According to our router expert
The Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite X is a basic business router with 2 PoE (24V) ports. One to power the router, the other to connect an access point or IP camera with PoE. The 5 Gigabit Ethernet ports are fully configurable separately. The router has the extensive EdgeOS and it's completely configurable. You can view the connection status and the speed of the ports or view the statistics on the dashboard.

I had some problems with the connection between some of my network-connected devices and the router of my telenet cable modem, so I started looking for a router to separate my local network from the cable modem, preferably one without WiFi since I use a separate access point. After some searching on the Coolblue site, I came across the EdgeRouter X. Previous reviews of this put me off a bit because "not easy to configure, difficult user interface". However, I found a video on youtube about configuring this edgerouter and it turned out that it's not that bad... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SianDqAQaR0 So I immediately ordered that router and, as expected, it was delivered the next day by the postman. Thanks to the youtube video and the wizard, the configuration was a piece of cake. There is nothing to complain about the speed of the router. A test with speedtest.net showed that there is no significant speed difference with the internet connection with and without a router. In short, a great device at a very reasonable price!

After years of being despondent by consumer routers that disconnected and failed, I bought this router on advice. This router was delivered with an old firmware version 1.7.xx. If you want to install the router properly and easily, I recommend downloading the latest firmware (now 1.9.xx) from the Ubiquite UBT website before connecting this router. Login to the router and update immediately, because that saves a lot of annoyance.
It is not a router that you just take out of the box and connect Plug and Play. It is desirable to understand how network routing works. It has already been said before performing the firmware update and then use the wizards because then you will come a long way. The real Linux freaks can go wild on the router and set it up to their own taste via ssh.
I am impressed with this router in terms of performance. It is much faster than my consumer TPlink router. In addition, there is a switch on it so that you can connect multiple 1Gbit UTP cables. I also use this router for business VPN connections and now the VPN connection has never failed. It used to be at least twice a day or more.
The device is nice and small and I hung it in the meter cupboard. The device has a metal housing and feels very solid. On the top are the LEDs that show whether the connection is active.
Range has five stars, but of course the device has no range because it has no built-in WiFi. WIFI is achieved by using separate Access Points.

This is an ideal upgrade for people who want a little more from their router than what the average all-in-one box from the supermarket or rented from the ISP has to offer.
It is a Linux server the size of a 5 port switch with routing, firewall, DHCP server, DNS forwarder, VPN, QoS, traffic analysis tools, PoE pass-through and configuration via both a Web front-end and SSH. It is ideal for a business or home office. For the price you shouldn't miss it either. For WiFi, you must provide a separate access point (which you can connect via PoE).
If the above is Chinese for you, you will be able to get started with it, but it will take a little longer before you have explored all the possibilities.
