Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X Unboxing and Setup
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- The EdgeRouter X is an entry-level router with some interesting features. It can be powered by a power adapter or via PoE. It also includes a PoE passthrough port to power one additional PoE device.
In this video, I unbox and perform initial setup on the EdgeRouter X. I also do a small amount of PoE testing to figure out the capabilities of the device.

Having had plenty of “throw away” routers over the years, I purchased an Edge 10x. WOW what a learning curve !! Finding your videos was a godsend. Thanks a million.
Always appreciated when guys like you show both screen and physical components. Really makes things come together. Thank you for your contribution.
I cannot begin to tell you how helpful this was. I had this unboxed and setup running my network in less than 15 minutes because of this tutorial. Now I get to play around with it :)
Just picked this router up today, and got it setup with the help of this video in about 20 minutes. You are the man. Thank you!
Thanks for this! My AirPort Extreme just died, replaced it with an Edgerouter X and an AP AC Lite for my home. Ez setup with this vid as a guide. I am using the 24v POE injector that came with the AP to power everything.
It’s 2024 and people are literally giving or throwing these away. I won’t touch anything less than 5th Generation but I have collected 2 Gen 5 and 1 Gen 6 and 2 apple Gen 1 express extenders.
Thanks for your video. I am in the process of switching from one ISP at home to another and the current one offers a router / cable modem combo unit (DHCP, FW, etc, Port Forward) the new one only provides a cable modem. I picked up one of these routers yesterday and have loved the flexibility it provides. It allowed me to build a parallel network to the one at my house (using only my laptop on the new ISP) - Once the network was up all I had to do was swing the LAN feed from the old router / cable modem to the Edgerouter X. Same IP space defined and none of the clients knew anything had happened. So for me the application was I didn't want to spend $5 / month for a router from the ISP, but wanted all the tools that the old combo unit had. This provides that !! thanks for the video
After watching this video, this is what I will be buying for home use. I have been playing a lot with Ubiquiti at work and I love it.
Hey man;) Just an advice in regards to the wattage on that adapter you got with your edge router: if you try to pull too much power from that, you might end up stressing it beyond safe operating conditions (SOC). This could in turn result in a fire hazard. So now you know:) thanks for posting.
Hey Chris,
V2 of the Firmware is available now. Maybe you could do a video on the upgrade experience, and give your thoughts on the V2 changes. Cheers!
"Light is green, trap is clean" Thumbs up for the Ghostbusters nod ;)
"Where do these stairs go?" "They go up."
This one is so stable to play as your core router, and make your wifi router as only wifi coverage device. it has been used for more than 3months without a reboot. and the size of it is so tiny to impose in anyplace you want it to be.
Took me forever to figure out I had to plug my PC into Eth0 instead of Eth1 to configure this bad boy. Aside from that, absolutely love it. The fact that it supports SSH is totally awesome.
I just saw this on the Unifi AP specs.. "Passive Power over Ethernet (12-24V)" The 24 volts is the unit's maximum input voltage, companys do so to get the maximum possible power through the wireless radio, but the power circuitry can actually go down to 12 volts and the unit will continue to work. Thus is why you were able to power the unit with the 12 volt power supply. I guess there's probably also a voltage multiplier that also steps up the voltage if required, but that just a guess.
TL;DR The Access Point only requires 4Watts of power __AND__ it accepts 12V or 24V of input. This is IMPORTANT. The wall wart provided is more than enough. Not to mention that the Wall Wart has to power the Router itself so I doubt it can push 12V@0.5Amps to a device via the PoE and still provide power to the Router. Doesn't matter for the Access Point though as it doesn't use that much power.
Look at the UniFi AP specifications it accepts 12V and 24V input. dl.ubnt.com/datasheets/unifi/UniFi_AP_DS.pdf page 11. It's maximum power consumption is 4W meaning the PoE pass-through needs to be 12V@0.3A or 24V@0.15A. The wall wart which comes with this EdgeRouter meets those requirements, thus the reason it turns on.
