Review: A router with full control. - tl;dr full control router, no recommended for click-next users (if this is you, go to the UniFi line instead). Great value for a nice almost corporative grade router with enough power to truly handle 1 Gb bandwidth thru WAN-NAT-LAN while providing DHCP and DNS services. The Ubiquiti EdgeOS is based on the outdated Vyatta 6.3 router OS, but Ubiquiti has updated and regularly post security patches. This means this router could be configured and customized by using the unix CLI. Of course it has a web GUI, but the real power is on the CLI. If you feel comfortable on unix, you can even install extra packages and services. Now on COVID time with high VPN requirement demands, I have been able to deploy this router on a medium size business (60+ clients). The build-in VPN server can be authenticate using the intranet Windows Domain Server (Active Directory, NPS (RADIUS) , DNS, Certificate Authority). The workstations use the build-in Windows VPN client. Ubiquiti documentation is lacking on how to use the advance features. These can be better documented on the Vyatta documentation. Also YouTube has plenty amazing tutorial videos for beginners and how to start with the advanced features. Once you learn how to use this router you will be glad that you choose this over the easy click-next, but limited UniFi line.
Review: Excellent router for prosumers and professionals alike - The Ubiquiti EdgeRouter4 (ER4) falls somewhere in between a consumer grade SOHO router (NetGear, Linksys, etc.) and enterprise class (Cisco, Juniper). It supplies many of the features of enterprise grade hardware, such as a robust CLI, and is packaged in a durable, fanless metal box that is easily wall mounted. The SFP port is a nice plus when you need it. I purchased this product for two reasons: to better segment my home network and because it can handle Cox Gigablast's 1Gb downstream connectivity. I no longer have the time to build and maintain my own Linux or *BSD based router and this is the next best thing. The TL;DR version of below is: if you need 1 Gb symmetric (TX & RX) performance, the ER4 has you covered. If your upstream connectivity is limited to hundreds of Mb or less, you should consider the Unifi Security Gateway (USG) instead. The pros: great web GUI that doesn't hide technical complexity from the user; it does not force coddle you or obfuscate capability behind a boring interface. While wizards are available to walk you through common setup scenarios, they are optional, and you have the ability to make changes after the fact. Pretty, interactive, and live graphs on the dashboard and DPI for client IPs are nicely, albeit mostly cosmetic, features. Performance is great and you can setup almost everything from VLANs to firewalls to various services (VPN, DHCP) in the GUI. If you are a native Linux user and are already familiar with how most networking concepts (including iptables firewalls) are implemented, you will find setup intuitive and clean. If you are coming from other enterprise grade hardware companies, such as Cisco, you're going to have a slight learning curve while you translate concepts and technology implementations. The device also integrates with Ubiquiti's network management system, UNMS, a godsend if you are trying to manage multiple networks/sites/etc., less useful if you're just a home user. The cons: Apparently, Ubiquiti for some reason maintains two separate management systems, UNMS and Unifi, both with overlapping features, but nearly independent ecosystems. You cannot manage Edge devices in Unifi and vice versa. it escapes me why this makes sense, rather than have a "step up" market strategy where you hook small businesses into your equipment and offer them an upgrade path as they grow. Apparently, the benefit of the Edge series is you don't require it to be centrally managed (UNMS), while the Unifi hardware requires a unifi controller to do so. I can see the value in some situations of stand alone management interfaces, but why the central management system can't manage both types of devices makes no sense to me. So why the ER4? I couldn't find good documentation on performance for the various Edge class (UNMS) and USG (Unifi) hardware, although I heard many reports that the USG could not switch gigabit Ethernet at full duplex (meaning symmetric) on its WAN interface, while the ER4 could. This was a show stopper for me. The ER4 is fully capable of switching 1 Gb of symmetric traffic.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is it able to handle dual wan with 1000mbps?**
A: Yes, handles a dual wan with 1gbps at the full 1 gbps throughput without dpi or qos.  With qos enabled, throughout drops to 500mbps or so (still much faster than other consumer grade routers).  Contrary to the implication in the other comment, this does not have a 10G sfp+.  The sfp port is 1G only.

**Q: can this router use the Ethernet port for up link port to LAN switch?**
A: yes, you can connect the eth1 or eth2 to your switch

**Q: does this have wifi router i have netgear cm1100 i want push my full gig?**
A: No, it doesn't have WiFi

**Q: Where can I buy the rackmount kit for this device?**
A: TigerDirect for Business shows ER-RMKIT or 40975649 but was out of stock (15 bucks).  A1 Security Cameras shows it but asks to contact them for price.
