Not the person you replied to, but I like Aruba Instant On.

Hmm, that looks like it must be centrally managed from the internet? Not saying it's not an appropriate replacement for Ubiquiti, but that seems like an opportunity for the same issues to show up… something that isn't remotely managed might be better instead.

I think the "InstantOn" functionality requires internet for setting up, but it seems like there is a way to manage it locally without the use of the "InstantOn" functionality:

Some more discussion here from years ago:

Although, I imagine this type of stuff may not be made to work well without internet.

Thanks! So it sounds like it may work, but it's very unclear it'll keep working. (Also I happened to be more personally interested in the APs rather than switches, and it's unclear if that also has a local management mode.)

I notice that the linked docs article doesn't get listed if you go up the breadcrumb and try to go back down…

Looks good but lacks layer 3 and fiber aggregation switches which we use in our SMB.
