Trying to setup a new and better network in the house. Ditching my ISP router because its just a mess and I want better security.

I keep being suggested Unifi as a setup. Its pricey but I am told its well worth the cost.

My main concern is the privacy side.

How reputable is Ubiquity when it comes to handling data? Any ideas?

    I’m not sure what all data they get if you self-host their controller. I’m pretty sure you don’t have to make a unifi cloud account at setup, you can make a local one. You can turn off the collection of diagnostic data at setup. Now that’s not to say they don’t send it anyway,

      they send it anyways; or atleast they used to circa 2020.

      i did packet captures while evaluating their hardware back then for work and they always phone home no matter what you do.
