I was just about to shell out $2k on unifi equipment for my home but after reading this discussion it's sounding like a much worse proposition. Sadly, it doesn't seem like there's a solid competitor either. Mikrotik seems like more complication than I want or need. I'm now looking into TP-Link Omada, but the entire point was to move away from consumer gear. Sigh. I guess I'll just keep making do with my old Orbi Netgear setup for now.

Same here. Unify at least is a US based company, less spying than Chinese TP-link. Would prefer the solid quality, absolute privacy and long term support of AVM Fritzboxes but they don’t have the form factors nor ease of management that Unify (or TP-Link?) offers.
