Should've bought this router sooner then.

I have had this exact setup since watching this video about 6 months ago. It has been perfect. No lag in gaming and a trouble free up time on my home network.

Not sure if it's been mentioned but if you're running the UniFi Controller with the USG Pro (I already owned this device); While accessing the controller, you can click "Devices", select your USG-PRO to open the properties panel, click the "Configuration" tab, expand WAN1, and then you will find the Smart Queue check box at the bottom. Checking it will then allow you to enter your Up/Down speeds.

One of the best tips ever! I just connected the Edge Router to my "Drei Neo" modem and only set the QoS up. I changed nothing in the modem settings, you can even let the DHCP of the modem on, the Edge Router X knows that it`s a separate network then and has a own DHCP for the Ports 1-4. I went from B,D,A to A+,A+,A+!

You Sir deserve a medal, thank you for your time and knowledge, I just want to say that people like you that share their expertise in online communities make the internet world a little bit better, thanks again, and keep it up!

This is a great video. I actually just purchased the EdgeRouter X and the Unifi AP-AC Lite and was looking for videos on how to set up for when I get fiber connected next week, and this explains everything perfectly. Can't believe how professional this product suite is at such a reasonable price, much cheaper than those all in one gaming wireless MIMO routers with antenna's all sticking out the wazoo and seems it may even perform better than this stuff at half the cost. Wasn't aware of such a thing as Buffer bloat with me being a casual gamer. But you learn something new every day.

youtube recently suggested your video.. I've been running that same equipment since mid-2016 and it's been the best move i ever made. cheers

Ubiquiti SHOULD be paying you for this. By far the most clear instructions for setting up an edge router and access point. Thank you so much for this. Been having massive lag spikes on Citrix RDP.

Lifesaver man. I’ve been watching alot of utube over the years and ur chanels top notch. Good luck with future work.

I had the EdgeRouter-X for around 8-9 months until I realised it was causing its own problems. UDP packets were not being processed in order which meant packet loss occurred and rubber banding showed its face in gaming. An easy way to replicate if your unit is affected is by using MTR (opensource trace route app) run it and you will see 8-10% packet loss on your default gateway IP. The EdgeRouter Lite is full of problems with UDP processing, the EdgeRouter-X is not without problems either. I moved back to a custom pfSense router shortly after finding out it was the EdgeRouter-X causing my rubber banding in rocket league etc. @Battle(non)sense

I like the idea of a modular router setup with the wifi being in a separate module. If you want to improve either the wired or wifi section you don't have to buy an entire new router that way

Just got my new connection and was very pleasantly surprised. Using the Router my ISP provided (Speedport Smart on a VDSL100 line from Telekom) and had practically no bufferbloat! The DSLReports test gave me a rating of "A". I wasn't looking forward to having to install an additional device to get a rock stable connection at all times. So for anyone in Germany eyeing a setup like mine: Rejoice, no additional hardware needed!

Wow! Ich hab meinen 4 Jahre alten Linksys Router nach deinem Video mit der UBNT Hardware ersetzt und bin begeistert! Habe jetzt ein viel stabileren Ping und KZread schauen neben einem größeren Download ist jetzt auch überhaupt kein Problem mehr. Sogar die WLAN Verbindung ist jetzt überall wesentlich stabiler.

Best video I have seen about this topic in terms of how simple I is to understand and great visual aids.

Finally got mine, but have been recommending this video for years to friends.

amazing work on this tutorial. really clear, good explanations and speed.

Great video. I am so thankful for it as I am searching the perfect setup for myself since a couple of years and I think I finally found it. I have a Fiber connection with 1Gig Up/Down and couldn’t use my preferred way to go with OpenWRT based devices as these always reduced the speed to max. 400 MBit just because OpenWRT and all other Third party firmwares were not able to handle 1Gig Internet speed. Now I will just connect all rooms with gaming devices to the edge router directly and the unifi access point in the middle of my home to provide the maximum WiFi performance to phones and laptops.

