Comment on Best secure router for home use?

This is interesting, I hadn’t seen this from them before and I’m in the market for a new router! Does this play nicely with additional access points?

They work with existing Ubiquiti AP’s no problem. I have the Dream Machine (I guess Dream router now) and it’s awesome. Wish I got the Dream Machine Pro which is switch-like and comes with no AP’s so you have to add them as needed and it supports cameras.

  They don’t supply Poe, mind. I’m planning an ubiquiti deployment:
  
  5-6x AP 6 Pro 1x TL-SG1016PE PoE switch (yuck, but cheap) 1x R86S running opnsense and docker VMs, with unifi controller and pihole in docker
  
  The R86S is the same price as the dream machine, but good luck running pihole on the DM

I have an older version but I think they all work pretty much the same. It should work fine for you depending on the brand/voltage of the APs you have currently.

  I have a couple Asus CT8’s that are dying on me, so I’d like to see if I can turn them in to AP’s. While I’d eventually like to get on to an OpnSense box I need a near term solution (as that will be a steep learning curve for me).
  
  Is there a resource available that documents compatability?
