The $199 Ubiquiti UCG-Fiber Competitor is Great

You asked for it, so we are taking the $199 Alta Labs Route10 for a spin using our high-end Keysight CyPerf network testing setup. We are going through the features of this 2.5GbE and 10GbE device, validating performance and checking features like PoE ports. Finally, we turn on the security features and see how well the IPS, IDS, and firewall function, and what the performance impact is of turning them on.
