UniFi USG and XG
-
Looking to move to the XG over the summer. Is the USG comparable as far as software features? I want to be comfortable with the interface before we spend a few thousand.

The USG is the Unifi Security Gateway and the XG is an Access Point.
They aren't remotely the same thing, so what you're asking doesn't make sense.

Yeah I got excited when I thought I found the XG Gateway on Amazon for $400. Then i saw it was just the switch.

Yeah it really is. Honestly I need something between the XG and the Pro model.

It is still something I would never use.
I want my router to be a router.

The infinity is the ER8-XG. See something the same there
-
Jeez... The ER-8-XG seems a bit overkill unless you're doing some quite hefty internetting, lol... So does the price tag! (Still priced dang better than a Cisco).

ROFL. How many users are actually on campus now?

You're still hovering around 500 mb/s for internet, right?
-
@dafyre Yup! This Feb we're going to finally get gig I believe. There's another ISP that's emerged that's threatening our current one :).

It's all about 10 Gig ports.
I don't know about most of you - but I definitely don't need that.
Yeah something in the middle would be kinda nice.
