    I’d personally hope they just force open sourcing their firmwares if they want to stay in the market. I really like my Omada stuff, ubiquiti is just a tough pill to swallow on price.

      They (FCC) forced firmwares being signed so nobody can install their own on the off chance it unlocks TX power or frequencies not allowed by FCC.

        Can’t say I’ve ever seen an example of signed firmware that didn’t exist to further exploit the working class.

        They should undo this and just prosecute people who abuse the firmware

        I recently bought their Flint 2 (GL-MT6000) based on multiple recommendations online when looking for a router that supports OpenWRT. That’s preinstalled, with AdGuard Home and WireGuard VPN on top of it. I’m looking forward to set it up and play around with it.

        What do you exactly mean when you describe their approach in software as Android-like? That it’s easy to install services in OpenWRT?