As to whether the EdgeRouter X converts 12V PoE input into 24V PoE output; I doubt it. It would HAVE to be a configuration option as if it just assumed 24V it could blow up devices. My guess is that because it says PASSTHRU, that it means what it says. It passes through the Voltage to the other side.
Voltage is important. It has to be pretty exact. Amperage is a regulation. Meaning that a device can pull MORE amperage (i.e. more watts in the end) than what the Wall Wart is spec'ed for. This results in the Wall Wart over heating and eventually dying. Either way, one sure fire way to be certain is to use a Multi-Meter on the wires which transmit the power.
Another thing to consider is whether the power is Phantom Power. If it is NOT then the PoE circuit can only handle 100Mbit's of data transmission as it needs the other wires to transmit the power. If it does use Phantom Power then it can send data AND power over the same twisted pairs.
In the end I am amazed this device is only $49.99 and wonder what the reboot rate is. I have a medium-quality WiFi Router and it needs rebooting at least twice a month. Something I do not enjoy.
Great video!
Great info - thanks for sharing!
I'm just guessing here but I could imagine, that the router and the AP can be powered with the 6W adapter because they were both idle. I think once the router is under high load, the 6W might not be enough anymore and the AP might turn off or maybe the voltage might collapse and both devices will turn off and then boot again.
Just wanted to say how helpful ALL Crosstalk videos are. Great job! Always a go to when I have Ubiquiti questions.
I'll tell where this router would be perfect. Used with sideline replay video system. It is small, uses little power (can plug to battery pack with AC plug), take care of two ethernet operated rtsp cameras, use the passthrough for a Nanostation M5 access point, and receive the end zone cam video to sideline server via Nanobeams. Everything is small enough to pack in two small cases all self contained and powered with battery packs.
One server with as many clients needed to view each play instantly. Having air view is a huge advantage especially when there are numerous services operating in playoff games.
Configuring this stuff is where CrossTalk has been really valuable. If you have anything on local mode rtsp configuration that would be awesome. I'm using Cerevo liveshell 2.
Really wonderful, detailed video instructions. Your videos are well-narrated for tech enthusiasts who want to learn and manage their own home (office) networks. This specific video helped me set up and isolate my IoT devices from my secure LAN, utilizing two AP-AC Lite WAPs. I have a question: How do you achieve something similar, or the same, when it comes to isolating IoT devices with the TP-Link ER605 router?
this router is great in the smb space, especially where you have a small business with two locations needing to connect their networks via point to point vpn. began using this over sonicwall tz series units
I used one of these at the start of my neighborhood wide network, the router that was internal to my cable modem was locking up. I am pushing to about 20 houses with at least 10 devices in each. Since I installed 30 days ago I have not had a down moment. Just have to refine my antenna alignment skill and all my issues will be resolved.
Thank you thank you thank you. I spent quite a bit of time trying to get this to function in my home and this video showed me the two things I was doing wrong. I greatly appreciate you posting this!
+Paul Johnson The beard is strong with this one.
I concur. Just like Paul I spent a lot of time trying to figure it out, and learned my 2 mistakes were not choosing the switch0 as the LAN port for port forwarding, and having a static IP of 10.0.1.21 which was outside the range the router defaulted to of 10.1.1.38 to xxx. All working now! Great video!
Todd Everett
Thanks!
very, straight forward videos, easy to learn something and get understanding about it.
Thank you.
This is a great video and helped me decide to buy the ER-X. I was wondering if you might be willing to do a tutorial for IPv6 on ER-X with current FW (1.8.5). Specially with a eth0 WAN and swith0 (eth1 - eth4).
Thank you for a very good guide, I was struggeling so much with this router
and my stream and youtube channel has suffered from it
Hi Chris!,
Finally after many many many attempts and the help of JDOORN14 at the ubnt community I managed to tell the edgerouter X that he "lived"on adress 192.168.2.1 and that the dhcp server should give ip-adresses to the users in the same ip-range.
Setting up portforwarding happened in a blink so now I am up and running here.
Regards and thanks for reacting so soon!!
