The Ubiquiti UXG-Max, released in April 2024, is an independent Layer 3 gateway designed for high-throughput networking in small-to-medium businesses or home labs, offering multi-WAN capabilities without integrated controller or WiFi functions for flexible deployment alongside UniFi Cloud Keys or self-hosted servers.

It features five 2.5 GbE RJ45 LAN ports (one remappable to WAN for dual-WAN failover/load balancing) and one dedicated 2.5 GbE WAN port, powered by a quad-core ARM Cortex-A73 @ 1.5 GHz processor and 4 GB DDR4 RAM for robust performance up to 1.5 Gbps with IDS/IPS enabled—15x faster than legacy USG models.

Measuring 200 x 145 x 42 mm and weighing ~800 g, its rack-mountable black enclosure supports PoE++ (802.3bt) input via the WAN port or optional DC adapter, drawing up to 20W for efficient operation in harsh environments (-10°C to 45°C).

Advanced features include stateful firewall, DPI, L7 app control, VPN (IPsec/WireGuard/OpenVPN), SD-WAN, and traffic shaping, all managed via UniFi Network app with zero-touch provisioning.

Strengths include its future-proof multi-gig ports and scalability for 30+ devices/300+ clients, but it requires separate management hardware and lacks built-in storage—ideal for enterprise-grade routing in distributed setups without cloud dependency.
