What possibly could you even be talking about? Networking gear already works together due to standards.

LEGOs fit together because they have standards. That doesn’t mean they self-assemble.

Networking can be complex. Standards allow interoperability but they do not magically make everything work with no configuration.

You still would need to know how networking fundamentals and how network protocols work.

Just because standards like DNS, NAT64, OSPF, ARP, etc, exist doesn't means its easy to get these things to communicate.

Ubiquiti isn't exactly known for being the best in terms of standard adherence, especially with their historically week IPv6 support.
