There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I purchased a Unifi AP and needed a router, I read it was beneficial to have PoE pass-through capability. Seeing that the EdgerouterX met this requirement, wasn’t very expensive, and also had the ability to configure each port individually it seemed appealing, even though I didn’t fully understand what it meant at the time. (I would say my networking experience up to this point was buying a wireless router online several years ago, plugging it in, and running the setup successfully)
The quick start guide for both the EdgeRouterX and Unifi AP were sufficient to get up and running without any problems. I’d like to say, I’m relatively ignorant to how most of these things work so I had I figured in my mind that I would need to watch a bunch of videos and seek online assistance. The reality was a pleasant surprise, as the guides included with the product were all that I needed. I did have one hiccup in configuring the router, in that I failed to download the most up-to-date firmware from the Ubiquiti website (which was clearly defined in the quick start guide) but after actually following the instructions I had no issues finishing the configuration and watching my very own home network with wifi access points come to life!
The configuration browser is impressive, you can tell just by the functionality and layout of the information that Ubiquiti has experience in simplifying complex problems (probably from their commercial product experience). The configuration wizards got me going in the right direction and with additional exploration I was able to find new ways to use the router that I didn’t expect to exist. For example, since each port is configurable individually I was able to selectively bridge ports so that I had access to my network cameras only from my desktop PC, but not through wifi or any of the other ports (the cameras are also technically not connected to the internet).
My setup in simple terms:
Eth0 is where I have my internet modem plugged in, we have internet through a dish which connects to a local tower (we’re pretty rural)
Eth1 is connected to another network switch for my PoE cameras
Eth2 is a cat6 drop to a desktop
Eth3 is a cat6 drop to smart TV
Eth4 has PoE turned on, and powers the UnifiAP providing Wifi to our house.
I had the system set up and running for just under a year when the router stopped functioning. I wasn’t sure what caused it, maybe a thunder storm, maybe we had a power surge (we’re remodeling so who knows) but I figured I’d reach out to Ubiquiti to see what they thought. I followed the quick start guide’s instructions on resetting the router but had no luck in entering the configurator. Since the product was still under the 1 year warranty period I saved a .pdf of my amazon order details and submitted that as my receipt to request an RGA from Ubiquiti on their website. In less than 24 hours I had an approved RGA and was able to ship the router back to Ubiquiti’s technicians. It took about 2 days to get delivered and what felt like less than a day Ubiquiti sent me a notification that I was getting a replacement. From the time I requested the RGA to the time I was back up and running (with a brand new router) it was less than a week.
I appreciate the ease of setup designed into this router and its configuration software, I appreciate the capability and options I didn’t even know I was going to receive. The price was good, as the product itself feels high-quality, it’s not flimsy, and it’s pretty tiny in all reality for what it does. 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). After feeling like I already received a pretty good deal, when I did have a problem, I certainly received some A+ customer support when I was able to return the product and get a replacement (very quickly) at no additional cost to me.
Not much else I can say about this router other than from my experience Ubiquiti makes some pretty awesome products and stands behind them.
I do not work for Ubiquiti, and I have not been compensated in any way for this review I do most of my shopping through Amazon (we’re rural) placing hundreds of orders each year, almost every single day actually. This is probably only the third product review I’ve ever taken the time to write, I’m simply really impressed.
It wins out in price by a pretty good margin - 50 bucks - you can put together a good pfSense box around 150-200 bucks if you have no extra hardware laying around. That being said - pfSense is more versatile in general. With the ER-X you can do most things in some manner, with pfSense you can do most anything in a ton of ways.
In my first setup of one of these I used the following as reference
VLAN aware switching - creating and assigning 4 isolated networks with dot1q vlans per switch port for both native and tagged instances - This works well and i had no problems so far with the implementation
QoS - Smart queue - simple codel queue I believe - works as it should. Did not go out side of the simple "smart queue" setup for this, many options for this that I left untouched.
DHCP - good enough for most use cases. Did not see an option for passing specific DHCP options, but as this is a linux distro I would assume it is in the stack somewhere, might not be supported to use that being said.
DNS - Looks like a very simple forwarder to me - no real options besides what interfaces to listen to and dyndns. Not sure if anything additional for this is on the back end or if you could install bind and do your own.
Traffic analysis. At a glance - a trivial layer7 graphing system will tell you what is using traffic. Not that I used it for it, but from what I understand this might be used for layer7 inspection and firewall rules which could be useful in certain usage scenarios.
VPN - This was a nice bonus to have for a box this cheap, especially with how many options they give you. However - PPTP as a default option? Shame on you ubiquiti. PPTP was cracked years ago. L2TP - I was able to kill the egress back to the VPN clients from devices on the network, however I have not found a way to firewall traffic from being able to reach every management interface on the device. If someone connects to this they can then get to every service hosted on the Edgerouter on every interface (aside from my own intuition - I tried every suggestion I could find in every forum - L2TP creates a sub interface to use that then passes the traffic, I have not found a way to attach rules that to interface - This is not to say there is not a way, I just was not able to find it). Thankfully there is an OVPN server hidden on the device, so I was able to use that for my needs.
Firewall rules - If you are familiar with iptables - this is right up your alley - painful to configure from the GUI as it commits on every change. You can probably do this much faster from the configuration tree. You can certainly do this faster from the CLI.
CLI - Ok, I have to hand them this one - very nice. It's a 50 dollar device with a diagnostically functional CLI. MTR being left into the compile made me all warm and fuzzy. Then the configuration portion - Ok, I might be looking at this from a pretty narrow perspective, but I liked the way they did this. Set commands to setup options, unset to removed them. Command completion with descriptions. A system of commit and save which makes "oh crap, pull the power to roll back" viable, or from what I saw rollback functionality.
And the part (off the top of my head) that bugged me
PoE - 24v passive. It is pretty much useless for most things, ubiquiti seems to love 24v passive so if you have an all ubiquiti system that provides 24v - this will probably be fine, just keep in mind for that passthrough port to work you need to power the unit with 24v PoE or be running a 12 watt adapter (this unit only comes with a 6).
There were others, but this is the gist - If you need a low cost firewall that can push up to 950mbit (with hwnat) and can support multiple networks, QoS, and VPN for a small office (5-15 people) this is a good grab. There is a lot of documentation on configuration and such, and the documentation tends to be to the point.
Top reviews from other countries
Principalement destiné à un public averti, ou souhaitant apprendre, ce routeur offre des fonctionnalités que l'on retrouve généralement sur des produits bien plus cher (bgp, ospf, dot1p, dot1q, mpls, ...).
Il est préférable de l'utiliser via la CLI, basée sur vyatta, car la plupart des fonctions ne sont pas accessibles via l'interface web.
Les performances en routage sont en deçà des petits modèles supérieurs (er-lite ou er-poe) car il n'a pas (encore ?) d’accélération matérielle, mais elles restent excellente pour ce prix.
Attention, dans de rares cas, en cas de coupure de courant lors d'une modifications de la configuration, le routeur peut se bloquer (briquer), le bug devrait être corrigé dans la prochaine version (1.8).
