Your videos are so helpful. Your overall presence on cam is efficient and direct. I have learned so much from your RUclips channel. Thank you so much
I'd love to see a walkthrough on using the ER4 in place or in front of an AT&T fiber gateway
I was so happy to find your channel. When I first started I hoped I would be able to find a channel that covered Ubiquiti products with a little depth and I was able to just stop looking after I found your channel.
Cheers - thanks for watching!
Great video Chris. I like it when you toss those boxes around lol
This video was very helpful with setting up my EdgeRouter 4. Thank you very much. Keep up the good work.
Hi Chris, is there a chance you could do a detail video on UBNT VPN setup and experience with the 6P or Pro? I have a 5 location client I'd like to migrate into Ubiquiti products.
Did you ever do the migration? Unifi or EdgeOS?
No I haven't, I really want to see how the setup is and how sites are handled regarding the cloud key, etc. Really haven't found a GOOD video on it on RUclips yet.
Hello Chris a VPN setup will be great
I also need a video for VPN Server setup, to connect several Iphones(iOS 12.1, who need that "secret" preshared key) and redirect all internet traffic behind this VPN. Thank you!
Chris can you set up cueing customers on the edge
If you have a UNMS setup video could you link to that in the description please?
Great video, well paced with clear explanation of all settings.
One thing you could add is how to bond more ports together with any settings to make it work properly.
Quick question. If you're not going to use the "Bridge LAN interfaces into a single network" option, then what are the other ports on the device used for? Eth0 is for connecting your ISP so I'm confused what the other ports might be used for if they're not being used as switch ports.
Chris, perfect your explanation.
i wonder if the ER-4 can do 1gbps throughput with security/sQM/packet inspection on?
Very nice demo of the Edgemax router
I would like a video on setting up a vlan on edgerouter 4 that is on a different subnet that reaches out to the internet on eth0 and vlan on eth1 with port 22 inbound open and all standard firewall rules. Also setting up NAT for a vlan on edgerouter 4 with same qualifications.
Thanks for the demo and info, have a great day
Video suggestions: Please show how to transfer a list of Static MAC address reservations from an existing installed router, to a new router that is getting freshly installed.
I would like to see how to track web-sites vistied and amount of bandwidth used by IP. Also how to block certain websites and do port forwarding. And limit bandwidth for certain domains ie facebook or youtube. Things guys usually do with Mikrotik routers. Great channel!
Thx for a great video and showing/explaining the interface software. Buying one now :)
Hey chris always nice seeing all your content, Keep it up! All the way from philippines here sir and i i just want to ask for your advice bcoz i find it hard for me to decide what to choose between 3 ubiquiti edge routers (ER-4 budget issue / ER-POE-5 & ER-X-SFP most likely affordable for me but really undecided for this 2 bcoz they almost the same) really looking forward for your response chris it will help us for stablishing our starting wisp biz. Thank you and god bless!
What is the USB Port for? Would it be possible to connect a 4G modem and have it as a secondary or backup Internet connection?
I would like you to create a video on how to setup a wifi guest network on VLAN2 with a couple of Cisco WAP321 devices connected to an unmanaged switch connected on port 2 of the 6P device. Local network is untagged on port 2. Internet is on port 0. Please help.
If your upgrading from an Edge Router Lite, Can you restore from an Edge Router Lite backup file?
Why'd they do 24v poe on this thing? I just got one on ebay for cheap to replace my PFsense box for now. Just thought it was weird I was thinking I could run my Unifi 6 Pro off it but I guess I can't which means it'll still have to be connected to my switch.
Very helpful overview, thank you!
Do you know if the SFP port will support a 2.5 or 10Gbps SFP ethernet card on the edge router 4?
Any idea what total throughput is with sqm turned on? Thanks for the informative video!
I came here looking for the non bridge set up, he says "Lets go ahead and set up a bridge" haha. How does the WAN get connected to the LAN without bridge mode?
