Overview
- The Ubiquiti USW-WAN-RJ45 is a specialised 10 GbE WAN switch engineered to link two UniFi Gateways in Shadow Mode High Availability configuration to a single ISP connection. This enables seamless failover and redundancy, ensuring continuous internet access even if one gateway fails.
With one 10 GbE ISP uplink port and two 10 GbE downlink ports, the switch provides the necessary connectivity fabric for high-availability deployments. Dual AC power inputs deliver power redundancy, eliminating a single point of failure in the power supply chain.
The dedicated 1 GbE management port integrates directly with UniFi Network for centralised monitoring and control. For ISP failover scenarios requiring complete redundancy, an additional USW-WAN-RJ45 switch can be deployed. This purpose-built solution is ideal for organisations where network availability is critical.

FAQs
What is Shadow Mode High Availability?
Shadow Mode allows two UniFi Gateways to connect to a single ISP via the USW-WAN-RJ45 switch. One gateway serves as the primary, and the other remains in standby. If the primary gateway fails, the secondary automatically takes over, ensuring continuous internet connectivity.
Can I use just one USW-WAN-RJ45 for redundancy?
A single USW-WAN-RJ45 enables Shadow Mode High Availability for gateway failover. For complete ISP failover redundancy, Ubiquiti recommends deploying an additional USW-WAN-RJ45 switch as part of a fully redundant design.
What are the dual AC power inputs for?
The dual AC power inputs provide power redundancy. If one power source fails, the switch continues operating from the other input, eliminating power supply as a single point of failure in your network infrastructure.
Is the management port required?
The dedicated 1 GbE management port connects to your UniFi Network controller for device management, monitoring, and configuration. It is recommended for full visibility and control of your network.
Does the USW-WAN-RJ45 work with non-UniFi gateways?
The USW-WAN-RJ45 is designed specifically for Ubiquiti UniFi Gateway deployments in Shadow Mode High Availability. Compatibility with non-UniFi equipment is not supported.
What is the typical use case for this switch?
The USW-WAN-RJ45 is ideal for organisations requiring high availability and network resilience, such as businesses, service providers, and enterprises where internet downtime is costly or unacceptable.
