Overview
- The Ubiquiti USW-WAN is a specialised 10G SFP+ switch engineered to link two UniFi Gateways in Shadow Mode High Availability configuration to a single ISP connection. This purpose-built switch eliminates single points of failure by enabling automatic failover between gateways, ensuring continuous network availability even during gateway failures.
With three 10G SFP+ ports (one ISP-facing uplink and two gateway downlinks), the USW-WAN provides high-speed inter-gateway communication while maintaining maximum throughput. Dual AC power inputs add resilience, allowing the switch to remain operational even if one power supply fails—critical for businesses where downtime translates directly to revenue loss.
Management and monitoring integrate seamlessly with UniFi Network, giving IT teams centralised visibility and control. For organisations requiring ISP-level failover, a second USW-WAN switch can be deployed to create fully redundant connectivity paths. The compact form factor makes it ideal for network closets and edge deployments.

FAQs
What is Shadow Mode High Availability and how does the USW-WAN support it?
Shadow Mode High Availability allows two UniFi Gateways to connect to a single ISP through the USW-WAN switch. If the primary gateway fails, the secondary gateway automatically takes over, ensuring uninterrupted internet connectivity without manual intervention.
Can the USW-WAN be used with multiple ISPs?
The USW-WAN is designed to link two gateways to a single ISP connection. For failover across multiple ISPs, a second USW-WAN switch should be deployed as recommended in the product documentation.
What are the dual AC power inputs used for?
The two AC power inputs provide power redundancy. If one power supply fails, the switch continues operating on the second input, maintaining gateway connectivity and preventing network downtime.
Is the USW-WAN managed through the UniFi Network controller?
Yes. The USW-WAN connects to your UniFi Network controller via its Gigabit Ethernet management port, allowing centralised monitoring, configuration, and troubleshooting alongside other UniFi network devices.
What SFP+ modules do I need for the USW-WAN ports?
The USW-WAN uses 10G SFP+ ports. You will need appropriate 10G SFP+ transceivers (such as SFP-10G-SR or SFP-10G-LR) matched to your ISP uplink and gateway downlink cable types.
Can I daisy-chain or stack multiple USW-WAN switches?
The USW-WAN is designed specifically for two-gateway high-availability configurations. For more complex topologies, consult the installation guide or contact Ubiquiti support.