Thanks for the compare, I would like to see the Edge Router 4 compared to the USG or USG Pro. The specs are great, and I don't think the firewall will impact throughput like it does on the USG.
Also, I think the Edge Routers are better products that the USG line, but I like the USG Pro. Thanks
Great video. Any chance of going through how to block known problem IP addresses using auto downloaded block lists ?
can I push a 300 mbps down 30 up internet service through this or even gigabit?
Hello, If I buy a edgerouter 4 er4 can I use 2 ports for 2 RJ45 internet connections? Thanks
As it's still a not fully implemented feature, what non-offloaded IPv6 performance could we expect from these units?
Great videos Chris. Could you do a video about setting up VPN on the EdgeRouters? Thank you
I know the router is 2 years old but I'm having throughput cpacity issues as we start WFH... 4 laptops running zoom... 2 TVs running netflix. My challenge is that I have two WAN 1G services and my edgerouther X does not work well and the 10x might be better but also not great.
I was first looking into ER10X but the found ER12 for better performence. Maybe other suggestions?
Do a video of a setup of Fiber to the Home Optical Modem
I was looking at this to replace the poe5 that we generaly go with.. but it only has 24v PoE! why ubnt, why! If it atleast had 48 you could use 48-24 volt adaptors.. now that almost all ubnt ap's are 48 volt af this just makes it bad. Feel more like a edgerouter x sfp replacement then poe5. I saw that the beta device had 24/48 but ubnt removed it in the final product.
The new 48 volt UAP-AC-LR and UAP-AC-Lite can still use 24v, just FYI ;)
toysareforboys yes I know but it feels weird they making 24v only poe when they are moving more and more towards 802.3af/48 volt.
Hi Hoping you are fine. I need a suggestion regarding one of my setups. I have a 3VLANs configured on a L2 switch. Each VLAN to get internet from a separate modem. I wish to add a router which will do the NATing meaning VLAN1 NATed to modem1, VLAN2 NATed to modem2 and VLAN3 Nated to modem3. Is it possible to configure an edgerouter with 3 WAN interfaces (No load balancing) and one trunk connected to my switch. Kindly advice
Hi Chris and thanks for video. Can the UNMS be run together with the UNIFI controller on the same Ubuntu?
Quick ? - when you plugged the blue cable into your switch and into the wan of the router - is that like plugging the router into your "cable modem". I'm thinking about getting an edge4 to replace the shitty consumer grade wireless routers you get at Best Buy. Thank you.
Hi Chris, Can you please do a video on privacy error/security certificates on Ubiquiti devices
Chris please add a VPN setup video on this new routers. That would be very helpful.
great videos, thanks again, any thoughts on doing a fax server with API function?
USG or Edgerouter 6? Which is better for home network?
I wish this has a site to site VPN settings with GUI instead of terminal only.
I'm new to Edgerouter, and I'm fully aware of the risk of UPnP.
I've enabled UPnP in my Edgerouter 4 and I have several ports opened from my NAS (torrent, SSH etc.), Shield TV, etc., all as UPnP. In my previous router Archer C2, I can see the list of opened ports opened by UPnP. How can I do the same for Edgerouter 4? Is there any menu or even command for me to see the list of opened ports? So far I used webpage like @t but I'm not comfortable using the website or any other websites to check.
Hey Chris , I just got an edge Router X and a UAP-AC-LR , i have done a Controller on DigitalOcean working perfectly with LE certificate , and i came across UNMS. Should i create a UNMS and forget the Unifi Controller ?
What the diference between both UNMS and UNFI Controller ? Is one come to substituite the other ?
Thanks for all your videos.
Ops! Seems you forgot to label the cable on 9:46
Just kidding :p
Thank you .. please keep it up
Can anything in the Edge line be used as a full DNS server that's authoritative or is it forward only?
I would like to see statistics that Ubiquiti doesn't provide:
Setup a OpenVPN server
Performance metrics on throughput with/without VPN, with DPI, Smart queue both on and both off.
