- In this video, I go over how to configure an Edgerouter-X for the first time. If you don't quite know how to get your internet up and running with the ER-X just follow the steps in this video and get it running in no time.
Hardware Offload Commands: (ER-X, ER-10X, EP-R6, ER-X-SFP)
configure
set system offload hwnat enable
set system offload ipsec enable

Hardware Offload Commands for Cavium-based devices (ER-6P, ER-4, ERLite-3, etc...). The commands are slightly different for different models. If the above commands do not take with your specific model, try these.
configure
set system offload ipv4 forwarding enable
set system offload ipv4 gre enable
set system offload ipv4 pppoe enable
set system offload ipv4 vlan enable
set system offload ipv4 bonding enable
set system offload ipv6 forwarding enable
set system offload ipv6 pppoe enable
set system offload ipv6 vlan enable
set system offload ipsec enable

I like your style. None of that annoying background music or wasted time with self serving intro.
I spent hours trying to figure out why my edge router wasn’t working. Thanks to this video it’s now working great!
Picking up one later this week, searched for a video ahead of time and this was perfect. Easy for a novice, straight to the point, and anyone who works in IT can just hit the ground running. Great Video!
I moved to a new apartment with a network box that has connections that terminate in each room. I know a router like this is over kill but i couldn't resist. You saved me hours of potentially soul crushing work with this video I don't ever smash that like button but i am today. Thank you sir!!!!
Useful video even in 2023. Watched all of them from Edgerouter Tutorials, thanks.
Perfect. I wish I had seen your video before sending my first router back and ordering anther! Your simple 10 minute video made set up very very simple. Many thanks for this.
Excellent explanation on how to do a very basic setup for this EdgeRouter! I purchased it for a small network at a church with existing Ubiquity Access Points for WiFi - just needed a router with hard wired connections. This video provides clear and concise instructions to get it up and running. Thanks so much!!!
Thanks a lot. I used to have like 300mb/s upload and download speed on my edgerouter but because I made those settings from the end of your clip now I am back to the 900mb/s !
Straight to the point, no fuss. Thanks for the introduction.
Great! Love the little tidbits of info you provide (reset button, set static IP first time). Mine is coming this week and will be using your other videos to set it up.
No Bull straight to the point....you will make a great teacher. Thank you
Thanks - good explanation. I was up and running in no time at all.
Wow, what a great video. You got straight to the point and still explained your work.
2 year old video, still relevant and to the point. Best video, you'earned a sub and loyalty from me. Thank you for solidifying my choice.
I really appreciate that you put this up, it helped me out a lot! You have my sub for sure, because this and that setup video for port forwarding on the ERX was so simple!!
I had to buy another one of these yesterday due a power issue AND internet connectivity issues in my lab on my last ER-X. Definitely waltzed me right through it all
Glad it helped! Thank you!
This was so helpful - without the hwnat offload and IPSec offload commands my 900/900 mbps WAN runs at about 400/400 mbps
Thank you so much Toasty.
You Sir are a freaking genoius... the offload was exactly what I needed... thank you..
Thanks for the setup class, I just bought this router and hope it is better than my last setup.
This was Perfect mate! Great introduction for a great little product!
Thank you!
Excellent video. Thanks. Got my router up and running in a few mins.
Great easy to follow setup video. Quick and straight forward. Subscribed and thank you!
Thanks for the HW accel tip. I just got fiber and was running into speed limits. That did the trick. Cheers!
Great video - many thanks. I am fully up and running with my ERX in
Thanks man, excellent explanation. I appreciate the step by step approach. This little thing is a beast
THANK YOU, THE INFO IS PRICELESS I feel like an expert now !!
This is great! thanks for taking the time to post this.
Clear, concise and straight to the point. Thought I would have to wade through a bunch of info to set it up. But this was all I needed. Thank you!
Great video. I have had one of these for years and just now configuring it to work well. thanks for taking the time.😁
Thank you Toasty! Great simple video. Much love
perfect video, up and running with no issues. Thanks man!
This was super helpful, thank you! I got stuck on the IP assigning thing... I didn't know how to manually assign a different IP to my computer so that the router could take its default IP. Your video showed how to do that, and it was smooth sailing from there.
