Ubiquiti introduces EdgeRouter X
-
As I plan to use this with a Ubiquiti AP while traveling, looks like it might be perfect.

LOL, how did you miss that? That's what the unit is all about! We were all pretty surprised when you went for it.
Well, since I already own the AP, it works out well for me
-
And I realized that it had POE pass thought, but I didn't realize POE was a requirement to power the router

You can use a DC adapter, it's just not included, although some websites say it is. UBNT's site says it isn't.

All the other sellers are showing July/August dates for availability...
Hopefully I really will get mine, the seller said he has the first 50 units off the production line..

So Ubiquiti makes a affordable Enterprise Grade AP and Router, but the switchers are kinda pricey for home use, and I don't need that many ports.
Any suggestions for a affordable new gigabyte switch to go with the router?

Dell PowerConnect 5448/5424 can be picked up pretty cheap used.

Also, must be able to fit in a one bedroom apartment without getting "the look" from the wife

If you are only looking at the EdgeSwitch, then yes, that is because they are PoE.
This is their low end switch

Netgear has low cost, eight port units.

I would never spend a penny on a TP-Link. Worthless garbage. Been saddled with one in Spain and it was hell. Spend the extra $2 to get serious gear.

Ouch, really? I have deployed a bunch of them.
Also, we have a bunch of TrendNET switches here that work well for us. Completely unmanaged of course.

Don't know about TrendNet. But definitely not stuff I would be too likely to look at. What's making you use that kind of stuff?
TP-Link is the super, ultra cheap Chinese stuff sold to third world consumers. I've never seen someone buy it in the US before.

Get over yourself. TP-Link is super common in retail stores in the US. This is not new.

I knew some low end retailers were starting to carry this to lower prices, have never heard of it being purchased though. I tried it once in the US and the equipment didn't work - thankfully it was just a $10 wireless USB adapter and nothing more. The equipment we had in Spain had to be restarted several times a day.
Are you saying you know of people who are buying this? I never said it wasn't in retail stores, just that I've never heard of someone buying it.
-
I did think it was new though. I've only seen TP-Link for about a year.
