@lexinova @buyeuropean@feddit.uk @buyeuropean@mastodon.social @mikrotik I finally removed my last Unifi device last year and am not looking back.I was trying to decide the same, but went with MikroTik since I wanted a solution that covered all my network gear. I also didn't want either US or Non-NATO based solutions. I've been very happy with my choice. Just be careful with the APs. There are US-only models floating around on Ebay. If you buy those, you will get locked out of usable bands.

@lexinova @buyeuropean@feddit.uk @buyeuropean@mastodon.social @mikrotik I'll let Microtik field this question for their side, but this is actually one of the major reasons I started moving away from Ubiquiti. Ubiquiti's support for many for their Edgerouter products seemed very hit or miss only after a few years. They would technically receive security updates, but little to nothing else.
