Ubiquiti Launches UniFi OS Server for Self-Hosting

> An off the self Asus all in one home router actually has more features and capabilities.

This is just not true at all. I agree unifi can be buggy at times, and their super clean interface means they need to hide stuff all over the place, but I havent found any network configuration I couldnt do on Unifi yet.

Care to elaborate on exactly which functions standard asus routers have over Ubiquiti gear?

VLAN with an id of 0 isn't possible on the new interface last I checked. Which, granted is a weird thing to do, but...

There are off-the-shelf all-in-one Asus home routers that do VLANs?

Many Asus home routers advertise compatibility with and/or run OpenWRT internally, so yes to a certain reading.

Here's a random example I found:

Installing a custom firmware on a router does not count as 'off-the-shelf' imo.

I’m not speaking hypothetically, as I have used VLANs on native stock Asus firmware.

That's not a valid vlan ID for most vendors (Reserved) and can also be a security vulnerability, as it can allow traffic to elevate its Class of Service and hop vlans via this method.
