Just like the operating system on your computer & cell phone, you can change the software running on your router.

    I agree. Back in the day I used to run DD-WRT on a cheap $75 router to get features you’d only get on $200+ routers, but now a days I think there’s better options. UniFi for example is great if you don’t mind spending a bit extra. Otherwise I’d rather just use PfSense.

      Same here! These days I have less time for tinkering and enjoy everything behind the Unifi “pane of glass”.

        Same. I just don’t have as much time to troubleshoot things when stuff goes wrong these days.

        Chaotic neutral move. Nice.

        In all seriousness, how is it?

          It makes wifi! I’d say that stability and performance are probably identical. I don’t especially mistrust Ubiquiti, but running open source feels nice, and it gives me nerd cred.
