      The USG is the Unifi Security Gateway and the XG is an Access Point.

      They aren't remotely the same thing, so what you're asking doesn't make sense.

      https://unifi-xg.ubnt.com/usg-xg-8
      They just call it an XG Gateway

      Wow, that's quite a leap from their other models.

        Searching for Unifi XG comes up with this as the top result.

        https://www.ubnt.com/unifi/unifi-ap-xg/

        Hence the confusion on my part.

        Yeah I got excited when I thought I found the XG Gateway on Amazon for $400. Then i saw it was just the switch.

        LOL, yeah, that's the XG I'm familiar with.

          Yeah it really is. Honestly I need something between the XG and the Pro model.

            It is still something I would never use.

            I want my router to be a router.

                    The infinity is the ER8-XG. See something the same there

                      Jeez... The ER-8-XG seems a bit overkill unless you're doing some quite hefty internetting, lol... So does the price tag! (Still priced dang better than a Cisco).

                          ROFL. How many users are actually on campus now?

                              You're still hovering around 500 mb/s for internet, right?

                                @dafyre Yup! This Feb we're going to finally get gig I believe. There's another ISP that's emerged that's threatening our current one :).

                                  It's all about 10 Gig ports.

                                  I don't know about most of you - but I definitely don't need that.

                                  Yeah something in the middle would be kinda nice.

                                    There is. See the link to to the full comparison. I was laughing about the comparison from top to nearly bottom.

                                      @JaredBusch Do you think they need to offer something between the ERPro-8 and the ER-8-XG?

                                        The ER-6P is better than the ER-Pro8 in all but PPS, which seems odd, but shoulder shrug.

                                          Looking at the Comparison link JB Posted, I'd probably check out the ER4 or the ER-6P.

                                            No. There are enough options already.

                                            And the jump to more than gigabit is huge. so there really is no need for something in between. You are jumping from general internet to backbone.
