I'm curious what people are doing for home WiFi.
I've looked at Calix, Plume, and other big name systems. They're all
pretty awesome, but the recurring cost is a little tough to swallow.
I don't like Mikrotik for this purpose because A) no central management
unless you write your own and B) it's daunting for new techs to learn
some basic things like port forwarding or switching to bridge mode. I
mean it's nice that the Mikrotik can do everything, but a port
forwarding rule doesn't need to be that hard.
With Ubiquiti they have a bunch of different products with diverging
target markets. Hard to get a handle on what I would want. I do like
that UNMS is available for free. I don't like that AmpliFi isn't
supported in UNMS, and honestly the pricetag on the Mesh nodes is a bit
high ($100+). The AirCube models seem about right, but I wish it had a
couple of features from AmpliFi. UniFi is a nice system and AFAIK the
only UBNT thing with zero touch provisioning, but it's not convenient
for many individual networks on the controller. I guess I feel like
they have 3 different product lines that are each almost right, but they
couldn't quite bring it all together.
Cambium CnPilot with CnMaestro ticks most of my check boxes, but
(correct me if I'm wrong) I don't think they make a mesh/repeater type
of unit.
I guess I could look at ReadyNet again. I can't remember why I didn't
run with them earlier.
What is the Borg using for home WiFi to sell as a service?