Great info Chris, I have just purchased the three unit wireless kit and I think I will get the Edge Router to use in a very simple way. My setup will be Internet into 24vPOE adaptor....e/0. I will use the e/04 port for my first wireless access point and then use the wireless bridge for the next two access points due to an inability to run network cables to each access point.It would help if you did a video on this.
+Dennis Pillow i hope you dont expect great performance out of wireless network designed like that. The idea is practical yes, but performance sucks when more clients connect.
My guess is that when you wirelessly bridge additional access points, it will force all access points to run at 1/2 duplex. Not much of a choice if you can't run cable to each AP though. I could be wrong, others could chime in...
Hey Chris,
Thank you for documenting the initial setup of the ER-X. Looks like what I want in a wired gigabit router. Liked and subscribed!
+Shane Gray Thanks for watching!
Hehe, just picked one up at the thrift store, brand new in box, for $6. Not being familiar with Ubiquiti equipment (I'm an Omada person) I THOUGHT it was just a POE powered switch (which I could use). I guess I couldn't read since it CLEARLY states ROUTER on the box! :) So given it's a router I guess I COULD configure it the way I need it (I use VLANs so I need some ports tagged and others not), but more likely I'll just go and sell it.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks Chris for the great video. A customer already had the EdgeRouter-X and I had not used it before. Your video allowed me to cut a lot of time to configure this router as I had only used the Cisco RV325 in other customer sites. Thank You!
Exactly what I was looking for! Ordere two UAP-AC-Lite's and maybe getting one ER-X-SFP too, or two, since they don't have any switch small enough for my use.
Very useful video. Answered many questions I had about the use of this router with the Ubiquiti AP. Thanks!
+Darrin McCarthy Thanks for watching!
The "bridged" eth1, 2, & 3 ports are essentially a software switch. And software switches are typically a no-no since they use cpu and RAM to make the switch.
Good video, just got mine and configured it with the two networks instead of your one setup. Segment my mesh wifi off of my wired. Your video was very helpful.
Thank you for clear explanation. Now I can config my router ERpro-8 when it arrives.
Thanks, it was a good start. Toward the end you deviate a bit from what I wanting to hear about, which is the configuration of the router and using the various features. Over all it was helpful video.
It powers up the Unifi AP AC LR... but the AP will have a random reboot. Hooking up the AP on it's own power injector. Will improve the AP stability.
Thanks for sharing!
I wonder if it would do better powering the UAP AC LITE...
interesting... ill check back here to see how my Ubiquiti Poe5 port Edge Router (non-x) and Unifi UAP AC Pro handles. hopefully stable.
Exactly this. At the beginning I felt it was powering the AP correctly but couldn't figure out why the AP was restarting and dropping connections. Used the poe injector that came with the AP and all the problems went away. I feel pass-thru means you'd require poe on eth0 of the ERX, with enough to power the ERX plus enough for the AP (or other device).
Anyone banging their head with a constantly restarting AP and using poe - this is generally the issue.
Just want to advise you that it states on the power adapter what it is out putting. You are right about the w=v*a. However it applies to what your source power is. I.E. Wall power in the U.S. is supplied at 110-120v, that power plug adapts down from 120v.
Thanks for the info!
Nope, it has nothing to do with the mains supply voltage. The output rating is purely based on output voltage and current - i.e. 12VDC out at 0.5A is 6W, whether supplied from 110VAC or 230VAC.
This helped me get started nicely! Saved me a lot of time. Thank you!
They are nice little purpose built routers. I use them in applications that replace netgear and dlink routers in small business that have internet speeds larger than the old devices can support > 20Mb. Have even replaced a few older Sonicwall and netgear VPN boxes. Can't beat the price. Throughput on these things is full Gb unless you are using the PoE so they will support 150Mb internet when using the wall adapter. Just tested against a local speedtest mini and got 360/90 behind two switches and a pfsense router - i'm guessing the pfsense box is limiting a bit.
