Introducing the New Products from the Ubiquiti Ultra Line

The Cloud Gateway Ultra offers multi-gigabit WAN, support for multiple WAN connections, 1 Gbit per second routing, and a price point of $129 USD.

The UniFi Switch Ultra features 7 1 GB Poe plus ports, multiple powering options with different price points, and versatile mounting capabilities.

The combination of these two devices is ideal for powering a network with high-performance and flexibility.

Setting Up the Cloud Gateway Ultra: A Step-by-Step Guide

The process involves naming the Cloud Gateway Ultra, conducting a speed test, and setting up the UniFi OS.

The next steps include adopting the devices, updating firmware, and making configuration changes such as enabling a secondary WAN for policy-based routing.

Setting Up Secondary WAN and Creating Virtual Networks

The process involves connecting the secondary WAN for failover, creating a guest network with limited access, and establishing an IoT network.

The USW Ultra switch does not support aggregation ports, which is not a concern for the intended use as a camera switch.

Policy-based routing is then tested and configured to route traffic from a specific computer to the secondary WAN, allowing for the customization of traffic distribution.

Setting up W 2 Connection and Cloud Gateway Ultra Features

Cody sets up the W 2 connection by releasing and renewing the IP config, resulting in a different ending IP address.

The Cloud Gateway Ultra offers advanced suspicious activity detection with customizable settings, outperforming the UDR in terms of customizations.

It also provides features for adding internal honeypots, DNS Shield for DNS over HTTPS, and the ability to track and block traffic to specific countries.

Testing is then conducted to determine the capability of achieving 1 Gbit routing with IDS and IPS turned on.

There was a fluctuation in download and upload speeds during the speed tests, especially when toggling the suspicious activity settings.

Turning on suspicious activity led to a much higher download speed.

The UDM Pro offers various VPN options, including VPN server, VPN clients, and site-to-site VPNs, with a notable feature being the magic site-to-site configuration under the site manager.

Review of Cloud Gateway Ultra and Switch Ultra Products

The Cloud Gateway Ultra is recommended for running UniFi network controller at a great price of $129, making it ideal for remote offices.

The Switch Ultra is highly praised for its potential use in outdoor settings like garages, gates, and barns, with anticipation for the upcoming outdoor utility box.

The products are suggested for use in multiple remote offices, and the viewer is encouraged to share their thoughts and feedback in the comments section.
