They’re nearly end of life, but they are not listed as vintage or obsolete products yet.īecause they are near the end of their useful life, I would not recommend the USG or USG-Pro for a new network. They are not listed in the US store, but still available via search, and other vendors. The classic USG and USG-Pro are the baseline UniFi routers, which are aging. If you want to know more about the specific models of routers they sell, read on. If you want comparison charts of all UniFi routers, access points, and switches, refer to my UniFi Comparison Charts or my Ubiquiti Guide. UniFi routers are now split into the older “security gateway” and the newer “UniFi OS Console” and “Routing Offload” categories. Recently, Ubiquiti changed some of their naming conventions. The right solution depends on what kind of network you are trying to build, and what features you need to accomplish that. Mixing UniFi switches and access points with an EdgeRouter or 3rd party firewall is a common alternative. More complicated networking setups that require dynamic routing, custom NAT or advanced firewall features will probably not be well served by a UniFi router. UniFi routers offer basic routing, firewall, and VPN features.

Going with a full UniFi stack has some benefits and some limitations, and some features that are not supported. You don’t need a UniFi router to run a UniFi network. UniFi networks are modular, and you can add and remove parts as needed. UniFi is separate from UISP, and the differences can get complicated. Ubiquiti also has a completely separate line of products, UISP EdgeRouters, which may be a better option for more advanced networks. There are two different generations and a few models to consider from each.

UniFi routers, like the UniFi Dream Machine or upcoming UniFi Dream Wall, appear simple until you dig below the surface. UniFi Router Comparison: USG vs UDM vs UXG
