I do not understand this comment. Ubiquiti sells turn key HW and there never was any hint that this was HW you could roll you own on. I could buy APs that I could install OpenWRT. I could setup an OpenBSD firewall. I could run my own DNS. I have done all this in the past. The point is I do not want to anymore. I have better things to do with my time. So as a turn key solution that is "prosumer" their kit works and I think you will find that is why most people here have recommend it. You can disable the Cloud connection and I posted how in this thread. People on HN are tech savvy enough I sort that part. The fact of the matter is they had a bad security breach and they have a cloud connected platform. Ops. That sucks. But the reality is that market forces have pretty much tied evaluations to cloud connections and telemetry gathered from it. That is the part that REALLY sucks. I do not blame them for trying to make money. I am angry if they were less then truthful in the details of the breach and I am sure both the SEC and the court of public option with punish them. For my part, I have no plans to replace the 4 switches in my house with boxes running SONiC nor the 4 APs with OpenWRT or my firewall with OpenBSD because I just really do not care to have to maintain it, and if I drop dead tomorrow my wife can likely sort the UniFi stuff (as I have documentation on the setup) but there is no way could she sort the roll you own.
