Thanks Willie! It is so refreshing to have a Technology presenter who is pleasant to listen to without having to analyze Nuclear Fusion between topics.
Set this up for a client. 3 weeks ago. Gig symetrical. 70 users. 260 IPs. VoIP cells and laptops. Doesn't sweat. Less then 15% cpu constant
Are there any changes that you have to do within the ER device to accomodate the Gigabit speeds or just accomodates that high speed out the box with default configuration? Did you enable Hardware Offload?
Add Northwest Kansas to a place with PPPoE as well. Perhaps the largest provider in the area, Nex-tech started as Rural Telephone with dial-up, then moved to DSL/wireless before making the transition to fiber in many of these small rural towns and cities. Where they had DSL, they kept PPPoE. I even had one customer who was a DHCP hold-out and when their OTN failed, Nex-tech switched them over to PPPoE, presumably for consistency and manageability.
I’m in Cape Town, we use PPPoE primarily. I have gigabit symmetrical if you’re still looking to test. But it’s probably a lot slower going across the pond.
Hey man, this was very informative. Thanks for putting it together. Way more info than I needed to do what I was doing but I love learning about the other ways to use this stuff. 👍
When I bridged my networks, my speed went from 940 mbps to 300 mbps. I recommend not doing that on gigabit connections as I've seen others having the same issue.
I have found, after a lot of troubleshooting, that the default firewall blocks my ISP from getting in. What is the best way around this?
Thank you for this video! It was a tremendous help and very informative. I appreciated very much for giving your time to make this for us all!
Thanks for this video. I wasn't setting it up first time.i deleted my eth 1-2 bridge and for some reason lost access to eth1 completely.
I reset and still couldn't get access, what was I doing wrong? I still had my lan plugged into eth1 and wan in eth0. I forgot we had to plug into eth0 to setup.
Love the er4, but certainly some fundamental changes from a general router for us limited knowledge types. Cheers!
What is the benefit of selecting "Bridge LAN interfaces into a single network" option? What are the drawbacks? (10:00 minute mark). In all the setup videos I see, people check it off and bridge ports Eth1 and 2. In forum posts people say to disable port Eth2 and only use Eth1 connected to a switch. No one exactly explains the reasons why though in a practical home or small business network environment. Can you please help? You seem very knowledgeable.
I’ve looked at a lot of videos, and yours was the easiest to follow, so maybe you can help with a step-by-step on any idea on how to factory reset the edgerouter4?
Take paperclip - straighten paperclip - insert into reset hole - hold for 15 seconds
Just ordered this box. I have a 500mbit full duplex connection and needed a box that could handle that. This one should handle it with ease
Can I connect 2 switches to eth1 and eth2 to edgerouter 4 without bridging in wizard setup? I appreciate any help.
What’s that aluminum device on the left, just above what looks like an USG? Seems the new cloud key...
Great help! Very comprehensive video!
A little confused about something, why is it called EdgeRouter, what is with the prefix Edge, I am assuming that is just a brand name.
Are you still wanting to do the site to site tests??? BTW thanks for the videos always worth a watch!
This video is excellent. I read the QSG twice and I was unable to configure the ER4 until I watched this video. My provider is CenturyLink and their Router is setup as IPoE and DHCP. I want to eliminate the CenturyLink Router and connect the ER4 directly to their ONdevice. Can you assist me with the ER4 settings?
Congrats on Gigabit internet! I would give my kidney for symmetrical gigabit though, my upload varies between 1mbps and 30mbps, which causes tons of issues with QoS, etc. 7:59 Tons of PPPoE around here (Ontario, Canada) for FTTN (50/10 VDSL). 16:40 the reason why the speedtest went above 1gig is because your browser "paused" the fast.com tab when you switched to another tab messing up the results. You have to use two browser windows (or dual monitors) if you want to monitor the router status and run a true speedtest at the same time.
Thanks for this video. I wanted to go bare bones and configure it manually, but yikes. Now, in 2020 they ship with switch ports set to request DHCP so you just have to plug it in and either look up the new host in your DHCP server or scan for it.
Doesn't bridging give you the same issues the Ubiquiti 5 port router ERpoe-5. Also can you enable hardware accleration without going to the cli?
Can you disable all cloud administrator from this router?? I heard Ubiquiti has that cloud management system, I would like it to only be accessed locally. Please let me know
How many client computers can handle?
Thanks Willie! Awesome vid! Quick question, if I set it up like this using a bridge, do I just plug my Xbox into eth1 and my wireless ap into eth2? Is that it? Thanks!
I did an upgrade to 1.10.11.5274269. When I log in to CLI, I get "Boot image can be upgraded to version e50_002_4c817. Will it upgrade the router to the newest 2.0.8 ? I would not want to upgrade because of the loss of speed. Any suggestions?
What is the diff boot image and firmware , I thought they are the same ?
great video! anyway to bridge eth1 and eth3 together so i have 2 lan ports? i'm short on a switch at the moment. eth0 is wan ty
Can you setup 2 separate lans using one edge router for example use one LAN for data and one for ip cameras? That way ip cameras do not use addresses for other devices?
