Pros:
fast routing for the price
dashboard to monitor traffic,
wizards for setup
Cons:
Not the easiest to setup
Usually have to update firmware first
documentation
Overall Review: Perfect upgrade for SMB clients that have been using consumer wireless routers for access. Install this and setup wifi on 2nd ethernet port.
Pros: After upgrading to latest firmware, has a setup wizard to configure most common topographies. I configured all cameras on one subnet, put the video server on the shared subnet with internet access. This kept camera video off the home network and prevented cameras from "phoning home" or being accessed remotely
Cons: Really old firmware, needed immediate upgrade to be useful.
Overall Review: Had excellent support community (forum)
Pros: Easy to setup, running well, no trouble at all. I have setup 4 offices with an EdgeRouter 8 and 3 EdgeRouter Lite-3 and all connected by SITE to SITE VPN. Like them.
Cons: No
Overall Review: I recommend this product
Pros: Works great
Cons: None so far
Pros: used as a 3-port router between internal networks it works great. Easy to configure and no problems yet.
Cons: ships with a very old firmware. Need to update to firmware ER-e100.v1.3.0.4605130 first and then update to the latest version.
Pros:
I gave 4 stars because was a pain to figure out and I'm no IT jockey!!! If there was phone support I would rate a solid 5 stars!
*diamond in the rough* Amazing once running, fixed buffer bloat & high pings. Now almost zero jitter under heavy load. No ping spikes, no rubber band snap, no packet drop. Vo-IP phone/progs now function smoothly. Cost under $100! Wanted $400 netgear nighthawk gaming router w/NetdumaOS but wife said no way. Found this option & was glad saved over $300 and no sleeping on couch. ERLite-3 edge router gets job done, webpages open fast, streams videos flawlessly. This router easily can handle most home setups without breaking a sweat, huge step up from any consumer class router. Want to save more? Use old router as wireless access point by disabling DHCP in the lan config settings *NOT WAN* & give the lan setting a static ip not being used by anything else. Run cable from eth2 to the old wireless router lan port. Do not use the wan port as its no longer a gateway you will use it as client/switch. Connect it to lanport and let it grab dynamic ips from the new edge router dhcp. Plenty of help videos on youtube and instructional documentation in pdf to download on edge website.
Cons:
Was major pain in #$% to get working, took 2 days as I worked relentlessly. DNS was not functioning properly and router had trouble finding modem. I had issues getting router to auto dhcp wan internet settings so I had limited connectivity but no internet. I set Eth1 to modem aka internet source and than the eth0 as well as eth2 to operate as lanports with that wizard option. I chose not to bridge ports. I ran eth2 to old router now configured as wireless access point. Minimally you need to have some basic idea of networking and understand basic port forwarding and firewall rulesets or know someone who does that also wont give up easily. You will need to do some reading even if your IT guy and still be patient. but once its working its a charm. With this router you will need to invest time for maintenance and configs.
Most config issues will be the order you do the config and order you plug things in and resetting modem by turning off for 5 minutes than plug back in and restart pc while doing that.
Overall Review:
I would recommend it to anyone that's motivated and has basic understanding of networking and I'm not talking about plugging in cables or plug and play routers. or know someone who has the knowledge.
I would definitely buy it again now that I see the true performance compared to my old consumer router.
I would recommend to umbiquity they at least offer basic pay phone support at 1st config/install for those wanting to try edge products but are not IT savy.
Pros: I never had to reboot this router, ever. It was fast and stable.
Cons: Unfortunately, the GUI went dead after a reboot 7 months after I installed it. And no amount of resetting it helped. According to others who've had this problem, the flash drive inside isn't very durable but they have been able to resurrect their units by installing an older model SanDisk USB 2.0 4GB flash drive with a new image. Supposedly, it's rock solid again after the upgrade. Since my unit is still under warranty I'm going to RMA it instead of breaking open the case. If it dies again, I'll definitely try the hack. (It started to experience minor routing problems about a month before it bricked itself.)
Overall Review: I've had at least two dozen different routers over the last 20 years. This is still my favorite and I look forward to a replacement.
Loading...
Pros: Nice when it works..
Cons: I fixed it...
Randomly stops working a few times a day (no internet traffic, reply to pings, or web UI), usually recovers itself after 5 to 30 minute but sometimes needed to power cycle. Tried updates, new cables, and power adapter but nothing seemed to help. Searched for answers to the problem but never got a clear answer why it did this. So I took it apart (warranty=void) and found the CPU to be rather hot, heat sink seems to be too small. Added an 80mm fan to the outside of the case and its working like it should, no problems at all now, CPU is nice and cool.
I shouldn't have to hack it to make it work (yes I know I could have returned it...).
Also: had it mounted vertically (both ways) and still had problems, ambient temp kept at 75F
Overall Review: Sad that this router has so many bad reviews that may be due to the cost cutting of an undersized heat sink.
