I agree. Back in the day I used to run DD-WRT on a cheap $75 router to get features you’d only get on $200+ routers, but now a days I think there’s better options. UniFi for example is great if you don’t mind spending a bit extra. Otherwise I’d rather just use PfSense.
Same here! These days I have less time for tinkering and enjoy everything behind the Unifi "pane of glass".
Same. I just don’t have as much time to troubleshoot things when stuff goes wrong these days.
I run OpenWRT on my Unifi AP :D
Chaotic neutral move. Nice.
In all seriousness, how is it?
It makes wifi! I'd say that stability and performance are probably identical. I don't especially mistrust Ubiquiti, but running open source feels nice, and it gives me nerd cred.
