Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 12 (ER-12)—High-Performance Routing for Advanced Networks
The Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 12 (ER-12) is a powerful, versatile, and cost-effective router designed for users who demand superior routing performance and robust network control. Whether you’re managing a small business, office, or advanced home setup, the ER-12 delivers enterprise-class features at a fraction of the cost of traditional networking hardware.
Part of Ubiquiti’s EdgeMAX® line, the ER-12 is engineered for performance, scalability, and reliability—combining sophisticated routing capability with a fanless, compact design that fits easily into any network environment.
Advanced Routing Performance for Power Users
The EdgeRouter 12 is powered by a quad-core 1 GHz MIPS64 processor and features 1 GB of DDR3 RAM, allowing it to handle high-throughput workloads with ease. With support for advanced routing protocols such as OSPF, BGP, and static routing, it’s built for serious networking needs—capable of managing complex topologies, multiple VLANs, and various WAN failover setups.
This router supports up to 3.4 million packets per second (pps) forwarding rate, making it ideal for networks with high data traffic, VoIP, video streaming, or large numbers of concurrent connections.
Flexible Port Configuration
One of the standout features of the EdgeRouter 12 is its 12 total ports:
-
10 Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet ports
-
2 Gigabit SFP ports for fiber connectivity
This unique configuration offers unmatched flexibility, enabling a mix of copper and fiber connections to suit any deployment scenario. Whether you need to uplink to a core switch, connect multiple LAN segments, or isolate WAN interfaces, the ER-12 provides the port density and performance to get the job done.
The combination of SFP and Ethernet ports makes it easy to adapt to evolving infrastructure needs and future-proof your network setup.
