Review on ๐Ÿš€ Enhance Your Network with the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 6P: A Powerful 6-Port Gigabit Router with 1 SFP Port (ER-6P-US) by Eloy Boelkens

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sexy routers for IT people - code only buggy AF

UPDATE: I found the secret of this router: do the initial setup with the wizard, then discard the web interface until it's assembled. . For some reason, the changes are not immediately reflected in the web interface. Change to 5 stars. I love this router. USE CLI = beer. I bought this router a week ago. I have two ISPs, IoT subnets and people. The setup was simple/trivial, but it didn't work. I set up eth0 and 1 as wans and then used 5 and 2 as cables to the switches. I sat down at the console, read the logs. Yes, lots of crappy messages like "ioctl blah", "dhcpd blah", "firmware not loaded" etc. Reboot, update to 2.01, get going again but with a different one Configuration. I pretty much had to rewrite my entire network to avoid one of the myriad bugs in the code. Hardware failure, software failure, load balancing failure. Ubiquity should probably outsource the quality control process because they don't do it themselves.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • For old