Sir... I sincerely applaud you! I live in The Netherlands and have the luxury of a very high quality 1000Mb/1000Mb fiber connection. The hardware they supplied did the job well but with a huge bufferbloat problem "D". They will let you use your own hardware but cannot provide assistance with configuration. They give the basic input like: Use DHCP and VLAN ID xx etc. ...ER X (second hand) is so cheap these days that I couldn't loose anything so I gave it a shot. A factory reset and plug it in --> firmware update --> wizard (this is a joke so easy for a non consumer router). Testing is and around 300Mb up and down with a bufferbloat "C". Followed your step for the QoS with 150Mb cap on both up and down. and testing is 150Mb up and down with bufferbloat ''A+". ...Went a step further to see if this device is bottlenecking my max. ISP signal. Offloading enabled gave me 930Mb up or down. that is the same with my old hardware. I do understand that this max. speed can only be either downloading or uploading. But for @home use there is almost nothing that uses high speeds in both directions at the same time. This router is still the best option to go for in mid 2019! Even for high fiber customers. The QoS is the real king for gaming and is doesn't matter if you can't use you max download. Gaming can be done on a 20Mb connection. It's al about the quality of that one specific connection. You were speaking of that a moderate connection would not always be the issue for bad online gaming experience. I would love to see you make a in depth video where you explain that more. I would love to learn more about that. Thanks again!

I know this video is quite old but the last 6 months ive been using edgerouter x as my router/firewall and i have to say...THANK YOU sir for this video...thanks to you i can now enjoy my games even with all my family online.

As a Ubiquiti installer in London where we have big businesses with bad internet connection, I am thankful to you :D

"But i'm not married!" "You are now, to your games!" :) .

THANKS SO MUCH. I’ve been having issues with a game I’ve been playing called iRacing. I have a Netgear Router, and for some reason only Netgear’s firewall drops the packets from the game. This solved my problem.

Hey man great video. Have this exact setup point for 2 years or so. Works great. But one thing about your setup is bothering me? Why dont you run cable modem into LAN of the POE injector then POE to eth0 (POE IN) and eth04 (POE OUT) -> access point. Then the POE injector runs the whole thing. (router + access point) - remember to enable poe on eth04 in actions in the dashboard.

MANY MANY THANKS!!!! I bought it and replaced even my ISP modem and SMQ works perfect!!! This was my biggest frustration for over 10 years CoD! My internet speed is 200/200 but to get the perfect buffer bloat I had to put in 100/100 for speeds otherwise the speeds are to high for the router to work perfectly. I tested it and it plays so sick and smooth i just still can't believe it. i do have to mention i put my Netgear XR500 behind it for the Netduma software to be sure to play on close servers. When i perfectly have setup and done with more testing en setting up I will look on patreon to sponsor a little bit just as an appretiation for so much frustration that NOOOOO BIG KZreadR show how come they have great internet and only show the gameplay.

By far the best video - especially when you have the same devices - THY

Hey Chris. If you have both these devices, you can use the poe injector that comes with the WAP to power both the router and the WAP. Put the ethernet cable coming from the modem into the LAN port of the injector and the put the ethernet cable coming from eth0 (poe in) on the router into the POE port of the injector. Next put a ethernet cable into eth4 (poe out) on the router and put the other end into the WAP, now enable POE passthrough on eth4. Now when you power on the poe injector will will power both the router and WAP.

Great videos, extremely informative!! Instant subscriber. Well done sir

Thank you for all the videos you do, greatly appreciated! In this video you don't mention to hardware offload NAT. I found it elsewhere and in testing it did make quite a different in throughput for me. Any reason why not? You are very thorough and I want to make sure I haven't enabled something that might be a detriment to gaming. The command I used was >set system offload hwnat enable

Anthony Defillippis is it good for gaming?

Great explanation. Bufferbloat and ping spikes are gone now. Have the newest firmware for the Edgerouter X v2.0.6 and the overall internet speed only fell from 860 mbps to 480 mbps downstream - not too bad a penalty for having an A+ gameplay expiriance for the boys.

I was using the Asus GT-AC5300 (total overpriced junk by the way). I would get terrible spikes. Watched this video and went out right away and bought this stuff and it's a world of difference. I'm stuck on a 20Mbps/1Mbps connection and struggle to play games as well as run everything in the house. Thanks so much for making this video as I can finally game online.

Thanks a lot man, this guide really helped. Do you have any advice on MTU and MSS clamping settings?

Highly recommend you enable bandsteering in the AP to “Prefer 5G”

@GeorgeWPush

Where can I find that setting?

One config some should be aware of is this router is PoE passthrough. So best to connect modem > PoE injector > eth0 > eth4 > ac-lite. This way you only need to plug in the PoE injector which will power the router and AP.

