Hi,

To have a USG-PRO-4 at home, I would say that with FTTH it is possible to configure internet access and IPv6.
For the TV part, I don’t know.

Another point, you must already be very familiar with tinkering. It will already be necessary to have a Unifi server (see unifi) and to know how to use SSH. Also follow the tutorials on the community.ubnt.com forum to create a JSON file in order to properly load the parameters into the USG.

In short, not for everyone.

Hi,

Thanks for the info. I looked at their forum and found some info on the TV party.

I think I’ll be fine with the config, it doesn’t change too much from Cisco at the SSH level.

In short, it is possible. I’ll get started at the end of the year and I’ll keep you posted.

Hi @Papaschulz

Actually the config doesn’t seem too complicated.

I just want to point out that the USG game is not identical to EdgeRouter (apart from the OS which accepts the same commands). You don’t have a web interface on the USG.

If you’re comfortable with Cisco, this shouldn’t bother you too much.

You can see on the page [unifi - customization](https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/215458888-UniFi-How-to-further-customize-USG-configuration-with-config- gateway-json) how to add the config permanently after manual configuration.

Good hunting, it shouldn’t be too difficult given the already known settings.

Hi,

Yes, so if I understood correctly, you have to go through Unifi Controller for the basic config and then go to SSH for the more advanced config.

But I’m between two choices

What do you think?

Thanks for the info @Jim1926

Hi @Papaschulz

If you don’t plan to use other products from the unifi range such as access points or their switches, installing a controller for the router can be a negative point.

Do you plan to bring the USG-Pro-4 to the show? or rather in the garage in a Rack cabinet? Personally, the noise of the basic USG-Pro-4 is unbearable and is not made to be in the living room. I had to change the fans (I put these) to have a correct level. Of course this is not at all good for the warranty.

If you just want a router, the EdgeRouter Pro will be much more interesting because it has a fairly complete web interface. On the other hand I haven’t tested it and so noise level I don’t know but given the chassis it must be the same thing, not made for the living room.

For the USG, the controller allows you to have a small part of the parameters via a web page (of the controller), otherwise you can configure it entirely via SSH but it is more annoying. In addition, each modification on the controller displays the handmade configuration.

For this to work, you must:

  1. adopt it on the controller
  2. ssh connection and manual modification (see the page I gave you)
  3. export manual config
  4. copy the manual config and check that the JSON config is ok
  5. save the config in a file and put it in the right place on the controller
  6. try a modification on the controller and check that everything applies

A little restrictive but once in place it’s good. Also the controller offers you two or three nice stats.
