The UXG-Lite is a compact and powerful UniFi gateway with a full suite of advanced routing and security features, offering up to 10× the routing performance of the legacy USG when tested with IPS/IDS, QoS, and Smart Queues. A dual-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor at 1GHz with 1GB DDR3L memory handles routing, security inspection, and VPN duties in a chassis that barely takes up any desk space. For businesses already invested in the UniFi ecosystem, or planning to build one, the UXG-Lite is the most cost-effective way to get a modern, capable gateway with full UniFi Network integration.

Key Highlights

• 1× GbE RJ45 WAN port and 1× GbE RJ45 LAN port
• 1GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor with 1GB DDR3L memory
• 1 Gbps IDS/IPS throughput
• Compact 98 × 98 × 30 mm polycarbonate enclosure, max 3.83W power consumption
• USB-C powered — adapter included

Next-Generation Security Suite

The UXG-Lite features application-aware firewall rules, signature-based IPS/IDS threat detection, and robust content, country, domain, and ad filtering capabilities. VLAN/subnet-based traffic segmentation and a full stateful firewall provide comprehensive network protection.

• Stateful firewall, application-aware Layer 7 firewall, and DPI with traffic identification
• Signature-based IPS/IDS threat detection with regular signature updates
• Zone-based firewall with advanced filtering by region, domain, and application
• Content filtering and ad blocking
• VLAN and subnet-based traffic segmentation

VPN & SD-WAN

Advanced networking features include license-free SD-WAN, WireGuard, L2TP, and OpenVPN server support, OpenVPN client, OpenVPN and IPsec site-to-site VPN, and one-click Teleport and Identity Enterprise VPN options. This makes it straightforward to connect remote workers securely or link multiple sites without an expensive third-party VPN solution.

• WireGuard, OpenVPN, and L2TP VPN server
• OpenVPN and WireGuard client support
• IPsec and OpenVPN site-to-site VPN
• One-click Teleport zero-configuration VPN for remote access
• License-free SD-WAN for encrypted inter-site connectivity
• Policy-based WAN and VPN routing, DHCP relay, customisable DHCP server, and full IPv6 ISP support

LTE Backup & Additional Reliability

The UXG-Lite is designed to work seamlessly with UniFi APs to provide WiFi QoS and supports additional internet failover with LTE Backup via a compatible UniFi LTE device, ensuring business connectivity is maintained even when the primary WAN link goes down.

• LTE Backup failover support via UniFi LTE hardware
• WiFi QoS integration with UniFi access points
• OSPF dynamic routing support
• Integrated RADIUS server for centralised authentication

Controller Requirements & UniFi Ecosystem

The UXG-Lite does not include a built-in controller — it must be managed via a UniFi CloudKey, Official UniFi Hosting, or a self-hosted UniFi Network Server running UniFi Network 8.0.7 or later. For businesses wanting a standalone all-in-one gateway with a built-in controller, the UCG-Ultra is the recommended alternative. Once connected to a controller, the UXG-Lite integrates fully into the UniFi ecosystem — managed centrally alongside UniFi switches, access points, and other devices from a single interface.

• Managed via UniFi CloudKey, Official UniFi Hosting, or self-hosted UniFi Network Server
• Requires UniFi Network 8.0.7 or later
• Full UniFi ecosystem integration — switches, APs, and gateways managed together
• Accessible via UniFi web interface and UniFi mobile app for iOS and Android
