Ubiquiti Networks Edgerouter 4 (ER-4)

Product Information

The above speed (500 Mbps with QoS enabled) is still impressive and certainly much bigger than regular consumer grade routers. As we have mentioned in the USG review section, the ER-Lite is exactly the same hardware as the USG, so in this paragraph I will discuss the ER-4 only.

When I disable Traffic Control, and redo above tests it is again 300/500 for the wired direct connection. So it doesn’t seem to make any difference. Offloading is used to execute functions of the router using the hardware directly, instead of a process of software functions. The benefit of offloading in EdgeOS is increased performance and throughput by notdepending on the CPU for forwarding decisions.

Optional Offloading Optimizations and Testing

For example, ubnt upgrades Linux kernel in ER-X to align with the higher end models recently. Also pushed MediaTek to release a SDK with 4.x kernel. So by firmware v2 timeframe, all EdgeRouters will be upgraded and aligned on Linux 4.x. Such as these actions are essential upgrades over a product's multiyear lifetime.

You can do this easily by following the Creating Certificates and Keys Guide. Generate everything on your PC or Mac and then take a note of the path to your server folder that is created, we will be using the files here later on.

Edgerouter 4? - OpenWrt Forum Support for Ubiquiti Edgerouter 4? - OpenWrt Forum

Yes, the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 4 offers an intuitive, user-friendly interface that guides users through the setup process, making it straightforward and hassle-free. Other differences between the routers are the amount of interfaces (including SFP/SFP+ slots) and the available resources. The ER-4 for example, has a 4-core 1GHz CPU with 1GB of available RAM, whereas the ER-X has a 2-core 880 MHz CPU with 256MB of available RAM. Note, this is with today's snapshots: ubnt_edgerouter-4-initramfs-kernel.bin fca00c760e7955f6f3d18424100cf18d92e7db6ea9533431cb13d1d83487b813 16286.0 KB Fri Dec 25 00:50:04 2020However, the Web GUI of EdgeRouter is capable to configure almost ALL settings and features of ER, even the advanced settings (unlike the Unifi controller which supports configuration of mostly the basic features of USG but not all advanced settings). Software WARNING: FAILURE TO PROVIDE PROPER VENTILATION MAY CAUSE FIRE HAZARD. KEEP AT LEAST 20 MM OF CLEARANCE NEXT TO THE VENTILATION HOLES FOR ADEQUATE AIRFLOW. Some things I noticed right away, since I’ve only been using this new setup with the USG for a a day now.
