## Description

Ubiquiti Networks networks networks edge router Lite 3-port router

Review: Commercial-grade routing at an affordable price. - This is an extremely powerful router for a small office/home office situation. This router would be sufficient and appropriate for a larger office/branch office situation and can easily support several dozen concurrent users - total overkill for my house and home office - but at the same time absolutely perfect for that application. Think of this router as a miniature commercial router rather than a hardened residential one. In my experience, many aspects of this device are more akin to "real" Cisco-type iron than the type of router you might buy in a consumer electronics store. Don't let the price point fool you - this is a serious piece of computing hardware. With that stated - it's not just plug and play. If you expect it to work just like the consumer routers you're used to, you might be frustrated or disappointed. It takes some configuration - probably an hour so initially, though I could do it much faster now that I've done it once - and some planning about how you want your network to work. Here are some things to consider: * It's a router. It routes packets from one place to another. * It routes packets fast. Really fast. * It's happy to just work with almost everything - VPN, etc just work * You can configure it to work with IPv6 just fine as well * The web interface is nice, but there may be features that you want that can only - or are best - configured from the command line * It features hardware offloading for some types of routing - making it even faster and keeping CPU loads quite low in my application * It features a "configuration wizard" which works well to get your initial configuration up and running Please do think a bit about your needs, because it's important to remember what this unit is not: * It's not a "plug and play" solution - you need to configure it to do what you want * It's not a wireless router. It's not a wireless access point. It's just plain not wireless in any way. Regarding the wireless item above - in my opinion, that's a feature, not a bug. In terms of capability and reliability, I am now a big advocate for separating my routing from my wireless access. Initially, I am using my old wireless router - an ASUS RT-AC66U - as just an access point. As an access point, my old router seems to work well and has not had to be reset, etc for over a month. The Edgerouter has never had to be rebooted since I first got it configured and working. Using my old router as an access point was actually more complicated - and required more configuration and programming - than getting the Edgerouter configured. If you don't already have a wireless access point or solution, I'd strongly recommend looking at the Ubiquiti Unifi access points - you can find the AC-capable units for under $100 in some cases (model dependent) and these are a real step up from consumer-grade hardware. They work well with the Edgerouter and are easily managed. And best of all, they're designed to just provide wireless access with high reliability and low maintenance. I know that my next step will be to retire my old consumer gear and upgrade to one of these. Online support in the Ubiquiti forums and elsewhere is fantastic for this solution. My summary is that this is a great router and great part of a larger network solution. It's powerful and stable enough for a business environment but the price point makes it appropriate for purchase and use in a home environment. I'm delighted with the purchase!
Review: Pro grade gear at consumer prices, easy to set up to for dual-wan - Wow! Rarely am I this impressed. I bought this for one and only one reason: my primary Internet provider has ridiculously low data caps on our plan, and keep forcing us to "upgrade" to higher speeds (so that we can blow through the cap even faster!). So I recently signed up for a secondary, slower connection with no caps, for the things like backups that require lots of data, but don't need the speed. This led me to the question of how I could manage two internet connections coming into the house in an automated way. Lo and behold, searching turned up that there is a whole class of router devices that have a "dual WAN" feature, meaning they can manage two (or more) internet connections at once. I did a lot of research on the various brands, and almost went with a device from a very popular name brand. However, reading the reviews on these "consumer grade" devices was a real turn off: flaky, cheap hardware seemed par for the course, unless you're willing to pay hundreds for something that's more of a "professional" type device. I hate wasting my time on flaky stuff, so I kept searching. I almost ended up paying hundreds more for a top-shelf (in terms of price) device that could do what I wanted. Then in some search I ran across this. The reviews were mostly stellar, though people were warning that this is "not easy" to set up. I have a computer science background, but not in networking. I also hate wasting time on complex configurations. So I was concerned that it could be a big time suck. But given the low cost and good reviews, I took a gamble. I'm so glad that I did! The device arrived - it is compact, clean looking, and sturdy. No cheap plastic. I fired it up, and within just 10 minutes had my first internet connection running through the device to the residence. I then tried it with the second, and it only took another 10 minutes to get that one working. Then I set out to combine them together into a "load balancing" configuration, where internet traffic to/from our place is split between the two connections. Maybe this used to be a pain years ago, but now Ubiquiti has built-in "wizards" that take you through common configurations like this, step by step. I followed the wizard, and within another 15-20 minutes, I had a full "load balanced" configuration running. That was great. Getting to that point was super easy and hassle free. This would be enough for most users, and can be done by wizards alone. The next step was to configure it so that certain traffic (such as backups) only go through one of the connections, but not the one with the data cap. I was concerned that this might be complicated, because it wasn't part of the wizard. However, some searches at their forum revealed a step-by-step post showing how to do this at the command line. While I've done tons of command line stuff, these days I don't like learning whole new command sets unless I have to. So I figured out that I could do everything they described in the posts through a little-described but powerful feature of the GUI: The "Config Tree". Here's a complete GUI to ALL device settings, with at least a bit of guidance in the form of tool tips as to how to set things. Using the instructions provided in the forum posts for the command line, I was able to browse through the Config Tree to find the same settings, and to set those as described. Then I rebooted.... And it was working perfectly! I started a backup and all the traffic was going through the unlimited internet connection. Everything else was still being load-balanced between the two. I really like the gui - especially the network charts and analyses that show how much data is going where. You can even drill down into the specifics of which devices on the network are using what data - and from what sources. A great feature for making sure we don't go over the caps with our one provider. The speed so far has been great. I did one speed test today, and I got more than the full bandwidth of my faster connection coming through. It's a 150mbp/second connection, and according to speediest, it was running at over 160 to my system. The test system in question was connected to the router via a wired cat6 ethernet cable via the switch. Based on several comments in other reviews, I was worried that enabling some more complex configuration features might peg the CPU, but so far, it has remained low - usually below 20%. I haven't seen any signs of glitches; it's been rock solid so far. The only caveat is that this is a router, not a switch. What that means is that if you have multiple devices you want on the same network, you need a separate device with switching to connect them all. I use a professional grade switch I already had, but it would work just fine to use a home wifi router plugged into this, to provide the switching functions to both wired and wireless clients. I have my own wireless (Airport) base station attached to my switch to provide wireless to the mobile devices, and it works without a hitch. For this low price, to have such a positive experience out of the box, this earns my rare five star review. It's pro grade gear at consumer prices.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I just want a reasonable priced, wired gigabit router for a small home network. No wireless devices. Don't want to have to take courses to set it up.**
A: There is a wizard to just automatically set the router up and it is amazing at handling packets. Though each port will be it's own subnet (devices won't be able to see eachother).If you want easy, I recommend: https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-Unifi-Security-Appliance-USG/dp/B00LV8YZLK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1476242701&sr=8-1&keywords=unifi+router

