Pros: I replaced a cisco 5505 that was showing its age with this and it can more than handle a ton of traffic. I originally bought one to use at work for our guest network and was so impressed I bought one for myself. It has a "cisco-like" command line interface where you can copy /paste commands in to bulk configure it. The webUI is nice, and it has nice traffic tracking features. It is also silent and low power, only about 7 watts. And it has a serial console! Support is also good, there is a large community of users that post on the ubiquity forum and often answer a question within hours.

Cons: The vpn throughput is less than what I'd hope for, but maybe they will fix that in a future release. You can choose from a number of different vpn protocols to uses on it. Other reviews are right, this is not for the faint of heart but the WebUI makes it pretty easy to walk through. Its a good learning experience if you're getting into networking.

Overall Review: Make sure you turn on the offload features - you can only do it via the cli. Without it the throughput was only about 110 mb/sec. set system offload ipsec enable set system offload ipv4 forwarding enable set system offload ipv4 vlan enable set system offload ipv6 forwarding enable set system offload ipv6 vlan enable

Pros: Finally, a real router in the house! Was used to replace a 2nd gen 802.11n Airport Extreme base station as the main router. Hooked up to an Arris 820a Docsis 3.0 cable modem with 200Mbit service. Connections are much more consistent and reliable now. Latency in online games is down and video streaming is much more responsive. No issues registering on my ISP's network or any other tomfoolery with compatibility with any other devices on my network. Traffic anaylsis is a plus, as are the multitude of available features. The latest Wizards from Ubiquiti make getting this up and running for web browsing a relatively smooth experience. Responsible for connecting 20+ devices to the Internet and it does so without issue. UPnP functions well, and also has Port Forwarding and NAT capabilities that will allow you to do whatever it is you might need to access wise. Setup is accessible via ethernet and a web browser via HTTPS, so no funky controller software needed or dependency on other connection types. Most configuration changes DO NOT require a reboot, which is awesome! At the $100 price point you're going to be hard pressed to find something better. This is my first Ubiquiti product and so far I'm quite happy with it.

Cons: Requires an immediate firmware update to become the router you want it to be. QoS features are lacking in the GUI. Setup will be very confusing for anybody coming from a 'normal' home or small office style router. Available documentation is out of date and you'll either A) Need to know how to configure this before installing it, or B) Have another means of accessing the web as you are installing it.

Overall Review: There is a larger, PoE version of this router. If you're installing one of these alongside Ubiquiti's UniFi AP's, you'll want to buy that one instead or pair this with one of their PoE switches. This has enough horsepower to handle 1000Mbps ISP connections, but comes with a learning curve. Enabling this to also act as a switch via bridging the LAN side ethernet ports does eat up some CPU, so if you're using this to create an unsegmented LAN and need both ports for it, expect slightly less performance at peak. Reboot times are LONG, so if it appears to be non-functional after a reset or reboot, just wait another couple of minutes and it will come back up.

Pros: Small footprint. Great performance. Runs cool in an indoor environment.

Cons: The web interface still needs a lot of work.

Overall Review: I posted a previous review mentioning that I purchased this product to use in an SMB environment. I used one to replace an old Snapgear/Cyberguard SG560 at my home office. I maintain 3 persistent IPSEC VPN's to client locations. On the SG560 setting these up was easy because I also used the same routers for two of the client locations. The third location was an XTM 21. The home/office connection is current used by 20-25 devices on a daily basis. So performance is a major issue for me. I did some lab testing of the EdgeMAX for over a week before putting it in to operation as my main router. Firewall rules, DHCP static mappings and the like are all easily configured through the GUI. Unlike some products it does allow you to specify static DHCP entries outside of the specified DHCP range which is nice. Experimenting with the IPSEC VPN's took a while to figure out as I had no experience with this product. Based on examples provided on the web it took a few hours to work out command line usage and manually editing of configuration files. After getting the hang of the CLI and the commands to configure a VPN I was able to setup all three static VPN's plus an L2TP mobile VPN connection for this device pretty easily. The VPN's have been running solid for over a week now. Performance is good, I'm able to max out my net connection through the VPN. Ubiquiti advertises support for a large amount of connections so I thought I would put this too the test. I setup multiple lab computers and had them all downloading every Linux torrent I could find. Even with several computers racking up hundreds of connections each my ping to my uplink as well as to several major sites remained good. I was still able to browse the web and use other services while the downloading systems ran and noticed no slowdowns. I have used many "business class" routers that cannot put up with this kind of abuse. It's one of the reasons I hung on to the Snapgear routers for so long. This is better performance than I manged to get out of a Cisco 2600 series actually. I will likely end replacing all my clients current routers with Ubiquiti EdgeMAX in the near future. Unlimited VPN connection, great throughput and very affordable pricing. Overall I would suggest the EdgeMAX series for both SMB and enthusiast alike.

Pros: It delivers on performance. Ubiquiti's wiki, and community forum are very helpful.

Cons: As mentioned by many others, this is not a typical $100 SOHO router. Most of the ERL3's features are only accessible via the CLI, which is pretty straight forward.

Overall Review: I see this as a product for one of the following: 1. Someone who is looking to learn the intimate details of configuring NAT, Firewall, etc via the command line interface. 2. Network professional that would like to use the ERL3 as a replacement for more expensive solutions.

Pros: Very versatile device. TONS of features that standard home-consumer routers won't provide. We're talking vlans, NAT, creating your own ZONE based firewall, creating L2L tunnels, PPTP/Open VPN server, and much much more that TCP/IP has to offer. OS is based off of 6.3 Vyatta(now acquired by Brocade btw). Other than the features, the specs alone are pretty beefy for routers these days, and for <$100? SOLD. I find this device overall a GREAT starting point for upcoming network engineers or for people who simply enjoy creating an advanced home network. This device is also a nice stepping stone for those who want to learn JunOS(the CLI is similar)

Cons: I've had a few cases where my internet will go in and out but I'm going to safely have to blame TWC on that one for being a BAD ISP(hope they're not reading this)..

Overall Review: amazing price/performance ratio. The perfect road for any IT engineer that's interested in networking or wants to dive into a CCNA.

Pros: - VERY easy to setup using the wizard, plug and play for myself. I set up LAN, WAN and PPPOE with no problem. I have my wireless network (Ubiquiti AP AC-LITE) in one port, and my LAN (Netgear switches) in another port. Very simple to use!

Cons: newegg is forcing me to type something here. I guess this router doesn't cook dinner - so that's a con.

Pros: Sleek design and lots of power in a small box. My internet immediately felt snappier compared to the Comcast box we had doing our routing. With newer firmware setup was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I was up and running in 20 minutes.

Cons: If networking if foreign to you and CLI is scary you should still stay away. If normal routers are like point and shoot cameras then this is like a DSLR. Powerful but complex enough that you may be better off with something simpler.

Overall Review: Ubiquiti has a good community out there. This setup lacks wireless, and a lot of ports. But I got a $25 TPLink switch with 8 ports and 2 WAPs.

Pros: fast. UI is impressive. vendor has provided firmware 3 upgrades since purchased, so they continue to support and upgrade the device functionality. Stable, have not had any problems in the 11 months I have owned the product. very flexible.

Cons: if you want to setup L2PT vpn connections you have to use CLI.

Overall Review: Would recommend for anyone with basic networking skills or above.
