ER605 - no firewall? (latest firmware everywhere)
ER605 - no firewall? (latest firmware everywhere)
I'm confused here. I thought the ER605 was an edge-router. I just replace my Ubiquiti ER-X with this and it has <10% the capability. I got it adopted, reset my LAN to my preferred 10.50.1.1/24, coded all my fixed IPs, but "none" of the things I'd expect from a Router beyond DHCP seem to exist. Port-Forwarding (can't find it), Firewall (straight rejected). And when I test my port security from GRC's Shields Up the vast majority of ports are listening and just rejecting (aka, "closed" instead of "stealth"). I know closed is still safe, but stealth is preferred. I have a few home servers and can't even figure out how to open a port to it when desired.
After many hours playing, I'm planning to return this if I can't get it to be a router today. ... but I don't want to.
EDIT:
1) Port-Forwarding: I got the routing to work via the NAT screen, but now I'm limited by the list of source IPs. I need to put ~30 but cap'd at ~5.
2) Closed-Ports: by limiting DHCP to 100-250, and setting up a DMZ to x.x.x.254 I was able to 'stealth' a lot of ports, but things like FTP / SSH / TELNET / UPnP are still there, all be it 'closed'. These are the exact ports I would want to be fully stealth and not reply at all.

The firmware does fix the stealth ports issue however is does seem to break SpeedTest. Reverting back to 2.0.1 firmware fixes SpeedTest but of course the ports are not in stealth mode.
Thanks,
George
