The Ubiquiti ER-X is supported by OpenWRT. Since you're planning to use OpenWRT in the future, why not run it on your ER-X?
- joshka 4y agoI missed that - thanks! Edit: or maybe not? https://forum.openwrt.org/t/raspberry-pi-4-vs-edgerouter-x/103873/19 https://forum.openwrt.org/t/raspberry-pi-4-vs-edgerouter-x/1... > The bad is that the ER-X CPU speed is decidedly mid-range. If you run SQM to tame bufferbloat, it will top out somewhere between 130-185 Mbps depending on OpenWrt version. It is good for ~20 Mbps running OpenVPN, and ~90 Mbps running a Wireguard VPN. So you are going to outgrow it sooner rather than later, if it is not already too slow for you. I've also noted it's getting pretty expensive to buy, which is strange. But I haven't found many alternatives as small as an ER-X with 5 ports included. So far, it does the job for me. This seems like it might be still a little underpowered for some of my future plans (adblock, 1Gbps symmetric fiber for remote NAS access, etc.) I'll give it a whirl though.
