Simple 1GB Backplane Router

Hi all,

I'm a beginner sysadmin, (really helpdesk), looking for a simple layer 3 device (switch or router) simply to "bridge" the connection between an ISP and a client site. Our requirements only seem to be that it has a 1G backplane and simpler is better. Price is less of an issue, we use exclusively Cisco Meraki's.

Apparently the client missed checking a box to rent a router and we need to get them up ASAP of course. It is their busy season. My boss originally wanted to go with getting them a Cisco 1921 that we had used for other clients before but is hesitant because of the licensing. I believe the basic IP License is all we need but.. if we can get something comparable we should.

We don't typically do any router work and KISS with Meraki's has worked well for us so far. This business is a regular office. Would something like an Ubiquiti EdgeRouter work for us? .
