Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 4

Picked this up after wanting to sort out home networking to match Gigabit fibre. I ordered the ER-4 after reading multiple positive reviews and guides on geekzone.co.nz Note this is pro bit of kit, not your normal home router - the UI is pretty easy, the command line more powerful but you do need to have an idea of what you are doing. That said, it is a lovely bit of kit, especially when used with other Ubiquity kit and managed via UNMS, their management UI/server. This is now available for free in the cloud if you have >10 bits of EdgeXXX kit. Or, like me you can run it on a server or VM (in FreeNAS). As mentioned in my other reviews - having the SFP port meant I could run Gigabit fibre around the house/garage which is sweet, has better distance than Cat5e/6 and is much more flexible.

Not the easiest router to set up, but should be do-able by anyone who has set a few different routers up in the past and understands basic routing rules and has the fundamentals down. This is surprisingly fast and has a ton of great features. We used it to replace a Checkpoint 4400 series router that had failed, and I think this router for less than 1/4 of the price of the Checkpoint, may be better!

It runs louder than my r710. I had to swap out the fans which are always on and never spin down with noctua fans. It is quiet now. I like the router, using UNMS with it now. It was the last item to get running to switch my house over to ubiquiti equipment. I'm glad i switched, much more control over my network. It is solidly built except for noisey fans. Power supply is just a brick that could be swapped out from internally instead of needing to solder in a new board like cisco devices.

Great product I have not fully put it into full use yet and once I do I will update the review to if needed

Prima router veel configuratie mogelijkheden en zelfs met POE. Het configureren viel alles mee, was in een half uurtje voor elkaar. Wel effe opletten welke poorten je gebruikt. ETH1 is namelijk gescheiden van ETH2,3 en 4.
