I wasn't aware that the Unifi stuff was vulnerable to the latest VPN stuff. I own a few ER-Xs and a Unifi AP. They're reasonable kit, but I wouldn't recommend them at all as a set it and forget it system.

- Ubiquiti has a track record of GPL violations (e.g. u-boot which dovetails nicely with a security vuln)

- The Unifi AP is tolerable for a simple home env but not much else.

- Ubiquiti support is non-existent. They basically slapped a slick GUI on Vyatta and resold it. It's nice, but they don't have much in the way of developers. So, for instance, they still haven't fixed the hardware acceleration bugs in the ER-X or the WPA2 enterprise issues in the Unifi AP.

- Ubiquiti hardware itself is hit and miss. The ER-L, for instance, is known to overheat and cook itself to death. There was a mixup with some of the PoE stuff (UBNT historically used non-standard PoE) meaning you're not entirely sure what's in the box.

UBNT hardware cheap and you can hack on it, so that's nice. But, being aimed at professionals and actually suitable for professionals are two separate issues.

I'm looking for something to update to. If not Unifi, then what brand would you recommend that would be suitable for home use by a professional, that can be updated and has good support?

Get an apu2 [0] from pcengines and slap OpenBSD on it (or Linux, if you prefer).
