<p>Forgot to Reply All so you can all see my superior opinion on
hardware that is betterer than anything you guys are using no
matter what your situation is.</p>
<p>Also the specific Mikrotiks I used were horrible so all Mikrotiks
are bad mmkay.<br>

<p>I assume you mean 200Mbps.</p>
<p>Ubiquiti has it's place. I'll take an Edgerouter any day over a
Meraki (financial hostage situation) but I wouldn't touch a
Unifi router (too much automated shit going on and not enough
quality control).<br>
<br>
No big deal if firmware breaks an Edgerouter as long as you
aren't upgrading remotely without testing on a local device
first.<br>
</p>
<p>My preferred option for most sites is Debian. Configuration is
just a handful of easy to read text files that can easily be
used on a lot of different hardware with little to no changes.
If I want LTE or more ports etc I just buy whatever hardware I
need to that supports it.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have sites that are NBN FTTN (last
mile VDSL2) which are being upgraded to FTTP starting later
this month.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Currently we run Cisco 1900 series
routers into firewalls, switches, etc for small sites with
5-15 staff and that has worked well for many years.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our smallest FTTP site will be 140 /
40MBps with larger sites 200MBps+ hence I was thinking it’s
time to upgrade / replace the 1900 units.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Some of them are in support, however I’m
not really bothered as we have plenty of spares and this is
a good opportunity to make improvements whilst we’re doing
site visits.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A few sites have 4G / 5G backup via
separate router which can remain as is or integrated with
new hardware if possible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We do have some Ubiquiti devices around
which work well, happy to consider those and any other
suggestions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Happy to hear recommendations off or on
list if the information can benefit someone else here.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cheers<o:p></o:p></p>
