Trying to setup a new and better network in the house. Ditching my ISP router because its just a mess and I want better security.
I keep being suggested Unifi as a setup. Its pricey but I am told its well worth the cost.
My main concern is the privacy side.
How reputable is Ubiquity when it comes to handling data? Any ideas?
It’s actually not that pricey for what you get from it. The problem is that they have a tendency to be closed mouthed about their plans.
I bought a 2.5 GBE router, to replace my elderly and difficult USG, and was about to buy a 2.5 GBE WAP - there was a problem with them having issues with only one chipset inside the first version, so I didn’t pull the trigger immediately. Within a month there was a 10 GBE WAP being sold. A 10 GBE Router appear soon after. Damn.
The only viable alternative, IMHO, is pfsense (mostly US users) and opensense (not US users) and you need your own hardware.
I run my Gateway without a UI login, a local account. I lose some of the features, but that’s ok with me.
