  • (I hate static IPs as much as I hate Linux, just a problem waiting to come around in the future)For a good small business network
  • You need to be a little technical to know how to use it, but it has a lot of powerful features including awesome network statistics
  • I have taken a further interest in improving my home network and this has done wonders
  • You also need some good networking knowledge or a lot of time to figure things out if you're going to use this.
  • We bought one of the ERX's to ensure that we had a very stable and fast network.

  • One of the better product for home users if you don't need wifi access point or you can use an ap only!!
  • Wish it has the ability to be managed through cloudkey but still a great product.
  • The router itself is pretty fast when it's actually working, but for a webserver I need a reliable product.
  • I love Ubiquiti products, I use them both personally and professionally

  • You need to be a little technical to know how to use it, but it has a lot of powerful features including awesome network statistics
  • The extra features are great, I love being able to click on a single device and see what makes up its traffic.
  • While it is much more complete and visually appealing than any consumer router I've ever used, it is missing a lot of useful features, including almost everything pertaining to IPv6.
  • Now I have rock solid WiFi and the extra features and control on top.
  • Solid, does the trick, and I'm looking forward to improved centralized management with UNMS as it develops more (I believe it officially released 1.0 yesterday or today).I really love some of the advanced features, especially those available via command line only.

  • Since, after all, the original unit worked perfectly in the beginning also.
  • I am a network engineer - and for the price, this price of kit is awesome; so much functionality in such a small unit - excellent.
  • Combine with a separate wireless access point (I recommend TP-Link for the price) and you've got just as good a network setup, for far less money than a fancy combined unit.
  • If you can master the CLI, this unit does a lot!An advanced user can make this perform, a newbie might find the learning curve steep.

  • I set this up then decided to get the Ubiquiti USG , now I have a fantastic backup device and get to use this for lab testing as well
  • The EdgeRouter is not a plug-and-play device like most consumer routers, however--it does take a little time to set up.
  • My first impressions (2nd day) of this solid little device/router is Wow
  • That being said this device really isn't too hard to setup at all, and there is more advanced configuration available for users that need it
  • Don't let the great price fool you, this is a rock solid device.

  • The setup isn't easy per say but after you get it done you won't need to do anything else
  • So I switched over to this little router after basic setup and boom