The second you used a balisong to open the box I knew I had to subscribe (even though I've already been subscribed for years ;-) )
video saved me haha. another written guide was telling me to use the one with 2 net once which was why i had to connect to eth 1 instead of 0. k now to set up the wireless :)
The 6W adapter might be able to power that AP briefly, but it will be running at twice it's rated current and will probably fry the power adapter sooner or later.
yes doing vlans on ubiquiti is a little strange. I ended up admitting all for all ports in both vlans and only using one dhcp server and statically setting up the other devices.
Thanks for your time!!!
Thank you for this tutorial! This really helped me get my new Edge Router setup!
Thank you so much, excellent guide to walk me through my router setup. I really appreciate this video.
Still useful in 2020
Thank you for sharing your knowledge... God bless
Thanks dude. Not sure why I couldn't just simply set it up like any other router.
Thanks for a really helpful video, Chris. You allowed techs at ubiquiti to keep some of their hair, as I stopped driving them nuts with your help. : )
Is powering the AP but you will lose performance on WiFi, this also depends by the power usage when operating, when you're not using the PoE.
Could you do a video of Edgerouter X vs Edgerouter lite as nobody is able to give a solid answer of the pros and cons of each, I am planning to upgrade my current stock 4 year old isp router which has integrated wifi with an external vdsl modem, to a draytek vigor 130 vdsl modem with an Edgerouter x or lite and a unifi ac lr for my home network
ER-X CPU is faster than ERL but ERX doesnt have hardware acceleration yet. If you need QoS get ER-X or better yet get mikrotik
Jamie Edwards T33 I agree. I'm torn between the two. I don't mind dishing out the extra cash, but I want to make sure that what I'm paying for is worth it.
I'd love if the owner of this channel can do a comparison between the two.
Just looking at the datasheets it looks like the Er-X is only rated from Ubiquiti for 130k packets per second and the Er-L is rated for 1 Million PPS, and it has the additional function of having a console port. Unless you're running some serious gigabit Internet like google fiber and or hundreds of concurrent users and such, i just wouldnt see a need for the ER-L
Thanks for the info, James. So then, someone like me who has AT&T Fiber with 100 MBps speeds would be ok with just the Edgerouter X? or would the Edgerouter Lite be best?
Hi, great videos with good simplifikation. Could you do guide over port forwarding and other necessary actions to open a port true this router via GUI.
Have you considered doing a edge router x with unifi switch setup? I want to go with that sort of setup, but I have the fear!
Yes, Do some comparison video's .... and thankfully your info is grand. ....cambium ever in your radar? . Cambium and ubiqitui are not the same . but would be very helpful if you did cambium as-well .... 10/10 for explaining it well. you got the like button . keep them coming
Hi Chris
You helped me a lot whit this tutorial.
I like to learn to do a static router for IP cameras or DVR surveillance cameras.
Example: DVR Local IP 192.168.1.150 Port: 8000
To acces the DVR fron the Internet
Thnak You
+Didimo Castillo Pretty simple - you would just need to open that port through the firewall with port forwarding. Watch the video at around the 9:10 mark for info on port forwarding.
Outstanding video series Chris. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this for us. Question for you, I followed your process step by step last night (on my home network) and was able to get everything up an running with no problem BUT after doing all the same steps today at work (with a 2nd router), I wasn't able to get computers to connect to the internet through the router. I can ping from a computer and the router is connected but, for instance, I cannot get a verified internet connection (in network set up or to connect via a browser). Any thoughts?
Thank you for the video. Would you please point us how you did set up your PIA VPN with Edgerouter X?
Hi Chris, could you please do a video on setting up static gateway routes. The scenario I have is this:
Router 1 (Netgear Nighthawk)[10.0.0.0 subnet] > Netgear AC1200 Extender > eth0 WAN EdgeRouter-X with primarily 172.16.x.x. subnets.
While I was able to get this working with masquerading to eth0, I found that I couldn't connect to services such as a bonjour printer (MDNS) in the 10.0.0.0 segment.
For the time being, I've move my ER-X into this configuration:
ER-X (eth3) > (lan port) on Nighthawk [disable DHCP] > .....
The ER-X is now running the DHCP server and all devices are within the same subnet. I was advised to remove the NAT masquerading and setup static gateway routes on the both the Router 1 side and on the ER-X.
