OpenWRT supports that.

Though you'll probably end up with Atheros wifi chipset on modern hardware... and I've found the OpenWRT drivers to be extremely unreliable when providing multiple SSIDs--- crashing every few days instead of weeks of uptime. I keep hoping that one of the OpenWRT snapshots will fix it, but this is something I've been fighting with for years on multiple pieces of hardware.

I bought a Linksys WRT3200ACM specifically for use with OpenWRT after a bunch of research. It's modern hardware and based on Marvell, not Atheros. I don't have lots of SSIDs, but I do have separate 5G and 2.4G SSIDs, and they're working well enough.

As a former Ubiquiti employee, I'm sad to watch the slow decline of the company. There was a steady exodus of engineering talent through 2020. The CEO was focused on moving to countries where engineering was cheaper and employees complained less about constant crunch mode. If you search around, you can find interviews where he brags about closing the San Jose office because he thought everyone there was too entitled.…

Appreciate this. I’ve been recommending Ubiquiti to family and friends for a while and have noticed the decrease in quality and features recently.

Not sure where to go next, but it probably won’t be Ubiquiti.

I bought a Unifi Dream Machine last year because it was an all-in-one device that seemed like the simplest way to have multiple VLANs on my home network, in order to segregate my IoT devices and security system from the rest of my home network. At the time, I didn't see any similar products. Are there any other "prosumer"-type devices on the market that could replace a Dream Machine? If Unifi is going downhill it doe…

Something from Mikrotik, perhaps a hAP AC2? I'm a big fan of RouterOS for a home/prosumer use-case (I used a hEX myself)

I think Mikrotik would be great as well. I'm currently running a RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN and a RBcAPGi-5acD2nD-US (the cAP ac).

What do you mean? What was going on at Ubiquity?

I think he's implying people in Silicon Valley are often entitled, and he's not wrong. Which is pretty hard to disagree with.

Workers should be allowed to share the fruits of the labor instead of having a rent seeker exploit them and steal it all.

I’m not sure how it is that they still don’t have a hardware update to the USG3P that can enable both IPS and DPI without throttling network speeds to sub-80Mbps speeds. It’s been years now.

I’m a big fan of the ecosystem and I’ve recommended it to many people but I’m constantly astonished by the slow pace of hardware updates.

I still haven't received one, I'll update this comment if I do. -edit- I just received it at 2:42 pm pst

i haven't got an email yet either

Finally got it too (aprox 4pm PST).

Make sure you turn off Remote access in your device.

Probably can leave on local login (w/Ubiquiti acct) but should turn on 2FA

Have suggestions for an alternative? Most web UIs are garbage but the Ubiquiti one looks fine, even if it is cloud based.

I run the webcrap in a docker in a VM: https://hub.docker.com/r/jacobalberty/unifi/

PSA: with Mailchimp URLs, it's best to remove the `?e=xxx` URL parameter. That way, A) you can't be identified by the sender as the person who shared the email, and B) other people can't flood your inbox by clicking the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of the email. In this case, the cleaned URL that should have been posted is https://mailchi.mp/ubnt/account-notification

Good call! This just keeps getting better, sharing the URL is such a natural thing to do but of course they need to add the tracking parameters to everything.

Nothing worse than working for a shitlord.

I hope things are better now.
