Can't wait for this to get OpenWrt support so I can buy it and the first thing I do to be to nuke the UBNT firmware.

Is OpenWRT on Unifi APs any good? I hadn’t heard of it before, and I couldn’t find any performance comparisons on a quick search. Ubiquiti has gone downhill on a lot of things the last 5 years or so, but their radio firmware has always been a step up (within their price range) for me. I wouldn’t mind ditching the Unifi controller software though.

I don't recall their latest hardware is supported, but why would you want that anyway if you're not looking to go all in on their controller stack?

		The controller is annoying and changes completely every 6 months, and for home I use basically none of its features beyond configuring the AP. Virtualy all the issues I’ve had with Unifi APs were controller bugs, telling the AP firmware to do stupid things when it could have done literally nothing. That said, I have some concerns that the OpenWRT AP firmware is not as optimized as the Unifi firmware is for that specific hardware. Mostly for wireless performance, but I also don’t want to hit some weird CPU bottleneck.

There are several other companies (e.g. Teltonika, glinet) that offer similar solutions that can use OpenWrt today
