Your Network, Your Rules: Centralized Control Made Easy
Do you want full control over your Network? Then the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra (UCG-Ultra) is exactly what you need! This device is not only a powerful router but also your integrated Network Management controller. It eliminates the need for a separate Cloud Key and allows you to centrally manage all your UniFi Access Points and UniFi Switch 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 (Intrusion Detection/Prevention System) 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 VLANs 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 Router 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 Home Network or Small Business 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)
Can the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra fully utilize multi-gigabit internet connections?
No, your UCG-Ultra cannot fully utilize multi-gigabit internet connections. Although it has a 2.5 GbE WAN port, the maximum routing throughput with IDS/IPS enabled is limited to 1 Gbit/s. Even without IDS/IPS, the internal limit for single-client connections is approximately 1 Gbit/s.
Do I need a separate Cloud Key or controller to manage the UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra?
No, your UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra already has the UniFi Network Controller integrated. It runs the UniFi Network Software directly on the device, so you don't need a separate Cloud Key or an external controller for management.
Does the UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra support UniFi Protect for surveillance cameras?
No, your Cloud Gateway Ultra does not support UniFi Protect. It is exclusively designed for UniFi Network and cannot host UniFi Protect cameras, UniFi Talk VoIP systems, or UniFi Access door control systems.
How many UniFi devices and clients can the Cloud Gateway Ultra manage?
Your Cloud Gateway Ultra is designed to manage over 30 UniFi network devices and up to 300 clients.
Is the UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra easy to set up for beginners?
Yes, setting up your Cloud Gateway Ultra is described as "refreshingly simple". After connecting, you can use the UniFi Mobile App to go through the setup process, which automatically detects the internet connection.
What is the difference between the UniFi Cloud Gateway Ultra and the Cloud Gateway Max?
Your Cloud Gateway Ultra is a compact and more cost-effective option with a 1 Gbit/s IDS/IPS throughput and support only for UniFi Network. The Cloud Gateway Max, on the other hand, offers a higher IDS/IPS throughput of 2.3 Gbit/s, 2.5 GbE LAN ports, and the ability to run UniFi Protect with optional NVMe storage, making it more suitable for multi-gigabit internet and camera surveillance.
