Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Router 5G Max | UDR-5G-MAX Wi-Fi 7 Gateway

Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Router 5G Max (UDR-5G-MAX)

The Ubiquiti UDR-5G-MAX represents the pinnacle of all-in-one desktop network architecture, packing a high-capacity security gateway, a gigabit-class 5G cellular modem, a tri-band Wi-Fi 7 access point, and a full UniFi application controller into a single standalone console. Purpose-built for modern deployments requiring absolute WAN connectivity uptime—such as remote offices, high-end residential estates, temporary exhibition sites, and critical retail hubs—this gateway turns high-speed cellular networks into a primary or failover internet pipe.

Driven by an upgraded processor frame and 3 GB of DDR4 system memory, the UDR-5G-MAX hosts the full UniFi OS suite natively. It easily orchestrates 30+ adopted UniFi switches and access points, supports over 300 concurrent user sessions, and acts as a localised central hub for security, door access, and IP telephony networks.

Gigabit-Class 5G Cellular WAN & Dual SIM Redundancy

The defining engineering feature of the UDR-5G-MAX is its internal sub-6 GHz 5G modem module, which provides robust cellular connectivity straight out of the chassis:

• 3.4 Gbps Peak Cellular Downlink: Supports 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) speeds up to 3.4 Gbps download (and up to 1.8 Gbps on Standalone 5G networks), providing a true alternative to physical wired multi-gigabit fibre lines.

• Multi-Carrier Failover Matrix: Equipped with two physical Nano-SIM slots alongside modern internal eSIM subscription profile mapping. Network planners can load multiple cellular providers simultaneously, configuring automated, hitless failover or multi-WAN load balancing rules across cellular and wired internet lines.

• High-Gain Cellular Aerial Array: Built with a high-mass internal multi-band antenna array optimised for weak signal penetration, pulling strong data feeds even in dense urban or metal-framed environments.

Tri-Band Wi-Fi 7 Wireless Grid Architecture

The wireless array inside the UDR-5G-MAX leverages the full suite of Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) standards across an uncrowded wireless footprint:

• 10.6 Gbps Composite Air Link Speed: Splices six individual spatial streams across 2.4 GHz (688 Mbps), 5 GHz (4.3 Gbps), and the pristine 6 GHz (5.7 Gbps) wireless bands to achieve massive wireless distribution capacities.

• 320 MHz Ultra-Wide Channels: Opens wide 320 MHz wireless signal lanes on the 6 GHz spectrum. This provides double the spatial width of legacy Wi-Fi 6 hardware, allowing massive file movements and zero-latency media pipelines to flow smoothly.

• Multi-Link Operation (MLO): Enables compatible modern client devices to bind to multiple wireless frequencies concurrently, actively moving data packets past localised radio frequency (RF) interference barriers.

Advanced 10G Interface & PoE Power Mapping

The physical terminal block at the rear provides immediate access to high-speed multi-gigabit wired distribution lines and localised power output:

Line-Rate Security Gates & Expanded 4.7" Touchscreen

• 2.3 Gbps Deep Threat Inspection: Features a highly sophisticated stateful firewall, deep packet inspection (DPI), ad-blocking, and signature-based Intrusion Prevention/Detection Systems (IPS/IDS). The security processor handles up to 20,000 active signatures, sustaining a high 2.3 Gbps threat scanning rate without impacting network traffic flow.

• Enlarged 4.7-Inch LCM Touchscreen: Stepping up significantly from previous iterations, the front panel houses an elongated, high-resolution colour touchscreen. Technicians can swipe through live charts, check cellular signal metrics, test carrier pings, monitor active PoE power draw, and view live client counts directly from the chassis.

• UniFi Protect Surveillance Node: Out of the box, the console features an integrated microSD slot pre-populated with an industrial 64GB microSD card. Running the UniFi Protect application natively, it acts as a network video recorder (NVR) to manage continuous or motion-triggered storage loops for up to 5 HD, 2 2K, or 1 4K security surveillance cameras.
