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.

Apple of networking? I suppose no OpenWrt then.

You actually can install Openwrt on bunch of their hardware

Or OpenBSD, in my case a USG-3P. I would have otherwise tossed it but now it's a nice OpenBSD switch.

    OpenBSD 7.7 (GENERIC) #339: Sun Apr 13 17:52:27 MDT 2025
        deraadt@octeon.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/octeon/compile/GENERIC
    real mem = 536870912 (512MB)
    avail mem = 521142272 (497MB)
Only complaint I have with Unifi is so-so IPv6 support. I'd love to see a NAT64/DNS64 option configurable in their UI.
