UniFi Security Gateway (USG)

The UniFi Security Gateway is an essential component for securing your home network. It acts as a firewall, protecting your network from external threats. The USG includes deep packet inspection and intrusion detection, ensuring that any malicious activity is identified and blocked. It also offers advanced routing capabilities, which help manage your network traffic efficiently.

UniFi Access Points

UniFi Access Points (APs) provide reliable wireless connectivity throughout your home. They come with robust security features, including WPA3 encryption, which ensures that your wireless communication is secure. UniFi APs are designed to provide seamless coverage and can be easily managed through the UniFi Controller software, allowing you to monitor and control your network from a single interface.

We can work with you to deploy a small, family-friendly home server or servers where you need some additional security or home automation. These can provide a range of additional services to further enhance your home environment.

Setting Up and Managing Your Network

Setting up a Ubiquiti home network is straightforward and can be done by following these simple steps:

• Plan your network: Determine the areas in your home where you need wireless coverage and identify the devices that will be connected to your network.
• Install the hardware: Start by installing the USG when your internet connection enters your home. Then, place the UniFi APs in strategic locations to ensure optimal coverage.
• Connect your devices: Connect your wired devices to the UniFi Switches and ensure that your wireless devices are connected to the UniFi APs.
• Configure the network: Use the UniFi Controller software to configure your network settings. Set up your firewall rules, configure your wireless security settings, and create VLANs if necessary.
