I'm fortunate in that I only use it when I update firmware or something like that, 1-2 times a year.
If they were to sell the software as a service, wouldn't $9.99/year be enough? I know they can't make any ad money from the ads I (won't) see.

for wireless AP's? It really depends. I actually just went with Wave2 stuff. In the end i bought some UAP-AC-HD's because 1. I am familiar/setup to handle their quirks and had 99% of the setup already done. 2. I really wanted an AP with Dual 5Ghz AND dual 2.4 Ghz dedicated antennas for some very specific applications (multiple rtsp streams over wifi+client plex wifi streams+client traffic. With the first two largely…
> Id go with a ruckus. the r700 unleashed and/or r500 unleashed This is the problem with Ubiquiti, and maybe why they feel they can advertise in their UI and let their quality slip: a new r710 lists for $1295. That's almost four times as much as a UAP-AC-HD. On sale for $810 it's still over twice as much. Some of the Ubiquiti WiFi 6 stuff can be had for $100-150. Like, yeah, I'm sure Ruckus is way better, but I'd hop…

Building your own router with pfSense is one prosumer solution I've considered, by shied away from due to lack of time[1]. Not sure how a pfSense setup would work with wireless APs though. [1] https://www.pcgamer.com/i-built-my-own-super-router-out-of-o...
pfSense might have a lot of features, but the UI is terrible in all possible ways. They should stop letting their programmers "design" the UI; dumping the raw database into an HTML table is not a good user interface.

This.If I’m gonna have to waste time and effort to block my network gear sending its spy data back home, and blocking ads it tries to show, why wouldn’t I just do that on much cheaper throwaway Chinese hardware? I’m much more likely to buy stuff like TPLink gear that can be flashed with OpenWRT, or jump feet first into Mikrotik gear - than ever spend more money on Ubiquity’s modern shitware...
Try a used WRT1200AC, it has an extremely powerful ARM processor, and is super stable. I'm getting >500Mbit over 5GHz on a 2x2 antenna setup.
every 3-6 hours the wifi just died and had to be again force rebooted.
will not touch linksys again. they're a consumer brand, and my requirements are clearly SMB.
imo their best product was the WRT54GL.
FTFY
You lost your life's savings to a Ponzi scam advertised on Facebook? Sue Facebook for damages. There should be laws in place that allow it.
This would fix the problem instantly.
I think it's a common sentiment here, but I'm turning into a more extreme anti-advertising zealot every day. Even the large ad networks show paid content that violates what I would consider widespread ethical norms - presenting everything from hyperbolic claims to straight fraud to people with little repercussion. I'm reminded of a poignant example in television, where episodes of Jeopardy! are intertwined with their…
It seems like you're mixing advertising = fraud, when in reality it's just people who commit fraud that use advertising because regulators can't seem to act.
Samsung does the same. https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/co5aw4/unrem...
