I have a few unifi things at home, and for the most part, they've been good, and work well together. But this sort of stuff is very concerning, and forcing the cloud account on everyone is really stupid.
But what are the alternatives. Firewalla seems to be a good alternative, but they don't do APs, leaving me with a mixed system.
- elteto 3y agoUsing the cloud is not required, you can set everything up with local access. Certain products, like Protect, do require cloud access. But not the base networking stuff.
- latentcall 3y agoI use a Firewalla with TP-Link Omada AP’s, works great. Don’t really mind the mixed system aspect. Recommend!
- awill 3y agowhy not use an Omada gateway/router too?
- apearson 3y agoFrom I remember Firewalla (app only) is more dependent on the cloud than Unifi

- zzzeek 3y agoim running unifi here and I've never dealt with any of this cloud stuff, there's a checkbox called "enable remote access" that defaulted to false for mine and I'd never check that box, so hopefully it's not actually "forced" ?
