Compact multi-WAN gateway with 2.5GbE ports

The Ubiquiti UXG-Max is a compact, independent gateway designed for small-to-medium sites that need multi-WAN capability and full 2.5GbE support. It is managed through a CloudKey, official UniFi hosting, or a UniFi Network Server running version 8.1.113 or later. The unit ships with a USB-C power adapter and cable for plug-and-play deployment. Buyers who require 10GbE uplinks or SFP+ connectivity should consider other models.

Routing and IDS/IPS throughput limits

The gateway delivers up to 2.5Gbps routing throughput and sustains 1.5Gbps with intrusion detection and prevention enabled. It supports up to 2000 simultaneous sessions across its five 2.5GbE ports, one of which is a dedicated WAN port and four are LAN ports with one remappable to a second WAN. Networks pushing sustained traffic above 1.5Gbps with IDS/IPS active will exceed the appliance’s inspected throughput ceiling.

Passive cooling in a desktop form factor

The appliance measures 212.8 x 127.6 x 30mm and operates without active cooling fans, relying on its metal enclosure for heat dissipation. Power is supplied via the included USB-C adapter, eliminating the need for a separate power brick or external supply. Silent operation makes it suitable for desktop placement in noise-sensitive environments such as offices or home labs.

Questions about this item

Will the 2.5 GbE WAN and LAN ports on the UXG-Max negotiate down to 1 GbE for my existing switches?

Yes, the four 2.5 GbE LAN ports and the single 2.5 GbE WAN port auto-negotiate to 1 GbE, so they work with current Gigabit switches without extra configuration.

How do I verify the UXG-Max is actually inspecting traffic at the rated 1.5 Gbps IDS/IPS throughput?

In UniFi Network 8.1.113 or later, open the Threat Management dashboard; the real-time graph shows inspected throughput and blocked signatures, confirming the engine is active.

Does the box contain a rack-mount kit or SFP+ modules for fibre uplinks?

The package includes only the gateway and a USB-C power adapter with cable; no rack ears, SFP+ modules or additional cables are supplied.
