Isn't the UniFi Gateway Lite[1] just that?

That device is so suspect. Old, dual core processor, 1GB of DDR3 and, supposedly, "next-gen" security features including IPS. Riiiiiight.

Barely can break 350mbps with IDs and IPS enabled and starts getting buffer overload. I'm pretty sure Mikrotik had a faster router a few years before the usg4 hit the market for about the same price.

what unifi sold people on was cloud managed easy config and it just started working somewhat in the last version for me. Really feels like they need to triple down on the software front and beef the midrange hardware.

I just looked the other day - as I'm getting symmetric 2gb fiber in a few months and unifi has some wild high end router but it seems like it needs more on the CPU and ram front still, too. OpenSense here I come?

Without necessarily defending Ubiquiti's oftentimes-weird product lineup, IDS/IPS are basically useless, so there's not much point worrying about what they do to raw WAN speed.
