Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 6P: The WISP Powerhouse
The ER-4 is great, but what if you want to power devices directly?
The ER-6P is the answer. It was designed specifically for scenarios where routing power and power supply are needed in tight spaces – typically in utility boxes on radio towers.
24V PoE for Your Antennas
Instead of buying a router AND a PoE switch, simply use the ER-6P.
Each of the 5 RJ45 ports can be configured to output 24V Passive PoE. This allows you to run Ubiquiti airMAX (NanoStation, LiteBeam, PowerBeam) antennas directly from the router. The external power supply delivers a solid 60 Watts of power.
Important: Routing vs. Switching
Attention: The ER-6P is a router, not a switch.
While you can group the ports into a switch via software (bridging), its true strength shines when each port serves its own network (e.g., Port 1 = Sector North, Port 2 = Sector South, Port 3 = Uplink). Thanks to hardware offloading, it achieves incredible throughput rates of up to 6 Gbps.
Tech That Impresses
Inside is the same 4-core processor as in the ER-4. This means: VPN connections, VLAN tagging, and DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) run smoothly without slowing down the internet connection.
