Why say that?
I'm a pfSense fanboi but was planning on recommending Ubiquiti kit for those not happy about spending the money to get pfSense capable hardware.
- wtallis 10y agoUbiquiti's wired-only routers tend to be more expensive than a consumer wireless router with the same or better processor that can also be an access point. The EdgeRouter products are highly reliant on relatively inflexible packet processing hardware offloads that make it impossible to do things like use QoS/AQM techniques that are more modern than the CPU design, so their impressive specs won't necessarily translate to competitive real-world performance. (Not that it would matter when you use a BSD-derived router OS that hasn't been keeping up with those advancements.)