If you buy the correct uprated PSU. You can output 24v passive and power the AP directly.

i know absolutely nothing about setting up these kinds of devices, it took me a lot of time and pain to figure out how to set up the edgerouter x to work correctly with my att modem so that i could take advantage of this feature. it works perfectly once it's set up though, like night and day

thanks to chris, my wife and I will enjoy a wonderful christmas holiday. we've decided to stay together! thank you chris!!!

I've been using this router for 7 months already, it's awesome even for my shit internet, i have 2 connections (10 and 8 mbps down) in balanced mode. Even when my family starts watching netflix/youtube i can maintain my ping below 80 in overwatch, (though, i have to set the qos for half of my bandwith, but it's well worth it) can't recommend this enough.

This was nicely done and complete from router to access point. Thorough, great setup...Awesome! Can you say WoW more often? ...no reason! :)

Thanks so much for this video - just pulled the trigger on getting one of these and will follow the steps herein. Was getting limited to 10/3 speeds on a 25/25 line, and dealing with lots of hiccups on my ISP provided router (is it just me or do they really skimp on those, if the router cant even manage the speeds you're paying the ISP for, then why do they bother giving a free router?). Looking forward to giving it a try!

With OpenWRT it's a piece of cake. :D Edit: Great Video btw thx! :)

Additional tip: There's a script for hardware offloading which isn't enabled by default. Can be found in beginners guide.

Absolutely agree with Battle(non)sense with his findings. I have seen other users have to really limit their bandwidth to get reasonable BufferBloat results on the NetDuma and other devices. With the EdgeRouter Lite I don't lose my performance. However I would suggest the EdgeRouter Lite over the X. Yes it is a little more, I have both, but there is a clear performance difference between the 2. I would even take the Lite over the USG. I do have an entire Unifi setup, USG Pros, switches and WAPs at my workplace. I do not get paid nor do I have any affiliation with Ubiquiti but I have not had any issues. I really like the administration of all 3 of my networks being in 1 location! My ISP package is 300Mbps X 20Mbps but without any settings I will see 350Mbps X 28Mbps. I have my own modem (Netgear CM600) and have my EdgeRouter Lite, no ISP equipment at all. I have 2 PS4s and a PS3 that I would like open to the internet so less administration for me. This is a sample on commands to configure for multiple Xboxs on a single Network. I use the GUI for DHCP reservations, this user didn't. For multiple Xboxs you need an extra rule to block port 3074.

Hi Chris. Thanks so much for this vid - excellent as always. I have only just gotten around to getting an ER-X. Fixes the bufferbloat great, BUT I still find if I use Netflix in Chrome that there are regular burst downloads (about 6MB/s every few seconds) that double my latency in BF1. Would love any ideas you might have!

Holy shit. Went from a triple D to a A+. I live with three people and one child and everyone is always using the internet. So as you can imagine is can become incredibly infuriating playing any online games. Got the E-X and turned my old router into an access point, I'm on a hard line to the E-X. ill eventually replace that with a decent one from ubnt as well. Iv always had lag spikes and rubber banding and this solution cleared up this issue. Thank you.

If you're using the POE adapter to power the ERX, you don't need the wall wart and you can also power the AP AC LITE with the POE out port, if you enable POE passthrough on the main page in the interface settings.

Yes, but I advice against that as a failure of the PoE brick will then not only take down your AP but also your router. :) I also want to add that the PoE brick has barely enough power for the ERX and the AP AC Lite.

You can just any device with sqm or qos. In any case I can't use those devices due to low processing power of those SOCs. Right now I'm using Xeon processors to manage my 1gbps connection. I also use specialized rules based on deep packet inspection to speedup the real-time traffic through the firewall.

Chris, great video as usual. I have an ER-X and I get ~150 Mbps down / 12 Mbps up with Smart Queue turned on. Without it I get 240 Mbps down / 12 Mbps up. I know it may vary from user to user, but just wanted to put that out there for anyone considering the ER-X. My PC is connected directly to the ER-X. For me, the loss of ~ 90 Mbps per second downstream is well worth the advantages of Smart Queue.

@BattleNonSense

Yeah, that is the CPU of the ERX becoming the bottleneck and limiting your max bandwidth. With 240 down 12 up you could try and only enable QoS in the upstream direction and see if you even need QoS on the downstream when you get 240Mbps.

