Review on πŸ”Œ High-Performance Ubiquiti Networks Edgerouter Lite 3-Port Router for Advanced Connectivity by Tony Hanson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fast (though see below), runs pretty hot so make sure it can breathe

I like it. It's fast IF YOU ENABLE EQUIPMENT UNLOADING (check it out in the reviews and online documentation too). But for heaven's sake, dude, what a fool would think 1) not to activate this by default (from here many see a speed limit of approx. 200 Mbit/s and complain about the router) 2) don't add tabs and checkboxes activate it. You must do this using the command line interface. In 2020 - WTF? You can do all kinds of QoS etc from the GUI, but isn't that an important setting change?! POOH! Oh, and to make matters worse, the example code they provide in their website's documentation, which conveniently has a "copy" function, can't be pasted into the CLI they provide - why, just why? ! So I had to connect to the router via SSH. What's a PITA if you're not an IT professional for life (I'm not). Make it the default and put it in the GUI and my score will be 5.

Pros
  • Great range
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
