The 7 year old modem-router (Billion BiPac 7300N) in my wife's shared art studio was getting buggy, with daily drop-outs, failed connections, no internet all requiring power-cycling, hard resets etc. Since we weren't using the wireless access point feature of the Billion I searched for and found the Edgerouter X. The access points were aleady Ubiquity Unifi APs, so it was nice sticking with the one manufacturer. We decided to covert the Billion into modem-only in full bridge mode. The ER-X was a bit complicated to set up at the start, but once I discovered the Wizards tab, it was a snack! For some strange reason, the more advanced set-up tabs are adjacent to the 'get started' tab, with the 'wizards' tab to the far right! Anyway, setting up with the wizard was a breeze and we were flying in no time. I used the POE injector from one of the Unifi APs to power the ER-X which then provided pass-through POE to the same AP via eth4. The modem line-in went into eth0, leaving eth1-3 for the rest of the LAN. So far the ER-X has been trouble free, serving about twenty different clients, both wired, and wireless via the Unifi APs. The features I need to look into are remote access into the router and I have done some preliminary research into this by mostly looking at Ubiquity's support forums, but I have a way to go. All in all, I find the Ubiquity ER-X a very good option for the SOHO setting where you need to bullet-proof solution with little tinkering, but also want good statistics and feedback, and more configurability than your average consumer grade router will give you. The price speaks for itself, I think!Read full review

Excelent router, has all expected working well. Compatible with older switches. Upgrades your LAN,WAN to 1G wired speed. Use with NBN. Firewal requires manual rule knowledge.

I got an Asus router with WAN failover, but that is a very unstable process, e.g. when rebooting the router it defaults to the 2nd backup ISP and never falls back to the primary.. I use the EdgeRouter now to handle the failover and this is exactly what I needed. It also supports SQM, which is great.

This little thing packs a lot of great features that you would find in a much higher priced router. Looking for something with pro features (eg. SSH, Telnet, logging, VPN, traffic analysis, Command Line etc etc) this is it!!

This, ER-X and the sibling, ER-L, are great value and very competent routers. However, to get the best results, there is a steep learning curve, and some CLI required. This is NOT your typical home router, but boy, is it a router!! And at a great price.

Great little router, comes with the features required to work with NBN FTTC connections for me. Very compact and low wattage so it outputs very little heat for any enclosed data cabinets.
