Must be running quite an old fware. These are good but I do reboot every couple of months
Just don't upgrade to 2.x firmware…
I've had no problem with 2.x. Any reason?
Loss of throughput and more unstable compared to 1.x. They're at 2.0.6 now and still having issues :( Good that 2.x is working for you, but if you experience any wierdness, roll back to 1.x
See
https://community.ui.com/questions/Firmware-greater-2-0-4-Pe…(also, if you're happy on 2.x, you may want to go to 2.0.6 asap to adopt the security fixes in this release (https://community.ui.com/releases/EdgeMAX-EdgeRouter-Stable-…))
v2 crashed my router within an hour. Twice.
v1 has been solid for many months.
V2 was a nightmare. Constant dropout. I rolled back to v1 and all too again
Whats the use case for these? This isn't the one that does load balancing to combine more than one data connection is it?
I believe it can.
It's just a good solid standalone router with lots of configuration options backed with a solid GUI but also CLI configuration.
Thanks for the info, didn't seem to be able to find tech info about the device. I was wondering what routing features provided, does it comes with DHCP and/or subletting function?
Many thanks.
I believe so.
If you google search "Edgerouter X" with what you want to do you'll find a heap of information. They are a very popular router and there is plenty of documentation out there on how to configure everything you need in EdgeOS.
The only negative is that this is a low power router. Won't have any issues with routing performance, but if you try and use openvpn etc built in you will hit CPU constraints on a high speed connection.
The GUI I found really spartan when I tried one, I found it pretty hard to work with personally
If anyone buys stick with the latest 1.10.x version apparently the 2.x not stable yet
This or a pfsense box?
This
Depends on the kind of hardware pfsense runs on.
Can you install pfSense onto one of these?
Edit: It appears technically possible but the code doesn't exist.
A bit dumb question but I am curious to know whether we can use it connect with nbn as a wireless router?
It does not have wireless built in, you can connect a wap or another wifi router to it
Add a Ubiquiti access point and you'll have enterprise wifi in your house
If you plan to get ubiquity AP then go with the USG as it integrates nicely to the unified controller portal
Does this work with the pro wap without needing poe injectors
It can be powered via a passive POE connection that can then go to your WAP, but it doesn't have any POE power of its own
Great reliable router, used it for a couple of years to load balance my two FTTN connections and it handled everything perfectly. Excellent QoS and traffic monitoring too.
How did you go getting this set up? Can you get two nbn FTTN connections to the same address? Did you go with the same ISP or 2 different ISPs? Do you get close to double the speed? Any limitations? I'm interested in doing the same, and even sent a few questions to nbnco but they just replied with the link to the technology choice program and completely avoided the question -.-
So apparently the 'message' out there is you can't have 2 connection at one address however this is apparently totally bulldust, we had similar issue with one of our sites, 1 address but we are in with another tenant our provider (not a consumer isp) said it'll be fine even though that's the message out there by nbn, however I still think in the case of fttn you would need two copper lines but this part I don't know.
Friking libs… Created the biggest schemozel in the developed world
..As far as I'm aware this is still completely possible (I cancelled the second connection when Telecube closed down). Wasn't satisfied with speeds due to being around 1000m from the node, so paid $300 to get a new connection installed on the second copper pair on my home's phone line - most houses AFAIK have a spare pair, a legacy of the Telecom days. Was with AussieBB on the first connection and Telecube on the second, with combined speeds of around 90Mbps down (close to double).
The $300 fee went to Telecube when I signed up and asked for a second service at the same address.
I have Netgear 8 port which I bought at lesser price compared to this and is up for last 3 years or more. Any reason these are better compared to other normal brands?
Without knowing exactly what you are comparing it to, the most likely difference is that this is a router, and your Netgear is a switch.
For many of us, we use one of these with a seperate access point, so the configuration is:
INTERNET -> MODEM -> ROUTER -> ACCESSPOINT
By installing one of these and a seperate access point (ubiquiti or even tplink) you have a modular but highly capable network.
The short version is pretty much all of the all-in-one devices are pieces of shit and you should buy two seperate products
From my experience, routers that the ISPs include work fine. I've tried a few different ISPs and each one that has provided a router have worked fine and download speeds havn't been affected. Any reason why you'd recommend this over AIO units?
you obviously dont torrent or handle any intensive traffic. Even tpg's netcomm fail so hard on general browsing over time, it has to be restarted every week.
@[Deactivated]: You obviously havnt done any testing. Even with torrents I don't have issues… I stick with a global 200 connections for torrents (50 max each torrent). Maybe you're pushing beyond required capacities for torrenting…
The grunt you get from the AIO routers these days are much better than in the past. Hopefully you're not living from experience from 10 years ago.
I've tried technicolor, Billion, NetComm, Cisco and all have performed great. Wireless speeds is what differs mostly between the different types but handling internet traffic they have all been fine.
