Yes, I have this in operation. Together with a media converter (Art-Nr 2739939). Select VLAN ID 10 via Unifi Controller (Windows software) (Configuration-->WAN). Enter the following via SSH (Putty): configure set interfaces ethernet eth0 description "Internet Swisscom". edit interfaces ethernet eth0 vif 10 dhcp-options set client-option "send vendor-class-identifier "100008,0001";" commit save This is the short version of this manual or help: https://community.ubnt.com/t5/EdgeMAX/EdgeRouter-setup-for-Swiss-FTTH-providers/td-p/1658929 The problem is that the USG loses the settings at every restart. To prevent this, a json file must be created to load the settings automatically. Explanations can be found here: https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/215458888-UniFi-How-to-further-customize-USG-configuration-with-config-gateway-json The whole thing needs some time to get used to but runs stable afterwards.

Well, the power supply unit is 12 V, they are a dime a dozen (and you usually have some lying around somewhere from other devices). Actually, it's only a question of whether the hollow plug on the USG fits (positive inner conductor, that's practically the case with everything, but there are different diameters - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hohlstecker). You just have to try it out to see if there is a contact. There are also universal power supplies with many different plugs, but will one fit?

I have all 3 device variants in use at various locations and it would be completely new to me if the small USG was no longer updated via controller and thus end-of-life or "no longer up2date"... For the upgrades (except for one location with UDM-Pro) I also use my own Ubuntu VM with installed Unifi controller software and keep different generations of USG and switches up2date without any problems.

Hey, I have a similar problem, I've been waiting since October for the USG I ordered, but the delivery date keeps getting postponed. It said 13 January, now it says "unknown" again. I have now investigated and it looks like the product is obsolete and has been replaced by Ubiquiti with the "UniFi Next-Gen Gateway Lite" or as it is called on the homepage "Gateway Lite": https://eu.store.ui.com/eu/en/collections/unifi-accessory-tech-hosting-and-gateways-small-scale/products/uxg-lite And yes, you won't find it on Digitec because they call it something else, namely "Ubiquiti UniFi UXG" -> Ubiquiti UniFi UXG I can't guarantee that this is correct, it's just what I've found out so far. I think it's pretty bad that Digitec doesn't somehow realise this and point it out to us in one way or another. Yes, you can't even compare the two devices, as the USG is defined as a "router" (which is not true at all) and the AXG as an "access point"...

Hoi - it's not a switch, but a firewall and you could meshen the access points... That is, one connects to the other via Wifi... Otherwise: Keep the router (you will probably need it anyway from your ISP?) and use a simple 0815 switch and connect both APs to it....and to the switch to the router. Depending on the AP, these have 1 or 2 network outlets (and sometimes you can use them, sometimes pair them). You'll have to check the schemas for your APS at Unifi. I have 3 APs in the basement - one is via RJ45 uplink to a switch (just from Unifi because it was cheap at the time and LACP was so easy to use) - the other two: 1 is via mesh (wifi) to the one with uplink, the other via second switch via RJ45 to the one via mesh.... works too. With mesh you lose some bandwidth... but for my purposes that is completely sufficient. LG

since i have no idea what your it knowledge is... i assume that the "swisscom side" has 192.168.x.x address range... have you configured the usg so that it is in a different network ip-wise? can you ping your default gw from the usg? there can be about 1000 things wrong somewhere.

According to https://www.sunrise.ch/content/dam/sunrise/residential/hilfe/internet/Sunrise_Home_Handbuch_Sunrise_Internet_Box_neue_firmware_d.pdf it should be possible to set the router to bridge mode.

The phones only work with the Wingo Internet Box. With DSL, the USG is also not suitable as a replacement, as you need a VDSL or G.DSL-capable device. See https://www.wingo.ch/de/kann-ich-fuer-wingo-internet-meinen-eigenen-router-verwenden You will therefore have to operate the USG behind the Wingo Box. I have also solved this problem including TV.

It depends on what you want to do. By default (i.e. from the controller software) you can use the second LAN (or WAN2) interface only for failover purposes, otherwise you have to create a config.gateway.json file that configures the port (see various discussions in https://community.ui.com). Otherwise, work with separate VLANs (if the DMZ is virtualised), or use the Salt router as the outer router and the Ubiquiti as the inner router (with or without NAT).

Is that a question or a statement? Regarding the CH power cable, I can't shake the feeling that they occasionally avoid including an adapter, which they really should ;-) I have already contacted Digitec customer service for various products where this was the case and it was delivered free of charge. But yes... it should have been included right from the start.

If the MR600 behaves like a normal router, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I operate the ISG on 2 routers in parallel, with failover in case the first one drops out. One of them is a cable modem from UPC, the other a Fritzbox.

that's no problem. i have it exactly the same way because i don't want swisscom on my network. swisscom router--usg-div.switches-apacpro on the swisscom router 2 tv uhd tv boxes connection router-usg: usg on dhcp everything standard, nothing adjusted important: you need two different networks: so router-side default e.g. 192.168.1.0 your network: 10.0.0.0 I have operated the whole thing with a raspberry pi as a unifi network controller. without extended setup it is clear that the "home functionalities" of SC cannot be used in the advertised environment. but I don't need it because I have a chromecast on the tv which is connected to the internal network and so I can also bring everything from the internal network to the tv. good luck

yes and no ^^ you can use both devices but then you have double nat which isn't really great and won't do you much good. noramlerwise you use a different router and don't connect two together for that but you would have to swap your centro with an ftth converter so that the public ip is on the security gateway. it would be easier if you could say what you want to achieve with this or why you want this product? because it is probably the wrong one :)
