Review on 🔌 5-Port Edgerouter Router with Power over Ethernet (PoE) by Jonathan Cartwright

This router and I assume all its cousins really do a lot for the price. You can have up to 5 independent routing interfaces (3 by default until you disable the "switch"), you can set any firewall rules and routing you want. Aside from the built-in browser-based UI (which you'll want to update after unzipping), you have direct ssh access to the Linux command line and can do pretty much anything you can think of once you understand Linux and networking. For example, I set up some custom scripts to reconfigure the VPN tunnel from my phone. But. The standard document really only covers bread and butter, and to do anything beyond the usual basic firewall/router functionality requires a lot of searching and reading and trying posts on forums and blogs. Those who like it and have the time will be happy, especially for the price. If you don't know what a subnet or DNAT is, you should look elsewhere. Some people have mentioned that it's too hot - yes, it's warm - but I actually prefer it to the hum of the fan. I just received my second device and the first one is still working perfectly after 2 years. So great value for money but only if you're techie enough.