Yes. Don't bridge.
you got mikrotik gr3 do you?
I have a 2.2gb symmetrical connection, can I still bridge and get 2gb? Also, you said you'd setup eth 3 + 4 later in the video, but you never did :(
what speeds do you get with smart qos ? thanks for your great work
Chris Mallia Mine Is set to 320 download and 32 upload. A+ on dslreports
+Highlighted
Thank you for your reply. Nice speeds there, Hope Willie will tell us what speed he is getting on Gig
Chris Mallia yeah same
No answer to such a good and simple question??
Wow, Gigabit internet! Here in Australia we're locked into a maximum of about 100Mbps for residential customers. Maybe we'll get Gigabit next century :(
So your brand new gig does not give you IPv6?? I only have 940/40 (Spectrum Gig over DOCSIS 3.1) with ER-6p so won't fit your symmetrical test criteria :( But I have v6 :)
Hi Willie. Could I get your opinion on a set up here. How can I send an email to explain?
Wit edge swicht not working
Why did you only configure IPv4 and not IPv6?
MustermannAnybody I would say that IPv6 is outside of this channels usual scope. I've no doubt Willie and his team could run it up but I suspect IPv6 may leave some of the target audience behind. Or to put it another way IPv6 would be a video in itself.
@@GavinPeters And ipv6 is useless headache also... At least while ipv4 is still around, I really don't see the point of banging heads on walls with ipv6 !
Nice bro😅
hello i have a fiber connection with 200/100->200 download, 100 upload
great story.
Hello Someone here can tell me how to make radius server with USG ? :) A school wait after me to complete that :p
Friends don't let friends bring IoT devices into their networks, back away from the smart plugs.
Negative, lol. My phone listens to too much as it is. Though I am interested in the new office/shop space you have going on.
Just segregate them.
I don’t care about the blue color
Hi, great tutorial! I've already bought this model, for this device you suggest me to use 1.x firmware or 2.x firmware? Thanks
Ditto
Willie finally gets gigabit!!! Woo Hoo! It will really change how you do things on the internet :) Mmmm edge routers. P.S. what keyboard are you using on that pc?
Could you turn on the Smart Queue on QoS (apply to download and upload traffic) and check the speed again as well as the CPU load? Thanks in advance!
Krzysiek Osfald got mine on 320 download / 32 upload with A+ on dslreport.
When you enable LAN Bridging does that open up ports 3 and 4 as well or do you have to take extra steps to enable the remaining ports?
One thing I hope they include in the wizard, is the ability to use the SFP port as the LAN connection
you should be able to. I inserted a Cisco MM SFP, ran CLI command view the specs and so far it's compatible.
I got 5 GBs for 70$ in Denmark 😁
Thank you. I didn't want to waste time digging for installation info or how to make the EdgeRouter4 work. Your video had me up and running in 20 minutes. Just a residential site but with a dedicated server cab. and switches, etc. Speeds almost doubled from a Netgear R7000 router. Using the port 2 for a dedicated Wi-Fi connection. I miss those X-mas lights btw, everything is LED now, but for a good cause.
Great videos! Keep it up, maybe an update on VPN site to site or for clients would help. Is there a possibility of QOS (bandwidth limiter) per VLAN or subnet or even for different Wifi SSID? How about application control. Thanks!
Alright, I know very little about any of this, but I was talked into getting this EdgeRouter 4... But I already have a modem-router from my existing internet provider, so how can I connect it and set it up to my modem-router? Also, can it be done without a PC - if not, can it be done with a laptop?
Seriously great tutorial. Even working with a Mac I was able to set this up without any issues. Many thanks.
At 10.40 timestamp I felt like I had answered something wrong and he was correcting me lol
Here in Sweden I have a 250/250Mbit fiber connection for $54, For $108 I can get 1/1GBit. How is the prices in the rest of the world.
Do You Guy, how have a 1Gbit connection is it worth the extra premium in a small Household?
In Romania, I get fiber 1GBit/500Mbits for 10$/month... I know, it's unfair :p
I appreciate the great video. You just convinced me to purchase one of these to replace my aging netgear 6400. Thanks!
Wondering if this would work for me. I had a USG 8 port POE switch and 2 AC HD pros. I couldn’t get higher than 300 Mbps down on a Comcast gigabit connection. The usg was always at 80% load.
Is that with the hardware nat and checksum offloading enabled?
Awesome video as always Willie! I can't wait to see your next one. I've been waiting to see someone with a gigabit connection, put PIA or similar on a Edgerouter and do some real world speed tests. I'm running NordVPN, just using their computer app since I have a USG pro, and I'm getting around 300-400mbps out of a gigabit connection. I'm tempted to add an Edgerouter into the network so I can have a vpn option for other devices.
I am looking at ubiquity er4 for ipv6 tunnel. Have you done a video?l
Do this router support link aggregation?
its synchronous - not symmetrical
Excellent 101 level video.
I would love to help test but, 1000/40 :(
I do have an er4 and erl (retired)
Any plan to do some VLANs with EdgeSwitchs?
