> There is a longstanding firmware issue that introduces packet loss for routed packets

Interesting, do you have any more about this?

Got an ER-PoE that intermittently loses packets and have never got to the bottom of why (I gave up and bought a non-Ubnt router, just haven’t got around to configuring it yet).

I was one of the people involved in some of the measurements on there.

I avoid ubnt networking gear in general after that experience (although ER-X seems good and I use one at home as a smart switch). Their specialty is in APs, which work really great.

The last update of the first post says that this was fixed in v1.10.0, and the release notes concur: https://community.ubnt.com/t5/EdgeMAX-Updates-Blog/EdgeMAX-E...

I knew I should have checked the release notes before commenting. No idea if it works but that would be a great improvement.

Open to the idea I’ve got a different issue, but I’m still seeing an issue with 1.10.5.

Thanks, and agreed. It was my first Ubnt gear, and I suspect it will be my last. It was so much cheaper than some of the alternatives though (that should probably have been a red flag…) but firmware that’s at best in continuous beta really isn’t good enough.
