Ubiquiti edgerouter POE5

Hello,
I'm looking for a powerful router with POE, and I found this little router.
Almost all ubiquiti routers are openwrt based.
Is this one going to get its version ? or won't it be supported by Openwrt ?

Thanks to you

Hi,
I do not think anyone has this model, there's a previous thread: OpenWrt on Ubiquiti EdgeMAX PoE-5
That thread confirms it's a Cavium processor and is slower than the Edgerouter X series, the ER-X are supported, and the ER-X-SFP & EP-R6 both support PoE on all ports: https://openwrt.org/toh/ubiquiti/ubiquiti_edgerouter_x_er-x_ka

Actually, none of the Ubiquiti routers run an OS based on OpenWrt. :slight_smile: The EdgeRouter series runs a fork of Vyatta, which is a network OS based on Debian. The same is true for the Unifi Security Gateway models. The UDM and UXG models run their own Linux distribution called UniFi OS (created using Buildroot as far as I know).

However, the 4.x firmware for their Unifi access points started to be based on LEDE, a fork of OpenWrt that later merged back into OpenWrt. Those have no routing functionality though and are strictly access points.

Note that the EdgeRouter PoE was release in 2013, basically a PoE version of the EdgeRouter Lite (released 2012) with a built-in 3 port switch. They are still receiving software support though but there are much newer models available too. With that said, they perform really well still, as long as you don't enable features that makes your traffic ineligable for offloading. Another thing to note is that the EdgeRouter series only support passive PoE, not active PoE (802.3af, etc.).

Is there any way to use openwrt on it? I've tried instruction from docs for Edge router lite. In console I had feeling that everything is working, but I was not able to bring up network interfaces. It was always down.

Ubiquiti E100 is the kernel model for the Edgerouter.

Is there SOFTWARE involved in PoE injection, or is it all hardware-based?

Is it possible that the existing E100 firmware build would work for you?

Thanks for the kick :slight_smile: Put latest E100 firmware on it, replaced cable and after powering on I can see port eth0 lights on but interface is down. When I put cable to port eth1 interface eth1 is going on and when mannualy configure ip address I can communicate with remote computer. Eth0 link LED is always on. The same behaviour have now also with openwrt firmware. So it seems there is some hardware issue with router.

Cleaning RJ45 socket of eth0 made the trick. Now router is working like expected.

Well, of course not from factory but no router does that. You have to install the OpenWRT first but we have right now about 5 Ubi routers with full OpenWRT firmware support already.

And soon also ER4 which is in Snapshot stage right now.

I'm working on the ER-10x as well, although it's not Octeon but RAMips