Thanks again!
Great Job on the video. Very helpful! Going to try one of these myself :)
Have these been discontinued?
Really clear presentation, but I am a bit out of my depth. If I am to use this router to lead to two separate switches, would I need to select 'WAN + 2LAN' in the wizard (5:50)? What about for three switches and/or multiple users that will obviously not like their internet traffic muddled with others? Again, I don't really understand the realm of technology lol. Thanks in advance, any help most welcome.
Great video...thanks so much! Does this device basically provide two vLans (if set up that way)?
Ha - Nice Ghost Busters reference. Thanks for the info
love your videos. i been trying to make two asterisk box talk to each other. I get all circuits are busy now. I have an outgoing route with 2XXX. So frustrating. using soft phone. On my yealink i get forbidden. Which is telling me it can't see a 1XXX ext.
Thanks for the great installation video!
Ubiquity's marketing line of "carrier‑class reliability" is a bit of a joke IMO, as my router lasted only 2 years 2 months 2 days.
i had thesame issues with my sonicwalls, my ubiquitis were lasting longer, so i'm standing by them for now. soniwalls overheat and burn up after a couple years
That was Er-x you purchased 2.5 years ago? Did it break after firmware upgrade or just stopped working on its own?
I really enjoy your videos, and your straight forward take on reviewing and quickly unboxing the devices that you take on.
However; the first usable piece of information comes only like 5+ minutes in to the video. If one is here to look at your review of (yet another ;) ) ubiquiti device, we all know what the WAN and LAN is, and that we should update the firmware, and all of these very basic things that you run through every time.
I might be wrong, but it kind of feels like after watching 4-5 of your videos, i have spent 1/3 of my time looking at you updating firmware and plugging in the devices without really adding anything new to the process. If you are buying an edgerouter, and need to learn how to update the firmware or what your particular subnets are on your home network or how to change the admin password, then I think they are in the wrong place to begin with.
Please don't take this as negative criticism, I enjoy the videos you do, because you get to the info that I am looking for pretty quickly, I'm just pointing out that your target audience probably know these very basic things already, and you spend a fair amount of time going through them again and again over and over. Maybe you could fast track them a bit and get to the interesting parts a little faster?
Sorry for complaining, I just thought you could get some constructive criticism how to make your videos more to the point a tad quicker.
p.s. Will we ever get to see you play one of them guitars?
+Joakim Malmqvist (Jo) Totally understood - but keep in mind two things. First, the vast majority of people watching this video will likely only watch one video of mine - they bought something that they need help setting up, and they want to see it start to finish. Definitely seems repetitive when you watch a ton of my vids in a row, but most folks don't do that. Second, not everyone is super experienced in networking - heck, even I refer back to my own videos from time to time when I forget how to do something...so for the layman, this info is really valuable.
I appreciate the comments, and I am actually planning on getting into some more technical stuff on my channel as time permits, but all of the unboxing and initial setup type of videos will likely follow the same formula.
As for the guitars, you'll have to check out my guitar channel! (j/k - I don't have a guitar channel).
Thx ..Nice job Chris
+shrimant patel Thanks for watching!
I’m trying to merge 4 incoming lines @100mgb A line to 1
I really liked the butterfly knife used to open the box. Where did that come from?
looking for a tutorial for understanding my air os8 dashboard functions
I'm thinking about replacing my Google network box with a Edge router. The GNB interface is laughable like most ISP gateways. A how to video would be awesome but you're probably not in a Google fiber area. The plan is to setup a vpn on the edge to connect smart phones to.
Great videos! Can you do one on VPN setup with the EdgeRouter?
Great suggestion - thanks!
yes please do a video, How to set up a site-to-site vpn with two edgemax router.
Richard DePas wdthfvfddtp
Any update on possibility of a VPN setup site to site using two EdgeRouters?
What happened to the firewall interface?
Very interesting. So which would be better, power my unifi AP using the Edgerouter X with the included power adapter and run it through the poe passthrough on the router? Or power the router using POE and power the AP via poe passthrough OR power them independently? Would their be any differences in performance?
