UBIQUITI ER-X Networks EdgeRouter X 5 Ports Gigabit LAN/WAN Router, Black

Product Information

Our testing bench is based on a Cisco T-Rex project which in turn is based on the DPDK framework which we are going to cover in future articles and consists of: Host

If you are unable to connect to the EdgeRouter, then consider using either the WiFiman Desktop or Ubiquiti ISP Management and Business software ( UISP). Ubiquiti Networks is sealing the digital gap by building network communication platforms for everyone everywhere. With over 10 million devices deployed in over 180 countries, Ubiquiti is transforming under networked businesses and communities. It’s true that it’s usually better to get a separate switch. On the other hand, Mikrotik has models that do use switch chips in addition to the CPU or SoC, and they’re less expensive than the ER-6P. I got this device yesterday. I used the simple wizzard to set it up with a PPPoE home connection. My use case is simple too: I just need to split internet access for two home computers, a bigger rig I’m using and an htpc computer used by someone else for web browsing. Connect an Ethernet cable from eth1 on the EdgeRouter to a LAN segment that has an existing DHCP server.

Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on your computer to the port labeled eth0/PoE In on the EdgeRouter. If you are using PoE, then connect your computer to the EdgeRouter via a PoE switch or to the adapter’s LAN port. by Ian Hellier This ultra-in-demand little box was well worth the wait.

This setting will forward the public IP from the ISP modem/router to the EdgeRouter. The EdgeRouter will not be discoverable by WAN clients if firewall policies from the Basic Setup wizard are applied.The Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X or ER-X is one of the most affordable routers/ firewalls available on the market. It is based on a MediaTek MT7621 SoC containing a 880 MHz MIPS 1004KEc dual-core CPU, an embedded 5-port Gigabit Ethernet switch, and a variety of connectivity options including RGMII, PCIe, USB, SD-XC (not all of these features are present on the ER-X.) This platform is popular on the wireless router market with offerings from most of the major players in the segment, like Netgear, ASUS, TP-Link, D-Link, Buffalo, etc. As of the v1.9.1 EdgeOS firmware release, all EdgeRouter models support some type of hardware offloading. Please see our Hardware Offloading article for more information.

If you’ve already bought this Ubiquiti router, you may follow this simple step-by-step guide to get started: We will likely update this system as we get to higher-performing machines, but this is overkill for this class of device. This is a new system and a different configuration, but you can read our Dell Precision T7920 Dual Intel Xeon Workstation Review for more on the platform itself. Non Drop Rate test (NDR) The router is part of Ubiquiti’s EdgeMAX platform. EdgeMAX combines carrier-class reliability with enterprise-level features in a compact and affordable unit. When it comes to shape, the EdgeRouter X is different from the usual consumer-level router in terms of design and functionality, utilizing a more traditional method from the exterior point of view.

EdgeOS Overview

NOTE: When configuring a router with a built-in switch (such as the ER-12, ER-12P, ER-10X, ER-X or ER-X-SFP), the LAN will be set to the switch0 interface. In this case, all ports assigned to the switch will share the same LAN. That is actually a really nice feature that many competitive products do not offer, especially in this price range. EdgeRouter X Performance Last year I decided to upgrade the switch portion of my network and got a used DGS-1510-20 which is now connected via the SFP using a DAC.
