      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.

      https://unifi-xg.ubnt.com/usg-xg-8
      They just call it an XG Gateway

      Searching for Unifi XG comes up with this as the top result.

      Hence the confusion on my part.

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

          Wow, that's quite a leap from their other models.

              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).

                                  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.

                                          @JaredBusch Do you think they need to offer something between the ERPro-8 and the ER-8-XG?

                                            The ER-6P is better than the ER-Pro8 in all but PPS, which seems odd, but shoulder shrug.