I'm surprised you don't understand the CIDR dhcp ranges.
What about an ipv6 tunnel?
I’d love to see a link aggregation to lan demo to connect to my internal switch
How is the temperature of 6P comparing to er5 Poe.. Thanks
What about USB? Can i use LTE modem?
I would like to see an Edge Router set up using a Xfinity Modem.IE:I have an Xfinity supplied Modem/Router and I would like to purchase an edge router to compliment My Ubiquiti network.
Great video.
Do you know if there is any EdgeRouterX replacement short term?
Not that I know of.
how many devices 6p can handle? I need something for 70-120
Great overview. I've only really used a unifi controller, but looks like UMNS is coming along great in functionally.
Just because you blocked it out, the url that yours is still in the video at two moments..
Would this be powerful enough for a VPN to pia without bottle necking ?
Make LACP link to the switch on the LAN side :)
Hi Chris, do you have any idea why my EdgeRouter 6p doesn't have p designation on the product itself? It says EdgeRouter 6 not EdgeRouter 6p.
No idea - does it look the same as the EdgeRouter 6P? Same ports and PoE and everything?
@@CrosstalkSolutions Actually I bought it 2 days ago second hand. Owner told me that he bought it from uk. Not easy to find those units where I live. Now I see differences between two units, ports and poe are fine but also on top of the unit it says very top, not edgerouter. Something fishy going on I will return this unit amd hope to find new one. Maybe it's a test unit or something. Thank you anyway.
Hey man, I'm very interested in seeing it under heavy packet loads.
I have 6 game servers with a linksys ea8300 which has packet processing capabilities of .148k pps
The ARK:SE servers I run do fantastic until there is a lot going on and rubberbanding starts to get unplayable.
I've upgraded my onboard nic to an i350-t2v2. Have cat 8 6ft cables. An i9-9900k with 64gb of ram serving off a 1tb NVME. My internet connection is 400u/20d. Modem is an arris surfboard thats overpowered for my connection.
I want to know if the packet processing is the bottleneck but ill likely buy a Edge 4 anyways.
For future unboxing videos do not attach microphone to the table, use a tripod on the floor ;) Would help for your regular videos too where you're typing on your keyboard.
+1, or use a highpass filter
Why the complete useless passive POE of 24 volts, only usable with Ubiquity stuff? Now i still need to put a decent POE switch after eacht! one of these ports to power my camera's and my WiFi AP...??
How to setup DHCP reservations
I recommend slowing the video down to 0.75.
NO POWER SUPPLY INCLUDED?
setup dual wan on a edgemax 4
Any chance you could do a review or share your thoughts regarding the NanoHD access point? Considering a couple of NanoHD access points together with the EdgeRouter 6P for my home setup :) Is the NanoHD an upgrade from the AC PRO?
OOPs, i have miss some keys :)
Unboxing and tossing stuff like a CCNP. My people.
I would like to see Openvpn Server setup:)
He’s got the best unboxing useless junk throw.
Scares the crap out of my dogs usually.
QOS is something I’m going to require for gaming and if you could demo please that would be great...
It would be nice to try different types of WAN, including using the USB port. Because the only objective this device has is as a backup of wan or improve the internet load.
Why would you pick an ER Pro over the ER4/6P?
The ER4 and ER6P are actually more powerful than the Pro.
Klementoso Probably rackmount natively plus more ports
Luke Wyn-Harris still, it’s 50% less powerful than the ER4. The ER4 is still cheaper if you buy the rack mount.
And what benefit do more ports have if there’s no switchchip? It will hurt performance even more when you bridge interfaces.
@@Klementoso More ports = more possible unbridged networks
Jeffrey Kevin Pry in other words: very few usecases.
@@Klementoso Seriously? Remember these are designed for Enterprise. You're seriously telling me you never heard of a company having multiple networks?
