Folks - I need help.

I bought the UDR7 router during the Black Friday sale just to see what the hype was about and since then I’ve already placed multiple orders for hundreds of dollars of equipment. As we speak I have a cart full of over a thousand dollars more equipment that I’m on the cusp of submitting and and there is no end in sight.

If there is anyone out there who can talk me out of this rabbit hole I fear this may be the last chance for salvation

My name is ccunning and I’m a Unifi-holic…

Go for Mikrotik.

    I had to upgrade my EdgeRouterX when I got gig fiber. I kept the Ubiquiti APs, I really like their management interface. But I replaced the router with a Mikrotik RB4011iGS+ because I thought it had a better feature set than the equivalent UBNT and was half the price.

    Pretty much any mikrotik is a fantastic piece of kit to have.
    It is so unbelievably versatile.
    I love the various mikrotik routers, switches and APs I have. I use them all the time for little ad-hoc networks and projects and stuff.
    You will learn a lot about networking when using them.

    But Unifi is a hell of a lot easier to use, and I have not found anything I can't do on unifi (but I don't do bgp, mlag, etc at home).

    @WeAreAllOne @ccunning If it sways the decision any, Mikrotik has a Fediverse presence. They have both Mastodon and PeerTube and are active on both (aka not just spam posting duplicate posts from other platforms while ignoring replies like some others)What other company is going in on the Fediverse?
