*** Correction: the UXG-Lite does NOT have any throughput reduction with IPS enabled (as per Ubiquiti).
8 years after my first USG video, Ubiquiti finally answers our calls with the release of the UXG-Lite, a.k.a. the Gateway Lite! This powerhouse packs 10x the routing performance of its predecessor and flaunts that sleek UniFi design we all love. But does it really live up to the hype? Join me as I take this new UniFi gateway for a spin to find out!
📦 Unboxing & Specs: Dive into the simplicity of the Gateway Lite - sporting a dual-core ARM Cortex A53, 1GB DDR3L RAM, and a streamlined port setup.
💡 Setting Up: Follow my journey as I set up the Gateway Lite using a Gen2 CloudKey and a UniFi 8 Lite PoE switch. Discover the ease and challenges of bringing this device into a UniFi ecosystem.
🔍 In-Depth Analysis: I tackle the burning question: where does the Gateway Lite fit in the UniFi lineup? With a focus on entry-level users, find out if this gateway is the right choice for your home or small business network.

As a UniFi noob who doesn't care about the history of the USG, this would be a perfect product if it just had a controller built in. I love the idea of a basic firewall that runs UniFi OS where you need to provide your own switches and APs. Like a basic UDM-Pro for much cheaper. The fact you need to add a controller kills it for me. UDR is great, but sometimes the AP doesn't get used as best as I would like due to non-perfect placement.

You ask who will buy this. Well, let me go back to almost the time of your first USG video, to me at the time. I needed a good AP, so I got an AP-AC-Pro. Then I wanted a PoE switch. And once I had that, I got the USG. It wasn't until later that I switched from running the controller on my PC to a cloud key. And since then the whole thing has been upgraded and upgraded until it's now a good and proper overkill solution :) Following some of the UniFi facebook groups, this is a common way to get into the UniFi system. Many people don't buy a whole new network setup in one go, it's one step at a time. I definitely see some users do the same path. This finally gives that option - it was getting hard to tell anyone to pay money for the ancient USG. However, I do think that you have a very good point about R2D2. It is a very good solution for home users, and even some small businesses.

It's perfect for a small simplified apartment setup and it's timely for me. I'm moving countries in December and downsizing. So I've just sold all my Unifi rackmount gear and older access points I.e. USG 4, 4 year old cloud key gen2+ with rackmount, 24 port PoE switch and UAP-HDs. I can mount the UXG-lite on a metal pin board in the utility cabinet with a fanless poe switch and run the unifi controller locally on a poe splitter powered Raspberrypi 5. Add in a couple of U6-mesh access points and that's my home network sorted for the next 5 years. Light, clean, extensible, no fan noise and modular if I do decide to upgrade any components.

Installed it today. Works like a charm. Replaced my USG3. Migrating from the USG to the Lite was easy. Performance with IDS/IPS enabled is perfect. I have a 1Gbit up/down fiber at home and with my PC using m2 SSD the speedtest is around 940Mbit up/down with IDS/IPS enabled. Sounds like a good deal for 140 euro's. I only need 1 WAN port and 1Gbit connection is fine. No need for more right now.

I think that this mid-level Unifi equipment is great for those that sit between needing a single modem/router and those needing a full rack mount setup (like me). I have a USG-3P, UCKG2, several 8 port switches and 2 access points giving wired and wifi in every room of our house. My frustration with this Unifi (and other consumer grade equipment) is that there is no manufacturer provided option to mount or tidy up this equipment. I note the setup in the video has three basic 'boxes', plus an access point. All of them are different shapes and sizes. I ended up 3D printing a solution for my setup, but I think most people looking at these solutions would be interested in the manufacturer providing a modular system to mount the hardware and wiring.

Excellent product. Been waiting for this. Perfect for the residential customer that doesn’t need a high-end router/firewall. A mid-level version with dual-wan is also desired. Something between 129 and 499. Maybe for $250 you get a 3-port version, an upgraded processor and RAM, and is 2.5G capable. 3 ports with LAN1, WAN1, and either LAN2 or WAN2 is very useful.

A 2.5 Gbps WAN + 4 port 2.5Gbps LAN with at least 1 PoE++ port (for a UniFi Flex switch perhaps) or an AP for $200-$225 CAD (so a little less than a UDR at $266 CAD direct from Ubiquiti, which accounts for the lack of a built in controller and AP, since I'd trade those features for NBASE-T, and perception would be that even with that, it should be less than the cost of the AP and controller). Even if it was the same price as a UDR, it would still be worth it as $300 CAD gets you a TP-Link wifi 7 router with 2.5Gbps WAN and 4x 5Gbps LAN right now.

⁠​⁠@@technerd9655with this at $179 CAN, that’s not going to happen. And with my experience, TP-Link and Unifi aren’t even remotely comparable. Had a TP-Link AC Wi-Fi router. Was supposed to be the fastest thing available at the time. It was, but only if there wasn’t any Wi-Fi congestion. I had 40 meg service at the time. It could max it out on wifi during daytime Monday to Friday, but any other time it was a disaster. As soon as kids in the neighbourhood got out of school and got online, it couldn’t handle the congestion. Performance plummeted to about 10 meg down. Friday evening through Sunday, I was lucky to get 3 meg down. It was so slow that I had trouble checking email. In the exact same circumstance, a Unifi AC access point dropped from 40 meg daytime to 38 meg at the worst on weekends.

