It's my understanding that now ubiquiti used to be a good company/solution, but they ruined that recently by introducing a lot of "phoning home"-like "features" for their routers. Given that the tech group is almost always more privacy/security oriented than typical, and that's Ubiquiti's target audience, it was a very poor choice on their part and probably removed a significant portion of their customers.
Perhaps the solution that the tech-oriented crowd will move to now is just making things from scratch, I haven't seen the clear consensus on it yet.

My parents replaced the Ubiqitis themselves when they started having issues I wasn't there to fix, with some no-name Amazon wifi APs. MAC address manufacturer lookup just said "Shenzhen." Plugged in, and they worked.
