Oops looks like we lapped each other there :-) SFP is for a high bandwidth connection to a switch - unlikely to be relevant in your case unless you are running a business with at least 10 or 20 computers minimum. PoE is for devices that can be powered over ethernet such as VOIP phones or certain wireless access points.
As mentioned in my previous message, er-x is a very cost effective buy. Edgerouter-lite-3 is also a great price but is nearly 2x the cost of the er-x. It has more CPU and memory resources etc. I don't know if there are features available in the higher end model that arent in the other one, I'd have to research it. - Dan On Thu, Oct 26, 2017 at 11:30 AM, Rich Shepard <rshep...@appl-ecosys.com> wrote: > On Thu, 26 Oct 2017, Daniel Bolduc wrote: > > > Ubiquiti's edgerouter line also offers great performance for the price. > > Dan, > > I see two models that look appropriate for my network: ER-X and ER-X > with > PoE and SFP.
