So my current setup is a Zyxel USG110 router going to a 24 port POE switch, and from that comes out my Unifi Gen 1 Cloud key and 2 access points. Am I understanding that this UCG MAX would replace my Zyxel, and Cloud Key? If so, can I transfer my customizations I made to my Zyxel to this as I have a static IP and need to access things within my network from outside?

hello first of all thanks for the great explanation, now, I succesfully installed 2 AP U6+, created the wifi network with windows controller, connected both AP from my PoE switch (connected to my zte isp router), everything works fine until multiple clients connects to the network, all clients can connect, but the internet is limited to a few ones, some ideas? thanks! (DHCP is enabled in isp router)

Can this be used outside on the side of a building with no roof overhang? It would be directly rained on.

Im looking for a setup for home security. Im thinking 7 cameraes. 1 dorbell and 2 wifi routers.. my plan is using a CG max 1TB and a lite 16 pos switch. then there is ekstra ports for internet in rooms aswell. does it sound like a viable solution??

Hey, thanks for the great video! For a wifi only usage would it be fine not to use the USW Ultra and connect the U6+ directly to the UCG Max?

Great Video... I never considered 10.1.*.* for the networks. Way easier to manage. Can you change them all after inittially setting them up and if so do you re configure all together in one go or do them one by one ?

Cool video, Thnx!

I upgraded to the UCG Max as I wanted the 2.5gb ports.... You can't LAG on Unifi gateways, so a UDMP was out of the question

Hello: I have set up an Access point u6+ from the mobile phone and everything is ok. I have configured it "stand alone", and I access perfectly from the Unifi app, but it has assigned the ip to the device 192.168.1.135 and I want to change it but from the app it does not measure the option and if I try to access from a browser to the address 192.168.1.135 it does not leave me although it does respond to a ping. How can I log in and change your IP address from a browser or from the unifi app on your mobile?

i'm interested in unifi for a while, but never they had such a small tiny gateway, they only hat gateway but needed a separated cloud key, i would get the non storage version of unify gateway max, the 2.5g is appreciated, the way i would use it for now since i get a free upgrade to fiver witch is 2/2g instead 1000/100mbit i got like 3 computers, 1 is a 24/7 radio online 2 is a gaming pc 1 is unraid nas with some dockers then i also have a qnap ts-763 nas wit ha 2.5g nic in it i have a hue smart hub , 2 home pod mini (basically as hub for eve smart plugs) several mobile phones, 2 ps5 steam deck 3 nintendo switches some speakers the access point will be probably living room witch is annoying from there to the following devices in the living room all connected on 1 cable with a switch to 3 on 1 spot with Flex 10 GbE 1 24/7 radio online pc 1 gaming pc 1 ps5 1 tv box from provider 2 kef lsx my bedroom (feeding 1 cable and then another Flex 10 GbE and a usw-ultra) 1 unraid nas wiith dockers 24/7 online 1 gaming pc 1 ps5 2 sonos era 100 1 sonos sub and then a wifi not sure witch yet all of these devices are currently wired connected because the build in wifi of my modem is so bad that my sonos can not stay sync my sonos is connected in stereo pair , sonos roam 1 bt receiver, and that drops the audio over eth to the other sonos i don't know if it can be in a much easier setup , but this is what i came up with

Did anyone else ever get a "sorry we cannot complete your call at this time please try again later" after going through these steps?

What brand NVMe does the Max come with?

We waiting for patrol since the 4 ptz

Great video.

Do we really need the NVMe SSD for a start if we not using Unifi Protect?

Hello, vey nice video. Please give me your advice: I currently have 2 Wifi 7 APs and a 16 port Pro Max Switch. I pretend por purchase a cloud gateway to truly take advantage of the Unifi ecosystem, and in the future probably I will get another 2/3 Wifi APs. I am currently upgrading my Internet fiber speed to 10Gb. What gateway do you recomend in order to talke advantage of the 10Gb at least for my desktop work station?

Why 1.5Gbps IPS, when the ports are 2.5 Gbps?

It's a cool device for smaller/home installations that want both UniFi Network + Protect, it's just unfortunate how much they're charging for storage, esp given they use relatively cheaper Kingston drives in them. It's also very disappointing that the no-storage variant does not come with a storage sled, preventing you from using your own drive without first buying one of theirs. It's a scummy up-sell tactic on Ubiquiti's part. I hope that changes in the future or they at least sell the sled at a reasonable price (it really should be included though). I'm waiting for some kind of UDR refresh (maybe a UDR Max) that I can easily recommend to friends/families, my home is already full UniFi but it's hard to recommend their current line-up for homes, at least if you need cameras too.

they forgot rule number 1, never give away feet for free

what do you need the storage for? what do you lose if you don't get the storage?

is there a 2.5Gbps switch with POE? I'm paying for 2000/2000, so don't want to limit myself to 1GbE

what network design tool are you using?

HI one question I know ubiquity sells option up to 2TB but I wonder if I get the none storage and I have a 4TB NVMe will it recognize it? I know some times some devices are limited on how much storage they can recognize

does it support the door access hub? great video btw, very helpful

Hi ,Can you use other switches with the UCG-MAX ?. I have 8 port netgear poe swtich and then convert my existing to asus router to access point via wifi or is it all proprietary to Unifi.

