Help me choose, which EdgeRouter is best for me . . .
It's long overdue that I upgrade my home router. I have 4 Windows 10 desktops, two Windows 10 laptops, one good (HP) network printer, an Xbox One, a few network drives and a Wi-Fi hot-spot all wire feed and operating through a 24-port gigabit switch. I have plans to add a network TV tuner. My current router is a Linksys DGL-4100. The DGL-4100 has wat is called "gamefuel" - a method of setting highest priority to the Xbox. That's why it's called "a gaming router".
I want to replace that old router with an EdgeRouter. I am consisting one of three choices;
1. Ubiquiti ERLite-3 Edgemax EdgeRouter 3-Port
2. Ubiquiti ERPOE-5 EdgeRouter PoE Advanced 5-Port Router
3. Ubiquiti ER-8 EdgeRouter (rack mount) 8-port
My questions;
1. Are the underlying engines in these three routers identical? Can I expect the same firmware/performance?
2. If not, can someone say somthing about performance?
3. Which router would you choose if you were me?
You see, I feel I should base my choice on performance alone. And am only consisting the ER-8 becase my 24-port switch is already rack mountable.
Thanks all,
- Stan
