Cheaper and older alternative is the Ubiquity Unifi Security Gateway + 8 port switch + UAC AP-PRO if you don't want the Edgerouter X cost. Less customizeable but if you're buying an EdgeRouter you know what you want.

Isn't the EdgeRouter X cheaper than the USG?

how does power consumption compare with a setup like this vs some consumer all-in-one thing?

[kazen44]

to be honest, most routers like this have very low power usage. I think an edgerouter X has a power consumption of something like 5W under load.