They have the 2.5g Max, now they need the 2.5g ultra switch.

I have the UCG-Max and U7 Pro Max on order - already have the 8-port Enterprise switch.. Perfect match with my Nuc gen12’s with 2.5G lan - looking forward to setting it all up. I currently have the gen1 Google wifi, which won’t cut if for my 1G wan and wifi 6/7 devices. Great video - keep em’ coming Bogdan :) greetings from Denmark

I'm so sad and disappointed to see this device. It would have been perfect, if it wasn't for its software suite which horribly lacks modern traffic SHAPING capability that other devices such as the Mikrotik routers via RouterOS, and Netgate via pfSense+, or EdgeRouter (UISP) offer out of the box. For me, to be unable to fine tune my own network traffic other than by setting hard limits is unacceptable. So I will never buy into this underwhelming ecosystem until Ubiquiti/UniFi ups its game.

i believe the NS $199 version will not come with the storage sled so you would not be able to put in storage unless there is custom built available in the market for cheap

Synolgy do NOT has 2.5GB connections, yeah you can connect both 1GB of the Nas to 2 ports 1GB on the switch and use one of the 2.5GB ports on the switch to connect to yours computer 2.5GB port, you will get 2GB ( 1GB + 1GB ) from the NAS if you have Multichannel active. The other option is to pay an arm and and a leg fro the Synology 10GB network adapter.

Ok, i find . It`s a new topic

Hi Bogdan, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Thanks to you, my network is now working great.

Hi. How you find the comparison table ?

The Max sounds like a great product if it could connect directly to the new U7 pro with 2.5 and power it through POE. Lacking this feature is a huge miss, which could have been solved if there would have been an Max Switch with 2.5 and POE. However that doesn’t exist either unless you want to buy enterprise at enterprise prices. The form factor of the 16 port switch is too large to match with the UCG max. People who buy maxes want to avoid needing a rack.

Perfectly explained, thank you very much.

I have the UXG Max and the Cloud Key 2 and the (not the Cloud Gateway Max). Is that an equally good setup? If not, why? Both devices together have 1GB more than the Cloud gateway Max.

I’m looking at removing my netgear mesh and going unifi my biggest concern is need one AP that is not wired back to the the network 2 AP can have wired backhall but one need to be in mesh mode and I want to keep all AP u7 is possible any ideas?

Been running mine for a few weeks. The downside right now is the lack of low end 2.5G switches in the Ubiquiti lineup to pair with it. The enterprise 16 switch at almost $500 is way too high end for most needs this gateway will be handling. (Home 1 gig internet / fiber.) Additionally my particular ISP would have preferred to drop straight into a fiber SFP which is not an option here, so I had to get a media converter SFP to Ethernet. The USW Ultra needs a 2.5G version. It’s a great option for distributing 1G and boatloads of PoE (cameras) but it’s a swing and a miss for high internal data rate while mixing in a 1G fiber connection. For most folk if they don’t need massive PoE, the Lite 8 is a better option because it’s Layer 3 and the Ultra is only Layer 2. Great box. It needs the supporting switch made.

Just one mention from my side. I run UCG Max for about some weeks now. Got it as it got out. This thing gets really really hot, especially on the side, where you see those ventilation shafts. What helped me was to position this thing vertically. But i ended up placing a noctua 120mm fan on that thing. Also: if you place it vertically the mini display will also turn. Thats a nice feature.

I have 27 mbps download. I want to replace my Linksys router what do you recommend? I also want to add cameras in the future.

Does it support more than 2 TB?

In case of CGU, when I enable IDS/IPS, I am limited to 1Gbps but is it a limit for each lan port, or on the wan?

✅Pick up the UX here: ui.com/cloud-gateways/express?a_aid=Apex If the UX is underpowered for you, check out the UCG-Ultra as a more powerful alternative: czcams.com/video/4ABFqd8hO4w/video.html

FYI, No-storage option for $199 out now: store.ui.com/us/en/pro/category/cloud-gateways-compact/collections/cloud-gateway-max/products/ucg-max-ns?variant=ucg-max-ns?a_aid=apex AND you can get buy a separate tray if needed for future upgrade with third-party NVMe. Sweet deal! More info: czcams.com/users/shortstj5S5r9umwg?feature=share

Might want consider the UCG-Max instead that was released after I made this video: czcams.com/video/e7VWdddMamw/video.html

🛑DON'T MISS THIS! Might want to consider UCG-Max released after this video: czcams.com/video/e7VWdddMamw/video.html And if you want to pick up the UCG-Ultra or UCG-Max: store.ui.com/us/en/pro/category/all-unifi-cloud-gateways/products/ucg-ultra?a_aid=Apex

What are those Ethernet cable/connectors that light up in blue?

I'm just wondering...since when it's not that much important to get Wi-Fi built-in... This is a good device, no doubts but WTF is wrong with Wi-Fi...that they don't put anymore in those extra devices but rather buy the Access Point extra and put it next to it. It would be an awesome way to put again All-in-One device, this would be perfect replacement of UDR if it had Wi-Fi built-in so it's All-in-One package. Maybe in the future...I'll still stay on a positive side...Ubiquiti is a King for me when it comes to Networking & Simplicity + Price/Products is amazing. 😊❤

Who’s terminating cables like that?
