3/24/2023 0 Comments Edgerouter filebeatsEdgeOS OverviewĮdgeOS has a fast web-based interface offering easy access to most of the device functionality with just a few clicks of a mouse. ![]() For that reason for this review, the EdgeRouter was updated to the latest v1 version of the firmware. According to release notes the latest v2 firmware has up to 10% lower throughput compared to v1. As of the date of this review according to release notes, v2 firmware still has performance degradation. Note: Early releases of v2 firmware had a number of stability and performance issues. EdgeOS firmware release v1.x.x uses Debian 7 (Wheezy).EdgeOS firmware release v2.x.x uses Debian 9 (Stretch).Ubiquiti provides a choice of 2 major versions: The underlining Linux distribution for EdgeOS is Debian, so users can customize EdgeOS by installing additional packages using Debian repositories. EdgeRouter X ManagementĮdgeOS is the default firmware for EdgeRouter X, which is a full-featured specialized Linux OS, with support for advanced routing protocols, as well as various services like DNS and DHCP server, Firewall, DPI, VPN and QoS. We do really like the ability to use 12V DC input or PoE In to power the device since that gives a lot of flexibility. This is a relatively simple device so the hardware is simple accordingly. Ubiquiti ER-X TopĪt the back, one can see a 12V DC Input, ground connector, and a reset button. These LEDs are not next to the ports themselves which makes them slightly harder to read, especially since they are at the other end of the chassis. While ER-X will work with most of Ubiquiti PoE devices, we encourage users to read ER-X QSG to get a better idea of requirements and limitations with respect to voltage and available power budget.Īt the top of the device, one can find status LEDs for power and Ethernet ports activity. Please note “Passive” PoE is not part of 802.3af or 802.3at standards. The front of the device has space for five (5) Gigabit Ethernet ports including one (1) PoE IN and one (1) PoE OUT. Unlike many players on the consumer market, Ubiquiti went with an all-metal, clean, minimalistic design. ![]() The MediaTek MT7621 SoC in this device is coupled with 256MB of DDR3 RAM and 256MB of NAND storage. Power can be provided either by included DC power adapter (12VDC, 0.5A) or 24V Passive PoE. The device measures 110 x 75 x 22 mm (4.33 x 2.95 x 0.87″), weighs 175 g (6.17 oz) and has a maximum power consumption of 5W. We are starting with this popular lower-cost option. ![]() In our new series on STH, we are going to start with some of the smaller router and firewalls then move up to higher-end devices. It is based on a MediaTek MT7621 SoC containing a 880 MHz MIPS 1004KEc dual-core CPU, an embedded 5-port Gigabit Ethernet switch, and a variety of connectivity options including RGMII, PCIe, USB, SD-XC (not all of these features are present on the ER-X.) This platform is popular on the wireless router market with offerings from most of the major players in the segment, like Netgear, ASUS, TP-Link, D-Link, Buffalo, etc. The Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X or ER-X is one of the most affordable routers/ firewalls available on the market.
