Do you think Ubiquiti have killed off any other items?
Can we get SMS token authentication in guest portal. In higher end model it has
Has anyone tested this in Twentynine palms?
Hi Nice informative walkthrough of Tp link devices. Thank you. I am thinking of having motion sensors and smart plug from Tapo. is it possible to use in the following scenario? 1. Govee Light strip plugged to Smart Plug from Tapo. 1a. Govee Light and smart plug are added to Google Home. 2. Tapo Motion sensor together with Tapo hub are connected. 2a. Tapo motion sensor picks up the motion. 3. Triggers the following automation in Google home only applies between 10 PM - 7 AM Motion detected--Turns on Smart Plug for 2 min. Motion not detected--Turns off Smart plug Delay Action 4 min.
do i need a cloud key gen 2 when using cloud gateway ultra?
No you dont.
Don't buy this stuff if you live in the UK. The returns process is done by sending stuff to the Netherlands. Your products get customs charges for returns! This stuff is garbage! I was offered instore credits to cover the customs charges! I will not be buying more items to send to the Netherlands! Very poor customer service.
Ouch this doesnt sound fun. I haven't had to return anything in the UK yet. Doesnt sound like I want to either.
Thank you so much for the video! I don’t know why your videos have not come up on my youtube homepage in a long while
Hopefully they come up more now. Keep commenting! 🙌
How do these compare to other options on the market now in 2024?
Ubiquiti now states the “Max” too only packs 3GB DDR4 system memory just like the “Ultra” and NOT the 4GB as previously. Weird.
I would hope the Max can function just fine with 0 NVMe storage or NVMe storage that has gone bad. My experience with the Unifi Cloud Key+ is that the disk is _absolutely required_ for proper function. If the disk fails the whole unit fails. This is a major flaw in the design of the CloudKey+. The fact that mine shipped originally with a cheap, discontinued Toshiba disk didn't help. It lasted 11 months then quit. I had to install a new disk, reinitialize the CloudKey+ and recover my configuration--not good in a 24/7 commercial environment. I think Unifi failed its customer base by discontinuing the CloudKey Gen2, which didn't have that failure point.
My hope & guess is contrary to yours. I dont want something wearing out to be non replacable like emmc. When speccing a base model without a NVMe drive it mentions absolutely nothing about storage, unlike other gateways with non replacable storage which do have it specified.
Hello! I can give you something better
gust used this to upgrade old unifi gateway (small box with Raspbery PI key) to unifi unifi gateway ultra 100 working.
Yea but that app have a lot of delay for a gaming fps game it not worth it
I love the look of this but, when would you ever need to use a power bank? I mean, how often are you away from an electric socket? I have another Anker power bank but never use it as I can always charge my devices when at home, in the office or when away, when I get to the hotel?
I might just go ahead and get one
3:30 why should you not add your own storage, they literally sell an empty unit as well - bruh of course you can insert your own nvme
Ubiquiti: "Here, we will grace you with 1.5 Gbps of throughput. No need to thank us. That's an entire HALF gig more than the Ultra!" Consumer: "Bro, I didn't expect 10Gbps from this small device, but I at least expected 2.5Gbps. What you think you Apple now or some shit?"
Ubiquiti: “Yes exactly, we are the Apple of networking/security products”
It is 2.5 Gbps - however the caveat is that is without IPS.
thanks useful info and will be very interested to see full review when you get one! If you can upgrade the NVME using 3rd party devices this will be very good! I'm just about to venture into Unifi! What would you say would be a better option if only planning to run network and protect? Ultra + Cloudkey+ + u6 pro or max + AP? Both will need switches for POE any recommendations other than ultra? Shame they didn't add one POE port
Cudy New 4G LTE Cat 18 WiFi 6 Router, Up to 1.2Gbps 4G LTE Modem - Can I use this on my Star Link ?
Floating Mount is for the Ultra too (and the UXG-Max)
Good to know 👌🏽
Would you add the Cloud gateway max into your set up?
My VLAN tagged devices all broke after this update. Erratic connectivity... any idea? I can't even restore any of my weekly backups they all fail. Ugh Ubiquiti why..
very professional insights, thank you for sharing~~
Thank you 🙏🏽
Love the express, but I find the processing slow. You gain wifi but everything in the UI takes long to load and it also takes a while to reboot so just keep that in mind. They are great for small deployments though.
