I jumped from a Turris Omnia to Unifi kit after the Turris broke during an update (sorry, I need my stuff to work all the time). Funnily enough I miss it, but the decision to use knot as the resolver is very, very strange. The Omnia is based on the Espressobin, which is also worth looking at.

Did you tried it, is it worth it?

I still have mine, but the software didn't support the IPv6 mode I needed (6rd) and ended up getting an ASUS RT-AC3200.

What's the use for these kinds of wireless networks? I've seen wireless networks in big campuses before and it's just a bunch of APs that sit on their own VLAN that talk back to a controller sitting a telco closet somewhere else. They just plug into the wall so the only wireless part is the connection between the user and the AP but these kinds of things seem like they are meant for a different use case.
Rural broadband, primarily. Places where there is no DOCSIS3/3.1 coax cable, beyond any reasonable copper loop length for ADSL2+ or VDSL2 over old POTS phone wiring, and the only other option is a small satellite terminal. There's hundreds of WISPs all over the US operating in their own little pockets of service area. Rural parts of eastern Oregon and nothern Idaho for instance. High degree of venn diagram overlap wi…

ubnt's devices are not that expensive and may be the easy way out, unless you really want to do all the firmware testing, equipment in a water-proof enclosure etc. Plus this project is in lack of a web GUI to manage the nodes, you have to use CLI to do that, might be hard to find qualified IT workers in remote areas.
I also agree that point-to-point, or point-to-multipoint might be a better, simpler and more robust way to service the remote areas via wifi.
