Got rid of Ubiquiti and the breach was just a footprint. Personally I'm really happy with Mikrotik. I do not recommend it if networking is not your thing and you just want some plug and play. So far I love it, wifi performance is better to me than unifi but that has many dimensions (I care most about reliability and low latency), plus it allowed me to have 10Gbe at a reasonable price.
It's still closed source, but if you're a bit paranoid then OpenWRT does not solve your problems (re some other comment). Switch chips are computers on their own and you have no control over them. I would be really really surprised if they don't have tons of adventures in them. Reacting to magic packets or even something that may not be visible to L3 sniffer seems trivial to implement in ASIC. Firmware of network cards is also something outside your control.
Long story short, I would suggest starting to treat your local network as if it was public Internet. E2E, firewalls, honeypots (obscure ones) and backups. I mean, if you care, perfectly fine not to, life's short.
