I would have expected something with Atheros, they were known to be FOSS friendly. but yeah, I didn’t encounter such chip for a while now. I don’t mind too much the drivers are closed sources - even though Broadcom is known to be a pain in the ass - as long as the “OS” and control software are opensource.

many thanks all and especially @SmoochPooch@lemmy.world I didn’t know that Ubiquiti APs could be “jailbroken”. Hopefully, I have never upgraded those :)

Not opensource, I don’t want to install their stuff on my smartphone (bluetooth and position required) or need a VM. I am not fond of leaving such blackbox devices on my network which needs cloud! EDIT: OH and I remember the issue with the control software due to MangoDB drama.

It is used for now on guest only network, sure I use Wireguard on top but still, find it annoying. And tbh, it has been suggested and the to-go solution but I notice that people are just blindly recommending what they read chatty techie’s blogs.

thanks @Palitu!

seems not much. for sure, you should avoid fosscam! pure shit

kudos pal!

cloud is overrated.