Can you please do a video on Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X x ER-X-SFP-US Advanced Gigabit 6-port Router...?
Great videos, very informative. Will running one of the wizard setups be enough to get a basic home user going or will I need to do more tinkering to get it going and safe. I plan on upgrading my router (currently Wireless N) and am currently using UAP for my wireless and will be getting an AC Lite when they come out, so I will not need a consumer wireless router if this one will fit the bill. Thanks for the great videos on the Ubiquiti products.
+gotmojo13 Unless you have a highly complex home network (most folks don't), then running one of the wizards will be enough to get you up and running at home. Thanks for watching!
Very informative video Chris. I've setup my 4 Ubiquiti AC-lite access points and they are coupled to an AWS micro instance cloud controller, all seems to work great! Love the fact that you can see the clients roaming from access point to access point seamlessly. The MERU Wireless system in work does this, but costs many times as much (albeit with a greater number of clients per access points and range). I'm looking at getting the edgerouter X and maybe a couple of POE tough switches to complement the setup ( and the replace the spiders web of 15 year old netgear / linksys switches I have dotted around the house) If I add these can they be managed through the Cloud controller as a single pane of glass view ?
+Norton Ansell No - in order to manage everything with UniFi, you need UniFi devices (the USG for firewall, and USW for switches).
+Crosstalk Solutions Right, good to know. I've ordered the edge router x to see what its like. My cable router seems to be having an issue at the moment where it slows down from 50mb to 3mb, ping times of 500ms +. Only seems to have started happening since I put the unifi access points in. But that might be a coincidence ? Turned off the uplink monitoring on the controller as suggested in the forums. is this something anyone has experienced before ?
Thanks for this. I was able to get the Edge working with computer and cameras based on your instructions, however I have no internet access. This is likely because I am setting it up in a cascade with the Edge as router #2. What settings do I need to change due to using a cable from router #1 plugged into the WAN port of the Edge for internet access? The networks are properly isolated with different third digits.
I was wondering if it's possible to power the ER-X from a device "inside" the network, such as a US-8 60W? I know that the ER-X can take the WAN input from eth4, rather than eth0, but that's quite enough to tell me if I can connect eth0 on the ER-X to one of the powered ports on a US-8 60W and have it all work nicely (one power supply for both devices).
hello sir!
How to configuration MAC filter in EdgeRouter Xsfp. Pls help me!!!!
Great video, would you recommend this in 2020? what kind of set up would you recommend for an apartment that won’t break the bank for 200mbps.
Great video, Chris! Thank you! Two questions if you don't mind helping me. 1. is this a product that would be easy enough to plug n play for a novice home user? 2. I want this to eliminate having wifi on 24x7 in my home, but can I place a wireless router (linksys velop) behind this router to pass the web signal to that for wireless service when I want wifi online? thx
Hey Chris! I live in rural alaska and one of two ways we get our internet service is either with a DSL Modem or with a ubiquiti 2.4 ghz antenna. My big question is can I power my edgrouter x with the Poe adapter, power the antenna AND receive internet service?
Great video Chris. Have you had a chance to do a speed test, against this router to determine what kind of throughput it can provide?
So with this router, can I plug my ISP cable directly into Eth0?
Or do I still need my ISP's modem?
Hi, thanks for making the video I found it very informative. I currently have a Cisco RV042 Firewall Router interfacing into our BT Leased Fibre (UK). How does the EdgeRouter X compare in terms of Firewall capability for a Small Business environment?
Thanks for the Review. Could you maybe do a comparison with a few of the Ubiquity Routers? For example what is the difference to the Edge Router Lite you use, which is more expensive but I can't seem to find mayor differences in performance... Thank you!
+wolfster83 Great suggestion - thanks!
HI,tks for thw video, i was wordering if you can do one on firewall on ER-X or ubiquiti in general
Hey Chris, I've been watching a bunch of your videos and they deserve way more views, excellent content and very engaging! I have a quick question though. I have a Cisco Small Business WRVS4400n that just died on me that I need to replace and I plan to do so with a separated router/AP solution for future upgradeability and performance. I also have a 42U server rack in the basement that I use for hosting, all on the same ISP/IP address, so I have a decent amount of throughput that's required from time to time.
