The last time I upgraded my networking setup (just as the pandemic started) I went with Ubiquiti, shortly after (before?) they started default forcing you to sign up for their cloud service to use the router, you can switch it to a locally operated mode after you sign up but they bury it in the options. Their networking equipment works great, don't get me wrong, but they don't open source anything. I keep waiting for the full rug pull when sales start to slow because everything they release is rock solid and everything I have is "good enough." I don't feel the need to upgrade for as long as the rug pull doesn't happen.

I am super grateful people are starting to work on open source solutions to this stuff :).
