Ubiquiti has a consumer/prosumer brand now called Amplifi. I set it up at my parents' and it was a breeze. It's adapted well to some strange network situations they had. (A long story but they moved in to a place with an ancient audio LAN wired through the home and we explored various configurations of detaching portions of the audio LAN for WiFi backhaul.)

Does Amplifi require some cloud login before you can use it? One of my annoyances recently is that the WiFi providers have an iOS app but require you to log into their servers to configure the thing on your local network.

It's been a couple months since I set it up, but as I recall Amplifi did not require an account to set up your mesh.

It offered an optional "cloud" account system for remote administration (such as giving guest access when you are away or rebooting your mesh from your phone when your guest complains about the network not working, and so forth), but did not require it.

That's good to know and I'll definitely check that out when it comes time to recommend something for some of my less technically inclined friends and family.
