Review on Ubiquiti UniFi AC Lite AP - Dual 2-Pack Bundle - Wireless Access Point - 802.11 B/A/G/n/AC (UAPACLITEUS) by Kevin Webb

I can't trust Ubiquiti anymore

Shortly after purchasing these wifi hotspots, a software update from Ubiquiti called home and shared my information without my consent. Not being able to turn down Ubiquiti's decision was a PR nightmare that you can read about elsewhere. As a result, I flashed them with OpenWRT. With OpenWRT these are excellent open source entry points and I get a web interface on each router with no management software required. For a home setup, this works better for me. The OpenWRT features, while not as easy to set up, are definitely more powerful, and once set up I wouldn't run anything else on these APs. I wanted to love Ubiquiti but they just made it impossible. With OpenWRT I get mesh, roaming, VLAN and they all work great with pfSense and a few managed switches.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • There are flaws
