      but server side Java is where java supposed to be. It is not like a desktop app requiring java.

        I was looking at the Omada line recently too. I still have not found a direct replacement for the EdgeRouter lineup. Which is a real shame, because they are such great devices. Then I found Omada on a blog somewhere but haven't pulled the trigger on getting a unit to try. I might have to though, as I have been waiting for an EdgeRouter 4 for over a year or more.

          I don't have a good replacement for the EdgeRouter line either.

          The Omada/TP_Link switches and wifi are fine replacements for Ubiquiti gear.

            As @JaredBusch said the Omada line is a good replacement for the Ubiquiti's Uni-Fi line. The controller interface is almost identical. Product is good and can be managed from a controller that is a physical box; or a software controller that runs on Windows or Linux or they have a cloud offering they run. Set up is similar to the adoption process of Ubiquiti. The router solution they have is definintely NOT a replacement for the Edgerouer; more consumer looking that pro looking. I'll continue to play with it as our company's looking to resell this line shortly.
            I did see the Ubiquiti has EdgeRouter 12's in stock but pricing is higher than the 4's

              In reading through the UI forums, specifically this gentlemen's post, it does not look promising.

                UniFi and EdgeMax are completely different things and always have been.

                In the spirit of the exception to prove the rule, the first USG was just a ERL with different firmware/OS. But again, the exception.

                  UniFi gear is generally still available, with no issues.

                  The UniFi Controller is a hot pile of shit compared to how it used to be (IMO), but not a horrible solution.

                  The real failure of the UniFi controller is simply the use case of not sharing the super admin password.

                    Curious about the Omada ER605v2 router as a replacement to my ERL…

                      @JaredBusch It is just amazing that the user control isn't adequate. This so easily COULD be a great product for MSP's, but their failure to develop (and even worse, they are removing features) that allow you to administer user control.

                        @gjacobse I'm setting one up in our lab today and as a basic SMB router with VPN capabilities its OK. Compared to an ER-L I'd probably stick with the EdgeRouter.
