Ubiquiti ER-8 or ER + switch

[Mike Davis]

I'm building a very small network where I need a router and 4 LAN network ports to start and no more than 8 total. I was thinking about a Ubiquiti ER-8 or the pro, but from what I read, it doesn't look like either one has the switching chipset and it looks like if I were to try to use it as a switch, it would actually slow things down. Is that true? Am I better with a ERlite3 and a EdgeSwitch? I don't need PoE on any ports, and noise is a concern.

Buy an ERL and a dumb 8 port gigabit switch.
