Just like the operating system on your computer & cell phone, you can change the software running on your router.

    I agree. Back in the day I used to run DD-WRT on a cheap $75 router to get features you’d only get on $200+ routers, but now a days I think there’s better options. UniFi for example is great if you don’t mind spending a bit extra. Otherwise I’d rather just use PfSense.

      Same here! These days I have less time for tinkering and enjoy everything behind the Unifi “pane of glass”.

        Same. I just don’t have as much time to troubleshoot things when stuff goes wrong these days.

          It makes wifi! I’d say that stability and performance are probably identical. I don’t especially mistrust Ubiquiti, but running open source feels nice, and it gives me nerd cred.
