My small brain doesn't comprehend why I care about paying employee's transportation to work enough that spending more $ on top of a simple charger make sense.

V3 is available for the UDMP now. I turned on the ad blocking check box. Gets 63% on this test: https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html

I want to ditch my UDM and go with something else.

Just a UDM Base. But I'd need to pick something up to replace it before I could let it go.

curious to hear what wifi setup you are looking to go, been tempted to play with ubiquiti for a while but pretty happy with my upgrade from asus aimesh wifi5 to tp-link onemesh wifi6. crappy thing with onemesh is that it doesnt support ethernet backhaul but even without extenders, the tp-link ax73 covers our whole house already

I am still struck at 2.5.17.

Wifi will still be Unifi access points, but the router will be something else. Unifi OS is pretty limiting in weird ways. I want to run Vyos or OPNsense. Like I can't run split DNS, the mDNS reflector doesn't actually work, and a bunch of other issues that are limiting my homelab.

Oh, I am on the RC path. Mostly like Golden Master for Apple. EA is too flaky for me, but RC has been pretty good. Also, I always wait a week or so before installing RC and look at the comments from people on the "Community"

If you want fancy DNS, you should run a proper DNS server.

@rage2 , when are you going to start up a review business like Toms' hardware

If you look at archive.org at the first incarnation of beyond.ca you’ll find a news aggregator and review blog that was years ahead of its time.

We had wholesalers that lent us hardware for reviews.

OPNsense FTW. There's a github project to make installing the unifi controller a breeze.

I'd just run the controller on my k8s cluster, or just in docker on an RPi. I'm leaning more towards Vyos right now.

Have you guys tried the 6.5.x AP firmware? I finally reluctantly updated from 6.2.x after 2 official releases, and all my 2.4ghz devices were flaking out. Most notably, any HomeKit devices kept losing connectivity, Nest cams would have random drop outs for 10-20 mins losing recordings. 5Ghz traffic was fine tho. Rolled back to the latest 6.2.49 and everything went back to normal.

Seems to be a serious issue with 2.4Ghz stability, but don't see anyone actually talking about it. The firmware I was on was 6.5.32