Great router
It not availeble
I remember watching some your Edgerouter vids about 2 years back. Ordered a Edgerouter 12 soon after almost 2 years ago. I finally unboxed it last night as I was setting up a new Gig+ Motorola 8611 modem. This vid was really helpful. I’ll have to watch quite a few more to setup the other stuff as I also have PIA VPN. Speed test after was getting 380mbps on a 1 gig connection. Further checking required I guess.
Hmmm, something's not right! I just got the EdgeRouter 6P and set it up exactly as you did in this video (aside from bridging) and I'm only getting about 500 up/down on my gigabit connection. Weird! Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?
I replaced a Linksys AC4000 (EA9300) router which was getting all of that gigabit connection throughput.
Thanks and great vid!
Hi Willie. A little help if poss.
I have just bought an ER4 and currently have a Draytek Vigor 130 modem in bridge mode on @t
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 from a device on the lan?
Thanks!
On the page for system settings, system gateway address field, and having a static IP provided by the ISP, is the address to be entered here supposed to be the one for the device itself (172.16.30.1) or the one provided by the ISP? It's not clear to me whether it's asking for the local or providers gateway.
Hi Willie, I have gone thru the set up numerous times... I apply->reboot and get a 'Unable to connect to the device. Please check your network connection.' It's never made it thru a reboot. I eventually get back into the router and my changes aren't saved. Could this be an issue w/ the router? Thank you Willie!
Hi Willie. Great videos. I just got my ER4 and went to update the firmware as you did, but it would upload it.
Trying to go from v1.10.7 --> 1.10.11 that is available.
Any ideas?
i am rewiring my home with the cat5e that is coming from the basement. 5 of them total going into 5 different rooms. i just recently purchased the Asus GT-AX11000 for gaming. however i will need to put a router in the basement and have a modem-router-switch set up. however my AX11000 will not benefit being in the basement with its wireless signal not being able to reach most of the house from the basement.. would this router allow me to put it in the basement , connect to the switch in the basemenet, and a cat53 from the switch connecting to the AX11000 upstairs for everyone in the home to connect to the gaming router wirelessly and still be able to use the functions qos etc from the AX11000? or would i have to basically disable DHCP on the AX1100 and forced to use settings from this router?
Hello Bro, I need to configure for a source LAN IP, send the packets by a specific interface or a route with a gateway. I currently have two interfaces configured with two different ISPs. Can you give me some instructions or can I give you remote access?
Can you please help me out with an issue: I've done exactly the same setup and configuration but when I reboot after setting up basic setup in bridge mode I can't get internet on eth1 or eth2. I also noticed that I'm not getting an IP address on eth0. Do you know what's going on?
What an excellent video, so helpful. I am thinking of buying one of these for my home network. Not sure if I should get one of these or a Cisco RV.
Good tutorial. A+. I'm fairly new to Ubiquiti and I found an Edge Router Lite 3 at a Goodwill for $3, so I said why not?
I just got my ER4 a couple of days ago, upgrading from Lite. I didn't import the settings from my old but using a couple of CLI commands I was able to get reservations, UPnP2 and firewall settings to push in through Putty.
The reason I didn't migrate over was I wanted to use the SFP for my LAN (I know it doesn't matter but I had a few modules and 3' fiber laying around).
The ER4 is a beast for the price point. I am getting much better results than with the Lite or X and I was very happy with those.
Just setup a Edge Router 10X following your instructions......thank you......next step is the AP set up!!
9:56 you said that you will add sfp port later, but i watched your video , you didnt tell us how to add SFP port in the bridge network
Hi, Willie, are you still interested in that test ?
I happen to have a 10G/10G to a 1G site to site connection with an ER-8 to 2 ER-x sites.
Willie, for your IPSec test I've got 940/150 fibre on unifi USG if you want to test it out on different platforms
Hi edgerouter is similar to microtik router, why we have to edgerouter?? Thnx
I have not been able to get passed the part where Im at ubnt setting up the account.
Just seeing this I have gigabit internet too are u still making videos?
I love my 1Gbps and would love to go to a 10Gbps connection at some point
Hi. Great video. I'm curious, how do you set up automatic date time on these routers so it pulls from an ntp server? also where does it display the time? Thanks, Ed.
Excellent tutorial video! Thanks for the detailed overview on how to get this router set up.
Absolutely perfect video! Thanks so much. Keep it up!
Nice video but seems a bit complicated for a non IT guy. Can you recommend a descent amount of port router that I can hook to my modem? I basically want to have wired internet throughout my house. I notice there are alot of switch routers out there but I don't know if that will do the job.. They are not actual routers are they?
If you have a consumer router/switch combo, it probably has 3-4 ports. You can upgrade your router to one that has the number of ports you want to have wired connectivity in your house. For example, you might have 2 bedrooms and a living room. If you want want each bedroom to have 2 ports and your living room to have 4 ports, you would need a router with a WAN port + 8 Ethernet ports. Then you could run Ethernet cabling from your router's location to the rest of your house and install unmanaged/dumb switches to expand your network as needed.
Great work. Thank you.
Thanks for the great video!
Great video, thank you!!
Is that Centurylink gigabit?
Willie who is the isp offering such a cheap price for synchronous gig?
