While I will say that our Ubiquiti AP seems to work, configuring it was hell. It involved the management app installing its own nginx instance on my laptop, and then it makes a weird differentiation where if something's a guest network it asks what URL you want to redirect them to when they connect, but if it's not a guest network it doesn't have client isolation. (I eventually found the tickbox to enable it on a non-guest network, it had some weird Ubiquiti-specific name). It was just an ongoing series of problems.

I've been meaning to give out different DNS servers via DHCP on the guest network vs the internal but I just can't face trying to configure that thing again.

I'm glad you're happy with yours but replacing mine with Mikrotik kit is super high on my home-network todo list.




My ubiquiti UAP-Lite was great, until it became flakey. I swapped it for an ancient router that supported an old build of ddwrt, and everything wireless started working again.

Retrospectively I think the ubiquiti AP’s flakiness was caused by a firmware update. This Reddit post is ~2 years old:

I’ve been meaning to do a hard reset and/or change the firmware, and put the ubiquiti AP back into service, but the old & slow ddwrt router works fine for everything not an Ethernet cable.
