Ubiquiti Networks 6 Port EdgeRouter X SFP Gigabit Router with PoE

Product Information

Other EdgeRouters that do not include a switch-chip are able to achieve a similar functionality by the usage of bridged ports. However, interface bridging is done in software and this will affect the performance of the device. See our Hardware Offloadingarticle and Creating a Bridged Interface for more information.

There are many different EdgeRouters that support Power over Ethernet (PoE). The PoE standard on most EdgeRouters is 24V Passive PoE, which is available on the following models: Other differences between the routers are the amount of interfaces (including SFP/SFP+ slots) and the available resources. The ER-4 for example, has a 4-core 1GHz CPU with 1GB of available RAM, whereas the ER-X has a 2-core 880 MHz CPU with 256MB of available RAM. WARNING: FAILURE TO PROVIDE PROPER VENTILATION MAY CAUSE FIRE HAZARD. KEEP AT LEAST 20 MM OF CLEARANCE NEXT TO THE VENTILATION HOLES FOR ADEQUATE AIRFLOW.For outdoor applications, shielded Category 5 (or above) cabling should be used for all wired Ethernet connections and should be grounded through the AC ground of the power supply. Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors, the EdgeRouter itself should be housed inside a protective enclosure.

Yes, the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 4 offers an intuitive, user-friendly interface that guides users through the setup process, making it straightforward and hassle-free. The Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 4 is a versatile router capable of handling multiple tasks efficiently. Its high-speed performance and robust connectivity make it an ideal choice for small businesses where multiple devices often need simultaneous internet access. It has been recognized as one of the best small business routers in the market. The Power Cord grounds the device; however, you can add optional ESD grounding for enhanced ESD protection. EdgeRouters that include a hardware switch-chip are able to place multiple physical ports in the same LAN, similar to how a network switch functions. This allows devices on the same network to communicate with each other through the EdgeRouter without sacrificing any performance. The devices below include a hardware switch-chip:DHCPv6 If your ISP supports IPv6 using DHCPv6-PD, you will need to assign the supplied Prefix length given from the ISP, enable the default IPv6 firewall, and define the LAN interfaces that will need IPv6 connectivity. It is highly recommend to upgrade to the most recent firmware release before following this guide. See the How to Upgrade the EdgeOS Firmware article for more information.

All EdgeRouter model use the same operating system (EdgeOS), but differ in the available hardware feature-set. Some of the differences are the built-in Switch-Chip and the ability to power other devices using Power over Ethernet (PoE). See the section below for more information. NOTE:It is recommended to configure the ISP supplied modem/router in bridge mode. This setting will forward the public IP from the ISP modem/router to the EdgeRouter.

The tech market is flooded with devices, some even vying for the spot of best budget router or specialized features like the best mobile hotspot for gaming. But competition is what keeps brands on their toes, ensuring that they consistently deliver their best. To Buy or Not To Buy?
