So, you are taking an edgerouter and turning it into a switch? Interesting... does this work only on "edge" equipment from unifi or does it with with other equipment like a unifi usg? Thanks for the video! :)

It will work with any device that has enough ports to act as a switch. Most Access Points do and often are being used as switches already (AP mode). There are some actual switches that work with OpenWrt (Realtek target). I plan on getting one and make a video about it.

I prefer the Ubitquiti firewall. Being able to use objects like ranges of ports, networks, subnets etc.. OpenWRT has basic IP Chains logic with literals. Meaning if you start making vlans, i.e IoT, Guest, etc.. your single linear firewall list can get ridiculously large.

It's somewhat funny that you make this post in a video that shows how to use a device as a switch and typically has few to none firewall rules. When you run OpenWrt as a Firewall I totally agree. The lists become very large and somewhat confusing. Having objects is a nice feature I would also like to see with OpenWrt. I solved that for me by using Ansible where I define once and use many. Actually it's even better because most objects I already have in Ansible and I do not even have to define for using it in firewall rules. You might want to have a look here. kzitem.info/news/bejne/x2en2IRpepOYf4I

nice one, didn´t you can put a openwrt on the edgerouter. One question, is the hw not a bit expensive for the use case as a simple switch? for simple vlans I would rather use a tp link or netgear in those smart managed versions. Well at least one reason I already see: none of them is isolating the management interface to a single vlan or interface. As soon as those edge router are affordable again I will add one to my zoo.

Hello, can you do a QoS management using luci-app-sqm? I have a confusion using it specifically on VLANS and I wanna limit the bandwidth only in LAN 2 port

I added a new role for sqm / bufferbloat. github.com/imp1sh/ansible_openwrt/tree/main/roles/ansible_openwrtsqm Maybe one day I will also add a QoS Role for prioritizing traffic.

I'm sorry but my Edgerouter is already flashed. Check out this documentation: openwrt.org/toh/ubiquiti/edgerouter_x_er-x_ka#installation
