I am confused, this is just a 5G router right? Like the 5 year old Huawei CPE Pro 2 but with wifi7, poe and eSim?

Unifi is the Apple of networking gear. When something new is released the HN crowd is excited even when the same functionality existed already with another company.

More like the Sonos of networking gear, in that they were once kinda cool but squandered it with questionable product decisions.

On the Sonos tangent: the hardware is really good! But the software is just staggeringly, aggressively, and proactively terrible. :(

>>chrisw+7Q
Can it be reflashed

>>greena+wb1
there's sadly no community solution AFAICT

Why cant an android phone with ethernet tethering to a router suffice?

I've done this using an android phone, usb-c hub w/ethernet nic, and and edgerouter lite before.

The biggest missing piece i see is the option for an external antenna.

The antenna is often more important than the receiver
