So i need some input.
I think to replace my unify gear for european / open source one.
And i heavily hesitate between an opensource router with opnsense (from eu).
Or a mikrotik router.
Can any #network or #mikrotik #opensense #pfsense user give me any input.
Also does the one you own provide update / system update to EU server (even as mirror).
i need multiple wifi AP that share the same network
Thanks

I finally removed my last Unifi device last year and am not looking back.
I was trying to decide the same, but went with MikroTik since I wanted a solution that covered all my network gear. I also didn’t want either US or Non-NATO based solutions. I’ve been very happy with my choice. Just be careful with the APs. There are US-only models floating around on Ebay. If you buy those, you will get locked out of usable bands.@lexinova @buyeuropean@feddit.uk @buyeuropean@mastodon.social @mikrotik just brought a cAP AC and couldn’t be happier. Bit of a steep learnimg curve.
Also brought a CSS326 in error, was supposed to be a CRS, and the hardware looks fine but the French supplier is awful (@mikrotik happy to name and shame them if you’re curious) insisting it is returned to Poland. Am still going to get a CRS326 and an outdoor cAP.

I have a pfsense firewall and a mikrotik AP. Works great. With PfSense, I highly recommend you buy it on an appliance though. There are online shops in the EU which deliver it to you. Check the website.
On the MicroTik, the only complaint I have is that the Web GUI is a complete mess. It’s a Wi-Fi AP but every feature that any microtic product has is still visible and can even be changed by user input in the GUI. So you can mess around with 5G settings in spite of the fact it’s just a Wi-Fi AP. It does nothing, but clutter the UI.
