Description

The Ubiquiti UniFi Gateway Lite (UXG-Lite) is a dedicated gateway that provides a full suite of advanced routing and security features in a small form factor. It is a powerful, yet simple-to-use device with a dual-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor and 1 GB of DDR3L RAM, enabling it to deliver a high-performance 1 Gbps of IDS/IPS (Intrusion Detection/Prevention System) throughput. This means it can inspect and protect a full Gigabit internet connection without performance degradation, a significant improvement over the older USG.

The UXG-Lite features one Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) WAN port and one GbE LAN port. It is powered by a modern and efficient USB-C (5V/3A) adapter, which is included in the box. A key characteristic of the UXG-Lite is its role as a “headless” gateway; it does not contain a built-in UniFi Network controller or Wi-Fi radio. This makes it ideal for networks that already have a Cloud Key, a UniFi OS Console (like a UDM or UDR), or a self-hosted UniFi Network Server. It seamlessly integrates with the existing UniFi ecosystem, allowing for centralized management of all devices, including switches and access points, from a single, intuitive interface. The fanless design ensures silent operation, making it suitable for deployment in any room.
