      Sweet. There's a Micro Centre here too. Just north of 635 on 75 Central.

      What is the small white module in the upper right hand corner?

      That's the "cloud key", basically a hardware device that runs the control software for all the UniFi products.

      Not really worth it. for $5/month you can setup a vultr VM that will host this for you.

      Why couldn't one just use that USG for the wifi controller?

      The USG doesn't have the controller software in it. Don't ask me why, that would only seem to make sense, at least as an option.

      So what's special about the USG? It just looks like another router in the lineup.

        It's part of Unifi, the only one that is part of that family. The others are SNMP managed.

          Managed with the same console the Unifi APs are.

            I'm not sure many of us have tried the USG. It may be the best security gateway type device around, but being the best in a category doesn't mean the category of product is a good way to go about things.

              I think "Security Gateway" means "Firewall" here. I think you are thinking of a UTM.

                Ah, yep, sure am.

                  It's definitely not a UTM.

                  I have one at home now.

                    Just so we're clear on terms, firewall vs UTM, the difference you all are noting is access rules vs packet inspection?

                      No, that's both firewall. Ubiquiti does that stuff.

                      UTM is stuff like antivirus, web filtering and other heavy not directly network things.

                        All firewalls do access rules and FAIAP packet inspection. Anything less and it is just a router.
