I recently bought a TP-Link Omada ceiling mountable access point, which has been working great. My Ubiqiti APs are due for an upgrade and the Omada (for a separate network), at half the price of roughly equivalent Ubiqiti APs, is impressing me so far.
(The Ubiqiti's have been rock solid for years though, no complaints whoatsoever).
Netgear (US) and D-Link (Taiwan) were consistently disappointmenting enough that I swore off them many years ago, and buyers-remorse-PTSD prevents me from reconsidering them ever again.
I've found the ubiquiti devices to be somewhat overly complex and generally overkill for all home-networks I've ever used them for. All the graphs and stuff tickles a nerdy nerve somewhere in me, but honestly I can get equally stable networks for less than a quarter of the price, but without all the fancy bells and whistles that I only enjoy four about 2 hours after installing anyway
The ones i have were purchased back when Ubiquiti was trying to gain market share and get their name out there, so it didn't have the more premium price tag it enjoys now. The setup was complex, but I'm a bit masochistic like that, but I also needed device roaming to work properly and, however Ubiquiti achieved it, it has worked really well for me for a long time.
I only just logged in to the controller interface yesterday again after probably six months or so, when I was checking in to see if there were firmware updates. Once it's setup there's very little maintenance, but the initial setup can be intimidating.
I was thinking - wonder if anyone in Trump's inner circle took at short position on TP-Link before this? There's a lot of people who seem to have amazing insights into policy positions the US government is about to take.
