Ubiquiti UCG Ultra / Max

Hi

I currently use a Archer C7 and am planning to upgrade to the UCG Ultra or Max for my home use. Then flash the Archer with OpenWrt and use it as a AP. My primary purpose for upgrading is better firewall security, IDS/IPS and vlan to segregate my network.

I would prefer the Max for the 2.5G ports (would help with the NAS) but it seems to be unavailable in India. Does anyone know any store / website where it is available? If I get it from US, would it be possible to claim warranty here?

The UCG Ultra is available from Fgtechstore for 13k. Is Fgtechstore a reliable site?

Can you suggest a Unifi AP (Wifi 6 preferably, cheaper the better) to go with the UCG in case I don’t use the Archer? My flat is about 1200 sq ft.

Thanks for your help as usual!

Yes to this, there are some posts mentioning this site here as well if you search for it.

Yes, sir. Initiate a chat and one of their staff members will assist you.

The store is in Andheri if you happen to be in Mumbai.

I bought the flex mini switch from them 3 months ago, reliable delivery and packaging.

You can buy from them without hesitation.

The cheapest wifi 6 model from Unifi is U6+. I am not sure if fgtechstore has it in stock at the moment

FGTech has been pretty reliable so far, as for AP(s) while one would work but since we have Thick Concrete walls here I’d heavily advice you to get 2 APs and put them on both ends of your flat

Got tired of waiting around for UCG Max. Purchased the UCG Ultra and U6+ from the Ubiquiti official store. Purchasing from the store was smooth - ordered on Day 0, Shipped on Day 1 and delivered on Day 2 via Bluedart (in Mumbai).

Quite happy with the UCG Ultra, not so much with the U6+ - it hasn’t done much to increase my wifi speed or range over my old Archer C7. I think I need to flash it with OpenWRT and put it in repeater mode.