Different ISPs also determine how well the internet traffic is received and sent.@[Deactivated]: Okay… Maybe you need to make a better argument next time or do some more research and testing before commenting on my question.
But for a modem that needs to be restarted every week. You got a shit one. Look at the firmware release notes and see what improvements are out there with firmware changes. Sometimes other countries carry different firmwares and different changes.
And there may be ways of flashing (non TPG) firmware on the NetComm. Also TPG do offer replacements on modems if you have issues with your one.@OnlyFans: Research? I've had 3 netcomms and every single one of them are shit. How many of them do you manage in home environments?
Your list billion and cisco which are each not in the same league.
Would anyone respectable tech compare netcomm with cisco gear in the same sentence?
You are obviously affiliated with netcomm if you think so
@[Deactivated]: You do know cisco make budget cheap stuff right? so yes, you can have products in the same league.
It'll be worth doing some research yourself and there are comparable products in multiple brands.I guess you had a shit netcomm, for you to have 3 bad netcomm's (if it was 3 different models) leads me to think your network isn't managed properly. If it was the same model every time then there could be a chance you had a bad model, which I can agree with. So I wouldn't say NetComm is a fail overall. Possible for a specific model to be bad, but all companies may have a bad model.
I always have over 15 devices connected simultaneously on my network and have not had any issues with technicolor, Billion, NetComm, Cisco AIO wifi routers managing everything. I have yet to try Netgear with NBN but i'm thinking their AIO units will perform just as well. Apart from the WiFi performance differences.
@OnlyFans: I find your definition of AIO quite concerning. Particularly, why would you connect 3 different brands of "AIO" router to 1 internet connection.
If your cisco is acting as the modem/router and the billion/netcomm are wifi APs, it would be more believable.
Own/managing multiple Netcomm/Netgear DSL routers over the decades tells me:
-they are very likely to need resets weekly if not in 3 days
-unreliable connection with lost sync/packet loss
-issues responding to DNS queries when acting as a DNS server
-inability to handle multiple simultaneous connections and get DOS'edI have yet see any single piece of "research" supporting your Netcomm fanboyism.
@[Deactivated]: I tried them all as individual units. They each worked on their own to manage my whole network. Like I said, I've done the testing.
I get it, you NetComms were shit. Now you're saying Netgear is shit too? LOL.
And look your comparing experience over the 'decades' maybe it's worth trying more recent hardware. Technology does improve. Get with the times. You're probably still on wireless G and living in the past.It's stupid to run multiple AIOs together unless there was specific needs and some functions will need to be disabled in each unit to work together.
You have made no useful or valid comment this whole arguement to back any of your statements.
Back to my original question, any reason why you'd recommend this over the AIO units?
@OnlyFans: Review on Netcomm NF12 from TPG
https://www.productreview.com.au/listings/netcomm-nf12Next you will be telling me gigabyte motherboards are as good as asus.
Reputations of a company isnt built overnight.
@[Deactivated]: Alright, if Netcomm is shit, why are they being used by large ISP's such as TPG, Exetel and Aussie broadband? Even ISP's such as 'Mate' is recommending a NetComm if you're deciding to BYO your own modem.
So please tell me more about how shit NetComm is?
Your Gigabyte and Asus comment made me lol. Some motherboards are better than others. Depends which ones you compare. What price range, features, overclocking capabilities. That is why there is comparison reviews out there between certain products between certain companies.
Next you'll mention AMD vs INTEL…
Stop digging a deep hole for yourself here…
@OnlyFans: TPG, Exetel, Aussie
All ISPs offering the lowest price point
Good one mate. Keep buying garbage then. No one give 2 fs about your sht network
@[Deactivated]: Look at all the company prices and rank them. They are not at the lowest of the scale.
Offering a lower price doesn't change the fact there are the top tier companies that have the biggest customer base and offer NetComm or recommend it.
No research has been done.
Make a comparison between all the ISPs that offer 100/40 plans and rank them by price. You'll know they aren't the cheapest out there.
Just stay in your hole mate. It's a big one.
@[Deactivated]: And the ACCC recently reviewed all the top tier companies.
There's a whole document about it. But clearly you don't do any reading or any kind of research.

Please stop spreading misinformations about all home routers do the same thing. They dont
Have one and while initial basic setup is painless getting ipv6 provisioned and working with an NBN provider that offers ipv6 is a nightmare.
Default setup wizard doesn't seem to get ipv6 setup working.
Ipv6 scares me, it wants to tell everything it can to anyone who will listen.
Aaah IP v6 hopefully I'll be totally out of the techy field and in a dumb ass management role by the time this becomes the standard Lolll
Bad luck… (already is in big business).

Does it come with a power supply at this price?
Read the hardware specs, specifically "Power Input", or even the item description
Yes it does. 12v 0.5Amp Power Supply is included.
