Has anyone been able to purchase a small Ubiquiti EdgeRouter in the last six months? They've been out of stock at Amazon, Newegg, B&H. Beginning to wonder if they have deprioritized the consumer market, since other vendors are shipping routers.

Ubiquiti appears to have been prioritizing their own online store since the supply chain disruptions began. The ER-10X in particular may also be suffering from a general lack of popularity -- they've only had stock twice this year in fairly low quantities. They sell through fairly quick, but not nearly as fast as the ER-X which has been stocked regularly and in much larger quantities.

There's an inventory tracker for the Ubiquiti store on the Discord.

EdgeRouter 4 is available on their own store right now. Most of it's lighter weight siblings aren't, but their 3 most expensive models are also out of stock. None of their consumer wifi gear seems out of stock, though. I'd guess Si shortages before assuming they deprioritized the consumer market.

Yeah, at that $250 price point there are x86 coreboot alternatives.

Are they still making them? I thought they had switched to pushing their Dream Machine as opposed to the Edge Router series.

I _hate_ the Dream Machines. We've been switching to them at work and the whole cloud UI is just an absolute mess. It's so hard to find anything.

I will be sad when the last of our Mikrotik stuff gets swapped out.

Yes, I bought an ER-4 last month from NewEgg. In fact, it is in stock and has a promo code for $10 off currently. https://www.newegg.com/p/0XM-0013-00087

I was hunting the 8 port switch for a while. I had to setup my own stock monitoring with alerts and managed to catch one that way.
