Afaik performance will be abysmal on edge router series as the npu isn't used.
From firsthand experience: performance is in fact awesome on the edgerouters (4, 6, 8, and 12) using plain-vanilla Linux. It's a big honking MIPS chip with firehose connections to the ethernet PHYs. Precisely the kind of device you want for a router.

I keep seeing the requests for central management interface, which leave me somewhat puzzled. Why do you need in a home environment? I run a small network with one big router and several access points, and at least with Mikrotik's gear, it's pretty much fire and forget. It has CAPsMAN[1] to centrally manage wireless networks, but I've found it to introduce unneeded complexity. Auto-updates[2] don't need any central m…
I have a good deal of experience with Mikrotik's offerings, and I am not looking to power networks I support with a patchwork of different systems that each have their own interface. Most of the value proposition of the Unifi lineup is I can look at a single website that I host and see the WiFi clients connected to an access point, what switch feeds that access point internet (and whether its linked at gigabit or 100…

It's also why we're talking about this.

That would be the reverse of the usual strategy, wouldn't it? Most companies seem to try to pin breaches on sophisticated hacker groups backed by nation states. But then, they benefit from the perception of a threat that's impossible to defend from (so there wasn't anything they could do) - whereas Ubiquiti benefits from people thinking the attack was just a small actor that couldn't possibly threaten Ubiquiti's cust…

They might as well come out and say they have well-developed evidence that the perpetrator has an IQ over 50.

I want to fire Ubiquiti, but where can I go to get my router, wireless access points and switches in one management interface? There are plenty of poorly performing consumer grade options out there which hide all complexity, but they break in fun ways (eg: Google WiFi creating loops in the network when users try to do wired backhaul) and only tackle part of the stack. I really just want to manage an OpenWRT based net…

Crap wifi was a huge thing I dealt with. Unifi fixed that completely. The ability to run a relatively complex network (by home network standards) with multi access points is nice, but the ability to administer them without CLI interface is great. I loved my edge router but touched it with trepidation. It was rock solid except when I was sucking with it. Unifi suits/suited the enthusiastic amateur.

Unifi used to be too, with an interface that was a bit difficult to navigate (settings spread among about 20 tabs, but it was possible to get the job done without sshing to components).
Now it’s flakey. I just rebuilt my last week which was working fine but I couldn’t log in and the UDM-P screen said it required resetting. Dark times.

Damn, that's pretty depressing. I really wouldn't like to migrate away but I can't say all the info that's been coming back has been making me want to have them as a part of my network infrastructure.
During this week I've been playing around with replacing my USG with my existing home server - it already has two NICs - my first thought was to run OPNSense in a VM but nftables on NixOS seems to work well enough - there are a few examples floating online [0,1]. OpenBSD even supports the USG [2] but I couldn't think of much reason to keep the extra hardware. The next thing I want to do is reflash my Unifi APs with O…
I like this idea too, but would prefer that the router was physically separated and before any hardware that was in the network.
Is this a pointless concern?
So, what happens now? Will Ubiquiti be held to task, by anyone?
Clearly the market exists for what they’re offering. I am surprised at the serious lack of alternatives.

It's disappointing to see a breach like this and even more disappointing to see what (at least on the surface) appears to be a lackadaisical response. At someone who runs a UniFi network in my home with just 4 pieces of hardware (gateway, wired switch, and 2 PoE WAPs) I'm really curious if there are solid alternatives for a managed home network. UniFi really hit a sweet spot of price/performance that made it a somewh…
I've heard good things about TP-Link's Omada series. Their controller even looks like a clone of Unifi's
