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.

Out of the box, my Unifi Security Gateway runs Debian, as did my previous Unifi AC access points.

I just checked and my new Wifi 7 APs don't run Debian though, they...
