Why get anything else? - Ubiquiti Cloud Gateway Max

The Ubiquiti fairy is back to show off the new Cloud Gateway Max, which looks to be a killer deal. With 2.5Gb ports, internal storage, a ton of connection options, and an accessible price tag, is this the easiest networking recommendation Jake can make?

Purchases made through some store links may provide some compensation to Linus Media Group.

UPDATE: We've queued up the removal of a small section of this video referencing the use of USB sticks for the storage in Ubiquiti's NVR lineup. While they did previously use USB sticks for storage, they've since rectified this issue by switching to more durable eMMC storage, so this is no longer a concern on new units!

It would be cool to get a video explaining different ubiquity products, Cloudkey, Cloud Gateway, Security Gateway, Dream Machine, etc. Sometimes I feel confuse when I need to buy one or the other. Especially when life used to be just a Cisco firewall plus a switch, and now it might be a USG, CloudKey, Switch, PoE Switch, etc. Or just a Dream Machine plus Switch, or some other combination.

This makes me think, i would love to see a "How to properly configure internet" video, like show us all the options, what stuff you actually need to avoid using the isp crappy router, basically what we need to have a good internet for every budget so we don't have to use the isp box!

I'm sure ubiquiti will release a slightly better version in a couple months like they've done twice already this year.

Bought the Cloud Gateway ULTRA a few months ago and NOW they release the Cloud Gateway MAX. (Cloud Gateway Ultra does not contain any 2.5G LAN/WAN ports). I would've definitely spent the extra $70 to buy the Cloud Gateway Max.

just got to give props for whoever did the editing for the pulse way logo on the switch, well done

[bhmnoise]

Just to be 'that guy', it's 2.5Gb, not 2.5GB in the thumbnail.

So excited for the Cloud Gateway Ultra Pro Max LR+ to come out 1 month after this for $50 less, and for Ubiquiti to EOL this prematurely as a result of the new version taking the sales. Thanks Ubiquiti! /s

Note to Editor: love what you're doing with the portal edit at 1:15!

Jakes is discovering how professional product pallets work.
Everything is optional, comes as a seperate sales item, with individual packaging and in the end is more expensive than already inlcuding every accesorry and not using them, just because of handling, packaging and greedcost.

These are running crazy hot. At idle you have 80+ celsius cpu temperature. I sent mine back. Somehow all youtubers fails to mention this. Its really uncomfortable to touch. Once you get all the 2.5Gb NIC’s going with ssd and camera recording, its roasting!! Also not healthy for the SSD in long run.

Thank you Editor for that awesome Portal Box joke at the beginning, i love the Portal games so much!

[CornFlakesPC]

Because some other brands don't decide that the stuff you bought, for less, is now outdated and can't be used anymore. Thats why

[cameronfrye]

Ubiquiti has had great hardware for some time, so long as your whole infrastructure is compatible. The hold up for me has always been the fact that Protect requires Ubiquiti branded cameras, and replacing my cameras is out of the question. Now that they're planning to add ONVIF camera support the Cloud Gateway Max is the easy choice for a home user.

[BenschiVids]

That random portal animation is amazing.

I’ve had gigabit for years at home and realized that even with 50+ devices and 7 people we just don’t need it. Downgraded to 300/300 and no one has even noticed. Now paying $30 a month.

What the f. Thoses special vfx (intro ?? Portal ?!) are so cooool

[smccrode]

6:10 OMG I just found out about this a week ago! They didn’t email me or anything. I had one die October 2022. I opened a support ticket and they replaced it though. So, props UniFi!

Edit: for anyone unaware (like I was) they added a 1 year extension to the warranty because of this issue with USB Flash drives dying.

[christopherlenahan]

I know you love Ubiquiti, but I really appreciate a true thoughts review. Being that I watch all LTT's content for info\entertainment, I was really expecting a love piece.

[MacRobeson]

Huge props to the editor for the 1:17 Portal reference!
