    Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite Revisited

    Well I had zero network experience. When I say zero I mean zero. I bought a Edge Router Lite, and with the help of various sites (this one included) and their forums (and these forums), I was able to get it to do everything I wanted to ( Installed my own certificate, set up a vpn, got it to...

    Mesh Mashup Redux - NETGEAR's Orbi Checks In

    Orbi has been running fine for me for a long time. Running as APs or as router/satellite no issues at all. Bought them in October.

    Also people should be aware that some switches even though they are new models like the 8-60w do not work with some of the new APs like the HDs. So make sure you look before you buy or you will be wasting some money on restocking fees. The 60w switch is 15w per port and the HDs are max power...

    Ubiquiti AC Pro and AC Lite Access Points Reviewed

    I'm confident enough going from Orbi to unifi AC-HDs is going to offer a better experience. In my apartment probably not, but in a house with cat drops yes. Clearly no one is using a single Orbi and it's the wireless backhaul that makes them great. Wired APSs make that unecessary if you have cat...

    Ubiquiti AC Pro and AC Lite Access Points Reviewed

    I don't think there was any storm, just some overzealous forum people who basically get all huffed over nothing, but you know... internets...people ready to rumble like the outsiders anytime their favorite product or their favorite website isn't mentioned in 100% glowing terms. I think I will...

    I just read that last post out loud. And now there are like 100 women banging on my door trying to jump my bones. Seriously though, glad you got it figured out.

    Me too. I am dead set on the HDs regardless of results though. I just need to get 500 friends so they can all use their phones at once. Seriously though, I know they are over kill for a home, but I am getting a couple anyway.

    @UBNT-Brandon if you need someone to test out some HDs in an environment that is totally not setup in any fashion conducive to said tests, and then never return your HDs back to you. I will be that guy for you. I require 3 of them and a US-16-150W (which I also will not return). I will also not...

    Ubiquiti AC Pro and AC Lite Access Points Reviewed

    Sounds good. I do have the Orbis because I believe in my apartment they were hands down the best option for me at the time. Now however I am moving into a new home with Ethernet drops everywhere and am really not sure if that would be the case versus wired APs. I was hoping the comparison was...

    Ubiquiti AC Pro and AC Lite Access Points Reviewed

    Great review. The comparison to Orbi devices seems odd though since each Unifi AP is cheaper and they have a wired backhaul that kind of puts it in another use category than an Orbi/Satellite. At the very least wouldn't it be more in line with real world usage to test 3 APs with wired...

    Accounts Engine Hiccup Resets OnHub and Google Wifi Products To Default

    I'd bet dollars to donuts only your isp can update that modems firmware you think you have full control of. At least every isp that I have used in the US does it that way.

    Edgerouter X speeds with QoS on? (+VPN/worst case)

    I found when setting up a hex that any mangle rules were disabling acceleration. Maybe the other models work differently? Anyway. I have what I have now, it works perfectly fine, so no need to buy anything else. Only thing left to get is some APs to replace the Orbis when we move in our next...

    Edgerouter X speeds with QoS on? (+VPN/worst case)

    So when you download something that saturates the 300Mbps and are playing a P2P based game at the same time? Yup, we rarely do that. Typical usage is two devices streaming movies/TV from Netflix, Hulu, etc..., one person watching U-verse IPTV, and me playing some MP game which may be server...

    Edgerouter X speeds with QoS on? (+VPN/worst case)

    Not seeing that at all ever, in a home with 3 others. Two or three of which constantly stream or download and me pretty much gaming constantly. Didn't see it using 300 Mbps cable and don't see it on 1gig fiber. That's been my experience, the only issues I ever had with ping spikes was when I...

    Edgerouter X speeds with QoS on? (+VPN/worst case)

    The USG-Pro which is the same hardware as the ERPRO does 250ish Mbps with QoS. The hEXr3 which is the same hardware as the ER-X does about 180ish Mbps with QoS. The ERL does about 60ish Mbps with QoS. That's been my personal experience with using them. That is just the simplest firewall...
