    Is this a special router or what.

    When you buy a consumer router everything is integrated into one package (router, ethernet swtich, wireless access point, etc.). This makes it really straightforward for a consumer because its an all-in-one device for setups that don't need many frills. There is a HUGE draw back to consumer...

    Cron speedtest question

    This question is a more of a linux question than a networking question. I have a Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X which runs Debian. I am fairly inexperienced with Linux. I installed the speedtest-cli tool (https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli) I then wrote a small script to run the speedtest, append...

    EdgeRouter-X IPv6 Setup

    Thanks for the link. I had found that post and tried that also but was unable to get it to work. If I have eth1 - eth4 on switch0 should i still declare each eth1 - 4 like the solution in the link, or should I only do it for switch0?

    EdgeRouter-X IPv6 Setup

    Hello, I have searched the Ubiquiti community forums but the information there is hard to find as the process to enable IPv6 support is different between EdgeOS versions and pretty situation specific. My EdgeRouter-X has the lastest FW (1.8.5) and my ISP is Comcast. With my setup eth0 is WAN and...

    Need help choosing a router

    Perfect. I am still curious about the throughput being discussed. Is that referring to WAN<-->LAN specifically? Will that ceiling also apply to local transfers between the switch ports of an EdgeRouter?

    Need help choosing a router

    Thanks for all the great feedback. I have spent the last few hours looking at Ubiquiti's offerings and they sound pretty awesome. I am leaning towards trying one of their routers and also their access points. I am dying to wire my house for multiple access points and remove my current...

    Need help choosing a router

    Hahaha. Yes, I could give a little on that. Forgive me but I am coming from a background in high-end consumer wireless routers such as the Netgear R7000 and Linksys WRT1900AC. I am pushing the limits of these routers with my network set up at this time and really diving into OpenWRT these last...

    Need help choosing a router

    Thank you for this detailed response. That is good to hear about the native firmware being very good for Ubiquiti and mikrotik. I put OpenWRT and/or DD-WRT support in the must have list because I am experienced with it on my Netgear R7000 and Linksys WRT1900ACS. I really like the value add and...

    Need help choosing a router

    Hi SNB, After serious frustration with limitations of current of wireless routers I am ready to take the plunge and build a "real" home network. My plan is to use a wired 6+ port router and add wireless with 2 AP's. I need help choosing a router for my home and would love some input on which...
