Only difference is that it caps out at 25 devices, all other functionality is the same.The only difference between Untangle at Home and Untangle Complete is Home is less money and only for non-business use. No feature difference.

This is about as user-friendly as it gets, not sure what your metric is for 'user friendly'. It's pretty much point and click, but you need to know what it is that you want to do. If you have an easier solution, with as much power and granulation, you best better post it here, 'cause I sure never seen one.sounds like a good idea with reasonable cost. shame its not user friendly,there is no way I would have a clue on how to set up. probably end up with something like a big neon sign saying please come and take over every piece of electronics I own- even the non connected stuff
There are plenty barebones one out there (as in ultra small PC's) cheaper than this device. I bought a 4 gigabit port Celeron and dropped in an M.2. hard drive and 8GB of RAM for under $400 - it has never gone above 2-3% utilization, and I have about 230 devices using it.After looking at all the features of Untangle its really deserves a pc build of its own to truly unleash it. Wish there were more Quad core + 1gb ram routers available with better pricing!
It's not for large number of users - the home edition caps out at 25 devices.I think it's pretty impressive that they've put a lot of effort into getting this running on a device like the RT-AC88U - but with all the bells and whistles turned on, performance with a large number of users could be challenging...
Something like the Zotac I mentioned above, or better yet, the QOTOM J1900 boxes (just saw on the Amazon for $200USD) would run Untangle very nicely... they ship barebones, so 4GB RAM and a Small SSD, so in reality, it's probably around $275-$325, and probably want to get a desktop switch (another 50 or so)... but for routing, it would run circles around any BHR...
just download the installer and run in on a VM or some old computer you have.ty for responses, while I have never had need of tech support for any of my computer builds I didn't understand a lot of the terms used let alone what would be appropriate to do or not.
hopefully someone will come up with a 'guide' with step by step advice for it. things like that usually pop up fairly quick, if I don't see something like that within a month ill take a shot at it anyway.
I too would like a review of this installed on the router(I have the ac3100 so same same) to get an idea of it perf impact.

pretty sure I allowed that I had a 'limited skill set' (nicely put) when it comes to this kinda thing, I would say very limited. the whole point of my posts is trying to learn so I can make an informed choice. I have never used the app so my basis for the 'user friendly' part is based from other peoples experience.This is about as user-friendly as it gets, not sure what your metric is for 'user friendly'.

If you think this is 'not user friendly', then I don't think there is anything out there for your limited skill set.

What does the 25 IP's actually mean please ? I have approx 75 IP's behind the firewall but seldom 25 streams through the firewall.
Am I safe, or should I stick to Sophos XG ? I would love untangle because it acts as an OpenVPN-client and I love our privacy but hates double-NAT
Thanks !
Appreciate this very much. A clear answer in one post : we are doomed
Been running Untangle on this very box with 4GB and 120SSD for 9 months now. Dropped the Orbi 3Pack from Costco behind it and I now have a locked down home network with fantastic wireless speed and coverage throughout the house. Had a single router met my wireless needs I would have seriously considered the Asus. Mind you the separates route doubles or triples the implementation cost. Untangle will also run on a VM on a QNAP NAS (of sufficient specs) and you can allocate two dedicated physical ports to the VM along with more than enough cores and ram that it screams right along... but again mixing hardware. The rule still applies ~ Cheaper, Faster, Better - You can only pick two!
which vers of that box are you using?
I am tech literate, but modestly so with networking. I was thinking Untangle at Home to increase the control I have over my network. A friend recommended a Synology router while disabling the WiFi feature. For someone such as me would this be worth the trade-off vs. any extra power Untangle may have?
