      Watch the video, skip ahead to 30 seconds in to watch "Cysco" sales reps being beat up...

      That was the best commercial I've seen in a long time.

          I'm not sure that I understand what you mean. Less five LANs?

            I think he means "at least"

              If you need more then 5 ports then check out the EdgeRouter or the EdgeRouter Pro.

                    But Ubiquiti will do that no problem.

                      If he means subnets then we would be able to do that with any EdgeRouter and VLANs. Actually you may not even need to do VLANs as this is just routing.

                        Yeah I'm confused. I just can't think of what he means by 5 LAN's unless hes only talking about ports?

                          But even that, Ubiquiti does far more than five.

                            Ignore me. You're probably right with your original post

                                Sorry for my english level.

                                Yes i need 6 ports 1Gb.

                                I like Pfsense because is easy to learn and manage.

                                I see Ubitiqui as a great option but more complicate to install and with less support, and unfortunately i dont have enough time to install it.

                                  Uh... That's seems backwards to me. Ubiquiti has a huge customer base and most of the configuration can be done via a very simple wizard and GUI. You'd be spending almost twice as much on something that is more complicated and slower if you went with pfsense.

                                    You just plug it in. It is a super simple router appliance. Nothing complicated at all. pfSense should not even be talked about here.

                                    Ubiquiti you just update, and a wizard walks you through a setup. Very easy.

                                      You need 6 switch port or 6 routed ports? If you need 6 switch ports, buy an ERL and a $25 8-port Gigabit dumb switch

                                        Or if you really need more control, a Netgear or Ubiquiti smart switch with 12-24 ports would still be half the price and more power than the pfSense.

                                          Really Ubiquiti is doing impressive hardware. Also I like very much Mikrotik, cheap, and very powerful.

                                          Here (Spain), in my company, we used to work with Sonicwall, but we found some issues and sometimes poor customer support and change brand. Client to site and SSL VPN was not free (only included one or two licenses, it depends on model)

                                          I think one of important questions is Sonicwall is an UTM, acts like firewall, router and also security appliance. Acts also like a powerful load balancer. This lasts parts are also very important for me.

                                          Now we work with Cyberoam, very powerful hardware, cheaper than Sonicwall (half the prize), includes reporting (CR25 up, hard disk inside), free SSLVPN, stable, and fantastic support. We are happy with them. Now is part of Sophos company, I hope the brand will continue this good work in future, and no surprises with the new owner, Sophos.
