> I keep seeing the requests for central management interface, which leave me somewhat puzzled. Why do you need in a home environment?

Crap wifi was a huge thing I dealt with. Unifi fixed that completely. The ability to run a relatively complex network (by home network standards) with multi access points is nice, but the ability to administer them without CLI interface is great. I loved my edge router but touched it with trepidation. It was rock solid except when I was sucking with it. Unifi suits/suited the enthusiastic amateur.

Unifi used to be too, with an interface that was a bit difficult to navigate (settings spread among about 20 tabs, but it was possible to get the job done without sshing to components).

Now it’s flakey. I just rebuilt my last week which was working fine but I couldn’t log in and the UDM-P screen said it required resetting. Dark times.
