Im asking for opinions on Ubiquity Access Points here because there are a lot of very smart people here.

I have a UAP that no longer will provide internet access but devices connect fine to it. When I went into the control program and checked the configuration I see a bunch of "Requires a Ubiquity Security Gateway" and also the same type of notice for needing a Ubiquity switch. I never ran into this before with Ubiquity. Is this there way of just selling more equipment? I do not remember seeing these notices in the controller software (unifi) before. I could setup an access point with no problem.

I just purchased a Netgear AP as a possible replacement because the Ubiquity one is at a clients location - two hours a way. Going to give Netgear a shot at this.

So, What is your opinion on Ubiquity?

I had once tried a Ubiquiti several years ago as a residential solution. I forget exactly why I stopped using it, but these days I find devices running OpenWRT to be much more predictable and reliable.

Thanks for replying. I forgot about OpenWRT. Wonder if that would work on the Ubiquity access point? Ill look into that