My USG died about 2 years ago - couldn't find a replacement anywhere so I went an EdgeRouter X. I'm tempted to get the USG Lite so it once again matches all the other Unifi gear and has the 'One pane of glass' management but I am happy with the EdgeRouter. If I got the USG Lite I'd keep the EdgeRouter as an emergency spare I s'pose ... but this 'upgrade' isn't a priority now.

I just swapped out my Tp-link Omada ER605 with this router. The rest of my home network in Unifi CloudKey V2 with Unifi switches. Just disconnected the Tp-link router and connected the UXG-Lite and adopted it with the Unifi App on my phone.. The UXG-Lite assigned the correct ISPs for all the devices on my network but had a few that I had to power down and power back up and everything worked. My network speed increased and I like being able to configure the router from the controller. The Tp-Link router was used to replace the old UXG that failed.

Looks nice and all and I prefer to have everything separated that way I can just upgrade a set bit of hardware when needed. Sadly that Gateway wouldn't be fast enough to handle my connection here and its throughput. I am looking for a good setup for a +3Gbit connection, with a 10Gbit LAN, sadly there isn't much information that says how much throughput the devices can handle which was why I went with MikroTik for the router and its been great, but I do like the UI for Unifi's hardware. So I was wondering what Router you would recommend for an up to 10Gbits connection that can handle more than that throughput with firewall filters / rules etc. The router doesn't need to have Wi-Fi due to I already have the AP separate. Also what Switch(s) would you recommend was hoping to get 10Gbit link to each room and then a smaller Switch to handle devices in that room. So a MAIN Switch that has the 10Gbit link from the Router and multiple smaller Switches that connect to the MAIN Switch, so the the smaller Switches will have a 10Gbit Link to the MAIN Switch. So any recommendations ?.

Neat unboxing video. Of course we want more..... I have a USG. Can you do a video on how to upgrade from the USG to the UXG-Lite? Is it just a config backup and restore, or does it take more nuance to switch the devices? I have my USG hung vertically using the wall mount holes. Doesn't look like the UXG-Lite has that capability, so how about showing what physical install changes might be necessary for a wall mount.

Personally, I do still wish they'd embedded a few more ports on this device. I'm still running an Edgerouter X as my router, and while I do have a switch providing more wired ports - it's a very basic switch without VLAN capability, as I only need a few ports capable of VLAN tagging. Even adding the $30 Flex Mini switch bumps this to within spitting distance of the UDR.

@Famousfifty8
@Famousfifty8 6 ай бұрын
It is the same process as replacing a USG with another USG. You must first delete the USG from the controller as you cannot adopt 2 gateways to a single site, then you can adopt the new UXG and it will provision itself with all of the existing site settings. Obviously, some may have to re-route some things if you were utilizing the secondary LAN on the USG or something that is not available on the UXG model that was on the USG. You could prepare for that before removing the old USG though. Otherwise, very straight forward replacement.

@@OleJacobsen I am not sure if you have worked with Unifi controllers much, but the configurations are largely stored in the controller. The actual device configuration wouldn't amount to much besides having 1 less interface than the previous model which would have to be accounted for if you were utilizing that previously. All of your network configuration should stay intact, no matter the gateway that you install. I am sure there will be more coverage on this device in the future, but it has only been released in the United States for a week. This is just a simple overview of general features and a comparison to the previous generation's model.

I have a USG-Pro4 and i will probably upgrade to this, seems this uses 1/5 of the power of the USG-Pro4 (3 watt vs 15 watt) and is also a lot smaller so this, in contrast to the USG-PRO4 can be hidden behind my sofa. Also with the prices of electricity in my country, if i save 12W per hour, that is a saving of 100 kw every year, and that will equate to somewhere around 20-30 USD per year.

So, would it be possible to power this using a power splitter from the PoE port on my 24 port Unifi switch ? (The LAN port) I dont rememer if these splitters take up 4 of the wires exclusively for power making it only able to run 100 Mbit. if not, it would be awesome to be able to eliminate yet another power brick...

I feel like when Ubiquiti dumped the USG, it left a vacuum in their product line for their lower tier firewalls. Don't get me wrong because I LOVE my Unifi Dream Machine Pro, but for most small setups, those things are overkill! I think this Intel-NUC-sized firewall was long overdue. Yeah, getting that with separate devices costs similar to the regular dream machine, but as a former USG owner myself (my old USG died), I do honestly believe some people will appreciate the flexibility.
@Famousfifty8
@Famousfifty8 6 ай бұрын
Absolutely agree. They did come out with the dream router series, but they had built-in OS and controllers, which does those with large VM controllers managing a large quantity of sites no good. We would not be able to do any direct replacements and could not adopt these new devices. So it was certainly sending us into research mode looking for another non-Unifi solution for a while until these were released. Unfortunately Unifi supply chain is and always has been terrible so who knows when these will actually be in stock for any period of time.

I’d really like them to make a UDM Pro version the size and style of that switch. That’s the reason I haven’t moved away from my little pfsense mini box. I don’t need or want rack style equipment. I want to move to the Unifi system, I like the style of the 8 and 16 port white switches and the AP’s. If only they made something like the UDM to match the style.

Looking at this setup, I would not deploy it to anyone that has a lot of activity going on. However, I would use it as a teaching aide for anyone who wants to learn the Unifi ecosystem. It is a cheaper way to learn and could be a stepping stone for someone who wants to get into it. But as for real world use, I would be hard pressed to use this since it is limited on what it can do. But on one hand if it takes a shit, you can replace it a lot easier than the UDM Pro
