  I'll third them, though I have mixed feelings about the company itself (their decisions have sometimes been a bit unaligned with what I would prefer). Currently using an ER-X with two Unifi APs. Best thing about this level of hardware is uptime. Unlike many consumer/retail routers I've used previously, this thing has months/years of uptime at a time. When something fails on my network, I can almost always assume the router is not involved in the problem. I could see myself going for a OpenSense/PFSense custom build at some point for more power and even more options, but EdgeRouter hardware right now has enough configuration settings for me, but there is one configuration the ER-X doesn't have exactly enough power for- which is QoS. Trying to QoS my 300mbps results in about a 1/3 speed reduction because it's pegging the CPU pretty hard. (QoS causes hardware-offloading to be turned off).

  Stay away from the EdgeMax (EdgeRouter and EdgeSwitch) products. Ubiquiti stopped releasing updates for the EdgeRouter line in June 2021 and for the EdgeSwitch line in September, 2021. They appear to have dropped all development efforts for these products.
