    Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X Advanced Gigabit Ethernet Routers ER-X 256MB Storage 5 Gigabit RJ45 ports

    • But this thing tops it all
    • This thing is freaking awesome if you are somewhat tech savvy, since you have to actually tell it what
    • Another cool thing this device performs hardware based Packet Captures (Those of you who use Wireshark know how it can be really slow when your performing a capture on a computer that's really busy on the network, thats because it is software based!) and it leverages the CPU/RAM of the router to do it
    • This thing screams and give you realtime statistics
    • In an apartment i can get by with 3 and use wifi for all of my smart devices and consoles).The really neat thing about this router is the customization
    • One slightly annoying thing is the poe ports seem to be limited to 100 mbps
    • Setup was easy if you know even the most basic things about routers and networking.24v POE is really only useful for other Ubiquiti products.
    • This thing is impossible to Port forward
    • At this price point this thing is insane.
    • This thing is like a full featured firewall that's not much larger than a deck of cards.
    • If you know what you are doing and enjoy setting things up on your own, I highly recommend this as an inexpensive router.
    • Win 10 hates this thing.
    • Win 10 hates this thing.
    • ISP advertised speeds on all my devices (wired/wireless), so that's a good thing.
    • This thing is great, I have it upgrade to the newest firmware.
    • You have to be a masochist geek to like this thing
    • 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.
    • I can't say enough good things about this router.
    • Very active community and easy to find answers to setup more difficult things.
    • Note: the hardest thing was finding where to put the DNS server for the gateway
    • This thing is fantastic
    • This does most things just as well.
    • Don't waste your money on some linksys product... get this thing instead... you will NOT regret it!
    • Someone must have thought that putting every imaginable option in a UI was a great thing
    • Now, things are just super.
    • This is very frusterating when trying to do things like activate DHCP so you can get machines on the network to take IP'sYou're pretty much going to be 100% on your own with this, trying to find any information on the MANY setup issues you WILL have with this router by browsing forums and trying random solutions until something decides to work for no reason
    • I received wouldn't update via the gui and instead required cml methods, yet another thing most endusers would have serious issue with.
    • Bought just to check out their routers and these things are fantastic
    • But this thing is different/difficult.
    • and you don't have to take that extra step, which would simplify things a lot for the non-experts
    • there's just no excuse anymore for not making things clear and easy...
    • I have heard and seem good things about this item however the one I receive was faulty and I had to ship back
    • This router was also not the easiest thing to get set up as the initial set up is not just plug and play
    • Yes, yes, I am a network engineer / geek and I must say, having heard great thing about Ubiquiti products through the geek vine, I actually didn't read the reviews until today.
    • Now if you are OK with linux, doing things like finding help for various bash commands online, applying ip table ruless or modifying networkd and building a server, this is the router for you.
    • This thing is a steal for under $60.