So many helpful troubleshooting points... Thank you!
After failing many times, sitting new in the box for many years, I had a need to get it to work... Your video lead me to the setup solution! Yay!! One thing I could suggest, for us old-timers with old eyes... Somehow, make critical numbers, easier to see... on the other hand 1080p full screen, and replaying a few times worked too. Thank You!!
I've taken note... I always forget to change the font settings in Putty and other applications. Thanks for the feedback!
I'd like to thank you for making the video, it really helped me!
Man I wish I watched this first since the quickstart guide was no help getting me to the configuration page. Thank you.
Thanks for this video, and your warning about resetting at the end. Looks like this is the start to setting up my own home network!
Good luck!
@@ToastyAnswers Will i still have wifi if I plug this into my ISP's Router via Ethernet 0
Ok wow! These two Settings just trippled the iperf Speed! 😳😳😳 from ~200 Mbit to ~650 Mbit! thank you for this Perfect Video. On Point 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I found this video via a comment on your other video. Turning on the hardware offload took my gig internet from 300 up/down to over 900 up/down.
You're a lengend! Thank you for making this video, helped alot!
Got my EdgeRouter X, and thanks for the video! I will watch the speed test next :D
Thank you so much. 100% accurate information that help me out a ton.
Fantastic video. Exactly what I needed
Thank you! Wonderful walk through!
This video was really really helpful !!! Many thanks !!!
This is exactly what I needed thank you
Great video. Thank you for making this!
Thank you so much!
Very thorough and direct but importantly, very concise! No frills in this video!
You're right though, I came to this router with the mindset of a typical consumer-level combo wifi router and become frustrated when I thought I was following the instructions to a tee. Got irritated and found your video... that's when I realize I would have never figured it out within a day's time.
Thanks again!
This video really helped me today. Thank you!
Great video, you did an excellent job at explaining things. Truly liked your entire approach. but FYI- you can’t ruin non POE ports by connecting them to POE devices. It’s part of the standard, all Ethernet devices non Poe will ignore (and not be ruined) otherwise a Poe network would be a mine field. Think of if you have a separate Poe switch in your home, it would be a disaster if it could break your router just by using the wrong ports.
I swear, can there be a video more relatable than this?😊
Perfect video on setup - thanks!
fantastic video! thank you, helped me out a lot!
Thank you so much! This saved my life!!!!
Thank you so much, works like a charm!
Thank you. VERY helpful. I am new to using some Ubiquity Unify products
Perfect, thank you for your support!
Awesome well kind of sold me that I need this to use on my home network.
Thank you so much for this tutorial.
Thank you very much, have spent almost the whole day trying to get it to work after a day offline due to electricians working on my house. Now to get the Unifi "puck" to work again...
Puck? Lol 😂
awesome setup guide - thanks! I'm replacing my crappy verizon router with this router - looking for better performance and I don't want to keep paying $12 month rental for their POS.
This was awesome, thanks very much
Thank you so much, it helped me a lot!
Thank you very much! So easy to follow your instructions, I'm new to this. Bought mine few days ago has Firmware 1.10.7
And that's an almost 6 month old firmware too
@@Taylexwow And that firmware is 15 months old . Using the American Calendar based on the Gregorian calendar hanging on my refrigerator )))
Just a little warning I connected my newly configured ER-X to UNMS and it tried to firmware update my ER-X running 1.10.7 firmware to 2.0.8.. it failed 3 times ...then I rebooted the device but it never came up again ... even a hw reset did not bring it back... I'll return my device and stay clear of ubiquiti products.
@@jowjowosv 1.10.7 is stable.
Adding, Toasty Answers video Edgerouter X Speedtest 2.0.1 mentions Ubiquiti has recalled this firmware due to instability.
I Updated firmware, had zero issues
@@greatdayitis8788 If that is the case... Then why do UNMS suggest upgrade to 2.0.8.. Thats just stupid... I dont get the Ubiquity hype..
Your video has help me so mush thank you
I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...I love you...
lol!
I was over-sold this piece of hardware and was stumped at how to set it up.
Your to-the-point, no bs, "how-to" got me connected in minutes.
I fucking LOVE YOU! :D
All the best wishes for you and yours!!!
