This is a solid router with good features for a great price.

They go for a very good price and have the great tech support

and you're somewhat tech savvy, this is a great product at a good price

Really nice product, great functionality, and excellent price.

Great small router with advanced features and a great price.

This little router has a lot of features you probably don't need...and that's why it's an incredible value at sub $60.

This has to be the best value, most flexible firewall you can buy.

I feel like I had already received more value than I paid for after my initial setup and use, because the router simply worked and worked well without issue (really all I wanted)

I'm hoping to string together several months without needing to reboot!Pros:- Great value for the price-

Great value for a fully capable little router for a home or small business setup

Pros - seems to offer a lot of great features for people who know more than I do

This is a solid router with good features for a great price.

This router is pretty good and has a great feature set.

It has worked flawlessly and gives great features / performance for the price.

Performance is great and security features really good.

This router can suck to configure if you're not used to CLI (which I'm not used to) but if you update it, then the wizards are amazing

It’s a bit more challenging than most consumer routers to setup, but has good wizards

The wizards aren't 100% clear if you don't have network experience, but if you're up for a challenge and learning a bit, this router is good in that sense.

very nice device, would give it 5 stars if the wizards (for less experienced admins) would be better

The GUI wizards are good enough to get a novice up and running but you'll want to learn the CLI if you really want to unlock potential with this device.

Ubiquiti has a good reputation, and the price was right

It looks like Ubiquiti has a video online that describes how to do it in detail...

Ubiquiti is mostly sold for office installs but the price point works great for the networking professional who wants the best at home.

but Ubiquiti is improving their Wizard-based web configuration

Cons: You have to know your way around the Ubiquiti support website.

If you are becoming frustrated that your SOHO network is continually threatened by malicious hackers, and want to start segmenting your network, or watch more of what's going on - then this device is really, really hard to beat!A solid recommendation for more experienced network admins on a budget, or working on a SOHO project!

Amazing device with professional feature set, all for ~$50.

It is a highly complex and manageable device that requires a good bit of well-thought design before being operational

Amazing device for the price; taking one star off because of a very bad glitch affecting the latest two firmware versions (site-to-site IPSEC tunnels from a dynamic public IP to a FQDN are broken)

If you have a little or an abundance of networking knowledge, this device is a steal

Full gigabit linux-based OS will root access, so you can configure for unsupported options, like making it function as a Pi-Hole, for almost the same price as a Pi, but with a LOT more functionality (like gigabit throughput!).

Perfect for small businesses that are looking for something more capable with powerful VPN options or the power home user

Anyway, highly recommended for those who know just enough about networking to get in trouble, and looking to add options or improve performance on a home or small office network

Anyway, once you have the right option(s) selected then you can go back and insert it in to your network.

Their only available option of support by email was a joke.

Performance was awful.

This is the best raw performance you can get out of a router for the money.

Performance is great and security features really good.

It has worked flawlessly and gives great features / performance for the price.

I also take strong exception to being asked to conduct troubleshooting for the manufacturer such as setting up SNMP to monitor memory leaks, etc -- something the manufacture should be doing *before* introducing the product to market with advertised capabilities, providing configuration guides, and then complaining "not many people use that service" (such as IGMP proxy) as an excuse for their own very poor QA.Sad performance, really sad,dpPS - The reseller I just bought the replacement from said these types of complaints are not uncommon.

Best cheapest product out there that provides amazing security.

Really nice product, great functionality, and excellent price.

Great product, has been working flawlessly since install

and you're somewhat tech savvy, this is a great product at a good price

Great product, has been working flawlessly since install

Has many features for those who have complex network needs

The configuration is easy, but it can handle very complex networking.

Was able to split one network into three with very little configuration

Pair it with an Access Point and a Modem for a great home network

It can get pretty technical if you are not network savvy as this is a small business router

Note: the hardest thing was finding where to put the DNS server for the gateway

One slightly annoying thing is the poe ports seem to be limited to 100 mbps

This router was also not the easiest thing to get set up as the initial set up is not just plug and play

I received wouldn't update via the gui and instead required cml methods, yet another thing most endusers would have serious issue with.

Not the easiest thing to setup if you are not familiar with corporate level equipment however since I have set it up it hasn't even flinched.

It definitely isn't plug n' play but setup isn't terribly difficult.

Beware, this is not for a novice, setup is tricky but is fully configureable.

However, be warned that the setup IS difficult, and slightly obscure even to

Setup was a breeze and both the CLI and GUI are easy to use

The setup was easy and connecting the rest of my devices was a snap

this didn't support 802.3af PoE, but other than that I was blown away by the value

I'm powering it with the passive POE injector that came with my Ubiquiti wireless AP, with the AP connected to eth4 which is in POE passthru mode - works perfect.

The PoE on this is extremely convenient, especially when paired with a Unifi AP - plug in the injector, connect to the router, enable PoE for eth4 and connect your UAP and you're in business.

Easy setup and POE pass-thru is a plus.

Powering it via 24V passive PoE while also powering a Unfii AP via PoE passthrough really simplified the cabling requirements.

Great feature set for the more tech-savvy people looking for a high quality home router without breaking the bank

NO help available; many online complaints, few people have found ways to make it work and provide their inputs, but didn't work for me.

Most people familiar with Cisco IOS will have no trouble adapting to this

If you get it wrong you will be letting the wrong people into your network

I think people are overstating how complicated it is to set it up

Updated to 1.7.0 but no great improvements. need to be able to easily filter by MAC addresses in and Address Group like structure without having to use CLI and be able to filter by full or partial Host Name the same way.

I finally realized my static IP address for setup was for the second LAN on port 0.

I even had to tweak the static IP address to finally connect to the ER-X.

Initial setup requires a static IP address be set on the computer to talk to the ER-X.

Here at work, configured for a static IP address, which by itself was not easy, but there are straightforward instructions in the Ubiquii help.

The router only managed an uptime of a couple days before completely dumping its config randomly and requiring a hard reset in order to get it back up.

There have been a number of times where it just dumps the config on

Much like Juniper you can dump the config as a structured file

It keeps losing its config for no reason, and becomes completely unreachable

So you dump the config and move it off for safe keeping

I finally realized my static IP address for setup was for the second LAN on port 0.

Worked flawlessly right out of the box, I used the wizard to it up and only had to make slight configuration changes to setup address pools in the correct IP range and reserve static routes

Initial setup requires a static IP address be set on the computer to talk to the ER-X.

Initial setup requires you to connect your computer to port eth0 and use a static IP on your PC in the 192.168.1.0 subnet other than 192.168.1.1

I wanted my computer on LAN 2 (port 2) but could not get that to work until I finally remembered to change from a static IP address to using DHCP.
