Just bought and setup ER-X. Work perfectly. (even though without TV yet, i can see the traffic coming in from the EdgeOS GUI).

Thanks!

I just bought 1X ER-X and 2XUAP-AC-LITE. Will get some old cisco POE switch soon.

Awesome. Thats cool. Please do the hypptv sooner or later and share yr experience here. =) U guys can post your photos of the setup jere too. It would be nice to see how u guys set it.

You are welcome sir, just an enthusiast helping another. Port forwarding is pretty straight forward(no pun intended). Its exactly how u setup with any decent router. U can easily find it in the router page. As for android android box, i have not seen any need for special configurations. U can always enable upnp or upnp2 if u want auto port assign on everyrhing else. Uap ac lr, all u need to do is enable poe 24v on es-8. Ur gonna use 3 uap lrs? Wow, yr house must be a mansion. =) Btw, may i know your speed subscription bro?

Edgerouter-x has a mediatek processor running at 880mhz single core. Paired with a switch chip. This router is capable of offloading a nated internet up to 800mbit/second.
In the other hand, edgerouter lite has a cavium processor running at 500mhz dual core. All of the ports are connected to the cpu directly, because it lacks a switch chip. So if u have an internet that can provide 2gbit/second, u can actually pull 920mbit/second per port from the other 2 lan. Usually people use this router because they have their own robust l2/l3 switch to pair it with. I hope my expalanation is clear. Cheers

Its not a very good idea to put edgerouter-x in between edgerouter-lite and us-8. May i know why u r trying to set up two routers together? Maybe i can figure something out.
About edgerouter lite being noticable compared to edgerouter-x. Most probably not. As long as u are not breaking the 920-940mbps, it wont make any difference in performance. But in case of pairing it with a couple of switch, it will improve yr lan eg: file transfer or local file streaming. So the choice is yours, in many household application. U wont go wrong with either.
Look at it this way.

If u have more ethernet devices eg: desktop,nas,laptop,tv,streaming box,cctv,a bunch of aps. = Er-l + switch/switches

But if u have something like this eg: smartphones, 1-2 APs, laptop connected to wifi, ipad, wireless tv. = Er-x
Im sure by now u can get the idea.

I think maybe get an er-poe and a dumb 8 port switch. Get a decent ones.

Option A is perfect
Option B only gives 8 usable ports
Option C is a no brainer.
=)

u can set it up either way. a lot of people do that because they want to segment their activity. some even do it for fun. setup different subnet for different places in the house. saperate their cctv is common. i think you should segment subnet separating only cctv vs all other online devices. unless u have voip, u can add another subnet with different vlan.
wired and wireless is not necessarily needed to be separated. what if u want to cast your youtube from yr phone to your tv via chromecast or miracast. yr phone and your tv wont be able to see each other if u want to cast. maybe you want to stream something from your nas to your laptop. that also prevent it to communicate to each other.

erl+ts5poe+lgs108 is not bad. it makes it possible for u to setup hypptv together.

your setup maybe look like this for erl
eth0 = wan
eth1= lan 1
eth2= hypptv

lan 1 can daisy chain both ts5poe and lgs108 with no issue.
ts5poe can accommodate 3 aps and one more lan available to use
lgs108 is clearly open for everything else. =)

Hi Where does one buy this brand in KL?
Many thanks!

Its all based on your own activity and how much people are using it simultiniously. If u have 30mbps and at least 2 ppl are streaming 4k videos at the same time, may a person is gaming online too. Maybe qos is a good idea. But other than that, the router on its own is performing rly well. Eg: 5 ppl max in my house at one time, i stream netflix 4k, another person stream youtube 4k, while another stream netflix on her phone. And the rest use normal youtube and web surfing normally. Never once my 50mbps is having a hiccup. Everything loads without buffer, n never slow down. Then again, this example is for a 50mbps. 30mbps and lower will vary. Non 4k streamer are always happy with 20-30mbps in my experience. Cheers

Yeap i am on erl. Using a 8port smart switch to handle my vlan and lan. One uap ac lite. All can acommodate 10+ wired and wireless.

I was thinkin u were to get erl+ts5poe+lgs108. I hope u understood. U did mentioned a few options, but its your decision 100% to buy which one.
