Huh, this is news to me but seems to check out from my Googling. I've really been enjoying the Ubiquiti ecosystem and was considering a UNAS to replace my Seagate NAS.
- walrus01 1mo agoI've been following ubiquiti since the days of 802.11a based radio bridges (and then 802.11n based stuff like the powerbridge m5), it's an exceedingly frustrating company to rely on doing anything serious with.
- ksec 1mo ago802.11a is from 2000. That is 26 years ago! Has there been any major issues with them in the past 5 years?
- walrus01 1mo agoWhat I meant was, that prior to about 2012, they put a solid and honest effort into building useful networking equipment for people. Then after that ubnt pivoted to mass market consumer goods. The 802.11a and n stuff was solid. In the past 5 to 7 years they have abandoned a number of entire product lines and left the people running it hanging, with no way to purchase replacement parts, or keep a system running.
