The Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 4 seamlessly blends enterprise-level capabilities with a consumer-friendly price tag, making it a potent router for various networking needs – from individual home use to small business infrastructures. Intricate Unboxing and Initial Setup Impressions: The Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 4 is a versatile router capable of handling multiple tasks efficiently. Its high-speed performance and robust connectivity make it an ideal choice for small businesses where multiple devices often need simultaneous internet access. It has been recognized as one of the best small business routers in the market. All EdgeRouter model use the same operating system (EdgeOS), but differ in the available hardware feature-set. Some of the differences are the built-in Switch-Chip and the ability to power other devices using Power over Ethernet (PoE). See the section below for more information.WARNING: FAILURE TO PROVIDE PROPER VENTILATION MAY CAUSE FIRE HAZARD. KEEP AT LEAST 20 MM OF CLEARANCE NEXT TO THE VENTILATION HOLES FOR ADEQUATE AIRFLOW. As of the v1.9.1 EdgeOS firmware release, all EdgeRouter models support some type of hardware offloading. Please see our Hardware Offloading article for more information.

NOTE:It is recommended to configure the ISP supplied modem/router in bridge mode. This setting will forward the public IP from the ISP modem/router to the EdgeRouter. VLAN It is becoming more common forISPs toprovide FTTH (Fiber to the Home) and require that the Internet be distributed using a VLAN to separate Internet from IPTV and Voice services. Use this option to tag the Internet connection with a VLAN ID. The EdgeRouter 4 has been engineered to provide high-speed, reliable internet. It shines in tasks that demand high internet speeds like streaming and gaming. Its performance makes it an ideal router for users who require consistent, high-speed internet. Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors, the EdgeRouter itself should be housed inside a protective enclosure.

Introduction

Firewall Enabled by default. See the How to Create a WAN Firewall Rule article for more information on the default firewall policies. Connect an Ethernet cable from eth1 on the EdgeRouter to a LAN segment that has an existing DHCP server. Yes, the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 4 offers an intuitive, user-friendly interface that guides users through the setup process, making it straightforward and hassle-free.

There are many different EdgeRouters that support Power over Ethernet (PoE). The PoE standard on most EdgeRouters is 24V Passive PoE, which is available on the following models: EdgeRouters that include a hardware switch-chip are able to place multiple physical ports in the same LAN, similar to how a network switch functions. This allows devices on the same network to communicate with each other through the EdgeRouter without sacrificing any performance. The devices below include a hardware switch-chip:It is highly recommend to upgrade to the most recent firmware release before following this guide. See the How to Upgrade the EdgeOS Firmware article for more information. For information about compatible fiber SFP modules, visit: ubnt.link/SFP_DAC_Compatibility Accessing the EdgeOS Configuration Interface The Power Cord grounds the device; however, you can add optional ESD grounding for enhanced ESD protection. Other EdgeRouters that do not include a switch-chip are able to achieve a similar functionality by the usage of bridged ports. However, interface bridging is done in software and this will affect the performance of the device. See our Hardware Offloadingarticle and Creating a Bridged Interface for more information.
