Good Day…
This is exactly the installation that I’m currently utilizing… TELUS 1Gb/s fiber directly connected to a Ubiquity Security Gateway Pro 4 via the Wan 1 SFP port. Works flawlessly…

Now I don’t know if the SFP transceiver is removable from the g-240g-a type gateway so I can’t comment on that equipment.

Cheers…
How long have you been running yours for? Mine's been a few months and is starting to get a little iffy.