**Q: Will this power an UAP-AC-LR straight out of the box?**
A: Yes I used to power 3 of them

**Q: Is the erlite-3 router strictly command line configuration or is there a web gui?**
A: Yes, it has a GUI, there are Wizards to do the initial setup, etc, although the interface is different from most home routers. The command line is for those who want to tweak settings to the nth degree. Best thing about this router, it has the fastest throughput of any router I have used. At work we have gigabit wired connections, when users are connected to this router, they get download speeds at almost pure gig speeds. I always test their connection speed at www.speedtest.net, often get download speeds of over 800Mbps. Ubiquiti also has a 5 port gigabit router, the EdgeRouter X, but it only gets download speeds of about 500Mbps, still plenty fast. Highly recommend these routers, but as will all routers, make sure you upgrade the firmware before putting online. You can download firmware updates from their website, link in the included manual.

**Q: Does it has built in pptp or ipsec vpn server ?**
A: Yes it does. https://help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us/articles/204959404-EdgeMAX-Set-up-L2TP-over-IPsec-VPN-server

### ⭐⭐⭐ not for people unless you aqre a computer networking expert.
*by M***A on January 11, 2026*

i think the equipment is really good, just complicated to setup it is a really solid piece of equipment but you better know what you are oding. it is complicated to setup. if you are an IT admin, go for it. I'm not and it took me a lot of time with grok to get it working. once setup the router is functioning perfectly. if i had known what i was doping i would probably give it 5 stars.
