@dustinb3403 You don't want a USG. Period. Ever.
It is a gimped ERL.
For personal home use, buy the ERX.
Ok thanks
@jaredbusch said in Ubiquiti Security Gateway:
@dustinb3403 To directly answer the last demo question, no. But if you have a UNiFi Controller, all you have to do it poke around the screens there a bit.
The controller lacks a lot of functionality without the ERX or security Gateway.
On a side note, the controller insists on needing a USG to enable certain functionality, does the ERX fill that requirement?
The only functionality the controller is missing without a USG is Deep Packet Inspection.

Ok so ERX to replace my existing router, my standalone controller for my APs, my APs, and possibly a UNMS if I want some kind of central management of the ERX.
Correct?
-
@dustinb3403 yes
-
The ERX comes with a management interface much like the controller, no?
-
@dustinb3403 It has both CLI and Web Based GUI to configure it.

No.
Correct, the management interface in the controller is NOTHING like the GUI on the ER-X. It's the Edge Interface.
-
@brianlittlejohn @JaredBusch @Dashrender so what does the Edge interface look like?
I can't imagine it being so wildly different (outside of the functionality)

So last annoying question (hopefully).. . .
Why does Ubiquiti have so many different products that overlap so much?

Because stupid people buy it. I don't blame them for selling to stupid people that want to give them money.

Simple answer: multiple audiences. Different product lines are geared for different uses.

I am a nice guy... question mark

I never saw the value in the USG. Maybe if you were doing full network automation and copying configs, and then that defeats the purpose of the USG anyway. I have an ERL and an EdgeSwitch Lite at home, along with 2 APs.

What kept you from seeing value in the USG? the price is the only hold back for a small single site SMB. The ER-L and ER-X are just way cheaper.

Is there a way to enable DPI in the controller without USG?

The ER series has it's own DPI.

Right, it is not like the AP is doing DPI.

And neither is the controller in a Unifi Controller setup. It's all in the USG.
