Better on paper than in reality.
Over 2 months ago, I replaced the USG-3P router in our home network with Ubiquiti's UXG-LITE model, which is supposed to offer superior performance on paper, as well as the ability to enable firewall rules with IPS/IDS threat detection, country-based restrictions, ad suppression, all with network traffic segmentation via VLANs and subnets.
Unlike the USG-3P, the UXG-LITE does not limit bandwidth to 80Mbps, which should allow us to take full advantage of our 1Gbps throughput.
However, after activating a few IPS features to enhance network security, the router's CPU and memory skyrocket.
After a day, we completely lost access to the network because the UXG stopped responding.
The only solution to make it stable is to disable the IPS/IDS after performing a power reboot, which brings us back to the same limitations as the USG-3P.
In the end, we can't see any notable gains with this new product... :(
However, it's worth noting that the product does have its advantages, including relatively low power consumption (less than 4W) and it can easily replace a traditional box.
Finally, if you're aiming for traffic security on your network, it's not necessarily the best choice.
I think you need to look at another range, such as the UXG-Max, which is more expensive, or Ubiquiti's Cloud Gateway range, such as the UCG-Ultra box.
