Hi, I am having intermittent issues with my TPlink Maxis router. From what have found after weeks of monitoring, the router will hang for some 1-2 minutes in a day and I will be experiencing internet disruption.
I need to replace this shitty TPlink router with something better.
I have searched and found few ubiquiti router options and I am not sure if this will work, please help me on this.
My Requirements:
- Package with maxis 500Mbps Download 100 Mbps Upload.
- For wifi, I am using the airties mesh provided by maxis, so I dont need a dream machine.
- I need a stable internet without disruption(I mean not router hang), other issues if with ISP it will be sort out seperately.
- Ports required: 2 LAN connections to upstairs and 1 LAN port for the IPTV.
Few Options i have found:
A) EdgeRouter™ X
B) EdgeRouter™ 4 - from this model onward, it seems to be over 1k, I am not sure if I need to go to this?
C) EdgeRouter™ 6
Kindly help.
Btw, I have tested and tried with my old Mikrotik 750GL(old old model used in unifi) and i am able to get maximum 150Mbps Download and 94Mbps Upload.

QUOTE(wanttotree @ Oct 29 2020, 01:39 PM) I would not recommend er4 and er6 unless you have a lot bigger user base, 200 upwards clients for example. Even er-x is already overkill for many home users. Trust me that includes myself. In this case er-x is perfect for you. Er-x can do 1gbit internet connection and not break a sweat. From my experience using er-lite for over 4 years. The router never need to reboot at all. 100% no hangs since i bought it in 2016. Same thing with most of the forumers in this thread that i help since i post this tutorial (almost 70-80% own er-x). The only time the router restart is because of electricity trip or lost and when i do a firmware update every year. Cool, thanks for your help. I will go for er-x. And while researching ubiquiti, I got introduced to usg and cloud key. Do you use any or your have any references in forum which i may refer to. |

thanks for the tip, got it enabled (https://help.ui.com/hc/en-us/articles/115006567467-EdgeRouter-Hardware-Offloading) and set MTU to 1452 then only it works. if MTU1492, i can only get 120Mbps after setting the hardware offload.