What is the difference between the EdgeRouter X and the EdgeRouter ERPOE-5 as far as performance and features? Is the ERX capable of full routing duties? Doesn't it run the same software? The POE is not super important to me, although I plan to also get the Unifi AP AC LR that's a new release as you discussed in one of your other videos, but I understand it works fine on 24v Passive. I know the ER-X isn't a 1 million pps router and doesn't support hardware offload, whereas the ERPOE-5 boasts both of these features. How big of a difference is there in performance do you think? I don't mind spending the extra money. Thanks!
+CyberdyneProductions The EdgeRouter X is definitely lighter on performance - it is more for home use in my opinion. For instance, it doesn't have the built in packet acceleration that gets the ER-LITE and ER-POE to the million packet per second performance that they boast (I forget exactly what that feature is called). I don't have specifics on performance differences - the data sheets should show you the CPU that is used in each device.
The ER-POE on the other hand is great for business and has full routing capabilities. I have been very happy with it each time I have installed it for a customer, and I highly recommend it if you are going to be using it in conjunction with the Ubiquiti AP's.
Bottom line - if you can afford the extra cost of the ER-POE, I believe it is well worth the investment. I only wish Ubiquiti was paying me to sell their routers. :)
+Crosstalk Solutions Awesome, great response and thank you again. If I was a Ubiquiti exec I would definitely cut you a check haha!
thx for this setup
GREAT VIDEO !! CONGRATS !
Does the lan have to be 192.168.1.x? My lan already has this range. I would like to use this device as a firewall/firewalla/mac spoof.
Is it worth it to get a UBWS certificate or is it a waste of time and how much value does it have in the job market?
Question. I'm wanting to install a small rack in a closet at my house but I want to make sure I use the correct equipment. I'll be running about 24 devices wired and a hand full of wireless devices. We will have 1 to 3 PS4 systems gaming and maybe a netflix or two devices streaming. Should I go with tbe edgerouter x or edgerouter 4? I'll be using 2 AC Pro APs to run the wifi and I have yet decided on which switch to purchase. I have 6 PoE devices to power. Any suggestions?
I am fairly new to Ubiquiti and therefore ask. I will be able to take this and replace my netgear router with my home network. ?
Hey Chris, I have a question.
I am struggling to find info on this.
What do I need to set up on my normal router so that all Internet and traffic of the whole network only uses the EdgerouterX?
Do I switch off WIFI and DHCP if i am using the Edgerouter and have a UAP for wifi?
And what ranges should the adsl router be and what should the Edgerouter be? THe range i'll be using is 192.168.0.1
Hope you can help. Thanks
Why would you change the DNS 1 and 2? New to networking. Thanks
+Wes Jacobs He changed the DNS so they they are using something other than what's provided by his ISP. The address 4.2.2.2 is a free for public-use DNS provided by L3 and the 8.8.8.8 is the same operated by Google. I've been using OpenDNS' servers for a while, go down to the benefit matrix and you can see some of the benefits of using something other than your ISP DNS servers: www.opendns.com/home-internet-security/
I’m trying to setup ddns on my edge router x and when I save and check the configs it says other insted of eth0 and I have tryed setting it up over 50 times and it does the same thing so I’m wondering how do I fix it
Great job on the video. Looks like in the network setup you can specify a unifi controller and manage multiple devices at once from that controller.
I'm looking for QOS as well as being able to see every connected device on the network and how much traffic it is currently using.
Does the interface show you all ethernet connected devices with activity similar to how a UAP shows you connected wireless clients? I saw a screenshot that might have looked like it would do that.
But, I wonder if Eth2 is actually connected to a switch that serves multiple clients. Would I only see activity on ETH2 for the switch connected to it, or would it identify each mac or IP of the clients connected to the switch?
If you're looking for that level of detail, you're probably best off with the ER-LITE.
CAN you show how to have 2 isolated network. I have one i want to create another one. i tried but i do mistake some where so i lose internet for both network
