Review on 🚀 Enhance Your Network with the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 6P: A Powerful 6-Port Gigabit Router with 1 SFP Port (ER-6P-US) by Seth Singh

I rarely write reviews but I had to write one for this POS. It looks great at first glance, chic design, passive cooling, six Gigabit Ethernet ports and one SFP. Then comes the problem, the first thing all reviews tell you is to use the wizard to set it up. Magic my ass! The wizard will ask you for basic setup information, e.g. B. which ports you want to use for your WAN and which ports for your LAN. So I chose Eth0 and Eth5 and the LAN ports were Eth1 and ETH2. The wizard then asks about using DHCP, which is why I said set up my DHCP on the 10.10.10.x network, not the standard 192.168.1.x. Finally, the wizard asks for a username and password, which I'm happy to have changed to something else. When finished, the wizard will ask you to reboot your router and set the WAN (modem) to eth0 and the switch to either ETH1 or ETH2. All hell has broken loose here, my friends! I did what the wizard suggested and I couldn't connect. I know what you're thinking, I'm kind of a noob with no experience using a router unless it's a GUI interface, but you're wrong as I'm very experienced with using command lines bin and the routing is not that difficult. So the router wanted to use the 192.168.1.x network the whole time after I told it not to use it and use network 10 instead. I know you're telling yourself what the difference is between the one and the other is since I'm at home all the network is on network 10. I didn't want to change my entire network key to 192.168.1.x to do something that should work. At this point I'm thinking maybe the device needs a firmware update and that fixes the problem? No, the firmware is not loaded via the GUI. The GUI says it's running version 1.9.x and the website has a newer version listed as 1.10.8 so I download the version and try to download the firmware but it fails. What is wrong with this router. So I open a command terminal window and see that this is a duplicate of what is already there. Wait, the GUI says one thing, but the command line interface tells me something else. WTF? Okay, maybe I need to restart the device and start over, so I did that and the same thing happened again. Okay I spent two hours messing around with this thing just so it doesn't do what I want like using the "DAMN" 10 network! C'mon Ubiquiti Network, there's this thing called RFC 1918 and it says you can have more than one non-routable network other than 192.168.xx. For example like 10.xxx, 172.16.xx - 172.31.xx How would I no matter how you want to use this device, the cheap Walmart router has better settings than yours. Maybe I have an inferior device, but I don't want to find out. Going back to Cisco, at least I know this crap works, even if it's a lot more CLI driven and costs a lot more.
