Threat Prevention Throughput: 2.3 Gbps IDS/IPS per Ubiquiti tech specs page (techspecs.ui.com), no test conditions listed; older datasheet lists 1.5 Gbps measured with iPerf3 on a DHCP network
IPsec VPN Throughput: Not published by Ubiquiti; site-to-site IPsec, OpenVPN, WireGuard and L2TP supported; WireGuard roughly 500-1,000 Mbps per unofficial third-party reviews
Max Sessions: Not published by Ubiquiti
New Sessions/sec: Not published by Ubiquiti
Interfaces: 5x 2.5GbE RJ45 (2.5G/1G/100M/10M); 1 default WAN port, up to 4 WAN-capable; no SFP/SFP+ ports

Max Power Consumption: 16.1 W (USB-C 5V DC/5A)
Curation Review
✔ Pros:Five 2.5GbE RJ45 ports on a compact desktop chassis; Full UniFi OS with IDS/IPS and built-in NVR-capable NVMe storage; Quad-core A53 @ 1.5 GHz with 3 GB RAM handles 30+ UniFi devices and 300+ clients; Supports site-to-site IPsec, OpenVPN, WireGuard and L2TP; Low power draw of 16.1 W; Retail reviews describe it as stable and low-maintenance
✘ Cons:Ubiquiti does not publish firewall, IPsec VPN, max session or new-session-per-second figures; IDS/IPS rating conflicts between 1.5 Gbps and 2.3 Gbps with no clear test conditions; No SFP/SFP+ uplink, so fiber or 10GbE WAN requires a different model; Only 2.5GbE maximum port speed, which limits gigabit-plus WAN designs; Street prices vary widely by retailer (roughly $317-$460 seen in current US listings)
✔ Pros:Strong 39 Gbps firewall throughput for a mid-size enterprise edge device; 11 million concurrent sessions and 400,000 new TCP sessions/sec; 8x 10GE SFP+ ports for high-speed uplinks and LAN; bundled FortiGuard security services (IPS, antivirus, SD-WAN) available via licensing; reviewers describe stable performance and IPsec tunnels that are easy to build and interoperate with other vendors' devices; compact 1U form factor
✘ Cons:High hardware and licensing costs, with bundles significantly above the hardware-only price; threat prevention throughput (6 Gbps) is far below rated firewall throughput, so security-inspection-heavy deployments need careful sizing; no 25GbE ports; firmware updates have been reported to introduce bugs affecting stability; Fortinet technical support response time and quality are a frequent complaint; licensing model is seen as inflexible; port counts differ across sources, so verify against Fortinet's official datasheet
