Cloud Gateway Ultra
UCG-Ultra€90 excl. VAT
Cloud Gateway Ultra is a compact, fanless UniFi gateway without Wi-Fi, with a firewall and UniFi Network built in.
Who it suits
Suits the apartment, house or small office where the router can sit on a shelf or desk and Wi-Fi comes from access points placed where coverage is needed. The gateway is the brain of the network: it handles the internet connection, the firewall and the management of other UniFi devices. That makes it a solid foundation for anyone who starts simple and plans to add more devices over time.

- Ports
- 4 × 1 Gbps RJ451 × 2.5 Gbps RJ45
- Routing with IDS/IPS
- 1 Gbps
Good to know
- The WAN port runs at 2.5 Gbps, but routing tops out at 1 Gbps, so an internet plan faster than 1 Gbps cannot be fully used.
- Has no PoE output, so access points need a PoE switch or a PoE injector.

Choosing a UniFi router: built-in Wi-Fi or a separate access point?
How UniFi’s Cloud Gateways with built-in Wi-Fi differ from the compact models: who each model suits, what PoE is and when you need separate access points.
