- With the release of the UXG-Lite a lot of people are going to want to migrate to leverage the features of the newest gateway, but what about the other gateways and how does the internet failover work for a single WAN device with the LTE, let have a look
The USG-XG-8 is classed as a Legacy device and i could not justify the cost of one for a EOL device so its not in this video
As of the 2/12/23 the USG3 and USG-Pro is now calssed as a Vintage device by UI, this means it will still get critical updated but no new features and no new products

Thanks for the Video - i just performed the Migration from USG3 to Gateway lite. I was working like a charme.
Thank you Clear and concise
Simple enough process and explained well. Cheers
Thanks for the super clear explanation of the LTE unit.
Quick note of caution, if you run your network on a different subnet from 192.168.1.*, be careful that you need to first change the network settings in your new UXG to the correct subnet. Otherwise the above steps do no work.
Thank You. I came here to ask that. What are the steps to setting the network subnet? Do you do that prior to forgetting the USG?
This is what I was thinking .. I think an easier way is to add a new site .. with correct subnet and then just move the uxg to the correct site after the setup
It’s so nice to see all the new ubiquity products coming out and at my home I am still running a first gen ap and first gen cloud key with a edgerouter 4 I think it might be time to pull the wallet strings tighter and lower the children’s pocket money for a while and upgrade my setup after being layed off work
I have had a usg 3 in my house for the past 6 years , and was thinking of upgrading considering either the uxg lite or the udr. In my situation with a 500mb internet connection the udr would be a better fit, its only slightly more but includes a 4x4 wifi 6 ap and 4 port 2 poe switch. I can still use my exsisisting 8 port swifth and ap ac lite as a sefond ap to extend range .
Well reasoned and sounds like the right fit for you
Let's hope the USGs don't reach EoL too soon, many people are still using them and they work fine, so it would be a shame to just make them e-waste.
USGs are already legacy, so they will move to vintage soon I expect
I assume if you don't have a backup connection the process is the same and you should just expect to lose connectivity to the internet...(of course)
Hi excellent video - it caught my eye as I've been used a USG 3 for a number of years albeit with copper connectivity to the internet and therefore only receiving 50Mbps. I have recently had fibre installed and with a 900mbps connection coming into the the USG I was only getting circa 110 Mbps internet feed through the device - I've bypassed the USG and used the router from my service provider and I now get 700 - 800 Mbps - I cant wee anything in the USG that would throttle this so much or is it just the capacity of the USG 3 ?
The USG3 can do 1gbps with no DPI and threat management but it's not ideal, time to replace with a UXG-LITE
There is no option to remove the router before I add a new router. There are only two options for the existing router. Locate and Restart. Maybe because it is a newer OS. What to do about this?
Can you use the UXG-Lite if your using an old cloud key gen 1 running software version 7.2.97?
ooooo how did you get your hands on one of them!! - I've been looking around and nobody in UK seems to have them....
The EU store will still deliver to the UK so long as you don't mind the wrong plug
As usual, out of stock! Oh well, no early xmas prezzie for me :)@@JimtheITguy
@@TechRealityGlasgow Broadbandbuyer have them in stock £150
@@leechambers4429 Many thanks for that heads up @leechambers4429, that’s me ordered one up!
HI Jim, thanks for the clear explanation; in my case I am replacing the ISP modem/router with an UXG-Pro but still have to keep the modem/router in pppoe passthrough mode (acting now as just a modem). When I plug the (non-adopted) UXG-pro into the ISP modem's WAN port (with just my laptop in the LAN port) I am able to connect the UXG to the Internet but then (after my successful unifi acct login) it starts searching for a cloud key, so I then plug the LAN port into the main switch where the Cloud Key gen2 lives. At that stage the UXG reports that its LAN port is disabled. I've tried that several times with the same result. Could I be some kind of loop protection? Any other idea?
Sounds a bit odd, have you tried adopting it first with all the correct settings and then swapping the internet connection over, is your ISP router handing out the same IP range that your LAN is using? Feel free to come over to the discord and ask away
Thanks for the video, good info but what happens to the configuration? Is this method going to migrate the configuration from a USG 3P to a UXG lite? I got the new UXG lite but I am afraid of migrating if i have to reconfigure the UXG lite from scratch
The config will come over if the settings are in the Unifi Controller
Did you migrate your USG-3P to your UXG-Lite? I'm about to do the same thing but a bit nervous. As the other fellow said, all the config stuff is held by your Cloud Key Controller. So did you do it yet? If so, was it really just a matter of Forgetting the USG-3P and while it's resetting remove the ethernet cables, connect them to the UXG-Lite, power it up and wait for it to pop up in the Dashboard for adoption and away you go????
@@Verminator151029 yes indeed, it's that simple,
@@JimtheITguy Well, okay. Hope it's not too good to be true......will give it a try I gueas...
What I'm trying to find out is if there is a limit on the number of APs and switches this supports like the UX?
Only limit is the controller, this theoretically can do as many as you like
@@JimtheITguy that's great to hear. I'd liked the idea of the UX until I heard that limit. I'll swap it my USG with the UXG Lite then. Thanks.
I'll be the first !! WAIT you have a VRTX ?
Yup, its on my list of things to do videos on
They are nice boxes! Used to work on them lots.@@JimtheITguy
I thought I recognised that box! It’s unfortunate Dell dont do them anymore and are replacing them with “Sled’s” (not the same thing at all) used to sell lots of VRTX’s to small business or ROBO sites
Questions For a LTE backup ,
#1 do you need to buy a 4G sim from your mobile / Cell provider.
#2 the 4G mobile plans ive see require a monthly payment 10 - 50 euro, if your main broadband is down for 2 hours a year this dosen't make financial sense
#3 are there "only pay for what you use" 4g plans out there
1. Yes 2. You can get low data Sims quite cheap 3. On the UK you can get pay as you go data Sims
Hi Can the uxg-lite run on bt business fibre broardband? would you still need to use a seperate modem?
Yes it can so long as its an FTTP connection
What power adapters are you using.
See links in description
gateway lite uxg-lite worth getting if you have the dream router?
No as you can't use it along side
So the LTE Pro will work with a cloud key and a UXG light ?
Yup, just needs a Poe switch
@@JimtheITguy nice do you know if the flex with a 60w injector is enough to power this and the cloudkey or do I need to rip out my 8-150 from my current cellar :D
@@BR0KK85 it should be, CKG2+ is around 11w and the LTE is only about 4, the UXG is around 4w also so you can plug an AP into port 4
@@JimtheITguy oh yeah the LTE can to pasthrough Poe to so I can have a tiny setup in my flat.
Thank you and you have great videos :)
To make the UXG lite a successful product/replacement for the UXG3 they need to introduce a cloudkey lite. The UXG lite doesn't work with the cloudkey gen1, so you need a cloudkey 2 costing around €200,-
If you are setting up a new network from scratch it's even worse.
UXG lite ($129) Cloudkey gen2 ($199) Switch lite 8 POE ($109) total $438,- and then start adding the AP’s. You can buy a Dream machine SE giving you twice the CPU, Storage and memory for $499,- so I do not see the business model for this device. And you can’t use it with an old Cloudkey gen 1 so people who are upgrading there old gateway pro 3 probably also need to buy a new cloudkey. Of course you can run unifi from a Raspberry, but that is not what you want for a stable network.
So I also don't sea a option for a product placed between the UXG lite and pro, because pricewise this will exceed a UDM PRO SE setup.
why would you buy a USG pro rather than a Dream machine pro?
You would buy a UXG instead, but only if you wanted a hosted controller
