Unifi has identified that the next release of the management software, version 8.6.x (the current version is 8.5.6), will be the last version that supports making configuration changes to the Unifi Security Gateway (USG) and the Unifi Security Gateway Pro (USG-Pro), which are listed as Legacy Devices.

Those devices will keep working, but if changes are needed to any settings (hardware changes, Wi-Fi password changes, internet provider changes, etc.), the management software will not be able to make those changes.

Depending on your current and future needs, the following devices are the recommended replacements:

Gateway Lite (UXG-Lite) $173.00

  • Compact independent gateway with a full suite of advanced routing and security features.

UniFi Express (UX) $173.00

  • Impressively compact Cloud Gateway and WiFi 6 AP that runs UniFi Network. Powers an entire network or simply meshes as an AP.

Cloud Gateway Ultra (UCG-Ultra) $169.00

  • Compact Cloud Gateway with 30+ UniFi device / 300+ client support, 1 Gbps IPS routing, and multi-WAN load balancing.

Dream Router (UDR) $266.00

  • Desktop UniFi Cloud Gateway with integrated WiFi 6 and PoE switching.

Cloud Gateway Max (UCG-Max) $373.00

  • Compact 2.5G Cloud Gateway with 30+ UniFi devices / 300+ client support, 1.5 Gbps IPS routing, and selectable NVR storage.

If you are considering adding additional Unifi systems (updated or additional wifi access points, video surveillance, access controls, etc.), please let me know. I would be happy to discuss your future plans and provide you with recommendations.
