Change Network Security Key Linksys Wireless Router

We use this product to hold up the household network router and the wireless security system. With the recent earthquakes in California that could be felt in Las Vegas, we were glad to have the ability to know that our security system would be working even if the utility power was interrupted. This is a great product that is produced by a great company.

I changed over my home network from a Linksys wrt3200 ACM router and have everything running thru my Ubiquiti network. I truly enjoy all the statistical data that's provided to monitor your network. I feel everything was easy to setup and configure. I have also experience a speed upgrade on my network.

Oh, I like this router.  I like it a lot.  It is tiny.  It is probably a quarter of the size of the consumer router from Cisco/Linksys, prior to the Belkin acquisition of Linksys, that it replaced.  It is also a managed switch so it is much more feature packed.  It can handle multiple VLANs, VPN, Firewall rules, NAT rules with DMZ roles, and the list goes on.    Here is the negative: It is a managed router with an interface designed for professional network engineers.  I have worked in IT professionally for nearly 25 years and I am extremely grateful that Ubiquiti included the WAN+2LAN2 Wizard as part of their management software.  I was reading through the software manual to set the router up and I am thinking, I see how to configure DHCP, I see how to configure internal routes, now how do I set this up to use DHCP on one of the network ports that I plug in to the cable modem and set up that route to the private network served by this routers DHCP server through NAT?  It turns out the afore mentioned wizard sets up that exact configuration which can then be easily tweaked once all the parts are in place.  And that wizard matters because unlike a consumer router, there is not a dedicated jack to plug in to your modem; any of the five jacks can be configured in that role or any other role.   Basically, this little guy can make your network as intricate as you can conceive with five network ports.  Even with the wizard it is more involved than setting up a consumer router, but a little reading of the manual for individuals not familiar with the terms being used and it should not be much more difficult.  As a final note, the manual can be downloaded from the manufacturers website and if it looks overwhelming then this probably is not the product for you.

Replaced a 6 year old linksys wireless router with this unit. My first time with a mesh system. Setup was very easy. All devices connected quickly. Internet throughput is so much better with this unit. I am using Verizon 5G home internet with this router. Getting nearly 300 mbps download consistently. I get a strong wifi signal all over my house (3300 sq ft) and outside. I am very happy with this unit.

best router i have ever had,my linksys router could never give me the speed this router does

I first heard about the ER-X on the Security Now podcast and then after purchasing it, heard a few more people talk about it on other infosec podcasts.� It was easy to setup, and I like the UI quite a bit.� I did have to look online and in the manual to determine how to accomplish a couple different tasks.� My only desire, and this is no fault of Ubiquiti, is that I would have purchased the 8 port router.� 5 is not enough for my home network.� I am not a power user per se but I did need to setup DCHP reservations and do some basic monitoring of network traffic both of which were easy to do.� I would definitely recommend this router to anyone looking for something more robust than your standard big box store router.

This is a great router. It connects quickly, has great security features and is very customizable to your needs. Change the RGB lighting, edit the look and name of your devices, and has great wifi range to keep everything connected.

Wanted a basic router to upgrade my wireless network..Simple to set up and works great..

I needed to connect an outdoor wireless security camera to Wifi but the signal on the main router wasn't strong enough to penetrate a thick masonry wall. The TP-link solved this problem. I set it up inside at the wall needing signal penetration but in line with the router. It worked perfectly - having a booster closer to the camera did the trick.

I use this product to support a home video security system. I have 5 wireless G videocameras streaming live video from throughout my home. This is a budget setup and this router fit the bill perfectly. The router is constantly running at near wireless capacity as far as throughput. I use it on WPA2 b/g/n without issues. I gave it 5 stars because considering the cost and the benefits, I believe it is 5 stars. If this cost more, it would be 3 stars.
