Does Lan Port Router Affect Internet Speed

Plugged it into the the LAN (towards the router) and the other port towards the Ubiquiti bridge (ports are clearly marked) and it worked perfectly. I did add ESD protection with a driven ground between the bridge and this device, but am pretty sure this device stated it also provides that protection. I bought a spare to be safe, but suspect it will not be needed as build quality appears excellent. Thanks for selling a quality product!

As more and more smart devices were being added to my small office network, the ISP provided ZyXel VMG4380 router seemed to be struggling and was having issues with stability. This required a reset to resolve which was inconvenience when miles from the office. The small office didn’t need much so I looked at the TP-Link R600VPN and Ubiquiti ERLite3 as inexpensive replacements that seemed to meet my requirements.  I ran across the  ER-4 and liked that, for a little more money, its upgraded CPU and memory would provide more margin for higher speed connections and make it a bit more future proof.  The router seems like a solid well built unit, nothing flashy just a couple small status lights, functional. The power supply is built in, no external power brick. We have PPPoe on our fibre connection, and once the proper credentials were entered and easy setup run, it was basically plug and play.  It been performing well for the month we’ve had it installed. It runs just warm not hot, and is silent. Seems to be loafing. You do have to go out on the web to Ubiquiti for the user manual, which is detailed ,and there is extensive set up advise on the web (including a couple excellent YouTube videos). It is not any harder to set up than any other router, just a slightly different language. For most the easy setup will get you going. Then add port forwarding rules and static LAN IP assignments in the router’s DHCP server if you need them.  It has two LAN ports which can be independent or bridged. I have a 16 port switch so I just use one LAN port.   Its overkill for the office, but nice to know it can handle more throughput if we eventually choose to upgrade.

This router is great. With the latest firmware there is a wizard that sets it up just like your typical all-in-one home router with a WAN port, 4 switched LAN ports, a stateful firewall that blocks all incoming connections, and a dhcp server for serving IPs to the lan. I run a Unifi UAP-AC-Lite off of the passthrough POE port with great success as well. I have a 100mbit down / 10mbit up cable connection and 1gbit lan devices. The router never leaves single digit cpu usage and my packet loss is zero. The edge router x is also tiny. It's literally the size of two smart phones stacked on top of each-other.

Handles the internet speed and wrks great with our NETGEAR router.

It’s is a stable and durable modem router that helps us have high speed internet.

After replacing my wifi router with this AP the speed of the internet went up significantly. I was amazed.

We have high speed internet and numerous devices...with the provided router from our internet provider we were having issue after issue due to provided router. Once we replaced the old router with the Orbi all problems resolved! Problem solved! No more dropped connections, no more streaming issues, no more slow speeds! GREAT!

I purchased this because my internet provider told me I needed more speed. This router will last a long time and then some.

The netgear nighthawk is a great router that is very effective and efficient with internet speed as well as cybersecurity.

I just purchased a new laptop that doesn’t bring Ethernet port. This solution was fantastic and my internet speed (120Mbs) continues the same
