Truth is once you set it up, I stopped running the Java controller. I got the edge router because it's half the price. One thing I really dislike is it doesn't do DNS name injection for statically configured hosts. You can use Dnsmasq instead and make it work, but then you can't see the leases! I ended up using a raspberry pi to run pihole and do DNS.

This video had a good overview: https://youtu.be/XvWOx3PvYFM

The edge router is nice cuz it also has doing and great firewall. One annoying thing is there's no idiot protection... You can lock yourself out of the admin interface and only way to recover is restore factory defaults.

Been there, done that :)

I've been debating getting the USG, why did you pick the edge router? Would you get the USG if you had to do it again? I currently have a UAP AC PRO.

I wanted less devices and I wanted PoE. I would love to see everything in the webinterface for the controller, but I can't really find a good reason to replace my one device with two...
