Ubiquiti UniFi Express (UX) - Compact WiFi 6 Gateway and Access Point

The Ubiquiti UniFi Express (UX) delivers enterprise-grade networking in a compact form factor. This all-in-one device combines a UniFi Cloud Gateway, WiFi 6 access point, and router functionality into a single 98 x 98 x 30 mm unit weighing just 302g.

WiFi 6 Performance and Coverage

Built with 2x2 MIMO technology across both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, the UX provides wireless coverage up to 140 m² (1,500 ft²). The device supports 60+ concurrent WiFi clients with throughput rates of 573.5 Mbps on 2.4 GHz and 2.4 Gbps on 5 GHz. Internal dual-band antennas deliver 4 dBi gain on 2.4 GHz and 5.15 dBi on 5 GHz.

Network Connectivity and Management

The UniFi Express features one Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 WAN port and one GbE RJ45 LAN port for network extension. Management is accessible via Ethernet and Bluetooth interfaces, with a 0.96" LCM status display providing real-time monitoring. The device draws a maximum of 10W power through USB Type-C (5V DC/3A).

Advanced Security and QoS Features

Security protocols include WPA-PSK and WPA-Enterprise (WPA/WPA2/WPA3). The UX supports 802.1Q VLAN tagging, per-user rate limiting, and guest traffic isolation. With 8 BSSIDs per radio and zero wait DFS support, the device offers flexible network configuration options.

WiFi Standards and Compatibility

The UniFi Express supports 802.11a/b/g legacy standards alongside WiFi 4 (802.11n), WiFi 5 (802.11ac), and WiFi 6 (802.11ax). Data rates range from 1 Mbps (802.11b) up to 2.4 Gbps (WiFi 6 MCS0-MCS11), ensuring compatibility with all modern wireless devices.

Technical Specifications

Housed in a polycarbonate enclosure, the UX operates in temperatures from -10 to 45°C with 5-95% non-condensing humidity. The device holds CE, FCC, and IC certifications. Maximum transmit power reaches 22 dBm on 2.4 GHz and 25 dBm on 5 GHz bands.
