      As opposed to, TP-Link, Cisco(Linksys) and other off the shelf routers it seems some will only go for brands with their own proprietary firmware?

      I grabbed that Xiaomi router on the premise it has OpenWRT, but I’d like to see Ubi / Unifi routers put under the same scrutiny instead of just lumping a brand name as a no-go.

      What’s your recommendation?

        Mine was a half-joke, but it’s not the first time chinese hardware was caught sending data around. Now I can’t recommend anything specific since the last time I bought a router was ages ago, and even though having one running OpenWRT is good I’d avoid it to be on the safer side.
