- The Unifi Cloud Gateway Ultra might just be Unifi best new device. The Unifi Cloud Gateway Ultra is great value for money and comes with the Network Controller Software integrated within the device making it possibly a better option than Unifi non-cloud gateways.

Short and Straight to the Point. Very nice. Would love some explanation about vlan security. Allow all is the standard?!
Thanks for the feedback and for watching! I’ll look at doing a VLAN video at some point soon👍
Worth noting the backplane limitation with this device, it has a 2.5 Gpbs WAN port but can never be fully utilized due to the single 1 Gbps link from CPU to the switch chip (the LAN ports). Also means the 4 LAN ports would share the single 1 Gpbs link to the CPU for traffic going across VLAN's. Might not be an issue but worth noting, especially with regards to the WAN port.
Good to know thanks and thanks for watching!
How can we find out more details about this 1 Gbps link? Is it on a data sheet somewhere?
Can Google 'cloud gateway ultra backplane issue'. The first couple of results are pretty informative, from Reddit and Evan McCann.
I got 4 rubber feet in the box with mine to stick on the base.
Did you? I haven’t seen that. Maybe it’s something they’ve added. Thank for watching 🙏
Thanks for the video. I was wondering if you know if this can handle a 900mbps internet connection? I'm pretty sure it does but I have seen some conflicting information causing me to have some doubts.
I’ve not specifically tested it on a 900Mbps connection but I don’t imagine that would be a problem especially as it has a 2.5Gbps WAN port.
Thanks for watching 🙏
I would like to have seen how to replace my old USG3 with this device on my existing home network.
It’s fairly simple. Forget the devices on your old controller, install the Cloud Gateway Ultra, then readopt the devices to it.
Or if you want to keep all your setting download a backup from you current controller, then install the Cloud Gateway Ultra and then finally upload the backup.
Great Viideo. But I still need to be convinced to put my Network Controller on an actual device. I like having a separate VM running (on my server) which I can easily backup or restore completely independent of the key Unifi Devices. If the Gateway crashes or corrupts and it holds the network controller. I can't just factory reset it, and pop it back into action. No, I need to recover the network controller etc ll first - and do it all via SSH or such. That was why I decided against the Dream machines. I loved the idea and prices of the Gateway Ultra but knowing it has it's own NC put me off. I'm not sure why Ubiquiti can't give us the option of running NC on the device or having it separate. It seems that all their products you have to choose based on the product and not the config. Also, One then cannot have more than one such device on the same site. Such as Point to Point VPN between 2 locations. they have to be on different sites ( well not actually sites as they don't really have sites as they are single site controllers) - And I know they can all connect to one Unif account but still can be convenient to have them on a single network linked by VPN. It's a shame the max is so much more $$$ as the Ultr has a great price point
I agree to a point but if you have your controller backed up then it’s fairly easy to factory reset and restore from a cloud backup.
We use servers for many of our smaller deployments and that’s great but it means you don’t get some of the features such as Teleport and Speedtest.
Like you say the price point is great so I can’t really find too many faults with it!
Thanks for watching 🙏
Is the Network app the only app that can run on this Cloud Gateway Ultra? No Talk or Protect? Given it has no added storage like a MicroSD card slot, it won't be running Protect, but how about Talk?
It’s only meant to be used as a router/gateway. If you want to use other apps, maybe wait for the UDR update, which I assume will be released soon with Wifi 7.
@hmt8701 is spot on this is just designed for network it is not a multi-app console like some of the other cloud devices. Hence the cheap price.
