TERMS OF USE: All Ethernet cabling runs must use CAT5 (or above). It is the professional
installer’s responsibility to follow local country regulations, including operation within legal
frequency channels, output power, indoor cabling requirements, and Dynamic Frequency
Selection (DFS) requirements.
Installation Requirements
• Drill with a 6 mm drill bit (for wall-mounting)
• Phillips screwdriver
• For indoor applications, use Category 5 (or above) UTP
cabling approved for indoor use.
• For outdoor applications, shielded Category 5 (or above)
cabling should be used for all wired Ethernet connections
and should be grounded through the AC ground of the
power supply.
We recommend that you protect your networks from
harmful outdoor environments and destructive ESD events
with industrial-grade, shielded Ethernet cable from Ubiquiti
Networks. For more details, visit:

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
do not expose the EdgeRouter to rain or moisture.
Note: Although the cabling can be located outdoors,
the EdgeRouter itself should be housed inside a
protective enclosure.

Button Description
Reset
There are two methods to reset the
EdgeRouter to factory defaults:
• Runtime reset (recommended) The
EdgeRouter should be running after
bootup is complete. Press and hold the
Reset button for about 10seconds until
the LED for port eth5 starts flashing and
then becomes solidly lit. After a few
seconds, the LED will turn off, and the
EdgeRouter will automatically reboot.
• Power-on reset Disconnect the Power
Cord from the Power Adapter. Press and
hold the Reset button while connecting
the power (refer to “Connecting Power”
for details). The port LEDs will light up
in sequential order. Keep holding the
Reset button until the System LED starts
flashing blue and white, and then release
the button.