Agree, it takes sometime to reboot and to do updated but small offices with few people and site magic makes it perfect setup at low cost or even just a small home office with minimal needs
I have dual-WAN, so it was obvious which one I'd go with just as a starter unit. haha Decided to look around at options since I'm getting tired of IPFire/PFSense/ClearOS/Smoothwall/etc -- I've tried every gateway OS on the open market, even Microsoft's old Forefront, and everyone at work raves about Ubiquity so I'm going to give them a shot just for the wife approval factor alone when I'm trying to explain things 😅 If I enjoy the Ultra Gateway I just ordered, I plan to retrofit my whole home lab over time, and since I currently use Eero's in bridge mode, I'll probably eventually migrate those as well once I get to know all the features and such. Guess we'll see what happens! Thanks for the excellent video, loved the side-by-side comparison between the two devices since I almost went for the Express instead just to test it out, but the Ultra meets our needs a lot more closely.
Awesome, you wont look back, but Ubiquiti is an expensive hobby haha. Good luck more videos coming soon :)

Nice video, thanks. The device I was after was the UDR. Unfortunately, I it has turned into a rather rude education in what appears to be the global Ubiquiti supply chain madness. The UDRs are impossible to find anywhere other than what appears to be a few retailers who are asking way over the official MRP. I am in Australia and even the distributors here have no idea of when they’ll see them again, from Ubiquiti. In fact, I have heard in the rumour mill that Ubiquiti have changed the UDR product name to be Unicorn Dream Router, they’re so hard to find. I am now having to buy a UCG and U6 AP to do the job the UDR was going to do. I have also decided to look for an alternative vendor for SME and residential networking clients, as a result of the craziness I have witnessed from Ubiquiti with their approach to product design, manufacturing and distribution. I simply cannot trust them, currently.
Yes!!! More unifi!
What other videos do you want to see? Or just anything UniFi
nice thank you
Welcome 😊
I just got one after some debate. And it sure is amazing as your video shows! It's quite cool being able to watch the battery charge up so quickly on my 94w MacBook charger. I got it since my MacBook Pro is older and has a weak battery. Now I can go out with this and be able to last longer if I don't have access to an outlet.
Which one are you buying UniFi Express or Cloud Gateway Ultra? Purchase here: Cloud Gateway Ultra: amzn.to/3Yl9x9V Unifi Express: amzn.to/3S5Y8qv
I really do like the look of the gate way but sadly I wish they used the switch from the udr or edge router 4 because I really like to power my access point from them
True, if the ports were POE this would be good and make it more desirable. Nice and easy to plug in an access point.
In sub-100Wh battery banks, I care about the input speed more than output speed nowadays, as almost all recent power banks now support enough output wattage for fast-charging smartphones & tablets. (You really wouldn’t wanna charge a laptop with a power bank) Also I want no USB-A and more USB-C ports! A perfect power bank for me would have at least 4 USB-C ports, and an input of 140W ✨so it can charge itself fast⚡️!.. (more is welcomed for sure)
So where was country restriction moved to?
Havent dug any deeper yet but ill take look.
Security / General
It's finally here. The ability to host all features of UDM and disable NAT altogether allowing you to front your internet connection with an alternate router/firewall. Something like pFsense, which is a far better firewall anyway. You could then trunk your internet through your UDM WAN port and keep all the functionality of Unifi/Protect etc Took them over 4 years, but it's finally here!! A Video on NAT and Translation would be great!@
+1
Do you think they kept its closed this long because they thought this would happen? People will bypass the gateway features of unifi
Possibly. Disabling Nat was always a feature of their Ubiquity routers. People have been asking for this feature for over four years. There see many reasons why disabling Nat has benefits if you wanted to place pFsense in front of the UDM. Even though the UDM is getting some great features a lot of their ad blocking and other features are a little fire and forget. There is not much output and you certainly can’t tweak the settings of you get falls negatives. I used to run pFsense. It’s excellent. I would certainly consider placing a pFsense box in front of my UDM. Much more granular control
Thanks for continue making this videos
🙌🏽 keep engaging..
Thanks, great video. If you could do a video of how NAT works would be great, thanks
Sure! Coming soon
been looking for this. Everyone just reviews the ultra.
free or paid??
Are crossover cables needed still for attaching two switches functioning as 2 LAN/WAN? Im having some connectivity issue on AP's with the daisy chain switch to switch.
I like your review video, it's really clear!
Glad to hear that!
Thank you for this video! I had a hard time removing the spinner, not knowing I was supposed to turn it in the other direction.
Nice Video - Thx! I still prefer the Ultra from a looks perspective. The Mesh looks dated and the Ultra provides more versatile options in terms of indoor deployment 👍🏻
The newer design fits better into the eco system
fake asf just tried it
Nice video , I am missing the intro you used to have
Thanks, that intro no longer exists anymore unfortunately
👍
Can devices be charged while power bank is plugged in?
Very helpful! Great content! Thank you!
You’re welcome
What do you mean you can't do both at once, because you can! I just opened mine and mopped and "hoover" at the same time. 6:54
