Really sad to see.

I still see no realistic alternative for the "distributed decent wifi at a reasonably SMB scale" wireless product though. Miraki I guess is as close as it gets, but then you are locked in 100% cloud and it's certainly not remotely the same price point.

I am relegating Unify to manage my APs and (some) switches for ease of use - while I enjoy CLI fun, it gets old doing routine stuff the for the 100th time.

Hopefully another company really steps up in this space, because I can't imagine having to go back to the dark days of individually managed APs and all that.

OpenWISP has been mentioned elsewhere on this page.

Meraki go is their direct unifi competitor.

Trouble is the firewall in the Meraki Go Gateway only does 250Mbps - bit crap if you've got gigabit fibre to the house

Yeah but that is something unifi only recently fixed with the dream machine. The standard unifi security gateway mazes out below 100 megabit if ips and ids is enabled.
