Keep your eyes on this link--there's usually some deeply discounted open box/new stuff in there every so often if you're patient enough:

What's your budget on your USG? I saw two used one on Amazon, one for ~$85 and the other is ~$90.
I second this ^ if you plan on going with most of the ubiquiti stack the UDM/UDMP is the way to go.Im mot sure what your usage scenario is or budget but I own a Dream Machine Pro and its amazing. So if you dont find a usg look at the UDP. Really great firewall for the home. Can handle any internet connection you can throw at it even with IDD/IPS on.

At least 8x better speed/performance with IDS/IPS turned on, they run the controller for you, and it doesn't use a janky ass DC brick for power.
If you opt for the regular UDM it has the equivalent to about a nanoHD access point built into it too.
So USG ($140) + AP ($180) + Controller Key ($100) the UDMs $300 price isn't so far off.
Really the only thing I wish both of the dream machines had was a few or all POE ports, they would be perfect if it did (then again it'd compete with their switch sales).
Edit: IMO the only thing the USG is good for nowadays is trying out the ubiquiti gateway line since its cheap used (or if your internet is max of 100/100Mbps or less).
Let me know!I'm getting a UDMP in a couple weeks, I can give ya a deal on a usg if you want then. Currently in use.
so with IDS/IPS off, and hardware offloading turned on, what kind of speeds would i be looking at with the USG?gig symetrical you won't be able to run IDS/IPS on a USG, but everything else will work fine. Line speed on the cpu in the USG is about 85 megs. For anything that can handle 1 gig line speed you're in the $300-400 range for starters.
I'm running a usg with att gigapower currently and unraid unifi container too, as long as you leave IPS/IDS off you're good (though I did try turning it on and still got about 250/250).so with IDS/IPS off, and hardware offloading turned on, what kind of speeds would i be looking at with the USG?

I get the full 930+ up and down with it off, at l least when speed testing, :https://www.speedtest.net/my-result/d/ba472410-38aa-4fcc-b24c-cd726f6a1329
I love the full upload speeds, really convenient for hosting plex, I can game and do whatever I want without streams, downloads, or otherwise affecting my latency.
Side note, dont trust the built in usg speed test, it maxes out at about 250/250.
Also make sure the USG is vertical (on its side), it gets really fuggin hot if you leave it sitting horizontal (the light facing upwards or downwards).
I actually printed one of these not realizing the position could affect it so much: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2469629#filesAwesome, thanks, thats what i was hoping for.
Thanks for the tip on the positioning
