If you're just setting this stuff up and moving it elsewhere, just unpack it all where you are at, plug it in and get it internet access, adopt it in your account, and configure as if you'd want it running elsewhere. Should just work when it gets to where it's going.

just unpack it all where you
I'm not sure what you meant to say here, but it sounds like I just disconnect my current gateway at home and plug this one in, set it up how I want, and then it should just all work in the new location. That sounds pretty straightforward, thanks.
My concern was if connecting it to our home ISP (high speed fiber) and then putting it on a much slower DSL or, good forbid, satellite connection, would confuse it. I also think the new place will give us an all in one router/gateway combo that I might not be able to remove. Hopefully I can get it set to passthrough or bridge or something.
You don't even need to disconnect your current gateway. Ubi network hardware defaults to DHCP on WAN interfaces, because that's how it intends to get an address and download initial configs after being adopted into the cloud gateway, right?
So just unpack it, plug it into Ethernet off your current home network, create a new location deployment in your cloud portal, adopt the new gateway into that, make sure it gets its initial config from the cloud gateway, then configure it as if you were going to install at your remote location.
When your wife goes to this cabin, just plug it into the internet handoff, and you're ready to go as long as it gets an address and internet access. Any other changes you can make remotely via the cloud portal and have it's running config changed live, so you'll be able to fix any issue you may have.
Lemme know if something else doesn't make sense, but really all you need to remember is that as long as that gateway can get internet access, you can change its config from anywhere.
Perfect, I was hoping it would be this easy, but if there were going to be hangups I wanted to know in advance. Thank you!
