Your UniFi Network starts here: The Cloud Gateway Ultra
Do you want to enter the world of UniFi or optimize your existing setup? The UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra (UCG-Ultra) is the perfect starting point and the beating heart of your Network. This compact device is much more than just a Router. It is a full-fledged Security Gateway that protects your Network from internet threats and gives you full control over your data traffic. At the same time, the UniFi Network Controller is already integrated, so you don't need a separate Cloud Key or software installation on a PC. Simply connect your UniFi Switch and Access Points and manage everything centrally via a single, elegant interface.
Enterprise-Level Security for Your Home
Don't be fooled by its small size. Inside the UCG-Ultra, a powerful engine enables enterprise-level security features. With the Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDS/IPS), the Gateway analyzes Network traffic in real-time and blocks malicious activities before they can cause damage – and that with a throughput of up to 1 Gbit/s. Create detailed Firewall rules, segment your Network with VLANs for more security, or use content, country, and ad filters to keep your Network clean and secure. Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) also gives you deep insights into which applications and services are used in your Network.
Maximum Flexibility with Multi-WAN and VPN
An internet outage is not an option? No problem. The Cloud Gateway Ultra is a full-fledged Multi-WAN Router for small businesses and demanding home users. Simply configure one of the LAN ports as a second WAN input and use a second internet line for fail-safe Failover or Load Balancing. For secure access on the go or connecting locations, state-of-the-art VPN technologies are available. Whether it's ultra-fast WireGuard, proven OpenVPN, or the ingenious Site Magic SD-WAN for seamless connection of multiple UniFi Gateways – you have all the options.
Compact Powerhouse: Quiet, Efficient, and Powerful
The UCG-Ultra was developed for the modern workplace and smart home. Its polycarbonate housing is not only robust but also compact enough to fit anywhere. Thanks to the completely fanless design, it operates absolutely silently. With a maximum power consumption of only 6.2 watts, it is also extremely energy-efficient, saving your wallet and the environment. Power is supplied modernly and flexibly via USB-C, and the small LCM display on the front provides you with the most important status information of your Network at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Ultra provide WiFi?
No, the Cloud Gateway Ultra is a pure security gateway and router without an integrated WiFi function. For a comprehensive WiFi network, it must be combined with separate UniFi Access Points (APs).
Is the UCG-Ultra suitable for an internet connection with more than 1 Gbit/s?
Only to a limited extent. Although the WAN port supports 2.5 Gbit/s, the routing throughput with activated security features like IDS/IPS is limited to approximately 1 Gbit/s. More is possible without these functions, but the 1-GbE LAN ports limit the speed for individual end devices on the Network.
Can I manage my UniFi Cameras with the Cloud Gateway Ultra?
No, the UCG-Ultra exclusively supports the UniFi Network Application. For managing IP Cameras, the UniFi Protect application is required, which does not run on this device due to insufficient storage capacity and processing power, making it unsuitable for UniFi Video.
Does the Cloud Gateway Ultra support two internet lines (Multi-WAN)?
Yes, the device offers full Multi-WAN support. One of the four LAN ports can be configured as a second WAN port to implement failover or load balancing, enhancing your Network's resilience with this advanced router.
Do I also need a UniFi Cloud Key when using the UCG-Ultra?
No, a separate Cloud Key is not required. The Cloud Gateway Ultra already has the UniFi Network Application integrated and acts as a controller for your Network itself, streamlining your Ubiquiti Networks setup.
How is the Cloud Gateway Ultra powered?
Power is supplied via a modern USB-C port. A suitable 5V/3A Power Supply is included, allowing for flexible installation and ensuring reliable operation for your Network.
