Review on Ubiquiti Networks EdgeRouter 12 - High-Performance 10-Port Gigabit Router with PoE Passthrough and Dual SFP Ports (ER-12) by David Hashman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Networking Swiss Army Knife (in the box!)

I have to say these new EdgeRouters are AWESOME for handling some of the toughest networking situations you could face. A variant of Debian Linux runs under the hood, which means you have access to a whole library of useful third-party products like Python3. Current firmware versions have unlocked hardware offload capabilities for switching, VLAN, and interconnect; while bridging (naturally) is still handled by the software. "Set up a LAG trunk with some VLANs bound to one bridge and some to another bridge so they can participate with differently numbered VLANs configured and running in its hardware switch? Rude and mean, of course. but like a naughty girlfriend, she will do it without question and ask for more! This is an absolute beast and will be shortlisted for future projects. Well done, ubiquity.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Big and Bulky
