Amazing!!

This was a replacement to my USG.So glad I purchased this upgrade.Wish I had done it sooner.It was very easy to setup basically plug and play.

Another great Ubitiqui product

Having already owned a few Ubitiqui products getting the Gateway Max up and running was a breeze. No issues so far and everything is working as expected.

Great Unit

Small, low power consumption, but immensely capable when used with other compatible hardware.

Great router for SOHO

This router works well with other Ubiquity Unifi devices including managed switches, wireless access points and network extenders. This router is fast.The self hosted server app works well on a Windows 10 pc.What isn't clear from the product description or BHP tech support is that the 2.5 GB ports adapt to 1 GB connections and that this router can replace an older Ubiquity UniFi router by plug and play. All that is needed, is to replace the new router on the gateway connection and adopt the device. Once you adopt the new router you get a message saying you can't have 2 gateways. Then just go and forget/remove the old gateway router from the app and re-adopt the new gateway router. Give it a bit of time and all the settings will be automatically applied to the ... MoreThis router works well with other Ubiquity Unifi devices including managed switches, wireless access points and network extenders.

Great upgrade from EoL USG-3P

Upgraded from Ubiquiti USG-3P that was end of life and suffering ethernet port failure from lightning power surges and/or age. The UXG-Max is much faster in line speed and general processing for IDS packet inspection. I turned all the fancy IDS features off on the USG so it is nice to get that information and features for my network. The new UXG max runs much cooler and is barely warm to the touch compared to the USG which was cooktop hot.

I'm in love with this gateway

I love this router. I did have some initial challenges adopting it and getting everything configured to work correctly behind my RG but I think that is more due to my skill level than anything wrong with the router. Speeds were slow at first but I found the expected ISP speeds setting which fixed that. One of the main reasons I purchased the Max to work with my Ubiquiti access points was that I coud have several virtual WiFi networks with their own VLAN's and different DNS addresses and it all works perfectly now.

Satisfied - does it's job

Once I got used to the ubiquity software, it was fairly easy to set up and it's doing what it's supposed to do. Between this device and the access point I bought earlier, I was able to remove my all-in-one Asus Wi-Fi router.

UXG-Max

Got a UXG-Max to replace an old USG-3p. The replacement was pretty easy and Ubiquiti support was very useful. You can ask all the questions before doing the replacement.The only tricky part is that you need to keep a laptop connected to your admin app so you can remove the old gateway from the network and adopt the new one.
