Ubiquiti Unifi Security Gateway

Excellent material to put in all hands once configured

The installation and the daily management of the box requires the Unifi Controller software - either installed on your PC or on a key (cloud key to be bought in addition).
If you decide to install the software on your machine, the first thing to do to avoid headaches is to disable the Windows firewall because the boxes and APs you want to adopt need to establish connections to the machine hosting the software.

My recommendations:
1) Installation and configuration requires networking skills (find a good IT guy if you are not one yourself)
2) Buy the Cloud Key
3) A training session is necessary for the average person to manage the basic functions of the solution on a daily basis
4) Install the box in a place that is not exposed to the sun as the box gets hot

Positive points:
1) Does its job (full visibility on your network)
2) Fanless (no noise)
3) Native VLAN support (logical segregation of the physical network for more security)
4) Product quality comparable to that used in the enterprise
5) Fair price for the result

Negative points
1) Firewall configuration is not intuitive
2) Missing report function
Still top LDLC for product quality and logistics

Problematic if not in cloud mode

Once the router is well configured (without cloud), it is impossible to come back and connect again to the router management interface, neither with the dedicated java application, nor via its ip! (login password refused, whatever the browser), and neither via SSH

I'm used to setting up much more complex routers (cisco, watchguard)

You have to do a Hard Reset and reconfigure it to zero like when you unpacked it, in order to be able to set it up again! And I am not the only one in this case, examples, in the forum of the manufacturer: https://community.ui.com/questions/USG-not-allowing-me-to-login-directly/4023a715-d6ab-4b98-a587-f134ee271ffd

As it is, it's not a very serious hardware/software, because they don't correct this login bug in local mode

Functional firewall

It's a great tool for the home or for secondary networks like mine, but it's not a very complex system. It's a good firewall for the home or for secondary networks as in my case.
It's a great tool for the home or for secondary networks like mine. A great web interface.

excellent product, for (semi)professional users

The product itself is well made. The packaging is well done.
The implementation is not intuitive: you have to dive into the documentation and find the information on the internet if you are not familiar with the brand like me.
In particular when it is necessary to change the IP address not to conflict with the fiber modem: I found how to do it but only in command line.
Associated with the Unifi Controler server and a wifi AP of the brand, the whole is very flexible (but still a bit complicated).
The performance of the set is good and it works without flinching for tests of speeds at 500Mbps+ in DL and 300 Mbps+ in UL.
The USG heats up a little but nothing to worry about.
It is fanless and therefore silent...
I recommend it for its very interesting quality/price/performance ratio.

Very good product

I'm very happy with the product as it is installed behind an SFR box in bridge mode without any problems.
The router manages my entire network
The handling is rather pleasant and the interface is a step above the classic router
I didn't give it the highest rating because the box is really hot.
After consultation with other users, the same observation was made but without any consequences
I recommend this product

Excellent

I am surprised by this little router, I have had routers, but this one exceeds my expectations, manages its function well, has a firewall, there are videos, to understand its operation, I even have a unifi uap-ac lite, the same brand, I have not yet made the tour of all the qualities.
And as always LDLC and remarkable in its shipments.
