  ok, based on a bit more reading, it *seems* that the phrase
"edgemax" refers to a "platform", while an actual router based on that
platform might be the edgerouter lite:

  does that make sense? if you look at this page:

http://ubnt.ca/en/8-edgemax

it seems that the edgerouter lite is the single actual product in that
category, and it appears to be buyable online.
