There are two categories: Gateways and Cloud Gateways.
Gateways are just routers and nothing else. These are managed by a Cloud Key or self-hosted UniFi Network application. They don’t run any software, and don’t do anything besides act as a firewall/gateway/router.
Cloud Gateways are routers that run software. At a minimum they run the UniFi Network application. They manage themselves and other UniFi switches and APs. They can’t be managed by a Cloud Key or self-hosted controller*.
These have been called “UniFi OS Consoles” or “Gateway Consoles” and other terms, but Cloud Gateway is the current branding .
Some of these run other UniFi software like Protect, Talk, Access, or Identity.
*Besides the new UniFi Express (UX), which can be used as an access point. There is always an asterisk on everything.
Controller is a general term for a device that runs the UniFi Network application. It can be self-hosted on your own hardware, a Cloud Key, a cloud server, or a UniFi Cloud Gateway™ like the Dream Machine Pro or UniFi Express.
