Ubiquiti EdgeMAX EdgeRouter 12 (ER-12)

Ubiquiti EdgeMAX EdgeRouter 12 (ER-12) is a high-performance wired router ideal for demanding network environments that require advanced routing, robust security, and flexible connectivity options. Featuring ten Gigabit Ethernet ports and two independent SFP fiber uplink ports, this enterprise-grade router delivers exceptional throughput and network control using Ubiquiti’s EdgeOS software. With passive PoE support, Layer-2/Layer-3 switching capabilities, and centralized management with UNMS (Ubiquiti Network Management System), the ER-12 is well suited for small to medium business networks, multi-WAN deployments, campus infrastructures, and advanced home or office setups requiring reliable, scalable routing.

Product Features

Enterprise-Grade Routing Performance

Powered by a quad-core 1 GHz MIPS64 processor and 1 GB RAM, the ER-12 can process up to 3.4 million packets per second and deliver line-rate throughput of up to 6.8 Gbps or more, ensuring smooth network performance for demanding environments.

Multiple High-Speed Interfaces

Includes ten Gigabit RJ45 ports for wired connections and two Gigabit SFP ports for fiber uplinks, offering versatile deployment options for both copper and fiber infrastructure.

Passive PoE Support and Passthrough

Supports 24 V passive PoE input on port 0 and PoE passthrough on port 9, allowing power and data delivery over the network to compatible devices, simplifying cabling and installation.

Layer-2 Switching Capability

Ports 0–7 can be configured for line-rate Layer-2 switching to function as a switch for local segment traffic while still performing advanced routing tasks for WAN and inter-VLAN routing.

Advanced Network Management

Managed through Ubiquiti’s UNMS (Ubiquiti Network Management System) and EdgeOS interface, offering real-time monitoring, traffic configuration, routing policies, VLANs, firewall controls, and VPN setup.

Fanless, Durable Design

Silent operation with a fanless metal chassis ensures reliability and quiet deployment in office or rack-mounted environments, with optional rack-mount kit support (sold separately).
