I'm still using an old UC Gateway, doubt my homelab will outgrow it.
I decommissioned mine, I had it and to access points. When I moved, I replaced it with a dream machine se pro. I really wanted DPI and IDS at my full internet speed. I strongly considered just throwing a bunch of their access points up and crafting a firewall out of a PC. Run ntopng on it. In the end the sweet siren song of a cohesive, single interface, completely managed network won out.
@rumba @ruffsl never underestimate the lure of a single pane of glass approach
Time, metrics, I have 7 access points, if one starts getting high noise, I get a message and can move it. If I want to put my TV on it's own vlan, I can see what switch it's on and what port, change the vlan from my phone in a handful of clicks
Updates, backups. For their issues, they also have a lot of creature comforts.
I ran Cisco for years. I spent more time on Cisco in most week than I have post setup on unifi and uniform has more features.
I've got Unifi Network installed in a container on my home server. I have also an custom-built router, because it is much more powerful than any appliance and does not cost as much.
