thank you so much for the heads up!
Almost every Unifi device I've bought for home or my church had a higher end model released less than a month after purchase. Ubiquiti has missed out on extra money by ending EA program and not providing said roadmap.
No different than the good old PC days...8086, 286,386,486, Pentium..... and you hated to buy one as you knew that the next generation would be released right after you purchased the older model.
I don't know too many hardware companies who are willing to commit to such a roadmap. See this for the reason why... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_effect
I bought it and love it. It’s in a remote location and it connects to my dream machine via VPN. The fact that the software presentation is the same between the Dream Machine and the Cloud Gateway Max makes it so wonderful. Ubiquiti really puts a lot of thought into their hardware and software.
I can't tell you how many of my friends family neighbors just need this box with built-in Wi-Fi and a doorbell and just some g 4 instant's I really wish they put Wi-Fi in there
I love UniFi. No matter what you buy you can always be assured there’s always going to be a new model released every few months that will include 1-2 additional upgrades that wouldn’t have made sense to be in one box from the get go. I’m pretty confident that the there’s no way they could make every port 2.5\POE, so it’s not like they’re clipping the products wings so that you’re compelled to buy another 1U box that they were able to figure it out with. I’m not mad at their greed just their short sightedness. Put all of the features in one unit and charge me the total of two boxes. Multi gig internet with 2 6ghz APs and 3-4 cameras isn’t an unheard of use case in 2024, but im sure it’s possible they didn’t notice this short coming. Also I’m sure its just made sense to use an external power supply with their 16 port switch because who wouldn’t want to pay for a extra kit to let it be mounted in the only place it makes sense a server rack.
This is great for residential implementations without breaking the bank. it is my hope the storage can be upgrade to at least one TB. Thanks for sharing.
I got my UCG Max yesterday - great device overall, but I have 1 complaint. It runs very hot - 75C on idle with just Network enabled. One note to people that plan to get the no storage version - I got the upgraded 1TB version and what they sent me was actually the no storage version and the nvme was a separate package. The no storage version does not have the nvme tray - it just has a plug for the hole. The separate package with the drive actually has the tray with the drive, so if someone plans to add storage later has to buy it from Unifi or they will not be able to just plug in a drive in the device.
What is the model of the NVME drive that is included? Do we know what gen PCIE it uses? Also, you can order it with up to 2TB, but is 2TB actually a limit, or could you put a 4TB drive in it?
Neither the UCG is available! I'm monitoring the Ubiquiti BR store and not see it available! Now at least I know I will have to wait more to a more powerful device.. And keep the pfsense box running at least it arrives!
First the Gateway Max (UXG-Max) and now the Cloud Gateway Max (UCG-Max) that look identical apart from the screen on the UCG-Max. That's not going to be confusing at all. Not surprised that they released a UCG-Max it was the model missing in the line up spec wise, feel for people who would have waited for the Max if there was a indication that it was coming but went for the Ultra instead. Suspect there'll be a fair few barely used Ultra's going on eBay etc soon.
@@_Trakman Hardware wise I think it's UCG-Max has a screen and a NVMe slot for storage where the UXG-Max doesn't. Software wise the the UXG-Max needs an external UniFi controller to run, where the UCG can run the UniFi network controller plus some other UniFi apps on it.
I wish they released all these gateways at the same time. Gateway Ultra. Gateway Max. UniFi Express. Is it fair to say this is a replacement of the Cloud Key G2+?
Looks like but ckg2+ has got 6 arm cores. Question is how to make protection app in separate VLAN. Ck2g+ you can use after managed switch and have VLAN
Bought mine this week to replace my UCG Ultra. Thinking about returning it because is 85 degrees celsius idle. UCG Ultra same day same place, 55 degrees celsius. Would you test temps Cody? Thank you!
I purchased a UXG-Max to replace my aging USG. Frustrating as I would have been interested in this to replace a bunch of equipment.... Are they making products obsolete with each new release?
I think this is a great addition to the UniFi product line. I just don't understand the differentiation between the UCG-Mac-NS (no storage) and the Gateway Max UCG-Max. They same like they are virtually identical other than the UCG-Max has the controller built in and NVR storage, but the UCG-Max-NS is not only $2 CAD cheaper than the UXG-Max, it also offers far more value, unless you need to run a separate controller. I don't get the pricing for these two. Otherwise, I think this pretty much a perfect 2.5Gbps router for the lower end of the UniFi line up. Hopefully we get a UDR replacement based on this hardware and either a Wifi 6E or Wifi 7 AP built in and 2 PoE+ ports with. Hopefully 5Gbps NBaseT models will come out in a couple years too. In the mean time we need more 2.5Gbps UniFi switches to complement these 2.5Gbps routers.
I would have loved to know that this was coming 2 weeks ago I just did a UDM for my sister because she needed the router U6 In-wall and four cameras. This would have done that job perfectly ( of course would have had to have a Poe injector for the in-wall but that is no biggie). Now I'm wondering if they're going to release one that is this but with Poe... that would be perfect for the home and small business folks.
I have the UXG Max and the UCK2. Seems to me an equally good combination. Both have 2GB RAM each so in combination that is 1GB more than the Cloud Gateway Max. Not sure though, if the is a sound comparison.
Using the Cloud Max with its respective M2 SSD can we save the configuration of our Ubiquiti Network? That is, can we do without a unit like the CloudKey +?
Does it make sense to use this over UXG-Max and cloud key? I heard this UCG-Max runs very very hot like 70-80 Celsius? How about cloud key on its own? New to this Unifi thing.
Your videos are very good. How do I access my camera network, for example by accessing it via opvn? I don't know if I need to create a route or firewall rule or both
Hi love your content. I’m new to unify together with this box what other gear will I need to hook up a couple cameras and an access point along with hardwiring couple other devices? Thanks
Can you create multiple Sites? or is this like the UDMs family? The Cloud Key UCK G2 Plus I can create multiple site which is a must for our installation.
Question... Is it compatible with other non-unifi AP'S? Im wanting to use it as a router for my existing Cisco AP's that are standalone and Microtek switch.
what kind of M2 ssd does it support that is capable to run Protect and doesnt fail in a year or two? what happens if I would replace my USG-3P and still keep my UCKG2 protect console?
In case I buy the no storage version, will I be able to add an m2 chip for NVR in the future or it doesn’t come with the storage bay? Is possible to configure a cloud storage to store camera recordings ? Thanks
Have you by chance tried doing a PPPoE connection on your Bell connection? if you use PPPoE passthrough and authenticate through the Gateway Max (rather than the Gigahub) - does it work reasonably well? or are you using DMZ on the Bell gigahub to achieve the speeds on your Bell connection?
At the moment I'm not interested in the NVR section. If I get it without the disk, can I add it later? Does the Network part still work without NVM disk?
if i want to pick this up but not ready for cameras/protect....can i purchase with M2 and use the networking portion of it, or does that required storage?
Just buy an AP. If they put a radio in there, then the device would run hotter (given that it also has NVME m.2 storage), and cost more. Probably would need a fan…
Hi Cody - I just upgraded to ucgmax and added protect cams to my home network. I want to give view access (both local and remote) for cams to trusted family members, and am looking for a clean way to do this. Would UID accomplish this, and do you know if it can run on the ucgmax? Ubiquiti site says nothing about this device in uid context, but that seems incomplete. FWIW, I'm also in Canada. If not, are you aware of other resources to guide me through this process?
Can one do a simple restore of a backup from a UDM Pro to get this running? I have my network fine tuned and setup exactly how I want it but would love to switch out the UDM Pro for the Max but I dread having to configure all my settings all over again.
“Third-party NVMe SSD installation requires add-on M.2 SSD Tray accessory”. They want you to buy the tray as an extra if you buy the version with out a pre installed disk :( I think that is pissing off the customers. The Dream Machine Pro doesn't come without a tray!
@@MactelecomNetworks I wish this was available a couple months ago. My UDR died and since they were out of stock, UI offered me two choice for a replacement. 1) A UCG Ultra + U6Mesh. Almost took it, but the UCG doesn't support Protect so I had to pass. 2) A UDM SE. Only issue with this is it has no Wifi so I also had to go buy a WAP. It's overkill for what I need, but this little guy looks like it would have been perfect since it runs everything.
Is it possible to connect a Synology DS1522+ to a Unifi Cloud Gateway Max via one of the Ethernet network ports to back up security images from the cameras?
"I probably wouldn't want to have animals recording..." The pet industry is insanely large and people spend more on their pets than people do on Ubiquiti gear. I can guarantee somewhere out there someone buys a full Unifi setup just so they can watch their pets at home and get alerts if they enter areas of the house they aren't supposed to.

