XBR-4500 Epic 4 Multi-WAN Gigabit Router Luxul XBR-4500 Continuing that trend, the Luxul hardware below offers everyone from consumers to small businesses distributed network efficiency by splitting the Wi-Fi access point from the router, allowing users to rack mount the router in a basement (for example) where the cable line comes in to the house, and locate the Wi-Fi access point on one of the upper floors where it can provide optimal coverage. As described above, I have my equipment strategically located throughout my home to ensure strong connections to most of my mission-critical network devices.Īs you are likely aware, we are no stranger to Luxul networking gear. While this conserves space, its location can severely impact W-Fi performance. Many consumers buy a single Wi-Fi Router/Switch device. The equipment below (an XBR-4500 and XAP-1020) is representative of an installation in a typical residence or small business: a very large property may need additional access points. Luxul delivers highly reliable solutions for use in the most demanding network deployments-ranging from residential and commercial LANs and WLANs to mobile Wi-Fi connectivity in heavy industrial and military applications. When I got the opportunity to review Luxul equipment, I jumped at the chance.

I use Google Domains, which piggybacks on the DynDNS protocol and it works like a charm for a reverse-proxy setup that I use when I’m out and about. Dynamic DNS support with presets for almost every conceivable service.Incredibly flexible VPN options, including site-to-site connections for off-site work environments.Unlike some consumer routers, this “prosumer” gateway provides as much or as little configuration flexibility as I could want. Configuration can be completed through the web portal or via an app.In addition, there are several things I like about the USG security gateway: However, the EnGenius ESR530 access points do help fill the parts of the home with weaker signal and provide some additional wired access. It’s a dual-band router, so I can put a lot of stuff on the 5GHz band. The Ubiquiti USG and Unifi AP-AC LR is adequate for my needs. Living Room: EnGenius ESR530 AP (bridged with wired backhaul).Master Bedroom: EnGenius ESR530 AP (bridged with wired backhaul).Attic: Ubiquiti Unifi AP-AC long range access point.Spectrum internet (100Mb up and 30Mb down).My current network infrastructure comprises: The best experiences I’ve had to date are 3 rd party firmware builds such as DD-WRT and the Ubiquiti USG, which is my current router paired with a Unifi AP-AC long range for Wi-Fi. Over the past several years I’ve been through at least one consumer-grade router from most of the major manufacturers (Cisco-formerly LinkSys, Netgear, D-Link, etc.).
