I've had two UAP AC AP Lite access points for 8 years now. After fooling with WiFi for so long before, Unifi was just a "set and forget" kind of solution.

Two days ago, the repo signature for the Debian unifi network controller became a pain point for apt, or apt started not being OK with it, or whatever.

Since I was on the fence about putting openwrt on these for a while, I took it as a sign and finally did it.

No more roaming problems, strong signal, responsive performance, wtf??... I'm not buying any more ubiquiti overpriced garbage. If it won't run an open platform like openwrt, it's not going into my infra.

That is all.
