Good product for me, no problems at all.

The fact that these points require a separate proprietary router or a server with controller software is neither a disadvantage nor an advantage. For me, it's more convenient to ate the software and configure everything centrally. I think that most of those who have grown to such hardware already have a server for installing the controller on the farm. On the other hand, this creates a risk that in case of problems with the manufacturer, software support will be terminated and the use of access points will become problematic.

Pros

1. Range - I replaced two home routers with two such points - the signal is excellent in all corners of the house, despite the walls. It was much worse. 2. Customization options. I made a guest network without a password with a reduced speed and without access to the home server, set up flexible monitoring, divided the network segments (local area / guests / cameras / TV / control) by VLANs . well, yes, in home networks such features are mainly used enthusiasts :) , but it turned out to be very useful for me. 3. Powered by PoE and neutral design allows you to hang not from the ceiling, but from the ceiling outside. Looks good without cables/sockets.

Cons

1. The PoE standard is unusual, I can’t power it from the D-Link switch I have with PoE support, I have to hang bundled adapters nearby or buy additional ones. adapter. 2. Installing the Unifi Controller on an existing server (Ubuntu) took some time to google the causes of the problems and solve them (the main culprit in the headache is MongoDB).
