Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite vs PRO

[SanjayThomas]

Hi,

We are a small non-profit based out of India. We have around 50 employees working in an office using wireless internet. We have a 100Mbps internet connection that is shared. We used to use the Asus RT N66U wireless router along with an additional access point to serve these users. But off late the router has not been able to handle all the load and frequently has to be reset.

We are planning to get the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter with 2 Unifi AC LR access points. We don't know whether to go with the EdgeRouter Lite or PRO. Can someone suggest a model based on our 50 users and 100Mbps internet connection requirement.

Also can the APs be directly connected to the router or do we need to get an additional Ubiquiti switch as well? We don't have any wired users, everyone is connected via wireless.

Mostly it is the pro can pass more traffic and can take optic modules.

Both are overkill for a 100m internet connection. You asus should have been able to handle 100m of traffic easily.

Likely your problem is overload of the wireless. You might be better served to add a 3 wireless source in your current network to try to split the uses more.

You need to verify that you are actually being bottlenecked by the router. If you are running at 100m then the problem is not enough bandwidth and 100m is not very much for 50 users.