What I like to see: 1. How to configure the SFP port for a fiber connection from AT&T en Verizon for example, 2. Setup VRRP between two Edgerouters for automatic failover, 3. Do load balancing/failover between two Internet connections, 4. Have both connect to two switches with failover for a fully redundant configuration. This type of setup is used in large office environments and data centers.
Nice and informative, but enabling bridging is not the same as layer 3 switching. These are totally different things.
I am extremely tech savvy, but I still found this to be a very convoluted "engineer mined" presentation. I think he forgot a lot of his audience is coming from consumer grade WiFi routers (Linksys, Synology, Netgear, etc.) but looking to switch to Ubiquiti routers, switches and Wifi Access Points. Be a Leo Laporte. Think geek, but speak human.
The EdgeRouter line of products is more geared towards IT rather than the home user. For home users, check out my videos in UniFi instead (or even AmpliFi if you want to be really basic).
I would love to see how to set up an Edgerouter using the 2 lan option. I tried with my Edgerouter x and something didn't work quite right. had to reset it and start from scratch with the single lan configuration.
I'd like to see you set up an ER6P with a couple of vlans being trunked through to a tp-link SG2210MP switch which in turn has one EAP245v3 acces point connected and another 2 EAP245v3 access points in mesh mode, ie no backhaul. All the tp-link devices should be configured using the Omada controller software running off a docker container on a NAS, and not the hardware controller. Do you accept the challenge?
am a small business internet supplier using ubiquity devices, I already have two internet subscription but would love to add another subscription. Am using edgerouter lite for my load balancing, what advice can you give for me to buy which type of edgerouter for my connection
Thanks for putting up this video even thought as you said is a basic setup but you really driver deep small using the setup wizard explain what capability the ER-6P have what about ER-8?
Chris, have you ever tested a CISCO router here? I'd like to see a comparison between a 2911 and a ER4 for performance.
Hello, great great content ! I have juste purchase ER-4, Can we do turn one or more port to vlan hard wire guest isolation ? I mean, turne some port to a switch device, enable vlan on one port, DHCP on this port and if we plug one drvice on this port, the user have only accès to the Internet and not the local network ? Thans for your advise !
Can the ER-6P run a separate network / subnet on all ports, or can it only support two unique subnets (excluding sub-interfaces).
Absolutely FANTASTIC video (and full series)!!! Thank you so much for this amazingly helpful information. If you wouldn't mind, I have a question regarding the ETH 5 (SFP) port, and using an ISP's fiber handoff for the WAN connection. Centurylink fiber gigabit ethernet is now available in my area, and their equipment appears to be an ONT (fiber to RJ45) and an all-in one gateway / modem / router / WAP. Would the EdgeRouter 4's "eth5/SFP" (with the proper fiber module) be able to take the fiber from CenturyLink that would otherwise plug into the ONT, thereby eliminating the need for the ONT? My goal is to not use any of CenturyLink's equipment, and to use an EdgeRouter 4, a UniFi POE switch, and two UniFi APs. Thank you tremendously in advance!
This is exactly what Im trying to setup as well for my home, I would like to use the eth5/SFP as my WAN port and I don't know what SFP module to use.
Hi Chris,
I've just purchased the ER-4 which was an upgrade to the USG. I am into gaming and the issue that i have is in regards to ping spikes or network variations or buffer bloat. I'm told QoS can fix this and i've attempted to set up the smart QoS without success. I also noticed that the "upload" and "Download" seem to be the wrong way around in the GUI which i tested with a speed test and the effect was opposite to what the settings suggested, an easy fix though... I'm wondering if there is something completely esle that im missing as im not an IT professional but pick things up somewhat at my own pace lol. love your videos upto date which got me started down this path!
Hey bro, I'm goign to follow the same path as you. I'm very new to the ubiquiti products and with what little research today I've found that I should use the edge router x or edge router 4 over the usg because of the larger throughput the 2 edge devices can support during smart qos due to their cpu power. How did you go setting up your qos for lagg free buffer bloat?
