    Australian here, Crosstalk has been my goto for Ubiquiti for years too :) I'm here today because a workmate went out and purchased a UISP Router and Unifi U6+ APs. I'd not even heard of this UISP range so I'm researching. I'd have advised getting a Unifi router (USG Ultra seems ideal, assuming he doesnt also need a seperate cloud key?) but it is what it is.

    This video gave me anxiety. As someone who switched to Unifi Talk and then ported back out of it 2 weeks later, I've got to say that UB needs to slow down and focus more on each project. They have so many devices now that even watching Chris (who is always a wonderful explainer) break down the differences of the ULTRA line, it felt like "here's this one, oh and this one... now I knew you'd ask, so here's these three but don't confuse them with the two before the last two" lol. Great video Chris, and thanks for making it through this video without needing a drink - although now I do.

To be clear i don't mean area coverage which is in every spec. but max possible distance is missing! Appreciate your experience input ! If you ask U they just avoid this information and switch to depending on site conditions which is obvious, but lets assume site conditions are same for all 3 Units.

    Unify express lasted only 2 days in our household. Wifi is really bad. With 50 total devices (20 WiFi), it got so hot that I put it on a side for some extra airflow. UI very slow to load. I wanted to return it, but with 15% restocking fee and shipping, I sold it locally. Great device for parents if you want to manage it remotely, maybe something for family travels, but you don't want this as router for many devices or WiFi.

I have been looking at the UDM-SE and then saw the Cloud Gateway Ultra and Switch Ultra. Cost isn't the main issue, I am looking for the best overall option. I was looking at the UDM-SE as a way to power the three AC-PROs and replace the failed Cloud Key server. I would be open to any advice on going with the UDM-SE vs the Ultra devices. One of my concerns with the Switch Ultra is powering the AC-PROs. I have never used a POE switch in my home network so I am new to figuring out what will and will not work for the AC-PROs but I was assured the UDM-SE was more than capable.

    Trunk a couple of ports out to a switch for 2Gb, or even with failover WAN, you could pump out three trunked ports. I mostly talk HP/Aruba, but a link aggregation port group to other network admins. I assume Ubiquiti can do them. I'll find out when mine arrives and I start to play with VLANs, inter-vlan routing rules, link aggregation, see if it can do port mirroring, all that good stuff, check out the QOS options if any. This plus the switch I bought, even though I won't need it with a WAN that doesn't go close to 1Gbps let alone 2.5. Mostly want it to play with and to have something that can have failover to a mobile data bridged modem as a backup connection. Hopefully it can notify on WAN failover... I hear Ubiquiti lets you inter-vlan route by default and you have to add your own base any/any block rule to build on top of. Sounds foreign to me but I'll get used to it!

    fun fact the Express is the perfect travel router. I bought one set it up as its own router applied firewall rules and integrated it with site to site magic. Now when ever i travel i can take it with me and plug it into any Ethernet port and create my own network to phone home. Obviously you need to tune it so VPN protects all the incoming /outgoing traffic but this is simple to configure. Then when i get home from travel I just plug it into my switch and it will automatically grab updates similar to how the UDM line of products would.

    I’m glad you came back from the future to talk about the UDR, because the whole video I was thinking to myself “Wait, the UCG-Ultra is basically a UDR without the access point?” It kind of sounds like unless you have gigabit internet service, the UDR still would be the easier option, since your AP is built in, and the downsides (lower throughput) shouldn’t be a bottleneck with “typical” 300-600Mbps cable internet that most people here in the US have. I have gigabit fiber and bought a UDM Pro because of the limitations of the UDM/UDR, but now I could get the UCG Ultra for significantly less and still meet all of my requirements.

    @@CaptainAndy99 how common is dual WAN though? I mean in a home or small business setup that this seems to be aimed at. Is it a cell modem backup for flaky wired internet? Or are people carrying cable internet and fiber at the same time? In the US I just can’t think of how that would work (other than I guess backing up flaky cable internet out in the farmlands maybe) without costing a fortune and leaving one of the two services barely ever used. Like if your cable is flaky and you use a cell backup, why not just drop cable? Are there home office/small business plans that still charge by data throughput to where that unused backup might be fairly cheap as a backup but prohibitively expensive as a primary?

    It's a shame that they have dropped Spanning Tree in the Ultra switch. It's there in the Lite range, but not present in the Ultra (or the flex models)

    If you get more than 1 Gbps in the WAN using the 2.5 Gbps port - that will just add to buffer bloat on DL, where you usually don't see it.

    I need your guidance because I am new to UniFi network. I need only Network and I do not need any other apps. I have a 1Gb connection. I am considering either a Dream Router or a Cloud Gateway Ultra with U6 Mesh WiFi device. The Dream Router is not available, and it seems that the Cloud Gateway Ultra with U6 Mesh WiFi device would be a more powerful solution. What do you think would suit me better? Should I wait for a Dream Router to be in stock again or should I go for the Cloud Gateway Ultra with U6 Mesh WiFi device? Please advise.

    Great update, thanks. Some logic as to why they have a 2.5GB internet port with 1 GB user ports. It could have more to do with removing bottlenecks to provide concurrent bandwidth, not just port-specific. If I have two users wanting to pull data at a max rate that is a 2gb max impact on the gateway port.

    That would make sense, but it is still only 1gbe to the CPU. Unless you are downloading firmware to the device itself it's literally impossible to exceed 1gb no matter what

    This gateway is something i've been looking for. Now if i could only get a decently priced 2.5gbe switch to connect my PCs and NAS box together, I'd be jolly. PoE or not, doesn't matter as I have a PoE switch for those things that require it.

    My current home network setup is USG controlled by a CloudKey Gen2+ where I run Unifi Network and Protect from... If I upgrade the USG to the UCG-Ultra (which has built in Unifi Network) can I still run Protect (and possibly also Network) from the CloudKey? Would upgrading to UDR instead be better? I have 2 G4 bullets and 2 G4 Pros and 6 APs

    Man, I can't help but think that there is just a gaping hole in the market for a 2.5 GbE lineup in between this UCG-Ultra and the Dream Machine Pro. Having a faster LAN than WAN is really common and useful, especially for home and small business users with a NAS. There has got to be something in the middle between $120 plastic gigabit box and $380 active-cooling rack-mount 10 Gb metal monstrosity with integrated hard drive slot. Why should I need a damn rack in order to get a router that doesn't gimp my WiFi 6 & 7 APs made by the SAME COMPANY in terms of uplink?

    They are missing a gateway in their line up IMO. We've got the UXG-Pro and the UXG Lite. Both are good for multi site business that want to run off a single external controller. They could do a 4 port 2.5Gb gateway and call it the UXG and that would fill that segment nicely.

    I don't understand why they keep going backwards in functionality. My USG has 2 WAN and 2 LAN ports. The UXG seems to only have 1 of each and is more expensive. All of the new switches are still Gbe and apart from the ultra lube keep reducing PoE power budget with each new generation. You'd think they could improve the existing models as they go rather than launching new lines that clutter up the overall lineup given they rarely discontinue the previous lines.

I just need a unifi controller on my UXG Lite man like this UCG Ultra 😒😒 Although I have a unifi controller installed on the Proxmox server, it is convenient to have it inside the router , I think I made a mistake with my purchase.

    Glad someone else mentioned this. I’ll give crosstalk a pass as he’s a technician, not a network engineer. But it was still a made up concept. Forgot to mention, no it won’t make a difference. The purpose of the 2.5g interface is to support higher than 1g wans and prevents a wan bottleneck if the aggregate internet bound throughput on the 1g ports is above 1g.
