Ubiquiti UXG Max – Compact Multi-WAN Gateway with 2.5 GbE Ports & High Throughput Security

The Ubiquiti UXG Max is a compact, high-performance gateway designed to deliver flexible routing, advanced security, and multi-WAN support for small to medium sites. Built with full 2.5 GbE connectivity, it provides one dedicated WAN port and four LAN ports (one of which is remappable), allowing adaptable network architectures. With throughput to handle full IDS/IPS capabilities at up to 2.3 Gbps, this gateway ensures traffic filtering and protection do not bottleneck your network.

Managed via a CloudKey, Official UniFi Hosting, or UniFi Network Server, UXG Max integrates seamlessly into the UniFi ecosystem. USB-C power ensures easy deployment without bulky adapters. The device supports the latest UniFi Network software (version 8.1.113 and later) and includes options for extended UI Care coverage and optional security services. Rugged yet compact, it fits when space is limited but demands are high.
