xNote: When running as a gateway and AP, the UX is limited to managing only 4 other UniFi devices. It does not support IPS/IDS.

IMPORTANT: This product Cloud Gateway can only manage up to 4 other UniFi devices. Therefore if you have a network with more than 4 other UniFi devices and you want to manage them with this device, then this is not the correct product for you, may consider Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Router Dual Band WiFi 6 Desktop Router | UDR or similar,

UniFi Express (UX)
The UX is the entry level, UniFi OS gateway console but is limited to the UniFi Network Application. This differs from the rest of their console range which generally support other applications such as UniFi Protect. It features a single WAN port with a built-in WiFi 6 access point and LCM display making it an excellent all-in-one solution. It is able to route up to Gigabit speeds and provides almost all of the great features you would expect from a UniFi gateway with the exception of intrusion prevention and Intrusion detection systems (IPS/IDS).

This product is designed with home users in mind and is the easiest way to deploy a full UniFi network stack on a single device. If further expansion is required, it can manage up to 4 additional UniFi network devices and up to 60 clients.
Unlike the other gateway consoles it also features a mesh mode which allows you to use this device as a mesh access point on an existing UniFi network. If you outgrow this console and have to upgrade, it can be easily repurposed inside your network as a mesh access point.

Limitations
The compact design and versatility do however come with a trade off. Running UniFi OS onboard consumes additional CPU resources which ultimately affects the speed of boot up times and configuration changes. Using features which are more resource heavy such as VPN and Smart Queues would also be negatively impacted due to this limitation. Although this product is scalable for additional hardware and users, it will further bog down its processing capabilities. Its compact size and cloud-based approach make it perfect for homes and very small offices where only the basic features are required. Users can enjoy effortless setup and basic network control without needing additional hardware.
