Ubiquiti UniFi Gateway Max UXG-Max 2.5G Multi-WAN Router - UK
The Ubiquiti UniFi Gateway Max UXG-Max is a compact, multi-WAN independent gateway designed for small-to-medium sites that need full 2.5G support across all ports. It suits IT administrators and businesses that require advanced security features — including application-aware firewall rules, IDS/IPS threat detection, and content filtering — alongside flexible WAN and VPN options, all managed through the UniFi ecosystem.
Why this product
Full 2.5 GbE on every port
All five RJ45 ports operate at up to 2.5 Gbps, supporting 2.5G, 1G, 100M, and 10M speeds so the gateway keeps pace with high-throughput internet connections.
2.3 Gbps IDS/IPS throughput
Intrusion detection and prevention runs at up to 2.3 Gbps when using UniFi OS 4.1 or later, so security inspection does not become a bottleneck on fast connections.
Up to four WAN ports
One port is WAN by default, and up to three additional LAN ports can be remapped to WAN, enabling multi-WAN failover or load-balancing configurations.
Licence-free SD-WAN and VPN
SD-WAN, WireGuard, and OpenVPN are all included without recurring licence fees, along with one-click Teleport for straightforward remote access.
USB-C powered, compact desktop form
Drawing a maximum of 9.6 W from a standard 5 V DC, 3 A USB-C adapter (included), it fits easily on a desk or in a networking cabinet without requiring a dedicated power circuit.
CyberSecure threat intelligence included
Signature-based IPS/IDS is backed by Proofpoint threat signatures with real-time updates, providing continuously updated protection against emerging threats.
- WAN Ports1 × 2.5 GbE (up to 4 with remapping)
- LAN Ports4 × 2.5 GbE RJ45
- IDS/IPS Throughput2.3 Gbps
- ProcessorQuad-core ARM® Cortex®-A53 at 1.5 GHz
- System Memory2 GB DDR4
- Power InputUSB-C (5V DC, 3A)
- Max. Power Consumption9.6 W
- Dimensions141.8 × 127.6 × 30 mm
- SKUUBI-1293
- EAN810084695210
- Managed via UniFi Network version 8.1.113 and later — compatible with CloudKey, Official UniFi Hosting, or a self-hosted UniFi Network Server.
- IPv6 ISP support is included, making it compatible with ISPs that provide IPv6 connections.
- Accepts a standard USB-C 5 V DC, 3 A power source; a compatible adapter is included in the box.
- 2.3 Gbps IDS/IPS throughput requires UniFi OS 4.1 or later; earlier firmware versions may not achieve this figure.
- Does not include a built-in UniFi controller — a CloudKey, Official UniFi Hosting, or UniFi Network Server is required for management.
- The EU Store version ships with an EU power plug only — not compatible with UK sockets without an adapter; this listing is the UK version.
Best for
- Small-to-medium businesses that need full 2.5 GbE routing on every port without rack-mounting a large chassis.
- Security-conscious networks requiring application-aware Layer 7 firewall rules, IDS/IPS, content filtering, and zone-based segmentation.
- Multi-WAN deployments where failover or load balancing across up to four WAN connections is needed.
- Existing UniFi environments already running UniFi Network 8.1.113 or later that want a gateway consistent with the rest of the UniFi stack.
- Power-constrained installations where a device drawing no more than 9.6 W and powered by USB-C is an advantage.
Trade-offs
- Standalone deployments — a separate CloudKey, hosted controller, or UniFi Network Server is required; it cannot be managed independently.
- Networks that need PoE switching — no PoE output is provided on any port; a separate UniFi switch would be required for powered devices.
- Large enterprise sites expecting higher port counts — the maximum is five 2.5 GbE RJ45 ports total, with up to four usable as WAN.
- Environments requiring SFP or fibre uplinks — all ports are RJ45 copper only; there are no SFP or SFP+ slots.
Compact, multi-WAN independent gateway with full 2.5G support for high-performance networking at small-to-medium sites.
Note. EU Store version includes EU power plug only.
Managed with a CloudKey, Official UniFi Hosting, or UniFi Network Server.
