Ubiquiti Edge Router X questions.
-
So I'm looking to make a major upgrade, but had some questions for some people who know these devices better than I do.
We currently have a Ubiquiti UAP-AC-LITE providing wifi. Will I be able to power both the ER-X and AP with the same power adapter that came with the access point?
Looking to get a better router in place than the glued together VM currently at our other site. The one with two 768k/360k DSL connections (best we can get.) Can I do the setup for the two WAN connections via the web gui? For me it won't be a problem, thinking of future replacement people here.
Also, how's the web gui for configuring QOS rules?
-
I believe there is a wizard for setting up dual WAN. I've not configured any specific QoS via the Web GUI yet, but I can't imagine it would be much of a hassle. Everything I've setup via the web GUI has been very intuitive. I'm not powering my current AP off of the PoE passthrough, but I believe it should work. I'm sure someone will be chiming in soon that has it working in the wild.
-
Dual WAN does have a wizard.
-
Turns out I know someone who just got one. Gonna go take a look this afternoon, and probably get it setup for him.
-
I'll be buying one shortly, so watching this thread.
(And re-reading all the previous ones.)

Yes, you can power the unit with the same PoE injector. The ER-X does a passthrough only. It does not actually provide power to an AP itself. It simply siphons off power from the injector to power itself.
Yes there is a dual WAN wizard.
Yes in the current firmware (1.8.5), you can setup some QoS in the GUI. This was new in 1.8.0.

Just bought one Edge Router POE + one Unifi AP: that's fast! Love the CLI!

Thanks @JaredBusch, always nice to have someone confirm everything will work like you think.

Went and got about halfway through the config for the guy I know who already bought one this afternoon. I like it enough that I'm going to recommend the purchase tomorrow.... they haven't said no yet when I've asked for money, and $50 isn't much for what it does.
Has anyone seen the new 10gbit, 12sfp + 4copper one for $600? Does any other vendor even touch that on 10gig equipment?

That's amazing. And no.

I spotted it somewhere on a spiceworks thread, and lost it since

B+H has them available: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1267265-REG/ubiquiti_networks_es_16_xg_edgeswitch_16_10g.html
Well, I think Ubiquiti just found a way into the switch market.

They've had some really competitive edge switches in the past. This would be a decent trunk or backbone switch... for significantly less then anyone else on the market.

Got one sat at home with a AC Lite and Draytek V130 to be set-up.
Just need some time to play with the setup. (hopefully in a few weeks) -

The EdgeSwitch line is certainly filling out to a full line for the basic options they released with a year ago.

Apparently I figured out my issue with the dual wan traffic shaping. Had to turn on stickiness.... just goes to show you how little I've dealt with networking.