Thanks. Learning a lot from you. I’m slowly moving from Netgear Orbi mesh to UniFi. Bought the Edgerouter 4. Any idea if I can use the Edgerouter 4 with the Orbi Mesh as the AP until I can upgrade to a UniFi switch and AP’s?
How do set the SSID on this router
Whats the difference between the EdgeRouter 4 (ER-4) and the EdgeRouter X Advanced (ER-X-AU)????
Thanks for these videos, but please avoid to call a /24 a “class C”. We stopped using classful routing in the 90ties. This ancient artifact is best avoided.
Dexter Fishbourne true, but again, it’s an ancient artifact that was abandoned in the early 90ties when we started doing CIDR. Also, class C is 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255. Some people call things outside of that also Class C, or call it Class C size. It’s just silly to keep using this old terminology. I don’t know why a lot of the literature keeps mentioning this, it’s been legacy for 25 years now. Just call things by their netmask size, in this case /24.
That's a really picky criticism. :)
When CompTIA or Cisco stop quizing on it it will die. Until then, yea, no
I am having difficulty with this router and my QNAP NAS. I have watched multiple you tubes and still cannot connect from outside my network
Thank you! Best review! I basically wanted a faster Edge Router X SFP -- I was able to get this by creating a bridge and assigning it to all 5 ports.
Hi Chris. A little help if poss. I have just bought an ER4 and currently have a Draytek Vigor 130 modem in bridge mode on 192.168.1.1
I have configured the ER4 to have an IP of 1.20 and a pool size from 1.38.
How do i configure the Ubiquite ER4 to allow me to access the modem to view stats etc?
Thanks!
I just got an EdgeRouter 12! I’m watching this video to see how to set it up. I was originally going to buy the EdgeRouter 6P on Amazon, but when I looked at the price of the 6P and the 12 with POE, the 12 was cheaper than the 6P, so I figure I get the 12. Anyway watching this video for the EdgeRouter setup. As I’m converting my entire home system to Gigabit+ Network.
You mentioned turning frying a device if POE was enabled on the port for a non-POE device, but my understanding is this would only have with a passive POE injector, not a 802.3af compliant switch. Is this 802.3af compliant?
When you say layer 3 switching, I think you mean layer 2 switching!
Hello there. There IS Layer 3 switching, for sure (Switches with routing capabilities). Now get ready for this, there is ALSO Layer 4 switching (Amidst additional features, Layer 4 switches make packet-forwarding decisions based NOT ONLY on the MAC address and IP address [which is basically what a Layer 3 switch does] but also on the application to which a packet belongs...
@@AngelRArauz You are corrrect. However in this case the Router 4 is having to do Layer 2 switching as a router, so not strictly Layer 3 switching (e.g. it does not switch based on IP address).
@Crosstalk Solutions, I know the er-4 is beefier compared to the er-lite, but I'm curious which would be more cost effective for home use to replace a Google Fiber network box. I'm all for performance, but I'm not for overspending if the er-4 offers only a slight advantage.
Hey Chris, I just want clarity. Is the ER4 recommended to use with 2 AC Pros, and the remaining ports going into various rooms in the house? Or should we be using a switch for everything but the APs? I have about 50 plus connected devices in the house and I need something robust to manage it all.
Hello... I was wondering if you had a chance to try OpenVPN Client with a provider like TorGuard on both devices. I tried OpenVPN Client on my ER Lite a while back with Torgaurd so I can watch Hulu, Netflix etc... from Bermuda and the speed drops drastically; I have 20Mbps and it drops to 3Mbps. I found out the ER Lite doesn't have an Offloader for OpenVPN through other users on UBNT site. I use a Buffalo WZR-1750DHP with DD-WRT and I don't have this problem. Also, can you try OpenVPN Client with two other VLANS as well (three simultaneously). I really like the UI firmware of the router and want to use it with my Edgeswitch. Thanks for your time...
