Your Network Upgrade: More Power, More Security
Say goodbye to outdated network hardware and welcome the future with the Ubiquiti UniFi Gateway Lite (UXG-Lite). As the direct successor to the legendary USG, this Network Gateway offers you up to 10 times higher routing performance. Even when you activate demanding security features like the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) or the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), you still enjoy Gigabit throughput. Centralized management via your UniFi Controller (version 8.0.7 or newer) makes configuration a breeze and ensures seamless integration into your existing UniFi setup.
Security You Can Feel: Your Personal Network Guardian
Proactively protect your network with the comprehensive security features of the UXG-Lite. This Security Gateway acts as a powerful Firewall, blocking unwanted traffic and protecting your network from threats. With integrated VLAN support, you can segment your network to isolate sensitive data or provide secure access to guests. As a versatile VPN Router, the UXG-Lite supports OpenVPN Client/Server, WireGuard, L2TP, and IPsec Site-to-Site VPNs, allowing you to establish secure connections to remote locations or on the go at any time. One-click Teleport and Identity Enterprise VPN are also possible in conjunction with a Cloud Key.
Compact, Flexible, UniFi-Ready: Perfectly Integrated
The UXG-Lite proves that performance doesn't require much space. With its extremely compact design (98 x 98 x 30 mm) and flexible USB-C power supply, it can be discreetly placed in any environment. Its strength lies in seamless integration into the Ubiquiti UniFi ecosystem. Especially for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and network installers, the UXG-Lite is an ideal solution for efficiently managing multiple customer networks via centralized UniFi Controllers. It is specifically designed to integrate smoothly into an existing UniFi infrastructure and offers advanced features such as WLAN QoS in conjunction with UniFi Access Points.
Who is the UXG-Lite made for? Your Smart Network Helper
Whether you are a demanding home user who values network security and management, or a small business with basic to medium network requirements – the UXG-Lite is your choice. It is the perfect replacement for the older UniFi Security Gateway (USG) and offers you a modern, more powerful alternative. With its ability to scale in UniFi setups with up to 250 devices, it grows with your requirements. Take advantage of SD-WAN (license-free with Cloud Key/UniFi Hosting) and enjoy a future-proof network.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Significantly improved routing performance: Offers up to 10 times higher routing performance than its predecessor USG, even with activated security features like IPS/IDS.
- Pro: Comprehensive security and network functions: Includes a full suite of advanced routing and security features, including firewall protection, OpenVPN Client/Server, Site-to-Site VPN, VLAN support, QoS, and application-based firewall rules.
- Pro: Compact design and USB-C power supply: The device is very small (98 x 98 x 30 mm) and is powered via USB-C, which makes installation more flexible and easier.
- Note: Limited number of ports and no multi-Gigabit ports: The UXG-Lite only has two 1-Gigabit Ethernet ports (1x WAN, 1x LAN) and does not offer multi-Gigabit options, which can be a limiting factor for users with very fast internet connections (over 1 Gbit/s) or high internal bandwidth requirements.
- Note: Requires external UniFi Network Controller: Unlike the UniFi Dream Machines (UDM), the UXG-Lite does not have an integrated controller. It must be managed with a separate Cloud Key, official UniFi Hosting, or a self-hosted UniFi Network Server.