So helpfull. Thanks a lot man !

Does using a network switch change any of this setup ? I will be using a 24 port network switch. going from the EdgeRouter to the network switch ???? please help.

A better wifi coverage device is a Mikrotik, setup as a dumb switch . Create a VirtualWifi AP on the Mikrotik and plug it into the ER-X. It will function as any other access point. Config the wifi Tx / Rx / dbi / security etc, accordingly on the mikrotik. You can also make a guest bridge for guest wifi access.

My buffer bloat is D, any help? Every time I stream it tanks, even at 4mbs even though I have 10 up

Probably the most clear guide to setting up an erx. Too bad I bought mine before this video came out :(

Hi Chris, thanks for posting this very informative video. Do you happen to know how to configure the Fritzbox 6591 (no bridge mode available) together with the ER-X and the Unifi Access Point?

If you have a access point that use passive 24V PoE then you can use the eth4 port as a PoE passthrough. So you don't need the PoE injector.

Yes, but, be careful not all devices will work with this approach and you could actually damage your AP.

I finally got around to getting a U6-Pro AP to replace the router I have plugged into the ER4 for wifi and it was honestly a nightmare. Spent hours troubleshooting but could not get the controller software to detect the AP for adoption. Maybe I just had a bad unit but it was just too much of a mess to deal with.

What's my WAN interface when I have a dual WAN (load balanced) setup? I see options for "ifb_eth1" and "imq0" that I have no idea what they are.

I have a adsl + 4g router and i cant make the edgerouter to work. My line is a combination of 7Mbps/1Mbps from adsl and 30Mbps/5Mbps from 4g. Should i buy something different?

So if I want LAN and WIFI do I have to buy both products the Edge X and Unifi UAP and connect them somehow?

So by using that router and access point you can monitor the bandwidth on each wireless device connected to the access point along monitor the ip and what's connected through wired?

I could kiss you right in the mouth. Been having massive ping issues the past 48 hours (Around when I installed google filestream) I have an edgerouter lite and enabling SQM took my bloat buffer from 180ms down and 460ms up to 26ms down and 21 up. It did however drop my download from 70Mb/s to 52Mb/s is that a result of the edgerouter lites cpu being a bit too weak to handle both up and down SQL at those speeds? Any tweaking I could do to improve it or should I just look to pick up an edgerouter X in the future?

Cross Coast Gaming the reason why it decreases speed is because the SQM stashes bandwith for the games/VOIP you are using. If you want to increase the bandwith, go to smart QOS setting. change the download setting higher. but you havd to be careful if it is too high since that may steal the "stashed", protected bandwith you need for smooth gaming

That's not true, at all. The Lite is actually more powerful and capable than the X, despite the name. The Lite can do full gigabit internet, the X can't come close. The reason it's happening is because the way to avoid bufferbloat is to not allow the buffers to be used as much. The only way to do that is to slow down the traffic potential that's moving through the router, so it will artificially lower your speeds to prevent the buffer from being over-utilized. You can up the QOS a bit to get more, but the closer you come to your speed caps the more bufferbloat you'll experience.

A tip, when you change ISP, especially if your new connection is faster, don't forget to alter the QOS. I was wondering why my upload wasn't any quicker until I remembered QOS!

hi, i have bufferbloat problem and im willing to buy an edgerouterx for solve it but the problem is that i have a wisp internet connection (a wimax wireless isp) with very variables download and upload speeds (in the morning 30/3 mbits, in the evening 15/3 mbits) so how can i set the correct speed in the qos settings of the erx? thanks in advance

Will port forwarding help stabilize your latency? I've been trying to figure it out, but i have no knowledge in this field

I'm literally getting my Edgerouter X & LR Access point hooked up. Trying to get portforwarding set up for the xbox, everything else is good. UPnP.... I'm confused about this. Have a DHCP ISP situation, xbox is on eth2.... how should I set up the UPnP?

Do you have to use upnp at all times or only when strict? Again thanks for ur vids Chris. They are Very useful.

Hey man how come when I try to use smart que my family complaints that their internet slows down alot

watched...enjoyed

Chris, can you explain why you have to use PPPoE instead of eth0 even though you selected PPPoE on eth0?

Thanks very good video 👍

I using liquid sky so I need to know what's the best router to get most out of my internet
