Any recommendation for a gigabit router to connect R550 Aps? This is for basic home use. Essentially need gigabit speed, firewall, DHCP.
I read a lot about Ubiquiti routers. Esp Edge Er-4. Any suggestions for a router appreciated.
I concur on the ER4 for SOHO use as long as you don't need a high throughput VPN. It is one of the few (maybe only) Gb speeds for basic VLAN, NAT, firewall (including zone-based) for under $1000.
Thanks.

Hi Harry
what model? When I looked up online they are all in the several thousands of dollars. This is just for a simple home use ... 🙂
David.
Also, while not ideal, an R550 in unleashed can act as the wan router as well. Just FYI. But of spending a few hundred in APs, better to have a separate router.
Thanks Diego and Kevin.
