The one with Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X: 7 useful things you MUST know how to do

Hey guys,

This router doesn't check all the boxes as I believe there are some things not quite OK with it (like for example I am not able to set MTU greater than 2018) but for general usage it is quite powerful.

Granted, it is not for everybody because you must know some routing and networking to use it fully but that is the beauty of it: it is simple and also complicated :)

For example, you have "Port Forwarding" and "NAT". They both do about the same thing but with a big difference:
Port Forwarding is simpler to use but with less features
NAT is more complicated to use - you must really know what to set up there but you have way more things covered than Port Forwarding cannot do. I'll come back with a video about this.


But until then, I hope this tutorial is useful to you. I wanted to keep it short and simple :)

Seven things you should know how to do on your router:
0:28 - How to connect to it first time and configuration
1:17 - How to change the default password and create/delete users
2:19 - How to set up passwordless connection via SSH
3:16 - Hardware offloading
4:26 - Firmware upgrade
5:30 - Backup configuration
