Ubiquiti Networks Edgerouter 4 (ER-4)

Brought to upgrade an Edgerouter 3 Lite which I use for a number of my customers as well as my own network. Also purchased the rack mount kit and an a SFP module so I had access to a 4th network connection. Quality is a good, which is what I have come to expect using Ubiquiti over the last couple of years. Having an internal power supply is a good plus against the ER Lite Does seem a lot faster using the web interface than the ER lite and didn't have any problems setting it up Should be getting a gigabit connection in a few months so will be taxing it a lot more then

Router itself is very good, handles my 1Gbps Hyperoptic connection no problem with NAT + UPnP on IPv4 and prefix delegation on IPv6 (stateless autoconfig on LAN side), plus an IPSec VPN. The web interface is very underwhelming and a lot of functionality is missing from there (especially IPv6 which was surprising) so get ready to learn Ubiquiti’s CLI! I have not tried out UNMS since I figured it was overkill for the one Ubiquiti device that I own :-)

Very good and fast router

Outstanding Router, it can handle everything you throw at it and the processor peeks about 8% with my 350mb broadband on full download, you do need to know about networking to set it up & command line for VPN L2TP - Ipsec but its well worth learning.

Product is working well and as expected absolutely no issues. Customer service 10/10, do recommend

Been setup since I got it and working flawlessly

Perfect router. Very fast and powerful. Highly recommended product. The delivery time was excellent too.

Great router for linking structured network to Starlink

El producto es el que es con la calidad de Ubiquiti. Más bien resaltaría al vendedor. Tuve un pequeño problema con el pedido y su envío, sin embargo lo resolvieron en tiempo record y me llegó tal y como lo esperaba. Las cosas positivas también hay que decirlas.

Im Kundenauftrag beschafft - solide Marke und Qualität, soweit wir das beurteilen können.

Consegna rispettata con Amazon. Dopo essere passato per l'ER-X (ancora in funzione nella mia rete) ho deciso di upgradare all'ER-4 (top di gamma ubiquiti tra i consumer). Si rinuncia alla componente switch (io a cuor leggero avendo un ES-10XP Ubiquiti), ma in compenso si passa ad un quadcore da 1Ghz e la differenza si sente tutta. Iperf3 l'ER-X senza offloading girava sui 280Mb/s, l'ER-4 va oltre i 700Mb/s (test effettuato su switch il tutto cablato in GigabitEthernet). Non ho provato con offloading ipv4/pppoe/ipv6/grep/ecc perché sinceramente è sprecato e si perdono alcune funzionalità (altro motivo per cui sono passato a questo gioiellino). Vabbè, chi sta leggendo questa recensione sa che non è un router plug&play, bisogna smanettarci sopra e soprattutto si deve sapere cosa si sta facendo, diversamente recensirà negativamente l'oggetto. Leggevo qualcuno che scriveva dell'ER-X che non era possibile vedere la lista dei client in modo facile e veloce.... Che tristezza... Compratelo, è ottimo!

I haven't read other reviews, but I'm sure that at least some mention that this is NOT a "4-port" router. One of the RJ45 ports is for a serial console, and the port labeled "ETH3" is a SFP fiber-optic port. I think you CAN get an Ethernet adapter for it separately. Unlike a typical four-port router, which has one WAN (Internet) port and four LAN (local) ports, you typically connect the WAN to the ETH0 port and your LAN to ETH1. By default, the ETH2 port is on a separate subnet - you can "bridge" these so that they are on the same subnet, but Ubiquiti recommends against this and suggests a separate switch. I was unable to get the initial setup to work using the instructions in the QuickStart guide. This has you either connect the ETH0 port to an existing network and connecting to the DHCP-assigned IP address, or connecting to ETH1 and using 192.168.1.1. Neither got a response from the router. The router did get a DHCP address, but then dropped it. I contacted Ubiquiti support and was instead pointed to a community forum post (!) with a different set of instructions (involving configuring a PC with a static address in the 192.168.1.x subnet other than .1 and connecting to ETH1. This worked. The graphical user interface looks nice and it got me most of the way to what I wanted (not complicated). However, for full control you need to use a command line interface that is not well-documented - I found that most of Ubiquiti's "knowledge base" articles omitted key commands and ran you in circles chasing links with, supposedly, more details. Again, the community forum tended to have the best answers. I could not get port forwarding to work without the command line interface. Be aware that if your ISP uses PPPoE, as some fiber providers do, that you will need to specify PPPOE0 instead of ETH0 in rules. If you're intending to run wireless access points, you might be better off with the Unifi Dream Machine Pro, but the EdgeRouter 4 fills my need perfectly. Once I got everything set, it works beautifully and extracts the maximum performance from my gigabit fiber ISP connection. There's lots of visibility into what ports are doing, with optional traffic analysis.

Très bon routeur. Performant. L'interface WEB est peu pratique et ne couvre que 33% des fonctionnalités réelles du produit. Facile à configurer quand on est un habitué de la ligne de commande. MAJ régulière du firmware (EdgeOS) Bonne communauté et pas mal de guides, nécessaire néanmoins d'avoir un très bon bagage unix/linux pour l'utiliser pleinement. Permets d'installer des packages Debian (ne pas faire upgrade!). Performance très correcte en routing et IKEv2/IPsec, un peu léger pour du OpenVPN sur très haut débit
