Your Network, Redefined: All in One.
Say goodbye to cluttered server cabinets and complicated setups! The Ubiquiti UCG-MAX is the answer to the challenges of modern networks. This compact powerhouse consolidates the functions of a high-performance router, a next-gen firewall, and a full-fledged Network Video Recorder (NVR) into a single device. Instead of multiple individual components, you get a central control unit that manages your entire Ubiquiti ecosystem – from switches and access points to cameras and door access systems – via a single, intuitive interface. This not only saves space and power but also significantly reduces the complexity of your setup and makes it future-proof.
Multi-Gig Speed & Reliability for Your Business.
In today's digital world, a fast and reliable internet connection is crucial. The UCG-MAX is perfectly equipped for this: With a dedicated 2.5 GbE WAN port and four additional 2.5 GbE LAN ports, you are ready for multi-gigabit internet connections and lightning-fast internal data transfer. One of the LAN ports can even be reconfigured as a second WAN port, allowing you to benefit from Multi-WAN with load balancing and failover. This means: higher bandwidth and maximum reliability for your Network, even if an internet line fails. This keeps your business always online and productive.
Security Meets Surveillance: UniFi Protect Included.
Protect what matters to you! The UCG-MAX not only offers a powerful IDS/IPS Firewall with a throughput of up to 2.3 Gbps but also integrates the complete UniFi Protect application. Thanks to the pre-installed 512 GB NVMe SSD (expandable up to 2 TB), the UCG-MAX serves as a full-fledged NVR for your UniFi surveillance cameras. You can store, manage, and access video recordings anytime from anywhere. This way, you always have an eye on your premises, and your network is optimally protected against threats – all from a single source.
The Heart of Your UniFi Ecosystem.
The UCG-MAX is more than just a router or NVR – it is the central nervous system of your entire UniFi setup. It runs the full UniFi application suite (Network, Protect, Access, Talk, Connect) and can effortlessly manage over 30 UniFi devices and over 300 clients. Although it does not offer integrated Wi-Fi or PoE, this is a strategic advantage: you can flexibly choose and upgrade your Wi-Fi Access Points and PoE Switches according to your needs, without having to replace the entire gateway. This ensures maximum scalability and future-proofing for your network.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Comprehensive all-in-one solution for routing, firewall (IDS/IPS), and NVR in a compact device.
- Pro: Multi-Gigabit connectivity with five 2.5 GbE ports and Multi-WAN for high speed and reliability.
- Pro: Central management of the entire UniFi ecosystem (Network, Protect, Access, Talk, Connect) via a single interface.
- Note: No integrated PoE or Wi-Fi – separate UniFi Access Points and/or PoE Switches are required.
- Note: Maximum IDS/IPS throughput is 2.3 Gbps, which could represent a bottleneck for internet connections over 2 Gbps with activated security features.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the Ubiquiti UCG-MAX and what is it used for?
The Ubiquiti Networks UCG-MAX is a compact Network Cloud Gateway that serves as your central Network controller, Network router with Network Multi-WAN functionality, advanced Network firewall (IDS/IPS), and UniFi Protect NVR for UniFi Protect IP Cameras. You use it to manage, secure, and monitor Networks in small to medium-sized businesses or demanding home environments.
What ports does the Ubiquiti UCG-MAX offer?
Your UCG-MAX has a total of five 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet Switch (GbE) RJ45 ports: one dedicated WAN port and four LAN ports. You can reconfigure one of the LAN ports as a second WAN port for Network multi-WAN configurations if needed.
Can the Ubiquiti UCG-MAX manage UniFi Protect Cameras?
Yes, your UCG-MAX features integrated NVMe SSD storage (512 GB by default, optionally up to 2 TB) and supports the UniFi Protect application. It can record and store video footage from compatible UniFi Protect IP Cameras, thus functioning as your full-fledged UniFi Protect NVR.
Does the UCG-MAX support Multi-WAN and Load Balancing?
Yes, your UCG-MAX supports Network Multi-WAN with Network Load Balancing and failover functions. This allows you to use multiple internet connections simultaneously to increase bandwidth or ensure your connectivity in case of a line failure.
Does the Ubiquiti UCG-MAX have integrated WiFi or PoE?
No, your Ubiquiti Networks UCG-MAX has neither integrated WiFi Access Points nor PoE Injectors / Power Supplies ports. To provide WiFi Access Points functionality or power PoE Injectors / Power Supplies devices like UniFi Access Points, you need separate UniFi Access Points and/or Ethernet Switch es or PoE Injectors / Power Supplies.
How does the UCG-MAX differ from the UCG-Ultra or UDM-SE?
Your Ubiquiti Networks UCG-MAX is more powerful than the Ubiquiti Networks UCG-Ultra, as it offers 2.5 GbE ports, higher IDS/IPS throughputs (2.3 Gbps vs. 1 Gbps), and integrated UniFi Protect NVR storage, while the Ubiquiti Networks UCG-Ultra is primarily a pure Network router/controller. Compared to the Ubiquiti Networks UDM-SE (UniFi Dream Machine Special Edition), your Ubiquiti Networks UCG-MAX is more compact and affordable, but does not offer 10 Gbps ports or integrated PoE Injectors / Power Supplies Ethernet Switch ing like the Ubiquiti Networks UDM-SE, which is designed for larger or more demanding rackmount installations.
