I’m currently using Eero https://eero.com/ for my home network, as it mostly works well and is easy for my partner to enable and disable our kids devices at bedtime etc. The interface is quite slow, and I worry about being so cloud and Amazon dependant.

I’m wondering if there’s a local-only, ideally open, alternative? Most alternatives eg Ubiquiti seem to be becoming cloud based, and the likes of open wrt isn’t very partner-friendly.

Is there a middle ground? My requirements are modest, just a few wireless access points plus a handful of wired devices. Internet is max 1 gigabit.

    That’s something I will look into. I could have a simple network stack and use pihole to manage access. I was thinking in terms of a single solution, but perhaps this is a better alternative.
