Ubiquiti Networks 12-Port EdgeRouter 12 Router Description
Are you a home user looking to improve network performance and security, a small business owner setting up a network for your office, or an IT professional deploying a complex network infrastructure? The Ubiquiti EdgeMAX EdgeRouter 12 is a compact yet potent router designed to handle demanding network traffic, delivering up to 3.4 million packets per second. Engineered with a 4-core 1 GHz MIPS64 processor, the EdgeRouter 12 ensures efficient handling of network traffic, allowing for smooth performance even under heavy load.
The Ubiquiti EdgeMAX EdgeRouter 12 features 1 GB DDR3 RAM and 4 GB eMMC on-board flash storage. These storages provide ample memory for running the EdgeOS operating system, handling various network tasks, and storing configuration files and system data. For ample networking, the EdgeRouter 12 comes with 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 2 SFP ports and a Serial console port. These ports offer high-speed wired connectivity for multiple devices, provide flexibility for fibre optic connections, extend network reach by increasing bandwidth, and enable direct console access for advanced configuration and troubleshooting.
Overall, the Ubiquiti EdgeMAX EdgeRouter 12 is a versatile router that combines the functions of a router and a switch into a compact, durable metal case with silent fanless operation. It can handle routing traffic between networks and switching devices within a network.
Network Segmentation
Thanks to its powerful EdgeOS and flexible configuration options, the Ubiquiti EdgeMAX EdgeRouter 12 divides the network into smaller subnetworks, or VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks). Each VLAN is a separate broadcast domain, thereby devices within a VLAN can communicate but not with devices in other VLANs. This isolation helps protect sensitive data and prevents unauthorised access.


Load Balancing
Load balancing is a technique that distributes network or application traffic across multiple servers. The Ubiquiti EdgeMAX EdgeRouter 12 uses a load-balancing algorithm to distribute traffic across available WAN interfaces. This algorithm can be configured based on various factors such as bandwidth, latency, and packet loss. By distributing traffic across multiple WAN connections, the EdgeRouter 12 offers increased overall throughput and reduced latency. If one WAN connection fails, traffic can be automatically redirected to other available connections, thereby minimising downtime.
VPN Protocols
The EdgeRouter 12 supports a variety of VPN protocols to cater to different security and performance needs including IPsec, Route-based (VTI) VPN, Policy-based VPN, L2TP/IPsec, and OpenVPN. These protocols allow granular control over traffic flow and offer flexibility in configuration and simpler configuration for basic site-to-site connections. The EdgeRouter 12 also runs EdgeOS, which provides a robust platform for configuring VPNs and supports both Site-to-Site and Remote Access VPN connections. Users can also use Dynamic DNS to simplify VPN configuration.

QoS Supported
The Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 12 fully supports Quality of Service (QoS). This feature offers Advanced Queue, Traffic Shaping, Queue Management, and Class-Based Queuing. Simply put, the supported QoS provides granular control over traffic classification and queuing, allowing you to prioritise specific applications or devices, limits bandwidth consumption for individual devices or traffic types, ensuring fair resource allocation, offers various queuing algorithms (FIFO, RED, SFQ) to optimise network performance based on traffic patterns, and prioritise traffic based on defined classes, allowing you to give preference to critical applications.
