I’m not sure how it is that they still don’t have a hardware update to the USG3P that can enable both IPS and DPI without throttling network speeds to sub-80Mbps speeds. It’s been years now.

I’m a big fan of the ecosystem and I’ve recommended it to many people but I’m constantly astonished by the slow pace of hardware updates.

I guess you're more waiting for the XSG-Pro, which was announced at least a year ago but hasn't materialized yet. I'm guessing that the UDM and UDM-Pro are meeting the needs for most customers, although obviously they're not the right fit for everyone.

UDM Pro can do it. But there is no standalone security gateway that can do gigabit.

UDM Pro can do it, but can't do dual NICs yet. Still.

The USG3P can do gigabit (I get very close to gigabit speeds in internet speed tests - ~950/950) but I can’t use IPS/IDS without severe performance penalties. It basically becomes a fancy router with little in the way of actual “security” besides its basic firewall functionality.

I am aware of the UDM Pro and USG Pro but those things are expensive 1U monsters. Maybe fine for SMB use but this is for home use and I’m very space constrained.

If Ubiquiti made a small footprint security gateway with some modern hardware (the USG3P is some 8 years old at this point!) I’d buy it in an instant.

UXG-Pro is the successor to the USG. It’s available in the EA store. I was tempted to get it but it’s $500 so I’ll wait for it to go GA.
