UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra

The UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra is an absolute beast for its size. Setup was quick and seamless, and the performance jump compared to older gateways is huge. Routing is incredibly fast, UniFi OS runs smoothly, and remote management is effortless. It handles multiple VLANs, CCTV networks, and high-demand traffic without breaking a sweat. For anyone invested in the UniFi ecosystem—home or business—this is a fantastic upgrade. Small, powerful, silent, and extremely reliable. If you’re upgrading from a legacy Cloud Key, this is a massive step up and absolutely worth it. Highly recommended.

This is one of the best home / SME routers I have used - it is easy to setup, has enterprise level features, and offers excellent value. The first thing that struck me about the Cloud Gateway Ultra was its size - it is about 150mm square and 25mm deep. And on the front is a very small screen to display essential information without having to look at the console. It feels and looks like a high quality item, and won't look out of place in a living room (it doesn't like a bit of IT kit ... for one thing all the ports are on the back!) Setup was a breeze (although at this point I must admit to over 20 years experience in this field of work ... ). It really was as simple as plugging it into my Virgin Hub 5 (setup in modem mode) and and switching it on. It took about 5 minutes for it to complete its self setup and get online. Despite the easy setup, this router is not really aimed at a typical home user. If you don't need the advanced features of this router then there are probably better alternatives. However, if you want something that gives you complete control over your network setup - VLANs, port forwarding, DHCP and lots more - then this is worth a look. Management is via a local web interface, cloud console or mobile app. This makes it easy to manage both locally and remotely, and gives excellent visibility of network performance. Integrated with Ubiquiti's own range of wireless access points, this router has everything even the most demanding home user or small office could wish for.

Solid bit of kit and a good fit for a UniFi setup. It keeps the network tidy and gives a useful central point for managing things.

Good, but some feature such as domain based policies are quite unreliable. Great UI and ease of setup, be aware this version lacks some more in depth monitoring that the more expensive versions have.

If you’re looking to buy one of these, you probably already know the unrivalled potential of Unifi hardware to transform your home network. This is where you start - with a Cloud Gateway Ultra. I wont repeat the benefits of Unifi here (it would take too long), but you really wont be disappointed. This thing feels premium straight out of the box. It’s beautifully made and feels solid. It’s also small compared to most ISP routers, so if you’re looking to use it to replace your bulky ISP’s router, this will be an excellent solution. It doesn’t look out of place in a lounge (i.e. it doesn’t look like a horrible piece of IT kit) and you could easily hide it away somewhere if you wanted. Setup is a breeze, too. The display on the front is pretty cool but also tiny, so it’s pretty useless unless you have perfect vision. The Unifi app provides all the stats you need and more anyway. Another minor point, but it ships with some tiny sticky rubber “feet” which you have to peel off and stick on yourself. I’m not sure why Unifi expects its customers to effectively complete the assembly process for them, especially for such a premium product, but this is a minor point. This has 4 PoE ports in the back, but if you want WiFi you will need to buy additional hardware (or use your existing router in AP mode) but again, if you’re looking at Unifi, you probably already know this. Buy this. You wont be disappointed. (Photo shows the gateway sat next to my old outgoing Vodafone router so you can see how discrete it is).

Great bit of kit, wish I'd bought one sooner. A great addition to my home network.

The UCG-Ultra delivers exceptional performance in a palm-sized form factor. Powered by a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 and 3GB DDR4, it easily handles gigabit routing with IDS/IPS, VPN (WireGuard, L2TP, OpenVPN), and VLAN segmentation. ✅ Highlights: 1x 2.5GbE WAN + 4x 1GbE LAN Full UniFi integration (adopted via UniFi OS) Supports up to ~300 clients, 30+ UniFi devices USB-C powered; silent and fanless Ideal for SOHO, MSPs, and lab environments It’s a robust edge device for anyone seeking UniFi centralization without stepping up to a Dream Machine SE or UXG-Pro. Highly efficient and rock-solid for 1Gbps networks.

I had an old Cloud Ken Gen 1 and replaced both it and an old TP Link router with the Cloud Gateway Ultra. All went very smoothly.

Really impressive. I’ve been able to manage my home network with so much peace of mind. However, if you’re not a techi, ChatGPT is amazing. Just share screenshots and your ideals and it will guide you.

Tres bon petit routeur, j'ai meme gagner un peu en debit sur le reseau local. Permet d'avoir la gestion des autres périphériques Ubiquiti dans une seule interface, c'est tres convivial à l'utilisation

Muito bom o produto

Superbra, lätt att konfigurera, känns snabb och får bra hastigheter Viktigt att notera att denna är utan WiFi så man behöver AP för WiFi
