Does anyone know if Ubiquiti's edgerouters are any good?
- 8fingerlouie 8y agoThey are. They run a fork of Vyos (https://vyos.io/ https://vyos.io/), and get regular updates.
- throwaway9d0291 8y agoIn my experience, no, they're not. Their wireless gear is great but when it comes to wired, I'd avoid them. There's a serious bug [0] on the ER-X-SFP that's been around for over a year without any serious action from Ubiquiti. Their support when I tried to get an RMA for said issue was utterly abysmal.

- eltoozero 8y agoAgreed, I run MikroTik on the wired side and UniFi for the AP side; have many installs in my charge and this is our default deployment when “more WiFi” is requested.
- NoErx 8y agoI have an EdgeRouter X and I'm searching for a replacement. EdgeRouter X issues: * 3.10 kernel. This is out of LTS support. * Poor IPv6 support. The GUI has practically 0 support and you instead have to learn EdgeOS config, and it's awkward. I'm happy to use EdgeRouter X as a switch, so I'm looking for a SBC that can act as router/firewall and run vanilla Debian.
- NoErx 8y agoScratch that. Upon reading VyOS's docs for the EdgeOS config (which has relatively poorer docs), it has strong advantages: commit/rollback, single config file, and Ansible has an EdgeOS module included by default to coordinate that.
- ac29 8y agoThe latest development release updates the ER-X to kernel 4.4, which is LTS until at least 2022. The base OS is updated to Debian Stretch also. I think that's a pretty good level of support for a $49 device.
