Compared to your average all-in-one home router, however, these are also markedly less shitty.

Right. Which feels like it meets the criteria of "far from cheap" pretty well.

Are they, though? The only difference my parents (for example) would recognize between their ISP router and Ubiquiti would (might) be that the WiFi is "a bit better". And talking about security is a bit moot, given the topic of this thread.

Don't get me wrong, I see why you would spend money on Ubiquiti gear; in fact, I run a similar setup. But for your average non-technical user, it's going to be a harder sell. It's the same reason you (probably) don't run a several thousand euro enterprise WiFi at home.

If you've got under a half dozen devices in your network, just go with the ISP provided one. When you start approaching dozens of devices, the ISP ones tend to choke.

And yes, Ubiquiti most definitely isn't for non-technicals (Except for the AmpliFi stuff). It's more prosumer grade stuff. More features than the "gaming wifi" crap but still easier to configure than official Cisco stuff.

The nano with WIFI-6 is $99, the decent all-on-one routers with wifi-6 I've seen are around $200.

Unless, of course, you find spyware shitty... Which one would think most reasonable people do.
