@scottalanmiller Thanks for the suggestion Scott.

No problem.

The "4" is a really nice unit. Still small, but really powerful.

This really is your only choice right now if buying from UI direct. It's the only router they have available in stock. Is there a link to "Jared's test" ?

Posted somewhere on this forum.

The ERL gets ~60mbps with QoS enabled. I honestly cannot recall what the ER-X did. I thought it was in the 150mbps range, but my memory is not the best thing in the world.

It IS a little faster than the ERL, faster CPU. Less RAM, though, so some features can cause it to struggle.

QoS and other non-offloaded things are all CPU constrained. Unless you load up extra processes on anything in the ER line, you will not typically run into any kind of memory constraint.

I found these guys on Amazon a few months ago looking for something else. I have not used or tried the products but looks like what you need.

It's ok. That's not my favorite by far, but it's what was in the fridge, so it worked.

Did you end up putting in a support ticket? Pretty unfortunate you haven't received a reply yet as to whether you should or not. Hopefully it's fixed soon.

You need to upgrade your ERL to firmware 1.8 to get the full traffic analysis capabilities in the GUI.

Which has been done.

hell, forget windows. Let's look at phones! Android phones rare ever get patched. A hardware firewall in front of them seems very smart!

If you are concerned with security to the point that you are carrying hardware to put in front of your phone, wouldn't you more likely just get an iPhone?

The article implied that iPhones were just as easy to force to his AP as Windows or Android devices.

The point was that they are patched regularly. The carriers can't block it and Apple really annoys people who hold back. Apple takes security seriously in a way that Google cannot because of how they treat the ecosystem and carriers.

Google capitualated, Apple didn't. Apple said - you want our phone, you'll do it our way.

The carriers told Samnsung, LG, HTC, etc (I'm sure Google wasn't even part of it) you want us to carry your phones, you'll do it our way, or we'll find someone who will.

Yup, leaving Apple with a stronger security hand.

@JaredBusch - What do you think of the USG? What size deployments have you seen it in? have you setup VPN between two or more USG's?

I have never used the USG yet.

TP-Link switch is working excellent as well!
