The Ubiquiti UXG-Max is a router/gateway designed for use in the UniFi network. It is equipped with 5 2.5G Ethernet ports, including 1 WAN port and 4 LAN ports. One of the LAN ports can be configured as a WAN to utilize services from two internet providers. The device features a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor clocked at 1.5 GHz and 2 GB of DDR4 RAM. It offers significantly higher throughput compared to the cheaper Gateway Lite. It supports numerous management functions, including QoS, internet failover, traffic segmentation based on VLAN, and a VPN server. The device does not have Cloud Key functionality; if you want to use cloud management, you need to purchase a Cloud Key or a UniFi Hosting license separately. The Gateway Max is ideal for locations where you want to create a network based on 2.5 Gb/s infrastructure. This is particularly important when using access points from the U7 series, which are equipped with 2.5G Ethernet ports.

UniFi Network

The offered product operates under the control of UniFi software, which allows centralized management of multiple devices from a single application. It is primarily designed for building complex hotspot networks consisting of access points but also supports monitoring systems under the "Protect" series. With UniFi, you can create an extensive network and then control it from a unified system. This enables quick and efficient handling of any configuration changes, hotspot settings, or firmware updates. The UniFi application is completely free, and you can download it for your computer or as a mobile app.

Powerful router

The Gateway Max functions as a router within the network. It is equipped with a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor clocked at 1.5 GHz and 2 GB of RAM. It offers significantly higher routing throughput compared to the Gateway Lite. The device enables you to create a modern, high-performance network while maintaining relatively low costs.

5x 2.5G Ethernet, USB-C port

The offered product has 5 2.5G Ethernet ports, including 1 WAN port and 4 LAN ports. One of the LAN ports can be configured as a WAN if needed, providing you with 2 connections for internet access. The Gateway Max will allow you to build a network backbone with a throughput of 2.5 Gb/s. This is important if you want to use modern access points (U7 series) with 2.5G Ethernet ports.

Power is supplied through a USB-C port, and the appropriate power adapter is included in the set. The maximum power consumption is only 9.6 W.

Usage

The Gateway Max is a good solution for homes and small offices where you want to use modern access points equipped with 2.5G Ethernet ports. The offered product will provide you with a 2.5 Gb/s throughput while maintaining an attractive price.

On the other hand, the device will perform well in extensive networks consisting of multiple locations, known as sites. The Gateway Max can be used as a gateway and router in a given site thanks to the implementation of SD-WAN and multiple VPN connections. This configuration is ideal if offices located in different physical locations need to connect to the main office.
