UBIQUITI ER-X Networks EdgeRouter X 5 Ports Gigabit LAN/WAN Router, Black

Product Information

Please note “Passive” PoE is not part of 802.3af or 802.3at standards. While ER-X will work with most of Ubiquiti PoE devices, we encourage users to read ER-X QSG to get a better idea of requirements and limitations with respect to voltage and available power budget.

The Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X or ER-X is one of the most affordable routers/ firewalls available on the market. It is based on a MediaTek MT7621 SoC containing a 880 MHz MIPS 1004KEc dual-core CPU, an embedded 5-port Gigabit Ethernet switch, and a variety of connectivity options including RGMII, PCIe, USB, SD-XC (not all of these features are present on the ER-X.) This platform is popular on the wireless router market with offerings from most of the major players in the segment, like Netgear, ASUS, TP-Link, D-Link, Buffalo, etc. We will likely update this system as we get to higher-performing machines, but this is overkill for this class of device. This is a new system and a different configuration, but you can read our Dell Precision T7920 Dual Intel Xeon Workstation Review for more on the platform itself. Non Drop Rate test (NDR) So on one side, we got the speed of the routers but the other big difference between the two is the interface. The big advantage of the USG is that you can manage it within in Unifi Controller. By adding a USG to your network you will get full network insight starting at your internet connection all the way through the client devices. Configuring an Unifi USG Something that every manufacturer of networking devices should take seriously is the heat management and Ubiquiti devices are somewhat notorious for running a bit hotter than normal (especially the access points line). Fortunately, the small ER-X remained cool even after I put some stress onto it and I suspect that the vent holes on both sides give a helping hand into maintaining a proper airflow. When you start turning features like that on, the CPU is needed and your throughput will drop, resulting in the numbers showing in the table above. So the question is, do you need those features? If the answer is yes, then, in general, a faster CPU is better – Win for the EdgeRouter.The Ubiquiti EdgeRouter ER-Xcombines carrier-class reliability with excellent price‐to‐performance value in an ultra‐compact form factor. The ER-X can be powered by an external power adapter or 24V passive PoE input. A passive PoE passthrough option is available to support a single airMAX device. This is a relatively simple device so the hardware is simple accordingly. We do really like the ability to use 12V DC input or PoE In to power the device since that gives a lot of flexibility. EdgeRouter X Management Passive PoE output on port eth4/PoE Out works as a passthrough and depends on the input power source. So it seems that the upload is not the issue: I think I have to accept WiFi signals are not constant and there is actually a lot going on on the network when all devices are connected that the upload speed drops significantly.

Now the EdgeRouter can do a lot more than SQM alone, but for normal use, this is one of the most important options. EdgeRouter X SFP In the USG you can enable IPS. IPS is an engine that identifies potentially malicious traffic based on signatures. The signatures contain known traffic patterns or instruction sequences used by malware. At the top of the device, one can find status LEDs for power and Ethernet ports activity. These LEDs are not next to the ports themselves which makes them slightly harder to read, especially since they are at the other end of the chassis. Ubiquiti ER-X Top This whole process started when I was trying to upgrade from OpenWRT(VM) to something bare metal. The rest of my house is all Ubiquiti Unifi gear, but Ubiquiti's current Unifi Routers (USG) dont fit my needs/cost use case. After much googling and frustration I stumbled across the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X (ERX). I was VERY pleased to find a nice peace of hardware with solid specs (2 core, 4 threads, 256/256 Storage/RAM), NO wireless, PoE (24V), 5X 1Gbps ports,and an all metal case. Was even more happy that I could just power the ERX right off my core switch.Just setup a USG, with a US-8-60W switch, and a UAP-AC-Pro wireless access point yesterday. I’m replacing an Edgerouter PoE-5, which I was previously using with the UAP-AC-Pro. I have the Unifi Controller setup on an RPi3. Some things I noticed right away, since I’ve only been using this new setup with the USG for a a day now. That is actually a really nice feature that many competitive products do not offer, especially in this price range. EdgeRouter X Performance

I have disconnected all connections on the Switch / EdgeRouter and have disabled all non-relevant vlan’s on the EdgeRouter. Note: The EdgeMAX series also includes the EdgeRouter PoE (suitable if you have more than a couple of access points – supports 24/48V passive PoE), the EdgeRouter X SFP (a more inexpensive solution than the EdgeRouter PoE, but it only supports 24V passive PoE), the aforementioned EdgeRouter Lite, the EdgePoint (an intelligent WISP Control Point – it uses FiberProtect) and the more powerful EdgeRouter and the EdgeRouter PRO. On the front of the device, you can find the five 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports: eth0/PoE IN (supports 24V passive PoE and it is an alternative method of powering the device, instead of using the power adapter), eth1, eth2, eth3 and eth4/PoE OUT (supports passive PoE passthrough). The ports of the EdgeRouter X are actually interfaces and, by default, you get this setup: eth0 is WAN, while eth1 to eth4 act as LAN and switched. But, the beauty of this device is that you can configure any port to act as WAN, while any other port can act as LAN or you can create a dual-wan system for load-balancing (e.g. 2 WAN + 1 LAN). The router can also be configured to work solely as a managed switch. ESD grounding for enhanced ESD protection. The ground wire and screw with washer are not included (recommended screw size: M3-0.5 x 4 mm).Clear messaging identifying potential problems and suggestions is provided for claims requiring pharmacist intervention
