Closing Thoughts



The Ubiquiti EdgeRouters are first and foremost, extremely fast routers. The previously reviewed EdgeRouter Lite is near the top of our router charts with Total Simultaneous Throughput of 1,306 Mbps and is available for less than $100. The EdgeRouter Pro is rated over 2.5x faster than the EdgeRouter Lite, its performance exceeds our test tool's capability and costs only $399!



I only scratched the surface of the EdgeRouter Pro's capabilities in this review. I successfully tested VPNs, firewall rules, VLANs, dual WAN load-balancing and dynamic DNS following various configuration guides on Ubiquiti's wiki. Clearly, the EdgeRouter Pro offers significantly more features than I could possibly test in a single review.



Ubiquiti bills the EdgeMAX routers as "Advanced Routing Technology for the Masses." Certainly, the EdgeMAX routers are priced for "the Masses," and bring high throughput routing speeds to a very affordable level. However, "the Masses" are more accustomed to GUI-based router configuration and this is where Ubiquiti's OS and documentation come up short. While Ubiquiti has made progress in expanding GUI-based configuration options, you'll still need to use the command line for most anything other than basic setup. This is not a router for novice users!
