Options for a local-only (or mostly) home network
I’m currently using Eero https://eero.com/ for my home network, as it mostly works well and is easy for my partner to enable and disable our kids devices at bedtime etc. The interface is quite slow, and I worry about being so cloud and Amazon dependant.
I’m wondering if there’s a local-only, ideally open, alternative? Most alternatives eg Ubiquiti seem to be becoming cloud based, and the likes of open wrt isn’t very partner-friendly.
Is there a middle ground? My requirements are modest, just a few wireless access points plus a handful of wired devices. Internet is max 1 gigabit.

Unifi can run the interface locally, via cloud, out both. I have a UDM and most of the time I access the interfaces locally.
Do you think the mobile app would be easy for a vaguely technical person to enable and disable groups of devices? Last time I looked at ubiquiti it wasn’t really “consumer” oriented.
It’s more “prosumer”. Definitely not designed for lay-people.
