 Last year I did my first initial review of the Edge Max Edge Router X version 1.90 Firmware and there's some complaints people had because you know, I didn't revisit it lately We still love these devices. We've been deploying them But I want to do an updated video to specifically address what's on the screen here The hardware offloading feature was not supported then but it is now in the latest firmware So this was the firmware v 1.9.0 and we'll close this window. This is firmware version 1.9x hotfix.4 and this is new as of well I checked it in this latest firmware that's available non beta and it works great and hardware offloading is supported So we're going to kind of show you here the setup. I have an iPerf server at 172 1669 112 My computer's IP address is 192 1681.38 behind the Edge Max router So here is the internal network for the Edge Max Here's the external network 172 1669 113. So on the same Land I'm on the same land on the same land as the Edge Router routing through it to the 172 network Which is on e4 on this and I have also on that same 172 network a IPerf server So I can route traffic through this and get an accurate speed test This always comes up So it's why I'm addressing it so specifically about how I'm doing the testing because someone says you're pushing it through it Not routing. This is routed. So pretend. It's the internet on the other side So we're gonna run a speed test real quick And much like before we see about the same speeds We get a few hundred megs per second side of here And but this is before I turned on the hardware offloading because the default out of the box Configuration for these devices when you run through the wizard and set them up in a sine Ethernet through DCP It still sets it up with hardware offloading not enabled. So we're gonna SSH into it I could use the CLI that's built in to do exactly the same thing by clicking the CLI button up at the top The font's just really tiny and it's easier to show you this here and the results are exactly the same I'm going to show you the command to turn hardware offloading on So SSH UBNT which is whoops NT At 192.168.1.1 UBNT is essentially the root user for these devices Whatever password you set when you ran the wizard or didn't run it and the default would be UBNT as a default password if you didn't set a password and To get these into configure mode we first say configure Now that I'm aware of you can't do this do the web interface I tried because there's an option to put the heart enabled in there and it gives me an error I don't know what I did wrong I know how to do it from the command line and that seems to be the recommended way in the forums to do it So we're gonna go into configure It says you're in edit mode now. So the command is set system offload HW NAT HWNAT and I'll leave this command in the links below those steps I did just in case have trouble reading any of this on a smaller screen and Enable all right Just kind of walk you through the process here that sets the hardware net enable which is the hardware offload featured and we're gonna commit it Which if you notice the screen behind me would break because it's gonna refresh the page behind me because we've now committed it Say take this change and push it into the router Then the last part make sure you do this hit save if you don't save What this did was change the boot time config to actually save it because maybe you turn hardware net on but don't want to Save it when you reboot the router the feature will go away. So you need to make sure you click save at the end We're gonna exit Out of can we don't need to be in here no more and I'm back to my computer Clear now this is a jump back over here It just lets you know the page refresh because it sense that the config file was changed So that's all that did nothing really changes here. The dude thing that will show up in the config tree go to systems Offload this is an able I tried putting an able here and hitting save and it gave me an error Like I said, I don't know or try putting disable here And it didn't disable doing it from the command line works fine doing it from that not so much I'll leave the dashboard in the background so you can see the traffic going through So we're gonna run I perf again here And you don't have to reboot it once you enable the hardware net once it's is It enables it immediately and now we're getting pretty full gig of speed right through this That's amazing for a small device that only costs about 50 60 bucks. You can find these for they're really good routers You hard to beat the price because they actually have a lot of features They're better than a lot of the consumer devices you can buy that cost twice as much So they don't have any why if a built-in someone always asked that I'm gonna do a more in-depth review with this firmware because it adds More features and more configuration options for these that are easier to do through the interface But of course the lot of the power comes from the command line and you can edit specific functions in the command line here That's an in-depth review coming probably next week But this is just an updated speed test because I'm gonna link this particular video as an add-on for my previous video on this device To say yes the new version get the new firmware you have is no problem routing at gig of speed So if you got this great fiber connection coming in or you have 500 mega internet from some provider 600 mega internet You have that ability to route substantially faster with these devices now with the latest firmware.