Unifi is kind of shady with their releases. They're basically releasing small upgrades every couple months to products.

Thankfully that debate is over thanks to the ucg-max
No WiFi so you need to add an AP, no PoE so is hard to add an AP. The only to things I like is the two WAN and the size.

If we already have a UDM Pro, can the UCGM be dumbed down to be used as just a 2.5GbE switch?
Do you think it'll run a VPN (like NordVPN) well? I have an Express Gateway and the VPN speeds are much slower (7-8 Mgps) than my DM SE (100+)
The UDR if you could get it is $80 cheaper with AP and 40w Poe.

It is not. You have to use Ubiquiti cameras
Can you use netgear products with this?
Buying it
Can you recommend a setup for multiple ISPs , 3 ISPs , mainly for servers (Database)
The BIG question is, can you add DNS Blocklists in the router?
how is it different from the gateway max
Will this device have full VPN capabilities? How does ubiquiti vpn compare to a separate device like a firewalla purple vpn?
Can I buy one with no storage to start and just drop in a SSD drive when I’m ready to add cameras?
I hope they make some 16 and 8 port switch lite versions with 2.5 on them.
If this had Wi-Fi 7 built in it would be perfect
Neh, build-in WiFi can get absolete. Like what happend with the build-in WiFi 5 with the UDM-Base.
Just buy an AP. If they put a radio in there, then the device would run hotter (given that it also has NVME m.2 storage), and cost more. Probably would need a fan…
Can we use our own NVMe?
It doesn't state what NVMe SSD'Ss are supported. I have many laying around here. Could repurpose them.
unifi is the best