Thank you so much Toasty! Liked and subbed! :)
Excellent Video. Thanks
Thank you for the tutorial!
Great vid. Thanks!
Great Video. right on point
Fantastic. Thank You For Your Time!!!!
Good video bud! Str8 to the point.
Awesome video. Thank you.
Great suggestion with the CLI Hardware Offload Commands My speed test went from 400Mb/s with 100% CPU usage to 850Mb/s with less than 10% CPU usage!
Thanks for a good tutorial!
Great video! Thanks.
Thanks so much for this!
Yes it worked after I updated the firmware and I have got more options including the Basic setup. However, I am getting another problem. Video streaming doesn’t work well with my PVR. I have to reboot the PVR if I turned off the power of the PVR overnight. The video streaming will last for a minute and then asking for reboot.
I even configured the QoS for the PVR but the video streaming still dropped.
If you're having problems after saving the settings, try rebooting your modem, I had the same issue where I couldn't connect to the internet after saving and this worked. Make sure you reboot correctly so you don't have to reactivate your modem w/ your provider (for example with Cox, restart from the Cox app). Hope this helps anybody who needs it.
Perfect - Thank you!
Thank you for the video!
Hey Toasty, informative as usual.Dude, do you by any chance have a source for ubiquity e-books ( pdf ) on these topics,vlan and stuff ,everything on how to on ubiquity routers ?
Appreciate your vids man,keep it up.
Hello again!
I don't have any e-book references specifically for Ubiquiti equipment, but the Ubiquiti support page is my go-to for configuration guides. They have a lot of great articles on how to do a lot of this stuff. Also, the community section and /r/ubiquiti are great resources as well if you want to bounce something off people.
Here's a link: help.ubnt.com/hc/en-us#all-articles
Also, my video on VLANs is already uploaded and ready to come out next Monday.
Helped me a lot !
Great stuff bro, thanks
Thanks, I got it. I misunderstood one of the commands
Thanks!!! Just set mine up I’m so excited. I’m a dev getting into home networking. Hope there’s some way to manage all this stuff with terraform.
Awesome video thank you
Thank you for the warning about the reset button on this router.
I need to look into that some more.
That has always been my "go to" when I screw up the config on home routers.
@Davy Yes, you can reset if you mess up the configuration, but you have to start over from scratch. Your router won't be usable until it is configured again since the default settings are not made to work "out of the box".
@@ToastyAnswers Thank you for the clarification. I was looking for that answer. You made it sound like I could not go into the beginning of setup and start all over again. Thanks again for clarifying it.
You are the man. 👌
Thank you!
Thank you, sorted!
Great video! Thank you for making this, it was very helpful. I especially loved the part about using the Command Line Interface to do:
$ configure
$ set system offload hwnat
$ set system offload ipsec
$ commence
$ save
Thanks
Commit, not commence
thank you good information
This was incredibly helpful. Can you add more context to your comment about resetting the device at the end? Does it basically brick the device? I didn't understand the difference between what a reset does on this device versus a consumer device. Thank you!
That comment at the end is something I should have phrased better. It does not brick the device. What I meant was that you will have to re-configure everything once you reset it (go through the basic setup wizard again or restore from a backup configuration). This is in contrast to other consumer devices that comes out of the box with a working configuration (plug and play).
Большое спасибо. Очень помогло ваше видео.
Great Guide, one of the best, except a tiny flaw.
ER-X DOES "create POE" if you feed it with a stronger 12V supply.
The 12V suply which comes with it, can only deliver 5W,
and the ER-X uses between 3 and 5 W...
Therefore a more powerfull suply is needed,
to feed another device also.
But one guy, in another guide on UA-cam,
tried to attach some Unifi unit,
and it did start up,
even when only the 5W 12V supply fed the ER-X.
Ubiquiti writes:
To deliver POE to another unit,
feed the ER-X with a 24V POE supply,
OR a more powerful 12V supply,
(like ~ 12W from a 12V 1A suply)
to the ER-X
Best regards :)
you saved my life
Thank you
Oh, thank god and thank you!
Great video! Can you please expand on the last point about the Reset Button? I had an electrician resetting my router last week in the process of fixing unrelated things: now my router is not working as expected
