We all knew the entire product line was due for an update. So coming down the pipe is the ER-4 and the ER-6 both which appear to be x2 the pps of the ER-8, and x2 the QOS throughput of a ER-Pro. I'm assuming the final price will be $280-$350 for these. The other edgerouter you missed is...

Hardware hasn't changed. Software has improved. USG Pro is almost identical hardware to ERPro but has gimped GUI in the form of the UNIFI controller, but what you can do is export the configuration to txt, import that config into an ERL, modify it to be what you really want it to be, export it...

The reason it says 4Gb on the box...and actually doesn't anymore on the newest shipping ones has to do with certification. In order not to get sued they lowered the spec listed on the box. Once they get all the potential features legally certified the label will return. The three biggest...

I mispoke, I was referring to Michael Hurlston whom just joined Ubiquiti from Broadcom. He as hired to offload some duties from Pera.

The good is Ubiquiti's new CEO has good ideas. The bad is ancheng left which really hurt the Edgerouter team. I didn't know about stig. The devs are pushing hard to get the AP side of UNIFI cleaned up before the end of the year. The Edgerouter team has really been set back by ancheng...

Ubiquiti Edgerouter firmware 1.8.0 was a feature release, 1.8.5 was a maintenance release, firmware 1.9.0 was a mixed release, firmware 1.9.1 ETA of Dec is expected to be another maintenance release. Personally I think that the Edgerouter line up will get all new processors late 2017. That...

You're not going to get far at that price point... If you want to stretch a bit: The Dell H625cdw and H825cdw go on sale occasionally and are outstanding values when they have a $70-$100 discount on them.

The primary support method for Ubiquiti hardware is their forums. Outside of that, there are Ubiquiti certified contractors on the forum who will fix your issues or travel to your location to install, configure or modify things for you, if you need them to. There's actually a thread...

Ubiquiti has been brewing a much beefier model that is still unreleased. They also have a CEO who actually has a cohesive plan.... it may take a while but things are getting better....and more interesting.

Edgerouter lite and Edgerouter POE can only traffic shape about 90Mbps. I usually recommend users apply smart QOS, which is just fq_codel, to their upload stream. Try applying it to your upload only setting it for 12Mbps. Alternately the 8 port non POE Edgerouter should be able to QOS...

Ubiquiti hired a couple of quality engineers late last year and It's starting to show. Edgerouter Firmware 1.8.5 (just released and not yet on the main download page) Is the most polished firmware I've seen yet. Unifi stuff has improved by magnitudes as well in the last 30 days. The...

If the Ubiquiti Amplifi support MU-MIMO and uses it in combination with their uplink...THEN this will be an interesting product.

Edge Router Lite, loaded with Firmware 1.7 can do all that with ease. IF you want someone to do all the work for you... splurg for the Zyxel USG-40-NB and have support configure it for you. (they will for the first 90 days)

Yes it can do it. The Zyxel Zywalls and USG devices effectively are running a version of BSD. I should warn you that although layer 3 routing can be done by this device that it doesn't have the CPU to support doing it at line speed. You'll probably end up somewhere around 300-500Mbps when...

Actively developed devices with huge potential and fall short should get re-reviewed annually until they are 3 years old. Most of Ubiquiti's stuff would fall into this category. I think you performed a review of the ERL with firmware 1.0.2 firmware and some updated comments for versions...
