Your Network, Your Rules: Centralized Control Made Easy
With the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra, you take full control of your Network. This device is not only a powerful router but also your integrated Network controller. It eliminates the need for a separate Cloud Key and allows you to centrally manage all your UniFi Access Points and switches via a single, intuitive interface. Ideal for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and demanding home users who want to efficiently manage over 30 UniFi devices and up to 300 clients, without the complexity of UniFi Protect or Talk.
Unbeatable Security for Your Digital Home or Office
Network security is more important than ever today. The UCG-Ultra offers you a comprehensive suite of protection features. The IDS/IPS Firewall with 1 Gbit/s throughput actively protects you from threats, while Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and application-aware Layer-7 firewall give you detailed insights and control over your data traffic. Whether it's VLAN segmentation or the integrated VPN server – you are well equipped. This Security Gateway is perfect for internet connections up to 1 Gbit/s that simultaneously require advanced threat defense.
Always Online, Always Fast: Multi-WAN for Maximum Availability
Downtime is not an option. The UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra ensures an uninterrupted internet connection in your network with its Multi-WAN capabilities. Use the dedicated 2.5-GbE WAN port and configure one of the LAN ports as a second WAN port for Load Balancing and failover. This way, you benefit from increased reliability and optimized bandwidth. Your network remains stable, even if an internet connection fails.
Compact Performance with Smart Power Supply
The compact design of the UCG-Ultra belies its immense performance. Powered by a Quad-Core Processor, it reliably delivers Gigabit Routing and all necessary functions for a modern network. Power is conveniently supplied via USB-C, making installation flexible and straightforward. A suitable power adapter is, of course, included in the scope of delivery, so you can get started immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the main purpose of the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra?
The Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra (UCG-Ultra) serves as the central routing and security gateway for your UniFi network. It combines the functions of a router, a firewall, and a UniFi Controller in one compact device to manage and protect your network.
Can the UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra fully utilize multi-gigabit internet connections?
No, the UCG-Ultra cannot process multi-gigabit internet connections at full speed. Although it has a 2.5 GbE WAN port, the IDS/IPS throughput is limited to 1 Gbps, and the internal backplane limits downloads for individual clients in your network to approximately 1 Gbps, even when security features are disabled.
Does the Cloud Gateway Ultra support UniFi Protect (cameras) or UniFi Access (door access)?
No, the Cloud Gateway Ultra exclusively runs the UniFi Network application. It does not support UniFi Protect (cameras), UniFi Talk (VoIP), or UniFi Access (door access systems). For these functionalities, other UniFi OS Consoles such as the Cloud Gateway Max or Dream Machine Pro/SE would be required for your system.
Does the UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra have integrated Wi-Fi or PoE?
No, the UCG-Ultra has neither integrated Wi-Fi nor PoE ports. It is a pure router and controller for your network. For Wi-Fi or PoE power, you need to add separate UniFi Access Points and/or PoE switches.
How many UniFi devices and clients can the Cloud Gateway Ultra manage?
The UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra can manage over 30 UniFi network devices and more than 300 clients in your network.
How is the UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra powered?
The UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra is powered via USB-C (5V DC/3A). A suitable power adapter is included in the scope of delivery, so you can use it directly.
