The standalone Ubiquiti access points are still great IMHO. It's just their recent prosumer gateway/router product line that's really struggling. I've had a great experience with the older UAP-HD-PRO. Their newish $100 Wifi 6 U6-Lite AP is tempting but haven't tried it.

If you just need one AP you can set it up in standalone mode and forget about it. If you want more monitoring and control you'll need to have a Ubiquiti controller running to manage things. (can run one in docker, on a rasp pi, or just buy their "Cloud Key" product.)

Their Edgerouter VyOS products are awesome too. I won't touch their Unifi stuff but I can't find anything that's even in the same price ballpark as the EdgeRouter 4.

unless you need any feature besides wifi at all. then you need a controller and usg at all times.
