EdgeRouters and UniFi Security Gateways run the same underlying EdgeOS, but the UniFi controller doesn’t surface all the options you have with an EdgeRouter. After putting in the Edgerouter X, I average about 115 Mb download. The Ubiquiti UniFi Security Gateway (USG) is a small, four port device measuring 135mm x 135mm x 28.3mm. I considered the USG, but I didn't need all that other stuff and the EdgeRouter X is half the price. 19. With them off, it can route at gigabit speed. I've done alot of research, and even gone down the rabbit hole of building my own UTM, and then a buddy of mine turned me on to Ubiquiti. I can tell you Port Forwarding, VLAN, custom firewall rules, DHCP-per-VLAN, DDNS, rate limiting, guest network (with client isolation) / captive portal, all exist in the UniFi Controller UI. UniFi networks are modular — you are able to add and remove any parts as needed. The setup works great. There's a lot of post about the x router it's not just me. New to Ubiquiti aside from some APs I installed at someone's house. (I have a USG -> Netgear GS305 -> CloudKey / UAP AC Pro / Synology NAS and ran the controller on my NAS until deciding I wanted it on an external, separate device). Plenty more features there than the stable release. I'm really looking for some recommendations, as I don't have a ton of time to become an expert on the entire product line. The Cloud Key is just one method one has to run the controller, the others being to load it on a Windows, Linux, or OSX PC (or VM), or run it on a RasPi 2 or 3. Nope -- the UniFi gear uses a piece of software called "UniFi Controller", which is "free" from Ubiquiti ("free" as in you still have to buy hardware in order for the software to be of any use to you). I have to login to the routers UI but it works really well, I'm not using a "cloud key". If you're planning on getting other UniFi gear, the USG makes sense (it all is managed on the same controller, either the CloudKey or loading the software on any PC, Mac, Linux box, some NASes, or a Raspberry Pi). I understand that the security gateway and the router perform the same basic functionality but the former uses the “cloud key” while the latter has its own http interface. What would be a good device to put in front (or behind) my usg that can do full speed ips/ids? This video may help. So I’m contemplating stepping up from terrible consumer grade gear at home and getting into Ubiquiti. I assume there is some additional customizability & control in the ER that is not present in the USG; I have only worked with the USG so I can't give any details on advantages of the ER. Oh man. Any help would be appreciated. USG is x2 the price of the ERX. I understand that the security gateway and the router perform the same basic functionality but the former uses the “cloud key” while the latter has its own http interface.

EdgeRouters do offer DPI (starting with EdgeOS firmware 1.7.0), as does the USG. Hi Oculus. It’s been echoed time after time that this video is antiquated and inaccurate these days. I'm not looking for full UTM capability. My google-foo must be broken today. Hi, So I’m contemplating stepping up from terrible consumer grade gear at home and getting into Ubiquiti. UniFi security gateway vs. edgerouter. It will handle those speeds fine as long as you don't use QoS. Depending on the functionality you are looking for, you'll likely be fine with either hardware. If you want reporting you would want the USG. I use the EdgeRouter X at home. The router definitely has more features. Yeah, my plan is to us the unifi access points (probably just one or two for now). Ok so a while ago I purchased the security gateway for my office and all is fine, unfortunatly with the very limited setup options from the controller I still don't have a clue what its really doing but yeah as of now the routing works fine. I recommend any usg. As far as I understand, ER-X is configured through CLI. ihavent found anything i havent been able to do yet. Can someone post the output of "df -h" and "ps aux" from their USG's shell? You can also do some simple configuration of the UniFi hardware via an Android or iOS app. When I upgraded from UniFi Video 3 to UniFi Protect , I was able to ditch the old Cloud Key because UniFi integrated the NVR with the second-generation Cloud Key. I can’t believe I couldn’t find that video. I've done alot of research, and even gone down the rabbit hole of building my own UTM, and then a buddy of mine turned me on to Ubiquiti. As far as I understand, ER-X is configured through CLI and the USG is configured through the Unifi controller GUI. It really comes down to this: if you have any other UniFi devices or plan to get any in the future, get the USG. I just got into Ubiquiti six months ago. Ubiquiti Unifi Security Enterprise Gateway vs EdgeRouter-X. New to Ubiquiti aside from some APs I installed at someone's house. You manage the USG through the UniFi controller, along with all other UniFi devices. Beyond that, I'm not familiar enough with other differences, as my network needs are simple. Press J to jump to the feed. All, I've recently upgraded to gigapower at my home, and my existing Meraki MX64 can't handle the throughput (it caps out at 250M stateful). The benefit of UniFi in general is that managing any number of devices is nearly as simple as managing an all-in-one wireless router. I've used both and left the Edge line for Unifi and not going back. I just wish the AP's could be entirely managed under UNMS instead of Unifi. Close. While you can use CLI, the EdgeRouters all have a nice management GUI that can be used. Any opinions on buying the cloudkey vs. using a raspberry pi (I happen to have 4 Pi 3s)? Posted by 1 year ago. I went with and edgerouter lite, a 6 port unifi switch w/poe, and a UAP lite. I am trying to decide between the UniFi Security Gateway and the EdgeRouter X SFP (for the PoE) for my home network. I/O includes one dedicated console port and three 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports. From the informative video the hardware specs are similar. Press J to jump to the feed. If you just want a standalone router and plan on an AP from someone else, the EdgeRouter may be the way to go. UniFi is great if you aren't demanding a lot of features and functionality. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. I hoping you guys can shed some light on the differences. The EdgeRouter line does have some functionality exposed in its UI (QoS, for one) that doesn't (currently) exist in the UniFi Controller UI. It's a much more seamless experience. This is an unofficial community-led place to discuss all of Ubiquiti's products, such as the EdgeRouter, UniFi, AirFiber, etc. Thanks for your input. That is not correct. UniFi security gateway vs. edgerouter. Just researching. USG and EdgeRouter compared So lets first start with the specifications and details of both products. Both are true, but there is more to it. The USG (UniFi Security Gateway) and EdgeRouter devices are two product lines that target a similar market – I would say the SOHO and SMB enterprise market (although there are higher-end models that can be used in larger corporate networks) – so these two product series are very often the subject of comparison among professionals and users.. Yes, but keep in mind that IPS/IDS disable hardware offloading and therefore reduce the USG's routing throughput to well under 100 Mbps. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a simple answer about what direction that I should go for an edge device. Does the EdgeRouter X or Lite have similar features to the USG relative to what I'm looking for above? Don't get the edge router x i have one on gigabit FiOS and i can only get 500 up and dl. Are there any other differences to be aware of? I reckon an edgerouter can be flashed into a USG and vice-versa. With my pfsense box i have no problems getting near gigabit speed. Ubiquiti Unifi Security Enterprise Gateway vs EdgeRouter-X. EdgeRouter X (or Lite) vs Unifi Security Gateway All, I've recently upgraded to gigapower at my home, and my existing Meraki MX64 can't handle the throughput (it caps out at 250M stateful). UBNT are no longer providing the Edgeswitch series switches. So, take the video with a grain of salt. Archived. I'm sure I've left some things out, so if you have specific questions, feel free to ask away! If you search on Unifi USG vs EdgeRouter you will find two common answers; the EdgeRouter is difficult to configure and the USG is slower. I'm using an ATT router in bypass for internet. This is an unofficial community-led place to discuss all of Ubiquiti's products, such as the EdgeRouter, UniFi, AirFiber, etc. It's definitely geared more at the prosumer than EdgeMax. I guess, the USG has made headway in features since then. I thought it was one or the other but I saw one setup where someone was using both which confused me. I'm looking to have a dedicated router for my house and have been eyeing the EX-R. My understanding of the difference between the two is that both are similar hardware (other than the PoE switch) and similarly capable. I have, as backup hardware, a USG, UAP-AC-Lite, and a generic 8 port TP-Link switch, *just in case* one of the bits of primary hardware fail. Exactly what I was looking for. The site is low on concrete details as to what the difference is. I will dive in the cli some time later. Sorry to nerco this, but would you recommend the USG even if you're going to use an unmanaged switch? But anyways, Will the USG (the small one) handle that kind of throughput? The ERX is managed through it's own GUI hosted on the device itself, and needs to be managed separately even if you have the UniFi controller for other stuff. The EdgeRouter / EdgeSwitch gear hosts its own web UI. Great little router/firewall. I will say that using the Unifi GUI is wonderful and the feature set is robust enough for what I want to do with my home network (VLAN segmentation, multiple SSIDs, etc.). Thanks stranger. I also use the Unifi software to manage the switch and UAP lite. :), edit : I currently run a USG-PRO-4, UAP-nanoHD, and 24 AT-250 (beta of the US-24-250w). Though the Security Enterprise Gateway caught my eye. For example, I initially had a UniFi Security Gateway (USG) to handle all my routing, paired with a first-generation UniFi Cloud Key (UCK) and a UniFi Network Video Recorder (UVC-NVR).
