Ubiquiti UniFi Gateway Lite (UXG-Lite) – Compact Security Gateway
The Ubiquiti UniFi Gateway Lite (UXG-Lite) is a purpose-built security gateway engineered to bring modern routing capabilities to managed UniFi setups. Serving as the direct successor to the classic UniFi Security Gateway (USG), it delivers up to a 10x performance boost, allowing full gigabit routing even with deep packet inspection and intrusion prevention enabled.
Unlike Cloud Gateways that run the network application onboard, the UXG-Lite is an independent gateway managed seamlessly by your existing UniFi Network Server, Cloud Key, or Official UniFi Cloud Hosting. Built with a dual-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor and 1 GB DDR3L memory, it processes heavy traffic loads, site-to-site VPN tunnels, and complex firewall rules smoothly in a silent, pocket-sized enclosure.
Key Features & Benefits:
- 1 Gbps Full Threat Protection: Enjoy uncompromised internet throughput with real-time signature-based IDS/IPS threat detection and Layer 7 application filtering.
- 10x Performance Over USG: Handles Smart Queues, QoS, and heavy firewall rules without slowing down gigabit fiber connections.
- License-Free SD-WAN & VPN: Native support for Site Magic zero-config SD-WAN, WireGuard, OpenVPN, IPsec, and Teleport client VPNs.
- Advanced Traffic Control: Domain, region, and content filtering along with integrated ad-blocking at the gateway level.
- Ultra-Low Power Footprint: Runs on just 3.83W maximum power using the included USB-C power adapter.
- Flexible Deployment: Ideal for existing UniFi environments with dedicated switches and APs that require a compact, standalone routing engine.
