Hitting the limits of the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter
-
@JaredBusch So what is the solution to hitting the limits?

Change how you use it or but the next size up unit.

I just saw the price of the Infinity lol I realized I need to go down a level
I'm hitting the same issue. I think we have maxed out our Edge Router (it get's insanely hot and utilization is often spiking to 70-90% with the QoS enabled.I also so my 300 Mbps download speed drop to 100-160 Mbps (if I was lucky) and my 20 Mbps upload speed dropped to around 10-12 Mbps with the QoS enabled. I don't think it can handle the number of endpoints, QoS, and packet filtering we have on it. But at my other site, with same router but less people, endpoints etc they are just trucking along just fine. Of course there on a 100-150 Mbps download and 10-15 Mbps upload. But I think when everyone is on with every device, it's handling it fine.

ER-X or another model? They're all limited when doing QoS, so not really a surprise, but the other models all have a little beter cpu.

Which one is considered the next size up?

The ER Pro is the best model.

Well shy of the brand new infinity

The ER-Pro or Infinity do not suffer from the same constraints as the ERL?
How is VPN performance on the ER-Pro & Infinity?

Of course they have the same constraints. But the processors are different, so the maximums will be different.

I discussed nothing about VPN performance.

@jaredbusch VPN performance is better than my SonicWall. It's obviously better than my old linksys too lol. But with a 300 (up to 400) Mbps and 20 (up to 30) Mbps internet, I want as much bandwidth as I can get.

If you want to ask about VPN constraints, there are basically none. You can get near line performance for anything short of 500mbps as long as you have it properly offloaded.

@jaredbusch My apologies, I meant QoS!

"Better than my SonicWall" is the networking world's equivalent of "it out performed my Pinto".

Well then, yes, better QoS performance because better processors.
