Small Office Wireless Router

I bought this AP and a related router to replace an aging consumer grade wireless router which I had. Setting up this AP was a breeze and I'd recommend this to anyone wishing to implement or extend a wireless network in their home or small office. The thing to keep in mind is that this is intended to be mounted on a wall or preferably a ceiling. The router only requires a network cable and you use the included power injector to power the unit. This AP will require some other device to route the traffic from your web provider. Configuration is easy with the Unify controller software installed on your pc. Wait for the AP to power on, load the software on your pc (on the same wired network), and let it look for and provision the AP. You can configure a single combined SSID for 2.4 and 5ghz or separate and configure a guest network if so desired. Once configured, the AP has been running without issue solidly for a few weeks now. I have my PoE injector in my office and plugged into my UPS along with my modem, router, and switch. If the power goes out, all of the wireless and internet access will stay up. Be sure to test all your ethernet cables prior to installing everything. I had multiple issues with the cables I was going to use initially. One cable would only allow a max 100 connection, the other would allow gigabit, but the rj45 connector was able to pull back just enough while connected to cause an intermittent connection. Swapping to higher quality cables solved these issues. I have a 3800 sq ft house in an L shape. This AP is on the second floor in the center of the house. This works well for coverage everywhere and I've even seen coverage in areas where I had little to none previously. I've got it mounted in the ceiling of a hallway next to a smoke detector. It doesn't look too out of place except for the blue glow (which can be turned off). I'd recommend this to anyone that has basic networking and computer knowledge looking for a solid access point.

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.

Perfect! Small enough to be placed on a shelf in a closet. Wireless... Just use your router. You can print from your Smartphone too! Just download the HP app! You won't be disappointed.

Perfect for small office or home. Reliable, easy to set up, wireless operation is effortless.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Canon MAXIFY GX7021 Wireless MegaTank Small Office All-in-One Printer is easy to set up and use. The LCD touch control panel lets me easily customize the settings. The ink was easy to put in each chamber with no mess. It holds a large quantity of ink so it will last a very long time. I like that I don’t have to buy ink cartridges. It is a nice compact size so it doesn’t take up a lot of space on my desk. This printer will scan, fax, copy and print with ease. It is excellent quality and very dependable. The printing is fast. I really like that I can print from my iPhone. It has two paper trays that will hold up to 11”x 17” paper. It also has a document feeder for multi-page scanning. Can also use the feeder for envelopes and card stock. Prints double sided as well. This printer is great for a small office or home that does a high volume of printing. I would definitely recommend this Canon MAXIFY GX7021 Wireless MegaTank Small Office All-in-One Printer.

Great performer for small business home office use. Wireless multi function with desktop controls makes printing and scanning simple.

It has all of the basic features needed for general home office use. Small footprint and wireless access makes it easy to find a place it can live. Scanning documents and copying are easy, and prints come out clean and crisp. We're using it to replace an ancient B/W laser printer, and old inkjet, and a stand-alone scanner.

This Epson Ecotank ET-5150 All-in-One Wireless Inkjet Printer is simply perfect for a home office or small business, and I love its modern convenient design. The set-up was super easy from unboxing to initializing….totally user friendly. I never had one issue, and that is saying a lot! As a small business owner, I found this printer ideal and perfect for high volume use. And there is no warm-up time! I was truly amazed and so pleased by the professional high quality printing and its speed, and I especially loved the way it prints face down, allowing for greater for privacy. Plus, all of the prints were dry. I love all the features and can’t rave enough about this printer! And the EcoTanks allows for much less waste than cartridges, not to mention having to constantly buying the cartridges. Another great factor is that Epson offers this model for small businesses or even a home office in a compact design that doesn’t take up a lot of space. This machine is a total win-win, and I highly recommend it. It’s a great printer! This is a review for the Epson EcoTank Pro ET-5150 Wireless Printer that I received free of charge to do a beta test and review.

Picked up this little unit to add wireless access to a small office that we added to our network. They previously had their own internet connection which is being removed and we never figured in WiFi to the equation. Cost effective solution, very reasonable price for enterprise hardware, simple setup, AC speed, and an easy download for controller software. I will certainly consider replacing my older Cisco's with something else in this family if this one proves reliable.

Fast Router. Feels like a quality made product, more like an industrial or enterprise product feel. I have my SB8200 cable modem on eth0, home office on eth1, and Linksys mesh network on eth2. It took me about 30 mins to setup being new to this type of router. Used basic wizard to setup. Made sure NAT was enabled. Firewall is enabled. I had to reset cable modem to get things going. I used various videos on you tube for setup help. Router CPU and RAM barely get used during testing of several 4K Video Streams, ip phone calls, file transfers, and speed tests running at the same time. My COX gigablast connection runs at full speed most of the time. I still need to do some real throughput testing, machine to machine on local network. I use Airflow and VLC to cast 4K content from home office to my living room entertainment center. I definitely noticed a time difference. It simply takes less time for actions to engage and finish. I can tell it has a better brain. Time will tell with reliability but I suspect it will be my router for a long time. So far, I'm happy with its performance.
