To this date I still haven't found a product that is pro-consumer.
I WANT one of these smaller devices, they're efficient, they're cheap. I don't want to use x86 for my networking stack.
But I want them without an OS layer from anybody. I don't want to have to configure them through a website which distills dnsmasq's 8 options into 3 checkboxes on a website, none of which actually do what I want.
Ubiquity is nice, nice devices, and their UI is actually really nice. But what isn't in there just isn't possible.
You can't for example redirect DNS traffic to another IP.
You can't disable DHCPv6 (i.e. only use SLAAC) when doing IPv6-PD.
You can't disable broadcasting an IPv6 DNS when doing DHCPv6.
Synology:
When using SLAAC (Stateless) they still distribute the DNS via DHCPv6, but don't set the right tags. iOS picks up on the address, Windows does not.
But worse, you can't SET the DNS address, so it broadcasts the router's DNS, which isn't what you want when you have AdGuard / PiHole somewhere else.
Setting domains per network doesn't work. Last one wins.
Stateless does not require rDNS, nor DHCPv6. I have not found any router that supports this.
And neither Synology or Ubiquity support DD-WRT / OpenWRT.
And when you contact Synology with these bugs the first thing they do is ask access to your box to ... tinker around? WTF?
