1.5 Gbps IDS/IPS Routing
Full signature-based IDS/IPS threat detection at 1.5 Gbps — significantly faster than the UXG-Lite — making it ideal for sites with high-speed NBN, fibre, or multi-WAN connections that need security without a throughput bottleneck.
Full 2.5 Gigabit on All Ports
All five ports run at 2.5 GbE — 4 × LAN + 1 × WAN — future-proofing your network for multi-gig ISP connections and 2.5G switches or APs without any bottleneck at the gateway.
Remappable LAN Port — True Dual-WAN
One of the four LAN ports can be remapped to WAN, enabling true dual-WAN failover and load balancing — keeping your network online even if one ISP connection drops.
WireGuard, L2TP & OpenVPN
Built-in WireGuard VPN server, L2TP, OpenVPN server/client, IPsec site-to-site VPN, and one-click Teleport VPN — all without additional licensing fees.
Licence-Free SD-WAN
Policy-based WAN and VPN routing, DHCP relay, customisable DHCP server, IPv6 ISP support, and IGMP proxy — all included at no extra cost.
Full IDS/IPS & Next-Gen Security
Application-aware firewall, content filtering, country blocking, ad filtering, VLAN/subnet segmentation, and full stateful firewall — enterprise-grade protection for any site.
USB-C Powered — 9.6W Max
Powered by a standard USB-C adapter (5V/3A, included) drawing just 9.6W maximum — silent, fanless, and suitable for any location including a small comms cabinet or behind a desk.
IK04 Impact Resistance
The polycarbonate enclosure is IK04 impact-rated — more durable than a typical desktop device and suitable for installation in light commercial environments.
✅ Choose UXG-Max if you need…
Multi-gig (2.5G) throughput, 1.5 Gbps IDS/IPS performance, dual-WAN failover, or a future-proof gateway for high-speed NBN/fibre connections. Best for growing SMBs and multi-WAN sites.
✅ Choose UXG-Lite if you need…
A budget-friendly, ultra-compact gateway for standard Gigabit connections. Best for home networks and small offices where 1G throughput is sufficient and cost is a priority.
🏢 Small to Medium Business
High-speed NBN or fibre connections with multi-WAN failover, IDS/IPS, and VPN for offices, retail stores, and professional services firms.
🏡 Advanced Home Networks
Power users who want 2.5G throughput, IDS/IPS, and WireGuard VPN in a compact, silent, USB-C powered device.
🌐 Multi-WAN & Failover
Sites requiring dual-WAN failover or load balancing across two ISP connections — remap a LAN port to WAN for true redundancy.
🔄 UXG-Lite Upgrade
The natural upgrade from the UXG-Lite for sites that have outgrown Gigabit throughput or need dual-WAN and higher IDS/IPS performance.
📦 UXG-Max Unit
Compact multi-WAN 2.5G UniFi security gateway with 4× 2.5GbE LAN and 1× 2.5GbE WAN.
🔌 USB-C Power Adapter
USB-C power adapter (5V/3A, 100–240V) included.
📖 Quick-Start Guide
Installation guide and documentation included.
⚠️ Controller Required
Requires UniFi Network 8.1.113+ on a Cloud Key, UniFi OS Console, or Official UniFi Hosting. Not a standalone device.
Does the UXG-Max work as a standalone router?
No. The UXG-Max requires a UniFi Network controller (Cloud Key, UniFi OS Console, or Official UniFi Hosting running version 8.1.113 or later) to function. It cannot operate independently without a controller.
What is the difference between the UXG-Max and UXG-Lite?
The UXG-Max has 2.5G ports on all interfaces, 1.5 Gbps IDS/IPS throughput, dual-WAN capability via a remappable LAN port, and 2GB RAM. The UXG-Lite has 1G ports and lower IDS/IPS throughput, but is more affordable for standard Gigabit deployments.
Can the UXG-Max do dual-WAN failover?
Yes. One of the four LAN ports can be remapped to WAN, enabling dual-WAN failover and load balancing across two ISP connections.
Does it support VPN?
Yes. WireGuard, L2TP, OpenVPN server/client, IPsec site-to-site VPN, and Teleport VPN are all supported — with no additional licensing fees.
Is it suitable for high-speed NBN or fibre connections?
Yes. With 2.5G ports and 1.5 Gbps IDS/IPS throughput, the UXG-Max handles multi-gig ISP connections without bottlenecking your network — ideal for 1 Gbps+ NBN or fibre plans.
Does it have Wi-Fi?
No. The UXG-Max is a wired gateway only. For Wi-Fi, pair it with UniFi Access Points (U6 Lite, U6 Pro, U6 Mesh, etc.) managed through the same UniFi Network controller.
