I bought one of their entry level wifi routers and was completely unable to configure it without first setting up an account on their cloud service and using that to activate the router. Maybe it's possible, but if it is they hid it very well. I know their hardware tends to get good reviews, but the whole experience left a really bad taste in my mouth

I bet this was between 2018 and 2022? Yeah, that used to be the case, not anymore though, there's literally a big fat "Setup Console Offline"-button on the latest firmwares (since at least a year back I want to say), if you somehow find one with older firmware you can simply boot it into recovery mode and update firmware before setting it up for use.
