Guys, I'm planning to buy EdgeRouter X to replace my existing TP-Link C1200. Something like this:



1. The C1200 currently has to be put inside store room bcoz fibre endpoint & my in-wall LAN points are there, reducing Wifi strength downstairs.
2. Will the above setup work?
3. I want to at least be able to view traffic utilisation & connected devices.
4. Initially interested towards Mikrotik HEX router + Dude server, but tuned off by its Windows-95-feel GUI.
5. I read that EdgeRouter can use Ubiquiti's UNMS, which look similar to Unifi Controller software that I'm very impressed with.
6. Can I use UNMS to monitor my network with just EdgeRouter X?

Thanks.

Usg pro can handle gigabit internet and dpi with breeze. Even the smaller usg can do similarly

it can handle up to 4Gbps.. should not be a problem

DPi and restrictions? u mean? 

Even with dpi, usg can still reach gigabit. Usg pro can still reach higher.

ohh.. dont get confuse bout dpi with speed restriction. this is just practices to control user not to access certain website (social media or stream site, p2p)

an idea how u want use this restriction is,
it will restrict any packet our routing packet that try go to any social media (for example blocking social media) and block it.

can take a look at this : https://prnt.sc/l9ciwf

not affecting performance when there is a lot of traffic.
Im didnt think of if it block by signature or based on IP, if its based on ip/vlan subnet can be configure like this.
if its by signature, its already build in based on category it offered you.

I like how I can customize my Controller dashboard in this new version

[attachmentid=10093046]

Im using USG (non pro) and i able to get download 900+Mbps using Time (DPI ON)

If IPS yes.
Warning: Enabling IDS/IPS will affect the device maximum throughput. USG: 85 Mbps, USG-Pro: 250 Mbps, USG-XG-8: 1 Gbps.

I heard they developing the dark/ night version

pppoe over vlan is available in usg. so u dont need managed switch. =) cheers

check with local distributor. as far as i know the case is solve
