Does anyone have a recommendation for a replacement? After the requirement to create a cloud account on their so-called "Pro" Dream Machine I already felt something is wrong, and after "Please don't use shielded Ethernet cables with our so-called "Professional" WiFi Access Points, they can randomly reboot"[1] and now this nonsense, I'm just simply done with them. But I really like the hardware of the Dream Machine Pro (Router, Switch with 10G uplink) and the overall view of clients and connected devices, so I don't just want to buy some random Router and pair it with random WiFi APs - though I guess that's the best choice?

There is no requirement to create a cloud account on the Pro machine.

  There used to be a mandatory ui.com account when it came out. If they finally got rid of that nonsense, that's great news. And yeah, looks like the v1.1 update removed it (https://community.ui.com/releases/UniFi-OS-Dream-Machines-1-11-0/eef95803-6976-499b-9169-bf6dfbbcc209 https://community.ui.com/releases/UniFi-OS-Dream-Machines-1-...): "Allow to set up a console without an SSO account." The fact that they decided to release a "Pro" product with that requirement initially still counts heavily against them: What were they thinking, and why should I trust them if they are making such decisions?
