Hi All,

I am getting Fibre installed at my house and was looking for a new router with PoE, I found the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X Passive PoE

This router has Passive PoE, Can I use this router with non-PoE devices, I will be connecting the EdgeRouter to another pre-existing router using a Crossover cable all other connections will be straight-through(T568B).

On a side note has anyone used this router with Spark (a NZ ISP) I am looking at getting the 900/400 Mbps plan will it provide enough throughput?

Thanks!

This is the router I am looking at

https://www.pbtech.co.nz/product/NETUBI1211/Ubiquiti-EdgeRouter-ER-X-SFP-Advanced-Gigabit-Rout

Ubiquiti EdgeRouter ER-X-SFP Advanced Gigabit Router, 5 x Gigabit RJ45 with Passive PoE (Max 50W), 1 x SFP

It has Passive PoE, I guess that means it is always on, on each port?

You need to turn on the poe feature. default its off

Just go with the Edgerouter PoE or the Edgerouter Lite and use PoE injectors if you're getting or planning on getting gigabit fibre.

The ER-X may work however I've had experience with these not performing to the same standard as the Lite or PoE.
