Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 4
Question about Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 4
I need to set up a site-to-site VPN to another company for my business. At the moment we only have a CTS FTTH gateway VRG5-31412 from Sunrise. Is it possible to set up such a VPN using the Ubiquiti EdgeRouter 4 and use my current router as a Wifi access point? Or what other components are needed to set up a site-to-site VPN and still have wifi in the shop?

You can set up a VPN on the router, for example OpenVPN see documentation: https://help.ui.com/hc...
I tried it once and have to say that the performance, i.e. the speed of the VPN, didn't knock my socks off and I would only use the router for remote access ala I still have an account and not as a VPN server for all traffic between two offices.
I now use my NAS for VPN with high performance.
Wifi should not be a problem if you configure the existing device properly before plugging it in. You can use the EdgeRouter for DHCP and routing, for which it works super fast and extremely stable, and turn off all these functions on your existing device but still keep the WiFi access point on the network.
