Love the express, but I find the processing slow. You gain wifi but everything in the UI takes long to load and it also takes a while to reboot so just keep that in mind. They are great for small deployments though.

I really do like the look of the gate way but sadly I wish they used the switch from the udr or edge router 4 because I really like to power my access point from them

I got the UCG ultra im happy with it, unless you have a teeny apartment get the ultra. i think its the right device for me even now the UCG Max has been announced

[vikylin]

very professional insights, thank you for sharing~~

Do these replace the need for a unifi cloud key or computer based controller on a PC?? Which is better overall for hosting the Unifi Cloud Controller? I just purchased a new U6+ AP to add to my network( AC- Pro, AC-LR's and one U6 Lite ) and discovered my cloud key gen 1 from like 2018 that wont update to current software to be able to see/adopt the U6+!!! ... any advice would be appreciated

I have dual-WAN, so it was obvious which one I'd go with just as a starter unit. haha

Decided to look around at options since I'm getting tired of -- I've tried every gateway OS on the open market, even Microsoft's old Forefront, and everyone at work raves about Ubiquity so I'm going to give them a shot just for the wife approval factor alone when I'm trying to explain things 😅 If I enjoy the Ultra Gateway I just ordered, I plan to retrofit my whole home lab over time, and since I currently use Eero's in bridge mode, I'll probably eventually migrate those as well once I get to know all the features and such.

Guess we'll see what happens! Thanks for the excellent video, loved the side-by-side comparison between the two devices since I almost went for the Express instead just to test it out, but the Ultra meets our needs a lot more closely.

Would either of these replace my failed cloud key?

[MadeByHawkins]

I thought the Express would suit me fine, I was wrong. The UI is incredibly SLOW. I just bought the Ultra and will use that as my main gateway and the express as an AP. I have 2 other AP's as well and around 50 devices so I was maxing out the express I think. The phone app was unusable most of the time.

do i need a cloud key gen 2 when using cloud gateway ultra?

[benkeeling]

Just looking at setting up a home network, my requirements are 2x unifi 6 lite and 2x ethernet ports. This will be supplied by a Starlink connection. Will a unifi cloud gateway ultra be a workable solution for this setup?

[vrv]

I currently have the Express set up, but the Cloud Gateway Ultra would make more sense for my home network. Is there an easy way to transfer over the network settings from Express to Ultra?
