Review on πŸ”Œ 5-Port Edgerouter Router with Power over Ethernet (PoE) by Sean House

Revainrating 4 out of 5

This little thing is amazing. Not for the average home user

Oh yeah! This little thing is amazing. Not for the average home user and you'll need some networking experience to set it up properly. I've tried several wireless routers and got tired of trying to fix Wi-Fi and routing issues in one package. I did a little research and settled on this guy. Very happy with it. I had no problems with that at all. Setting up 2 VLANs, VPN and POE ports powers my wireless access points. POE ports are the icing on the cake as it just means fewer power supplies and fewer cables in my attic. The only drawback is the interface. If you are using a Mac, you must use Firefox or the status icons will not display properly. The UI doesn't work from iOS Safari (loads but nothing fills in properly). The CLI in the interface does not always load correctly, it is better to start an SSH connection from a terminal. Too bad I didn't find Ubiquiti sooner. Now I am using their router, APs and 2 Nanostations to build a bridge to my shop 200ft from the main house where I have installed another of their APs and everything is working fine! Who wants to buy used Apple base stations?
