@dustinb3403 ERX works well
The only issue I have with the ERX is the lack of a console port and a recovery method like the ERL has.
But for the price, if it was in production (not at home) I just buy two.

@dustinb3403 said in Ubiquiti Security Gateway:
So ERX to replace my existing router, and tie that into the controller I have running as a VM.
NO.
-
@jaredbusch I just recently bought one to replace my Sonicwall so I agree though with no console port it is a downside.

I have recovered more than one ERL thanks to the console port.

@dustinb3403 You don't want a USG. Period. Ever.
It is a gimped ERL.
For personal home use, buy the ERX.
Ok thanks
@jaredbusch said in Ubiquiti Security Gateway:
@dustinb3403 To directly answer the last demo question, no. But if you have a UNiFi Controller, all you have to do it poke around the screens there a bit.
The controller lacks a lot of functionality without the ERX or security Gateway.
On a side note, the controller insists on needing a USG to enable certain functionality, does the ERX fill that requirement?
The only functionality the controller is missing without a USG is Deep Packet Inspection.
-
Ok so ERX to replace my existing router, my standalone controller for my APs, my APs, and possibly a UNMS if I want some kind of central management of the ERX.
Correct?
-
@dustinb3403 yes
-
The ERX comes with a management interface much like the controller, no?
-
@dustinb3403 It has both CLI and Web Based GUI to configure it.

No.
Correct, the management interface in the controller is NOTHING like the GUI on the ER-X. It's the Edge Interface.
-
@brianlittlejohn @JaredBusch @Dashrender so what does the Edge interface look like?
I can't imagine it being so wildly different (outside of the functionality)

So last annoying question (hopefully).. . .
Why does Ubiquiti have so many different products that overlap so much?

Because stupid people buy it. I don't blame them for selling to stupid people that want to give them money.

Simple answer: multiple audiences. Different product lines are geared for different uses.

I am a nice guy... question mark

I never saw the value in the USG. Maybe if you were doing full network automation and copying configs, and then that defeats the purpose of the USG anyway. I have an ERL and an EdgeSwitch Lite at home, along with 2 APs.

What kept you from seeing value in the USG? the price is the only hold back for a small single site SMB. The ER-L and ER-X are just way cheaper.
