Hi Pandera999, I am keen to move to an edgerouter for my 500mb time fiber connection at home. Currently using an Asus rt-ac68u as router/AP combo device. It's good and stable but I'm curious about ubiquiti now

Thinking of having an edgerouter dedicated to routing ie with NAT and the Asus as my dual band AP. What do you recommend - the erx or erlite? Do quote your prices too if you don't mind. Thanks.

ER-X seems to have high speed processor but lower RAM that ER-Lite. Still not too sure which can really support a 500mbps WAN.

I have gigabit switches, no worries about the limited Ethernet ports on both routers.

I'm already using an Asus RT-AC68U with my 500Mb Time Fibre connection. Home user here with about 12 devices (wireless and wired). Biggest use case is concurrent streaming of HD media - Netflix, iFlix, Youtube, Spotify and web browsing. I don't need VPN server functionality or DMZ and such.

My question is - will the ER-X or ER-Lite be a better NAT router for my home vs. the RT-AC68U? Or am I better off using consumer-grade stuff like Netgear, Linksys, Asus?

So ER-Lite it is then, slower CPU but more RAM and with hardware acceleration too, I believe.

3 ports, i.e. 1 for WAN (PPPOE). Can the remaining 2 ethernet ports be grouped into a LAN?

Need to expand the LAN port with a gigabit switch. No problem. I've managed Fortigate and Netscreen firewalls in my previous job plus used PFSense before, so learning the CLI is not a big issue.

Yeah, if I go for the ER-Lite the plan is to set the AC68U as my dual band wifi access point.

How much does the ER-Lite go for, buddy?

Damn it, missed your post. I placed my ER-X order on 30/4.

Probably cheaper to just sign up a wireless broadband plan and use in the office.

No Maxis, Celcom, Digi wireless coverage?

That's unfortunate. Where are you located, btw?

Bought in Malaysia? Please PM best price.
