Maximum Control & Performance for your Network
The Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 6P is more than just a simple Router – it is the command center for your Network. Thanks to the versatile EdgeOS operating system, you have the choice: configure your Network quickly and clearly via the intuitive graphical user interface or dive deep into the matter and use the full power of the command line (CLI). Implement complex Firewall rules, segment your Network with VLANs, or set up secure VPN connections. This Router with SFP for fiber connection is designed for professional users and ambitious prosumers who do not want to compromise on stability and configuration freedom.
Built for Reliability: Passively Cooled and Robust
In a professional environment, every outage counts. That's why the ER-6P was developed for maximum reliability. The stable metal casing not only protects the high-quality technology inside but also serves as an effective heat sink. Thanks to the completely passive, fanless design, the EdgeRouter operates absolutely silently and is insensitive to dust. Whether on the desk, wall-mounted, or in a Rack (with an optional kit) – the EdgeRouter 6P makes a professional impression everywhere and ensures trouble-free continuous operation.
Centralized Management Made Easy with UISP™
Do you manage multiple locations or simply want a better overview of your Network infrastructure? With integration into the Ubiquiti Network Management System (UISP™), administration becomes child's play. Via a central, free interface, you can remotely configure, monitor, and maintain one or hundreds of EdgeRouter devices. Keep track of performance, receive notifications of problems, and deploy firmware updates centrally. This saves you valuable time and significantly reduces administrative effort.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the EdgeRouter 6P provide WiFi?
No, the ER-6P is a pure router and does not have integrated WiFi functionality. To set up a WiFi network, you need to connect separate WiFi Access Points (APs) to the Ethernet ports, creating a comprehensive Network.
Which devices can I power with the ER-6P's PoE?
You can only power devices that support 24V passive Power over Ethernet. These are typically older Ubiquiti Networks products like airMAX ac Components. Newer UniFi Access Points or IP Cameras, which require 48V (802.3af/at), cannot be directly powered without additional PoE Injectors / Power Supplies.
How do I access the router's configuration interface?
After connecting a computer to port eth0 using an Ethernet Cable, you can access the address https://192.168.1.1 via a web browser. The standard login credentials for your EdgeRouter are 'ubnt' for both username and password, allowing you to configure your Network.
Is the EdgeRouter 6P suitable for a Gigabit internet connection?
Yes, absolutely. With a packet processing rate of 3.4 million packets per second and a line rate of up to 6 Gbps, the EdgeRouter 6P can easily handle Gigabit internet connections without performance bottlenecks, making it a powerful component for your Network.
What is the difference between the EdgeRouter 4 and the EdgeRouter 6P?
Both EdgeRouter models share a similar hardware base, but the main difference is that the EdgeRouter 6P can output 24V passive PoE on five of its RJ45 ports. The EdgeRouter 4 does not have PoE capability, requiring external PoE Injectors / Power Supplies if needed.
Can I manage the router remotely?
Yes, the EdgeRouter 6P can be fully managed remotely via the free Ubiquiti Network Management System (UISP), which provides a central interface for all your EdgeMAX devices, enhancing your Network management capabilities.
